The Top 6 AKs I Under Estimated (Kalashnikovs That Changed My Mind)

I’ve loved this channel for a while. A few months ago I had an awful motorcycle accident! Broke several bones, had a brain injury, and ruined my memory. I’m so glad I rediscovered this channel! Keep it up bro

[@АлакПатрова]

Wishing you the best and fastest recovery my dude. Im laid up from a skim graft surgery myself.

[@UncleSam-7.62]

You should wear a Helmet buddy. 😁

[@-jimmyjames]

oh man. Glad your recovering! I quit riding a couple yrs after i moved to Austin TX area almost 20 yrs ago. Fun fast cars is where it's at now. Austin tx was a motorcyclist nightmare for safety. bad drivers that kill riders and always say "I never saw him". I'm a advanced and super defensive rider/driver and still got the heeebie jeeebies daily n centex. sold my bikes and bought fast cars. Be safe and glad your still w us Brother...

100% agree with you on this list, especially the last one. I got one of the type 68 Asian contract kits last year and I built it on a childlers receiver I affectionately refer to it as my trash can stick and considering I work on a ranch and most of my time is spent on horseback or four-wheeler having a handy little folding carbine that weighs next to nothing is extremely handy. I love that little gun. I've killed many of coyotes with it

Misha, Thank you Sooo much, for your knowledge, your style, your delivery ! I noticed on your rack , a couple of Ak’s with red furniture . I’m a big fan of All with this furniture. Any chance of a video looking at these ?I. Know that I would love it !

[@O8V2a1]

Somehow, I'm still pondering ways to shoehorn a 556 AK into an AKS-74 build, with triangle stock and faux bakelite mags (black, painted orange).

[@Bill-mj8hf]

18:22 sir how do you tilt the mag in/out with the forearm grip so far back?? Does it do??

[@Bill-mj8hf]

Now that I think I see that the angle of the grip gives it probably just enough space to clear the 30s. 🤔

[@mikeyjohnson9596]

Love the video as always Misha. If you like, I'll email you and tell you about my good friend's trip to what constitutes FEG these days. He and his family live in Szentendre on the Danube and they've been a couple of times.

Say what you want about cast, I love my jra 1966 circle 11 akm. I love looking at tooling marks on trunnions. I wish my pmk was more original. A guy had one on gunbroker and was asking 5 grande for it. I bought mine for 1200. Milled guns are a interesting, especially type 3 guns…

I bought a PSA Soviet Arms spiker. I have a dozen different magazines, only half of them fit. Anyone have thoughts on this. Any information is helpful. Thanks everyone.

[@misha5670]

Please don't take this in the wrong way, but its a non-milspec receiver...not even close to AKM or T56 standard. What I've noticed US makers do is pattern their mag wells around only a couple types of mag, and they are so afraid of having 'wobble' that they make things as tight as possible. They flip side to that is yep, mag compatability. You might look at your mag catch, see if perhaps you can remove some material there, and if so would it help?

[@justanothergunnerd8128]

Mr. Misha, I definitely want to to hear your "over-gassed" comments! I have strong feelings on this issue as well, and I bet we are on the same page. 🙂

[@misha5670]

They were the 'cheap' guns when i got most of them back when.

[@Skilpadjie1]

Norinco Type 56

[@77klinok]

The metal is always first being cast, and then to strengthen it would require forging. Without forging it is weak, and will not withstand the pressures even of the medium calibre cartridge for long. So, no, just cast trunnion will not last. Metal quality and composition and proper forging process is a key, not just any forging, and not just any steel.

[@misha5670]

the process is investment casting vs more traditional forging/machining.

[@77klinok]

“Investment casting” is just a fancy name for a casting process variation. The gun parts that experience the most stress and pressure will not hold if they are made from casting. They need additional strengthening by forging, or rolling.

[@misha5670]

@@77klinok Doesn't change the simple fact that the USSR used casting to make parts like the gasblock, front sight base, rear trunnion, and even the bolt carrier.

[@77klinok]

I am sorry, but you don’t understand metallurgy. First part of the production of metal is casting. For those critical parts the forging, and later perhaps the rolling, as it is cheaper, was done on the casted metal, then it was cut and milled to the final shape. That’s how most machines parts that need strength and resilience are made.

[@comradeyuri8492]

I've been watching Mishaco's videos for many years. That said, I've found them informative, but overly long, so I've learned to skip ahead. Just me, others may think differently ?

[@stoegerstewie8351]

Never skip, only pause.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Skip ahead to where? You're skipping past all of Mishaco's golden knowledge. Whats the point of skipping?

[@misha5670]

If you think they are long to watch, just imagine how long they take to to make? lol That said, I agree. I wish they were 10 minutes. The problem I run into is, what would I cut out? This video features 6 AKs and is 36 minutes long. Taking the time out for intro, outro and such, that leaves about 5 minutes on each gun. Any less and i just don't see what good it would be? No meat on that there bone otherwise.
