Description
The line of TKB-022 experimental assault rifles is one of most intrigying developments in small arms, made in Soviet Union. In many respects these weapons, designed during early sixties by Soviet gun designer G. A. Korobov were many years ahead of its time. Those guns were simply too advanced for conservative-thinking Soviet Army officers who preferred simple, familiar, proven and reliable Kalashnikov assault rifles over anything else. Regardless of thst, the TKB-022 is well worth mentioning, if just for the sake of curiosity.
ugly
"Experimental rifle"
But it was abandoned because of fail, still, interesting.
I hope that's not all wood.. that would be a disaster waiting to happen
Interesting gun...but,what is it chambered for?AK rounds?
Yes. The original version was chambered for 7.62x39mm Soviet, and later versions were also chambered in several of the experimental rounds that lead to the development of the 5.45x39mm.
It's a real shame that the rifle never got off the ground. It was simple and easy to make, very reliable and easy to clean. Ugly as all hell, but a very solid rifle.
WHAT IS THAT! IT BURNZ, IT BURNZ! AHHHHH MY EYYYYYES!
