Pioneer Arms Micro Hellpup CORE Features The Pioneer Arms Micro Hellpup CORE pairs its 7-inch barrel with a short Krinkov-style muzzle device a design historically used on shortened AK variants to help redirect muzzle blast and reduce the flash signature that comes with cutting an AK barrel down significantly. The M14x1LH thread pattern beneath that muzzle device accepts compatible metric-threaded devices for owners who want to swap it out while the 1:9 right-hand twist rate keeps 7.62x39mm projectiles stabilized despite the reduced barrel length. A forged front trunnion and 90-degree gas block give the CORE the structural strength to handle repeated 7.62x39mm firing cycles and an enhanced safety selector improves on the traditional AK lever for more positive tactile engagement. The quad Picatinny rail handguard wraps accessory mounting space around the full forend giving owners the ability to add lights lasers or a foregrip without needing rail adapters or aftermarket handguard swaps. A side-mounted optic rail on the blued steel receiver provides a traditional AK optics mounting point letting shooters add a red dot without modifying the receiver itself. Adjustable sights come standard giving the CORE a usable iron sight setup right out of the box independent of whether an optic gets added later. The blued finish across both the barrel and receiver provides the corrosion resistance and classic AK aesthetic that Pioneer Arms has built its Hellpup line around and the black plastic grip keeps the overall weight down while providing a secure textured hold. Two included 30-round magazines give owners full-capacity ammunition on hand immediately without a separate magazine purchase. For AK pistol enthusiasts who want a lightweight accessory-ready 7.62x39mm pistol without the pistol brace included on other Micro Hellpup variants the Pioneer Arms Micro Hellpup CORE is available now at GrabAGun.
