These newer rifles from Russia have exact decades old AK-47 internal mechanism. Furniture is changed here and there. AK-103 is well tried and tested by them and others. Sometime modifications done to old and well tried out model do not work hence better to stick with well tried out model. if the mechanism to fire is same, then why bother with newer model. Sometimes the newer model are made for raising the prices, that may be the case here.Ak12/15 completed its trails in Dec 2017 and the Russian army adopted it in Jan 2018. Deliveries will start from the end of this year. It will be replacing the older Ak103 series of rifles. So we can go ahead and get the rifles of this decade instead of buying a rifle of 1990s
