The AK-105 is a short barrel, carbine version of the AK-74M rifle, originally developed to replace the shorter barrelled AKS-74U. The AK-105 is chambered in 5.45×39mm ammunition[1] and is used domestically by the Russian Army in contrast to other AK-100 series rifles.[2]
The carbine is produced at Izhmash factories in Izhevsk, Russia. It is part of the AK-100 family.[3]
