Krinkov velocities

[sernv99]

I'm looking to add a second AK variant and the AMD and "Krinkov" SBR look appealing, both are like sub-guns. I'm leaning towards the Krinkov as a SBR and wanted to know if the 7.62x39 round achieves most of it's velocity through the shorter barrel?

I'd bet on it still being over 2000fps from an 8 or 9 inch barrel.

The 7.62x39 round is quite powerful, has very good penetration, and has a very long effective range. Because of this, it is not going to be significantly degraded from a shorter barrel. In some cases, due to the bowing AK barrels experience, a shorter barrel can make them more accurate as well.

 

[HorseSoldier]

Not sure if the 25 fps per inch of barrel rule of thumb works for 7.62x39, but going by that you should still be around 2100-2150 feet per second.

Your problem right now is going to be finding one LOL.

I have already found one at a good price

SBR AKS are tremendous fun at the range! If you can't get a Krinkov you still can go SBR.
