About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this KZbin channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

[@Rixoli]

@@bardedkgaming2529 If you look at Lee Enfield and Lee Metford rifles before and during the early years of WW1 they had the same idea with a 'volley sight' on the side of the rifle. You would use the front 'dial' to elevate the rifle to an approximate range and the rear peep sight to see through. The idea was that before belt-fed MGs you still wanted your troops to be able to lay a field of suppressing fire even if it was beyond the normal range your average rifleman might fire at. In principle it was similar to archers firing volleys of arrows in a beaten area, are all the projectiles going to find their mark? of course not, but if even a dozen out of a formation of 100+ men standing on line managed to hit their mark, that would still be perfectly acceptable at 2,000 meters.

[@bibliophile81]

For anyone with a Mosin that has a hard to cycle bolt: sometimes it's cosmoline on the receiver lugs that you can't see. Fire a few rounds, cosmo gets hot, bolt is harder to cycle. The tip for that: take a shotgun bore brush, put it on a segment of cleaning rod without the handle on the end. Dip the bore brush in Hoppes, stick it into the receiver where the lugs are, and then chuck the cleaning rod into an electric drill and run it for 10 seconds. Clean the dried cosmoline out and the bolt won't stick nearly as bad after you fire a few rounds. Or maybe it will, wartime production stuff isn't known for high quality and your receiver and bolt lugs may not mate up well.

@@agoogleaccount2861 If your MN has rimlock you have a mechanical problem in the magazine. Take a look....there should be a little spring on the side that holds the cartridge under the one being fed so it's not pushing up hard against it which allows the top round to slide off without rimlock. When the bolt goes into battery this little spring is pushed back to release that round so it'll feed next then when the bolt is opened it grabs the next round...repeat. The cartridge rim is also angled to help prevent them binding together. I wish we had a class on how to run a bolt gun...not your fault Brandon...you're young, but in words: With open hand and palm facing up, smack bolt open with heel of hand, then cup hand around bolt and pull to rear. Turn hand around again with open hand shove bolt home and down to lock. No...'grab bolt knobbie with fingers thing. Try it...you'll like it!!

Fun fact: for those not tracking, the large graduation on the iron sites was for (or a left over of) volley fire drills

[@BlackBladeGroM]

Yes. Back in 1894 trench warfare and machineguns weren't a thing yet, and a platoon of riflemen volley-firing _approximately that way_ was SOP for suppressive fire.

As someone who doesn't shoot for a living you need a non shooter to show that there is in fact recoil for the guns you shoot.

[@grimerime23]

as someone who "rarely" shoots... almost ever... (shot my first gun at 3 but have had years between shooting) recoil ain't that bad, like, at all... (of course depending on the caliber) recoil is more like a "thump" than a punch. of course it fucks up your sight picture, but as far as worrying for your shoulder... I wouldn't.

[@jaythus3181]

7.62 x 54R is around .308 win, the recoil isn't that bad at all even if you are a new shooter. Probably shouldn't be the first round you ever fire but there is worse. Even at 6'0 155 lbs and a regular (once every few months) the recoil is almost negligible on intermediate rifle cartridges like this. Youll have maybe 3 inches of muzzle rise at max if you're my size or better and have some concept of recoil control. Granted I also shoot 300 win mag and feel as though it has less recoil than most people state so i may be an exception.

[@vidadr]

Put the buttstock firmly into your shoulder, and stand firm with a forward lean. A gun's recoil just feels like a light love tap from the spirit of American freedom.

[@huebuckle8198]

[@NavyGuy2OO7]

I have a 1943 Mosin that I'm pretty sure was a PU that was converted post war, there's a few signs that it was, but I'm not willing to have the receiver drilled and tapped to mount the scope. I love the rifle, such a sweet shooting gun.

[@bananabus6944]

I personally love the mosin its a must have for me its a part of history and it actually is pretty good

[@Ramblinmanmarv]

The scope could be original to the gun. They were made in different factories and thus would have different serial numbers. I had the same thought when i bought my sniper. One way to find out if it was original or not is to look up the scopes serial number. If it was built in the same year as the rifle it will show that. And thus would technically be "Original" to the rifle.
