mount has 20 fewer components than the preceding Samozhenkov tripod and is 40% less labour-intensive, simplifying and rationalizing production. The Stepanov mount is based on a principle of multi-functional components: the elevation mechanism frame is also used as a pole for kneeled shooting or anti-aircraft fire; the base sleeve also serves as the axis for attaching rear legs of the tripod: the machine gun attachment is combined with the elevation mechanism frame lock for anti-aircraft fire; the fine elevation adjustment mechanism is integrated with the elevation mechanism axis. Each tripod leg can be folded for transport or adjusted for proper height on uneven terrain. The ammunition belt box can be secured to the right rear tripod leg in such a manner that the gun can be moved with the ammunition box still in place and with the gun loaded. This enables one crew member to carry and operate the gun in combat without having to unload the gun before repositioning the gun.

1003:. All types of ammunition belt boxes are carried and mounted separately. The Rakov device is used for loading ammunition belts. The PK machine gun is attached to a cradle on the 6T2 Samozhenkov mount. The cradle is hinged to a plug-in swivel equipped with a rack-and-pinion traversing mechanism, and a rod-and-screw elevation mechanism. The traversing mechanism is fitted with stops to limit the field of fire. For anti-aircraft fire or fire against ground targets from a kneeling position the cradle mounts a collapsible pole with a pivoting bracket. The mount features non-digging-in spades — sliding spades affect the accuracy of fire less than a "jumping" tripod with dug-in spades. There is an extra folding spade on the front leg for slippery and moving ground. Hinged tripod legs allow a gunner to fire the machine gun from a prone, a sitting, or a kneeling position. 538:

production at the Kovrov Mechanical Plant. However, the weapon had some flaws, the main flaw being that the weapon did not resist water and snow very well. Water and snow had a tendency to enter the gas piston. If, after firing, the machine gun was in the water, then after two or three shots the machine gun could fire exclusively only shot by shot. After a single shot, the shooter had to reload the weapon and move the slide manually two or three times. The army therefore asked Nikitin to solve this problem, but the engineer took too long to resolve this problem. In order to force Nikitin to work faster, the Main Artillery and Missile Directorate decided in 1958 to restart the competition. For that a team of Izhevsk Mechanical Plant designers, headed by

926:, which have links that wrap around the cartridge case shoulder all the way around, and are linked by a coiling wire on each side. The links are made of 0.8 mm (0.03 in) thick high carbon stamped steel sheet metal that is zinc phosphated and varnished for protection. These belts are preloaded at ammunition factories in 25-round connectable belt lengths and can be linked to any length necessary. Factory connected PK ammunition belts are available in 25, 100, 200 and 250 rounds lengths. Typical of Soviet machine guns, the PK feeds from the right and ejects its spent cases via an ejection port on the left side of the weapon, contrary to the right side ejection port seen in most Western machine guns. 902:. Such engineered woods are stronger and resist warping better than the conventional one-piece patterns, do not require lengthy maturing, and are cheaper. The wooden furniture was finished with the Russian amber shellac finishing process. Small accessories and an oil-solvent container can be stored inside butt recesses. Later the buttstock was fitted with a hinged butt-rest. More recent PKM machine guns and barrel assemblies are equipped with a new black glass-filled polyamide buttstock, pistol grip and barrel carry handle/grip shaped like the previously used laminated wooden stock and grips. 911: 2178: 1697: 799: 2358: 1640: 582:, while the PN1 used a new type of bands which was not yet in production at the time. Furthermore, according to Kalashnikov, its competitors attempted to bias the test by asking operators to lower the rate of fire because of overlapping bands during long bursts. There was also another incident during the test, according to Kalashnikov, the recoil of the PN1 was poorly distributed and a large part ended up in the stock; the pressure was so great that one of the soldiers responsible for testing the PN1 broke his cheekbone. 658: 1618: 1592: 782:. The muzzle was normally equipped with a conical flash suppressor that added 53 mm (2.1 in) to the barrel and later a long slotted flash suppressor that added 72 mm (2.8 in) to the barrel. Later when the PKM variant was introduced the PK series barrel fluting was omitted and the muzzle device was changed to a shorter cylindrical slotted flash suppressor that added 40 mm (1.6 in) to the barrel. The PKM barrel assembly weighs 2.4 kg (5.3 lb) and can fire up to 400 rounds in 1326: 2536: 2498: 2044: 1204: 1430: 1077:(ПК Модернизированный: "Kalashnikov's Machine-gun Modernised"), was adopted into service in 1969. The PKM is a modernised, product-improved version of the PK. The upgrades are primarily aimed at reducing the weight, simplifying production, and facilitating easier operation. The receiver cover became more rigid due to lengthwise ribs. The butt was fitted with a hinged butt-rest. The barrel fluting was omitted and the flash hider was changed. Later on the PKM was equipped with a new black 1525: 1940: 1684: 666: 2476: 2125: 736:

