The top cover is marked "circled arrow/NoPK-446M/B." The serial number, model, caliber, and manufacturer information is marked on the left side of the receiver. Fitted with laminate two-piece handguard, buttstock, and ribbed pistol grip panels. Includes three steel drum belt carriers, non-disintegrating metal ammunition links, extra Russian top cover assembly, extra feed tray assembly, extra operating rod, extra bolt, extra cleaning rod, extra Russian lower receiver assembly, extra charging handle, cleaning kit, and Chinese marked web sling.
