Did any other Russian manufacturer build krinks as well?

I'm sure once these 86' kits are gone, amazingly a random lot (but so random) will be found and all be dated 1984 or something.

Are you sure Izhmash made them too? If so, I can see it now 4 years from now.... "RARE FIND! We got a very rare and lucky shipment of demilled 1983 Russian IZHMASH (yes you read that right IZHMASH) made AKS-74U Krinkov parts kits! Krinkov kits havn't been available in the US for years. These are all numbers matching and a super rare to find. Get them while they last! $4999.99 shipped." LOL

If you find an Izzy AKS-74U, there's a 99.99% chance it's a counterfeit.....there are grey areas in the inner workings of the Soviet arms production. To my knowledge, AKS-74Us have only been produced in the Tula plant......but I have seen an AKS-74U clone with Izzy markings on the trunion.

Tula did however. 86's are the most common Russian kit's on this side of the pond. I've got a few 86's, an 85', an 83' and know where an original barrel 82' kit is.

But definately not in any real numbers. As a related side note, a lot of folks may not know the Tula factory made a few AKMS (AKM rifles with the underfolding buttstock).
