Fair question, and Believe me, this is the same question asked by all Algerians interested in military matters...When will the Algerian Special Forces change their AKs?...

Perhaps the reason AKs have remained in service until now is due to the fact that they are locally produced, and the Algerian army does not intend to introduce individual weapons that are not manufactured locally ...
Therefore, we note that the Algerian army has recently modernized its individual weapons production lines and obtained new licenses and new weapons designs from China such as the CS/LS7 and more as we previously explained in this topic.

Modern production lines in the individual weapons factory - ECMK

I know Algerian SOF uses some pretty advanced stuff, but why are they still using AKs? With this particular configuration the weight gets up by a lot with all of these picatinny. Beefy stock has its plus so I understand, but they sure have to look into some western platform. I am sure budget would not be a problem for them.

As we spoke previously, my friend, yesterday the first sniper rifle manufactured in Algeria by ECMK company , was displayed during the Defense Industries Exhibition , We hope that in the next stage they will release new products for individual weapons , In order to replace the older AKs .
