It was there. I could post the picture today evening. There were also new SR1PM - strongly upgraded SR1M, and SR1MP, SR2MP,SR3MP - lightly upgraded SR family guns, with Picatinny rail and some modification with buttstock.

Please, post all the pictures. We are all very interested in Russian small arms, not only the new AK-12, but submachineguns as well.

Thanks for the great pictures Said and Vitaly! I, like eveybode else I'm sure, am looking forward to see more. Personally I'd love to see more of the command and signals vehicles on MT-LBu, BTR-80 and truck chassis. Most sites with pictures of TVM-2012 show only the tanks and trucks etc that participated in the dynamic display.

It's been told countless times already.

1. New telescopic buttstock with adjustable cheek piece.
2. Buttstock line is now continuous with the barrel.
3. Receiver lid is now non-detachable, but is pivoted forward at the gas block and is fixed by a spring-loaded catch in the back.
4. New rigid lid allows for installation of sights on it and is equipped with picatinny rails for this.
5. New ambidextrous safety.
6. Ejector slot is covered not by safety lever, but by a special sliding cover.
7. Reloading handle and ejector (with ejection slot cover) could be installed both on the right and on the left.
8. Action now has a bolt catch.
9. New mags are developed: stackable 2-row (30 rounds), 4-row (60 rounds), and drum (100 rounds, IIRC)
10. Interchangeable handguard — with picatinny rails and with grenade launcher lugs.
11. Picatinny rails on the gas block.
12. Barrel can be exchanged much more easily.
13. New muzzle device compatible with rifle grenades.

Nice photos of AK-12. This model looks typically Russian, rough, tough and lethal. I prefer it much to the other AK western-style mockup models
