Khyber Pass Handmade Bolt Action AK Lookalike

/ forgottenweapons
Today we are looking at a unique rifle in the National Firearms Centre collection - at first glance it appears to be an AK in a full-length rifle cartridge, using a Bren gun magazine. A closer look will show that it is actually a bolt action rifle, and a careful inspection just makes things stranger.
The entire weapon is manufactured from scratch, not using scrounged parts. While the magazine looks like a Bren magazine and the bolt looks like a P14 Enfield, both are actually handmade. The "gas tube" is entirely decorative, and the "cleaning rod" is fake; both too short and too large in diameter to fit down the barrel. Intriguingly, the caliber of the rifle is a bit of a mystery - it is crudely marked "7MM", but the barrel is larger than 7mm in diameter. The most likely cartridges for a rifle from this area of Afghanistan or the Khyber Pass / Darra region of Pakistan would be 8mm Mauser, .303 British, or 7.62x54R - and none of these fit. It is entirely possible that the rifle is intended to be just a decoration. I would certainly not want to the the first person to try firing it...

Hey Ian, there were a couple clues for the caliber, 7mm and the fact the ( apparently ) 30 cal button would not fit the barrel. Maybe try a 7mm Mauser round ??!! Also, Yes it's crude, and may or may not work, but the abilities to do this build are amazing !

They live in tribes and after a 3000 year old tribal and Islamic codex ( pashtunwali) and they have things like revenge or honor killings this is why they produce guns.

Pakistani here. I've gotta say I'm impressed by these handmade guns. The problem here is that it's an entire illegal market who's customer think of guns as their culture, which isn't wrong of itself. The customers are mostly Pakthun many of whom migrated from Afghanistan and have settled here. Most of these people, to say bluntly, aren't educated in both school education and firearms safety, especially for others. I used to live in Peshawar years ago and my father had went out to visit a friend in his car. I believe our team won some cricket match that night and suddenly I heard gunshots from every possible direction like I was in the middle of Operation Red Storm. My dad came back with a bullet through his windshield which landed on the passenger side. Safe to say I didn't sleep that night. And I'm talking about ONE BULLET here, when I heard automatic firing consistently for more than a minute. These people have no regard for other's safety, many have died from these bullets and still are never charged with endangering others. I almost lost my father that night. Somebody probably lost their father that night. But they will never stop. The government can't stop them any way other than a full crackdown by the military which would turn the entire area into a warzone like Operation Zarb-e-Azab did to north waziristan in 2014. People used to support the Pakistan Taliban as some sort of necessary evil, but it took a mass shooting on a public school run by the military with 100+ children dead to change the public's opinion on it. Until the entire population is with the military and the government, nothing can be done about this.

This is really impressive! My ex Soviet machine shop worker uncle would have been able to pull this off. He’s a retired lathe operator at ball bearing factory in Alexandria, Romania. He’s also a full time farmer on his own property and ownes and operates heavy duty Soviet farm equipment that most consider outdated because you can’t find parts for them anymore. Several years ago, the factory he retired from purchased new modern lathes and he ended up buying the old Soviet lathe he had worked on for 45 years. He had it transported to his farm and he built a building around it and now he makes his own tractor parts. He would probably be able to crank a few of these out a week if he put his mind to it.

[@lukemarchand4183]

Do you ever wonder if the guy who made that gun has any idea what happened to it? Like, maybe he didn't know any better and genuinely did his best to make a great gun with the tools and inspiration available to him, or maybe he knew full well how ineffective it was but put in the work to make it to the best of his abilities regardless. And now this gun, made in a workshop or a humble mud home by hand over the course of months or weeks, has found its way to the armory of one of the greatest nations of the world and sits cheek-by-jowl with some of the finest and most respected firearms in history. His work of craftsmanship is now an object of fascination and study for gun enthusiasts around the world. I like to think he'd be proud of how far his work has come.

Anyone here because of MW3?

[@KamikazKid]

I'm betting the round for this was spanish 7x57 mm mauser, lots of 7mm mauser was in the region brought in from the Ottoman Empire, and it was a widely available ammo due to use by many 3rd rate nations in WW2; however, it could also be Swiss because the Swiss had involvement arming Iran prior to the Iran conflict of 1946.

[@xmm-cf5eg]

My 1893 Spanish Mauser that fires 7x57mm uses the exact same mechanism to remove the bolt from the gun, I'm pretty sure the intended caliber was 7x57mm Mauser.

[@puck-fc6yj]

I thought the same since .275 Rigby was a popular sporting cartridge in British India and that's the same as 7x57, but the case diameter of 7x57 is 12.01 mm and the case diameter of .303 British is 11.68 mm. If .303 can't fit in the chamber 7x57 can't either.

[@KamikazKid]

Well the .303 probably can't fit in the chamber due to the larger bullet diameter not the case diameter. The .303 bullet diameter is 7.92 mm while 7x57 Mauser is smaller at 7.24 mm.

[@tarnvedra9952]

Also CZ Brno made a lot of hunting rifles in 7x57 mm, and former Czechoslovakia had good relations with Pakistan and exported lot of stuff there.

Or maybe it's all a ruse. Meant to just look like an AK from a distance so maybe some bad people would think twice about messing around. And if absolutely necessary a round could be fired as a warning shot...maybe a possibility idk

[@JessePorter]

But again, why? If you're going to go to all that trouble & do that well of a job, why wouldn't they just make an AK?

[@Elenrai]

@@JessePorter Does the mechanism on a fully automatic weapon/self loader not require some basic understanding of gas pressure/precision metal working to make it able to work? Easier to just make a percussion cap "cannon/musket" innit?

[@JessePorter]

@@Elenrai Well, first of all, we're not really talking about a select-fire AK, but a semi-auto AK. Second, I would argue that someone with those kinds of weapon-making skills would probably have the understanding of which you are speaking.

[@Elenrai]

@@JessePorter The gun in the video is bolt action tho? I meant that the creator of the rifle might not have had the necessary understanding of guns to make the whole self loading mechanism, but effectively making a musket/hand cannon is something you can teach a child, thus I suggest that the reason they do not simply make an AK is because the technical understanding of firearms required to make a self loading rifle of any kind might not have been possible. Just take world war 2 major powers, and consider how much of a nightmare it were for Germany for instance, to actually make a reliable self loading rifle despite highly educated engineers and dedicated guns. Another reason that they might not want the thing to be full auto is the Sten gun and its uh...temperamental nature, if they have had those things lying around for a while they might have figured out that home made automatic firearms were too dangerous to have.

[@JessePorter]

Only people who don't understand guns & the legality surrounding self-defense laws would speak about warning shots as a reality.
