About
What it is, and why it matters
The Grand Power ARAQ-S is a short-stroke piston-operated semi-automatic rifle chambered in 7.62x39mm. Representing Grand Power's take on an AK-caliber modern sporting rifle, it blends the proven 7.62x39mm cartridge with AR-style ergonomics and modularity. Available in 16.5-inch and 11-inch barrel configurations.
The ARAQ name combines 'AR' (referencing the AR platform ergonomics) with 'AK' (referencing the 7.62x39mm caliber), embodying Grand Power's philosophy of bridging Western and Eastern firearms traditions.
Overall length 1000mm (16.5" barrel) or 900mm (11" barrel). Width 78mm without charging handle.
