The Orthos Arms Babushka is a compact AK pistol built around forged internals rather than cast parts. The front trunnion, bolt and carrier are all hammer forged, and the 10.50" cold hammer forged barrel is chrome-lined with a 1:9.5 twist to stabilize 7.62X39 from a short tube. A flash hider and brake combo rides on M24x1.5 right-hand threads.

The stamped steel receiver comes from PSA, and Orthos dresses it with a flat-blade skeletonized trigger, an aluminum pistol grip, an aluminum hand stop and an ACX adjustable all-aluminum brace. A 90-degree combo front sight and gas block works with a fixed rear sight, and a Picatinny optics mount plus a 1913 Picatinny adapter with rear tang piece come in the box. It ships with a 30-round US Palm magazine and a 10-round PMAG with Orthos' +5 aluminum extension, all finished in FDE Cerakote and backed by Orthos' lifetime warranty.
