This means that the AKV-521 now features separate upper receiver with solid 1913-MIL-STD top, and a lower receiver which houses trigger and magazine. Due to modular nature of the AKV-521, it is planned to be offered with optional additional upper receivers with barrels, allowing for quick caliber of configuration change.
