Its chambered in 6.5 Grendel but it can switch to 7.62x39 by changing the barrel.

at this point, why bother not just going to the AR platform?

Here is a video from TFB on this rifle:

It’s cool, but without an AR bolt hold-open, I’d rather just keep the AK charging handle.
AMRIKA-ARMORY@reddit
Yeah of all the things to take from the AR, the charging handle is basically the only bad choice they could have made lol. It’s my least favorite thing about the AR platform.
Great for its day but there are so many better options now for other non-reciprocating designs.

From a purely design standpoint the AR charging handle is one of the absolute best out there. People don't like the ergonomics, but design wise it is fantastic (and I'm an AK fanboi).
You don't need any gaping hole in the side of the reciever, nor a track that can get clogged up that many non reciprocating guns have. It's probably the best solution out there for keeping a gun sealed up.
It is extremely low profile without having to fold and won't snag anything like a side charger can.
Perhaps most importantly it is basically ambi by default without any switches and an identical manual of arms can be taught to both rightys and lefties. A true ambi handle is also a five second upgrade that doesn't interfere with either team and truly does have identical MoA for everyone.
I'm one of those weirdos who still loves the rugged simplicity of reciprocating charging handles (gasp!) But I have to admit the AR charging handle is probably the absolute best from a pure functionality standpoint.

I still like that the charging handle is ambi, especially given that long straight mag is going to get in the way of the reach-under charging technique that a lot of people prefer now that optics make it harder to go over the top.

So are we gettin m19 imports or are you just reminding us of the nice things we cant have?
T90tank@reddit
Quick change barrels. Can go from 5.56 to .300 or 7.62 to 6.5 grendel.
I'll take 2

This is a cool weapon, thank you for posting it! But brother, 414 x 233 resolution? Is this meant for a 2002 Nokia or something?
Here are the same pictures in 1440p.

This rifle is still in development, I saw some newer version which has a charging handle on the handguard (on top of those keymods). Its a cool concept, but still needs refinement.
BrokenBodyEngineer@reddit
It’s also in 6.5Grej

An AR-style charging handle by your nose is a step backwards.

Could be worse, they didn't add a buffer tube that makes the stock unfoldable
Stuuble@reddit
Wow! Every part that makes the ar shit and none of the good! (The safety is actually dope but really no ar mag compatibility?)

I love Zastava, but maaaaaan, this is ugly.
NarfoOnTheNet@reddit
I like how chonky it looks

Total American cultural victory within sight
