Molot, which I believe is now part of the new Kalashnikov Group, has just begun selling their new Molot Vepr Carbine chambered in 9mm. I don’t have much information about it, all I know is that it uses regular Glock magazines, weighs 7.5 lbs, has an M4-style stock and a forward picatinny rail for mounting a red dot optic. At todays exchange rate it is selling for just over $1,000 USD.

In the exact configuration pictured above it could not be imported into the USA, but if Molot swapped out the pistol grip and M4 stock for a thumbhole stock and removed that muzzle device, it should be import-legal.

This time last year Molot introduced their new tactical .308 Win. and 5.56mm Vepr carbines.

Thanks to Max @ Guns.ru for the information.
