If you are interested in an Izhmash biathlon rifle then I suggest you contact Russianz Ltd as they are importers of Kalashnikov products.
Izhmash has a different business model, in that you order the rifle and then they build it.

Izhmash is one of the Russian Armoury manufacturers like Baikal, Toz etc. The straight pulls and the other .22 stuff like the Korshun, and SM2 are a special order item that they make but are not carried in stock like the Saigas (sporter AK actioned rifles). The centre fires like the Los (7.62x39, 308 or 9.3) are also made to order. These made to order models are much higher quality than you normally see. For example, The Bi 72KO A biathlons have an anshutz (A) barrel such is the grade of shooter they are designed for.
