    Source is SPF posts from this https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,14091.0.html thread. Desktop model photos - I've found em several days ago at WorthPoint.

    FB-23 model was stolen from NG model shop by off-staff repair technician, before it was sold to one unsuspecting guy for a fistful of $$ and then offered for sale on eBay before partyvan has arrived.

    welcome to SH，i checked SP forum later on and finds them so yes, but still have no idea the original source.

    i should just cancel my AIAA membership...

    They are the same weapon. The MA from last year was, as far as I know, a mockup of the functional AM-17s from this year. "MA" stood for "Малогабаритный автомат", which roughly translates to "micro assault rifle". "AM" stands for "автомат" plus the designer's name, I believe. (EDIT: I am wrong, they just switched the letters for some dumb reason.)

     

     

    You are a little mixed up. SVCh is the new designation for the SVK. They are the same weapon. From what I can father, Kalashnikov Concern changed its designation system sometime last year, or rather changed it back. "SVK" stood for "Снайперская Винтовка Кала́шникова" ("Sniper Rifle Kalashnikov"), reflecting the company. They decided to change its designation to reflect the designer, as they had historically. So the SVK became the SVCh, or Снайперская Винтовка Кала́шникова Чукавина, or "Sniper Rifle Chukavin".

    The rifle you are thinking of is the SK-16, an oddball design that apparently used a gas trap mechanism, and went nowhere. 

    SVK/SVCh:

    SK-16:

    The confusion comes because around the time the SK-16 was revealed, pictures of an early SVK prototype were also released, and the two looked somewhat similar:

    ^Early SVK/SVCh prototype

    some source claims early SVK prototype is a gas trap design which i found hard to believe

    Burst fire was sort of a short-lived fad, and I don't think that any AKs were ever mass produced with burst limiters.  It was just something that was offered if it would help sales.

    what about Bolt Catch？ is the Bolt Catch mechanism from old AK-12 still available？

    According to my sources it performs better than the "real" AK-12, while being cheaper. I agree it's disappointing visually though.

    Also EOTech lol.

    What kind of better performs? also does the new AK-12 cancel the burst firing mode entirely?
