The AK-107 is a Russian 5.45 mm assault rifle developed from the AK-100-series. It features a balanced operating system similar to that used in the AEK-971. In this case the designation AK does not indicate Avtomat Kalashnikova but Alexandrov/Kalashnikov. The revised designation indicates the incorporation of a new gas system designed by Youriy Alexandrov for Kalashnikov-pattern rifles.These new rifles were derived from the AL-7 experimental rifle of the early 1970s.
