What kind of ammunition does the Arak 21 XRS shoot?

The ARAK-21 XRS seeks to combine the benefits of both weapon systems into one gun. The original ARAK was an upper receiver, bolt system, and barrel that allowed a shooter to fire the AK-47’s iconic 7.62×39 millimeter ammunition with any standard AR-15 lower receiver. Faxon has released a lower to go with its nifty upper.

What is the dual ejector on the Arak 21?

The ARAK-21 comes with a dual ejector, allowing you to eject your spent shell casings to the left or right. This feature is a godsend for lefty shooters who often have to contend with casings being ejected to the right. The ARAK’s safety is also ambidextrous.
