At SHOT Show 2025, a new firearm called the AKB-23 was showcased, drawing inspiration from the UK’s SA80/L85 service rifle. The AKB-23 features a lower receiver compatible with the Brownells BRN-180 Gen 2 upper receiver (among other piston operated AR-type uppers), which has an 18.5-inch barrel. The displayed model was equipped with furniture designed by A&K.
