The TKB-517 assault rifle was designed by Gherman A. Korobov. This rifle was similar externally to the AK-47 but based on the delayed blowback mechanism invented by Pál Király. It turned out to be more reliable and accurate and easier to produce and maintain. Like the AK series it was also manufactured with folding stocks long heavier barrels with bipods forming light support weapons and even a belt-fed variant.
