most likely stuck somewhere in tenders or trials or whatever,
i think some of the units like RR and Para SF guys did have bulgarian Arsenal krinkov AK among them in 7.62x39mm, they can get TriCa if they would like so, but rest i've rarely seen it in service elsewhere

i personally think in modern era krinkovs are more or less obsolete, simply because they lack enough barrel to fire effectively without that muzzle device thing to compensate muzzle blasts and lights, also that shorter barrel won't even spin a bullet that well to be effective at some distance above 100 m - it's good as PDW or CQB thing in compact configuration - but don't we already have modern rifles with folding buttstocks and other tactical things to be far more effective than some vanilla krinkov?

TriCa should be forked to AK-104 // AK-204 like thing (or perhaps they can put shorter barrel in desi AK-203i to make AK-204i here?) - that ~12.5 some to 13 inch barrel AK is perfect as compact carbine without penalty on ballistic performance on bullets fired

Well, @Alby probably will get his hands on this and update us.
