Korobov TKB-517: A 'Would Have Been'

[Bashabasher]

This Rifle proved to be more reliable, accurate, cheap to manufacture, and easier to produce than the AK series, However it still got flawed.

There were also folding stock variants, h bar's etc. It used the Lever-Dlayed blowback operation and proved sucessful. Is this type of operation more advanced than the HK type Roller-Delayed blowback?, The French seem to be fond users of it as they use the FAMAS and still stuck with the AA-52 jimpy over these years since thier conflict in Indochina.
