   The AKMSL was the first Soviet assault rifle with a folding stock, designed and adapted for use with night sights. All previous modifications of assault rifles for use with night sights were with a permanent stock.

   On December 4, 1965, the GRAU letter confirmed the approval of the future AKMSL assault rifle by the command of the Airborne Forces and they were included in the supply contract. Thus, I remind you that no machine guns under the name AKMSN existed, and the line of Soviet 7.62-mm machine guns with a folding butt with night sights looked like this: AKMSL with NSP-3, AKMSN-1 with NSPU (NSPU-3), AKMSN2 with NSPUM, AKMSN3 with NSPU-3.

   Handguard is not final. Non removable muzzle device is gay. Pistol grip made as single part with trigger guard is also poo. Both of those changes kills ability to put existing after market parts of AKs on this one. 

   Other changes - stock lost metalic tube as basis, now it is full polymer. Fire selector got changed as well:

Usual lever is gone, not small fire selector on both sides allows you to change firing mode or select "safe", which moves shutter/lever piece back to place where it close a gap.

More about MTs-556 in one of units:

   Contents of delivery.
   The rifle comes with a Pelican-type case, a soft carrying case, five magazines, and two Dedal scopes:
Daytime - 4-20 * 50 in the second focal plane - in Russia it has no analogues in principle.
Thermal imaging - T4 Hunter Pro with a laser block - a very good sight.


   In addition, the kit includes the original Harris bipod and this is a big plus, since there are no domestic alternatives to them.
   Some believe that the bipod is a deeply secondary element of the complex, but this is not so - the shooter shoots, the "bed" hits. But none of the above will work adequately if the bipod is bad.

   Impressions.
   We didn’t have specific plans for the MTs-566 - everything depended on what the shooting would show directly in terms of accuracy, the work of parts and mechanisms.
If the rifle shows decent accuracy parameters, it will find a job. If not, this is a wonderful donor of sighting systems and bipods for the SV-98.
   A detailed external inspection followed by incomplete disassembly to prepare for firing showed a fairly high production culture. Despite the many Picatinny rails, everything is processed with high quality - the rifle is simply pleasant to take in hand.
   Stock tube is mil-spec - Tula decided not to go the way of KK, which loves uniqueness too much.
   Handle and mags from AR.


   In general, there is where to turn around. The thread on the barrel is standard - 18/1.
   By the way, the rifle comes with a cylindrical nozzle, which many mistakenly take for a "can".
   As for the working "can", which, according to the plan, was to be completed with the rifle being adopted, we did not see it, just as we did not see, in fact, the combat model.
Therefore, we closed the issue with the bank with the help of you - Thank you very much!

   Shooting.
   We are far from the first to receive the MTs-566 at our disposal and we know for sure that not everyone had it “flew”.
   We "flew".
   There are no secrets here, but I will not delve into the twists and the mass of bullets within the framework of this text. The twist, by the way, is 240 mm.

 

   In general, rifle is 1 minute weapon and there is work for her.
   I will add that the rifle is interesting - a kind of right hybrid of widely used elements and an original approach.
   The bolt group is reminiscent of the SCAR / Vintorez, the trigger is like a module, but simple and adjustable, the tuning elements are interchangeable with AR - everything is in color.
   To Tulyaks - my Respect "(c)" Bekas ".
