Let me be 100% clear...That pic above is FN's
It is not Handl Defense's 7.62x39 for the Mk.17 or 17S. It is possible Handl Defense's work on making the CAR-H an even a more streamlined multi-caliber system, might have influenced this release. Judging by conversations I know that took place, the lifecycle renewal, it is pretty likely all of those factors played into this release.
Handl Defense does not want to cause confusion between the FN kit and the Handl one. FN should get full credit for theirs and we ours. The Handl version dates back about 2.5 years and the FN about 3 or more.
The Handl AK kit is aluminum ...FN's polymer
Handl AK mag catch is ambi...FN's is centrally located
Handl AK mag well is more of an arc.... FN's is more of a straight line
I can also tell by the pins that the Handl and FN magazine retention points are different.

take a good look at the AK based gun in this video, it is noticeably different than the FN gun
