There's no way I'm watching a guy in surplus camo with a gear complex tell me about a gun for 30 minutes.

How about an old guy with a gear complex?

Old guy and new guy with complexes with the TP9. Everyone has complexes. But they've reviewed pretty much every gun mentioned here at some point.

Wassat lassie? 7,62x39 direct impingement rifle?

Surprised myself. Everyone was doing short stroke pistons lately and It's odd that they went DI with a lower pressure round like the 7.62x39. You can see the gas port through the keymod and how they had to set it back pretty far just to have enough gas to cycle.

CMMG modified an AR-10 bolt and BCG. Gas system looks just like carbine length to me. http://www.cmmginc.com/product_p/76afc3e.htm

He's apparently on activity duty. There's a lot of good info, but he definitely rambles a lot. Video could be 20 minutes shorter if he would script what he says.

I am more skeptical on ammo quality tbh.

Am going to agree with Razor. 7.62 NEEDS to be designed to run the cheap surplus stuff. Ruger Mini-30 is a pistol & only likes SAAMI ammo.

Yeah per my research he's an airforce officer of some sort, possibly pilot (which let's be honest hardly qualifies for weapons expertise). It still doesn't excuse being in deployment pattern uniforms with a shit load of gear like that, but each to his own.

[OrangeAfroMan]

He was probably doing a multi day trip.

Either way, who would you rather have reviewing gear: someone who lives and breathes gear and puts a huge variety of it through its paces irl or someone who buys gear and fondles it in his mothers basement?

[Soapy5]

Also this (CMMG MK47) is neat:

Going about it all wrong

Start with an AK, mod to allow straight in mag insertion (ala vepr)



have a secure top rail on the dust cover, something like this minus the heavy railed handguard:




Add the AK-12's folding, telescoping stock if that floats your boat (i just prefer fixed stocks).

Add Bolt hold open device to use with yugo mags (or just buy a bunch of these http://www.primaryarms.com/WeaponTec...p/afwtakf3.htm)

Get rid of that stupid safety and put in an ar-15 type safety.

Add a non-reciprocating charging handle, like this (but minus the $200 price tag, lawl wtf):



or something like the RCS (but retaining atleast part of the upper handguard so you are not touching metal):



voila

[RazoR]

all of the bads




And what afroman said.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Or


Buy an AR that has all of those features built in and get a 300 Blackout barrel of you want 7.62mm

Nope, AK's in freedomland have an altered sear. Now it just means glorious comrades in Russia lose out on work.

It's not like everyone and their son were making unlicensed copies since the dissolution.

Just remembered that importing receivers was banned some time in the 90's. Basically the guy in the article decided to start manufacturing the rest if the rifle. There is another company that has been doing that for about 15 years now. The cost of importing parts has increased over the years to the point that national manufacture makes sense. I forget the name of the company but there has been 100% US made AKs being sold for about ten years or so.

Was just about to post that.

Quite entertaining, just what the U.S. needs most, a bagful of AK's floating round the streets.

[CastleBravo]

Hasn't Molot been making AR-15s for a few years now? The "Russian cultural victory" equivalent to that would be AKs built by Colt.

[RazoR]

Yeah the demand is overwhelming.

had half an hour to kill in town, went into IWM North (excellent btw, check it out if you're near) and took some snaps on my potato. was a bit rushed for time, so name as many as you can because I didn't really take the time to remember the obscure ones.
