MSN Yalquzaq
Notes: This
rifle was began production by Azerbaijan a few years after the breakup of the
Soviet Union. For this reason, the
Azerbaijani MoD chose to chamber in their new rifle in 7.62mm NATO instead of a
cartridge like 7.62mm Nagant. The
Yalquzaq is a bolt-action rifle with a long, 26-inch, heavy, fluted barrel,
tipped with a beefy muzzle brake.
Each rifle, upon production, is tested on a range, and the test shooters must be
able to hit 99% of the time at 400 meters.
Azerbaijani literature says that “although being a precision instrument,
the system must resist harsh military use…”
The stock is
similar to several Magpul designs, and is a sliding stock with a recoil pad,
adjustments for cheek height, and length of pull.
The trigger is user-adjustable for pull weight and pull length.
The bipod is a slight, folding design, adjustable for height and cant.
Atop the receiver is a MIL-STD-1913 rail, linked to one atop the handguards.
The sides of the handguards have rails, and a short rail is under the
handguard (to which the bipod is attached).
