The AK-19 is a 5.56×45mm NATO assault rifle designed by Kalashnikov Concern for the export market.

Revealed during the International Military-Technical Forum ARMY-2020 exhibition, the AK-19 is a variant of the updated AK-12, revealed at the same time, chambered in 5.56×45mm NATO, which in August 2020, was under development upon the request of potential international clients.[citation needed]

The rifle has a weight of 3.5 kg (7.72 lb), a barrel length of 415 mm (16.3 in), a full length of 935mm (36.8 in), and a standard 30 round box magazine.[6]