maintenance easier. The protruding rear part of the bolt carrier assembly features spiral shaped cuts, which provide a controlled rotation of the bolt. The mainspring is accommodated in the bolt carrier assembly slide channel. A cartridge extractor with a latch is mounted in the rear part of the bolt carrier assembly. The cocking lever, mounted on the right, is not integral with the bolt carrier and does not reciprocate as the gun fires.

1041: 144: 1818: 2450: 2310: 2191: 2097: 1442: 1192: 690:", wherein the firing chamber becomes so hot that the propellant contained in a chambered round unintentionally ignites, making the weapon fire until the ammunition is exhausted. Open bolt designs typically operate much cooler than closed bolt designs due to the airflow allowed into the chamber, action and barrel during pauses between bursts, making them more suitable for constant full-automatic weapons such as 2523: 2386: 2297: 2084: 2071: 1966: 1953: 1579: 1494: 1481: 1422: 1406: 855:. When mounted, the 1P29 sight is positioned centered above the receiver at a height that allows the use of the iron sights. It weighs 0.8 kg, offers 4× magnification with a field of view of 8° and 35 mm eye relief. The 1P29 is issued with a canvas pouch, a lens cleaning cloth, combination tool, two rubber eyecups, two eyecup clamps and three different bullet drop compensation (BDC) cams for the 2463: 2266: 1912: 1858: 2430: 2232: 2058: 1747: 1566: 1538: 2399: 2372: 2245: 2138: 2031: 1831: 1791: 1773: 1734: 1658: 1552: 1512: 1468: 1455: 2558: 478: 36: 2417: 2345: 2323: 2218: 2165: 1992: 1927: 1805: 2284: 2205: 2005: 2018: 1979: 1898: 1884: 1760: 1671: 1605: 2152: 2111: 1718: 1065:

higher than other PK-series variants and is usually fed from 250-round ammunition boxes. The PKT barrel assembly weighs 3.23 kg (7.1 lb) and can fire up to 500 rounds in rapid fire scenarios before it has to be replaced for another barrel or allowed to cool down to prevent unacceptable wear of the bore. Some PKTs have been converted to infantry machine guns.

1414: 1844: 713:, which is operated by the feed lever. The lever, which is simplified compared to the prior art, is mounted on the right wall of the receiver and wraps around the bolt carrier with its feed pawl and roller. The rest of the mechanism is mounted either on the receiver cover or on the ammunition feed tray cover hinged under it. The PK feed mechanism pulls the 3372: 934:

550:. Kalashnikov accepted the task despite his workload and the fact that Nikitin's PN1 had already been chosen by the army and that the latter was supported by certain ministries and senior officers. Their machine gun prototype was based on the well-proven gas-operated rotary-bolt design of the 954:

The PK is equipped with a simple detachable bipod mounted to the gas cylinder beneath the barrel and in that light machine gun setup is used as a squad-level support weapon. The right bipod leg accommodates links of a cleaning rod. Other accessories include a sling and storage covers.
