Early Prototypes & The First AK-47s - AK History Part I

[@ScreamAndFly]

One of the best AK content channels. I like that you get to the facts - no silly music, animations, etc. just the good stuff.

[@yuribartieniev8364]

Misha, your gun channel is like ASMR (Autonomous sensory meridian response) for gun enthusiasts.

[@yuribartieniev8364]

Woodruff You're welcome. Glad that I could help you, brother. Also thanks for the good work, Misha.

[@KI.765]

I've noticed this as well, not sure what it is.

[@panamared3681]

I watch Misha’s videos to fall asleep almost daily.

[@ChristofHarper]

You got me hooked. Now I've got to watch it all. I recall Ian (forgotten weapons) was talking about the experiences of the Winter War being a huge spur for the Russians liking the submachinegun, too.

[@kentuck1387]

Is Firing line workmanship quality ??? In your option

[@ChristofHarper]

not sure what you are referring to (forum, website, fishing archery...)

[@jamesregan2181]

I have been interested in military style firearms my whole life. Your videos are very interesting and informative. We appreciate your efforts to inform and entertain. Thank you

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you, and glad you liked the video.

[@lavida57]

I'm new to falling for the AK. But your videos are thr gold standard. How you do these long detailed videos off the top of your head is really something to be admired. Thank you for my education and planning my first AK soon.

[@Scorpiuszeroone]

Every day is a great day to talk about AKs.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Agreed

[@ripturha3867]

I love how camera man is trying to film cat much as possible 🤣🥰

[@briandavenport8971]

Long, boring and dry and it never seemed to end... I absolutely loved it. You’re literally an encyclopedia of AK history.

[@corsair371]

The way should be 😎

[@Mak-Daddy]

Love these videos. Keep up the wonderful work, Misha

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you

[@MattN47]

What a wealth of information you are! Thank you so much!

[@johnp9402]

This man's knowledge is encyclopedic. Really impressive

[@uperrsc]

Misha, thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge. Love your vids. If I lived closer I’d definitely shop in your store. Keep up the great work!

[@AKMer47]

Misha is a national treasure.

[@mrstampercn]

Exactly

[@tishared5160]

Hi Misha. Probably the best AK's review I have seen so far . Thanks!

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you much, glad you liked it.

[@TaZ101SAGA]

Excellent information, thank you both for your time !

[@ElTejon47901]

Good to hear about Mike at The Firing Line!

[@backyardboosters9128]

Love the videos. I'm a bit of a history nerd, it would be very cool if possible to get into a little more details about the competitors with the Kalashnikov.

[@egmjag]

Professor emeritus Misha! I can picture in my mind's eye Misha teaching Russian exchange students at they sit in awe of his knowledge.

[@jayjay67shelby]

Excellent as always. I can hardly wait for the next installment. Thank you.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you for watching. Right now the series is up to 5 parts. Not sure if it will go longer or not yet.

[@marktbiliski4297]

Misha, u r a walking encyclopedia of ak s !! Thank you for your videos brother!! And God bless you you and your family!!!

[@jamieclement3942]

Great history, ASMR and Chairman Cat approved. Who could ask for more?

[@mesa50w]

Misha you and J are the best ! Thank you for all your knowledge you share with us

[@InugamiTheHound]

I wonder what Sudayev thinks of his PPSh submachine guns, Tokarev with his SVT-40 and TT-33 pistol, Simonov with his SKS and Kalashnikov with his AK-47??

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Probably not much, all dead. So hopefully resting peacefully.

[@georgebach9530]

Another great history lesson ! Thanks very much !

[@ChristofferKeizer]

Great video, Thanks!

[@kevloo6078]

Thanks guys. Another great review. These are always very informative. PS. I like that dang ol cat.

[@James-ci2ip]

Misha been watching your videos for a year and still lovin em now! Loved your AK videos, so much great in-depth info that you just don't get to hear on other videos! Keep up the good work from the UK, hopefully our laws change soon so we can have as much fun as you guys in the States lol God bless America!!!

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you much, cheers.

[@toki89666]

45:34 "starin' down the barr-el of a fooour-tyyyy seven"

[@zheka1780]

Misha pls do a review on a Margolin pistol. I think it might be symbolic for you

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Sorry, I don't own a Margolin. I collect mostly military type guns. I don't have any target .22s. In fact, the only .22 LR I own is the Israeli pilot's AR7. Also have a .22 Short revolver from NAA that was a birthday gift.

[@zheka1780]

but the story about Margolin is fascinating IMO If you can get a hold on one of 'em

[@Spike-13]

Thanks for all your knowledge!

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you for watching.

[@benjaminkeepfer8968]

Really cool overview. I think the only country you forgot was the NK Type 58.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thanks, and since I have no 1st hand experience with the NK AK, I didn't really want to talk about it. Forgotten Weapons has a neat video on it though.

