LCT Airsoft announced that the MPi-AKS-74NK AEG from the DDR AK series, is set to be released next week. What we know is that this rifle known as the "Kurz" model, was initially issued primarily to East German armored crews and special/recon teams but was not widely exported. Most of these rifles were destroyed following German reunification. A notable fact is that this short-barreled AK-74 predated Russia's widespread adoption of the 12.5-inch barrel as an ideal length for the cartridge.

Press release below:

LCT proudly presents its first AEG of DDR AK: MPi-AKS-74NK. Launching October 21st — history reborn for true collectors.
