The AKV-521 allows the shooter to use 415-mm or 341-mm changeable barrels chambered in 5.45×39, 7.62×39 и .223REM. The range of options provides the AKV-521 with high export potential, since the design allows adapting the carbine for customer needs at the warehouse level, by shipping select components, instead of producing several firearms at the production facility.