[@COlson-rh3dg]

This guy should have way more views.

[@redfirekla]

Man you have some amazing AK collections really nice videos.

[@toki89666]

So did the Type III still have the screw-in barrel of previous models?

[@jamescarter4175]

Very interesting. Thank you.

[@glenngamboa9224]

Wow that's my B Day Too! 👍👍

[@chrischiampo7647]

Thanks Misha 😀😊👍🏼

[@adam3651]

What was the reason why milled receivers had a sloped angle to the stock?

[@mckenziesmall6275]

Adam It was probably just part of the original design, the change in the AKM stock was to reduce recoil.

[@todd2048]

I believe Jimmy Streetman from Global Trades from Texas imported screw in receivers in the late 1990s not many a couple hundred before he brought in the new style Bulgarian receivers he also brought in milled 5.56 receivers he turned into milled 5.56 AKs with 74 fsb and compensator. Jimmy and a guy known as Finnbear who was a legend at impoting Russian goods Estonian AK laminate sets and 74 sets and all types of mags you couldn't get back then he was a great guy a shame he passed away he was a good friend I still miss his talks great guy.

[@todd2048]

I believe Gordon tech was the company that had assembled those guns back then they were the early milled kit guns assembled for Global trades I loved their 3x page photo copy blue paper catalog printed on both side of the paper all types of goodies on that catalog.

[@matejmatej3554]

Awesome video and just admit Yugoslavian AK is the sexiest just because my country Slovenia was used to be a part of Yugoslavia hahaha and we were never in the Soviet Union just like you said and you were right we weren't the biggest Russian allies what else can I say both thumbs up for me greetings from my beautiful country of Slovenia have a nice day I wish you all the luck

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you for watching. Tito was really the only Communist dictator that wasn't setup by Stalin after WWII. He obtained his power mostly on his own, thus Yugoslavia was always a bit apart and a bit more independent compared with other Soviet client states. In a lot of ways, it just did its own thing.

[@andrewbeuch7484]

Yes Please!!!!!!!

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

What? more tea?

[@corsair371]

You need a better camera Nice collection you have 😎💥💥💥💥💥

[@ronaldrainero5579]

Love this guy

[@zoggy2]

Cat approved.

[@Vidar_Odinson]

Such a pretty cat!

[@이동연-c6d]

Can you review the hmg stg 44?

[@toki89666]

Almost 2021 and they STILL don't yet exist. Smh

[@poopoo7705]

Late 2022 and still nothing from HMG

[@iq_-i-l3655]

What do you rate firing line receivers? On durability and longevity?

[@JoeyP322]

I wish I would've bought an SVT40 when they were plentiful and cheap...

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Yeah, unfortunately most surplus is like that.

[@kamikazesoviet]

Real fun guns to shoot man... DK if you're in Canadia or not, but I got mine here for 280$Can. It's a loud and fun piece of history to play with =)

[@JoeyP322]

Eric Channer $280??? God I hate you !! JK -

[@stansmith4054]

Question for you. I am a braille transcriber who is also an AK collector. I have a VI student who always wanted to fire a real AK. Any advice? I would like to show him the weapon one day. Also, in your opinion, is the AK 74 superior over the AK 47?

[@itsKNR]

Great Video. I heared it while going to sleep. I love the very simple AK deisgn. I pretty mucu love every Russian Weapon. Because they are mostpy built like a Tank and are pretty Reliable.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you for watching, cheers.

[@coppersandwich]

How about AK-46?

[@beaublackford3697]

That’s one old ass refrigerator haha haven’t seen one since I was a kid haha the guns were interesting too haha

[@ChrisUrsiny]

excellent video, thanks for the good info!!! btw you have a nice and well behaved cat, if the cat was a jerk it would have found some way to push the rifles off the table.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thanks for watching. I think my cats know that if they ever knock over a rifle and damage it, they'd find themselves living the outdoor life within 5 minutes.

[@ericvantassell6809]

Best cat bomb ever @,35:16

[@waleedfatahi5712]

I'm not sure if you covered the north Korean type58

[@wrightconnection2204]

Man I like that Russian AK! The furniture looks awesome, my favorite color. It looks so bad ass! Iron sights and a sling, period. One of the most beautiful AKs I've seen. You are a walking encyclopedia when it comes to AK's head and shoulders above most of the videos I've seen posted on You Tube. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Thank you much for watching.

[@DarkWizard83]

Kitteh should be your co-host in all videos.

[@MishacoOBA]

He tries to be, trust me lol

[@fikri1458]

Wooow like ak 💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Punisher9419]

People like video's because people like to listen to people's voices. You can do other things while watching a video like eating or relaxing in bed.

[@ozarkbeararms8840]

Personally, I listen to videos while packing guns to go out the next day.
