The "M" denotes that it is the improved or "modernized" AK74, the "N" indicates that is is equipped with a side mount for attaching night optics.

The AK-74M externally differs from the AK-74 of late 1980s production by the side-folding, solid black plastic buttstock and by the scope rail, mounted on the left receiver as as a standard. Some minor improvements also were made in the production process and external finish of the new rifle.
