The KK-Mpi-69 (Klein Kaliber Maschinenpistole 1969) was a .22 rimfire training model of the standard East German stamped AKM. It used a simple blowback replacement bolt assembly and proprietary front trunnion along with a standard AKM receiver and fire control group. There is no gas block, since a gas piston is not used, and the sights are calibrated for short range rimfire shooting only. The magazines are standard AKM magazine bodies holding 15-round .22 rimfire magazines. Approximately 50,000 of these were made between 1970 and 1975.
Many thanks to the IRCGN (Institut de Recherche Criminelle de la Gendarmerie Nationale) for allowing me access to film this unusual AK variant for you!
