Product Overview
Meridian Defense Trench-103 with FRT
The Trench 103 is a battlefield-inspired take on the classic AK-103. Built on the proven AK-103 platform, it combines the reliability and durability of a modern Kalashnikov with a hand-finished appearance drawn from the improvised, field-painted rifles seen in modern trench warfare.
Each rifle is individually Cerakoted by hand to replicate the worn, spray-painted look of rifles adapted to harsh environments and changing terrain. No two are exactly alike, giving every Trench 103 its own character.
Every Trench 103 is equipped with an UltiMAK M1-B optic rail, replacing the standard gas tube with a rock-solid, low-profile Picatinny mounting solution. The forward-mounted rail allows for red dots and scout-style optics while maintaining a natural cheek weld and retaining the rifle's classic handling characteristics.
TRIGGER
This rifle ships with a forced reset trigger (FRT) installed by Copperhead USA. Every FRT-equipped rifle is test fired for function before shipping, so it arrives with rounds through the barrel and light carbon in the action. This is a new firearm - the rounds fired are solely part of the trigger function check, not prior use.
