The Paratrooper configuration uses a shortened 16-inch barrel with a small slotted muzzle brake fitted at the crown. It uses a 10-round fixed internal magazine that loads via stripper clips. The bayonet was deleted and the lug is neutered/absent. The cleaning rod is not present.
Furniture consists of a hardwood stock with a glossy finish and a matching wood gas-tube handguard. The stock has sling swivels and a 12.5-inch length of pull. Sights are traditional SKS iron sights with a hooded front post and a tangent leaf rear graduated to 1000 m.
The action is a semi-automatic, short-stroke gas piston system with a tilting bolt.
