Gunsmith – AKS-74N is a BEAR task built around a specific collection of Zenit attachments. The magazine is an easy detail to miss because Mechanic wants the AK-12 30-round model, not the early-model version.
Requirements
- This quest is only obtainable by BEAR PMCs.
- Mechanic loyalty level 3.

How to complete the build
Use an AKS-74N from Prapor LL2 and install the required Zenit handguard, dust cover, stock, grips, illuminator and muzzle brake.
Check the magazine's full item name before buying it. The AK-12 early-model 30-round magazine is not the required version.
Check the complete weapon in the inspection window before handing it over. The quest checkmark can be inconsistent even when a build qualifies, so a missing marker alone does not prove the weapon cannot be submitted.
