Quite frankly, I believe the AK-103 is outclassed by most guns that can be made in the fabricator, especially something like the M4A1 (I will compare the AK-103 to the M4A1 through this post as I feel it is the most fair comparison)
The AK-103's stats are as followed (pre-attachments):
600 RPM
13.5 Recoil
2.7 Reload time
10 Deviation
30 Minute fabrication time
4.45 Weight
The M4A1's stats are as followed (pre-attachments)
750 RPM
2.67 Reload time
12 Recoil
10 Deviation
10 Minute fabrication time
3.55 Weight
Paired with this, the AK-103 has a lower choice of optics, albeit a higher choice of stocks. I understand the AK-103's ammo is found way more commonly however, it is still extreme for it to take 30 minutes to fabricate a gun when you can just get 3 M4A1's in the same amount of time that perform similarly. I'm not sure how much the damage difference is between the two but I imagine it isn't much given 7.62x39 is found more cheaply and commonly. At the very least, I believe the 103's fabrication time should be nerfed to 15 minutes, if not 10
If you feel I'm wrong or have something else to add, please comment below.

Well 7.62 does more damage than 556?

12 ...
The M4 does less damage per shot

As stated, the AK hits much harder, since all the damage stems from what caliber you are firing.

tbh a lot of the fabrication times seem kinda randomly assigned. 4 hours to craft a moosemark collimator that costs 1.9k from the shop seems wild to me, meanwhile a 556 silencer costs 2.2k and takes 30m to craft. I'd say it's because of the difference in rarity (uncommon vs common) but then you have situations like the SPAS-12 (10 minutes, uncommon rarity) vs the KS-23 (8 hours, uncommon rarity) so it's hard to tell what the metric is. I assume it's something that'll get ironed out eventually but fab times definitely feel all over the place.

Maybe it’s intentional to give credit a use?

could be. I don't mind credits having a use, I prefer buying attachments from the shop anyway, it's just weird that two similarly costed attachments have such wildly different crafting times
speaking of shotguns, the MTs 21-12 takes 30 minutes to craft, holds 5 shells and almost the exact same stats (recoil/deviation) as the SPAS-12 that takes 10 minutes to craft and holds 8 shells. so I don't think power of the bullet is the deciding factor either and both are uncommon rarity
