The AN-94 (5.45x39.5) sometimes referred to as the "Akban 94". That was supposed to replace the 74' but with the cost of the AN94 being 2x more than the 74' and the Russian economy in the toilet, It doesn't seem likely that more than the initial 1000 AN-94's will be made for a long time.

AN94 Akban is hailed as the best production military rifle in the world. SAR did a big article on it awhile back. sounds like excellent piece.
I still would prefer the Land Warrior ove rthe AN94, the AN94 might be the best shooting rifle on the market, but the advance electronics on the land warrior is second to none, if they can get the weight down and the unit durable and long lasting with the back pack battery unit, then again, the basic rifle, the M4 is in my humble opinion one of the best rifle ever produced. |

Hell....I'd be more than happy to support the ailing Russian economy and buy me a personal arsenal of AN-94s but alas....their gov't won't sell, our gov't says we can't buy! Don't you hate it when governments get in the way of free economics.

The reciprocating barrel is what gets me, looks like some decktop WW2 antiaircraft gun with the barrel moving in and out.
I wonder about it's reliability however, with a moving barrel and dirt ingress.
