Description

The Kalashnikov SR1 semi-automatic rifle chambered for 223 Remington is the world’s first civilian balanced-action firearm developed specifically for the IPSC practical shooting competitions.
Purpose: sport.

Balanced action means that rifle features two gas pistons, entering single gas block above the barrel from opposite directions. Rear gas piston is attached to the bolt carrier group in a usual way. Forward gas piston, which moves opposite to the rear one, is attached to a sliding counterweight, located above the bolt carrier group. Both counter-recoiling masses are synchronized by a pair of rotating gears, so after each discharge rearward and forward movementof the bolt group is balanced by a counter-moving mass attached to the forward gas piston, effectively canceling impulses generated by heavy reciprocating parts. As a result, rifle generates less felt recoil and is much easier to hold on target in rapid fire. The concept was developed in the AL-7, AKB-1 and AK-107 Izhevsk-produced experimental rifles and then launched into series production as the SR-1 sports rifle.
