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!

I've had my JTS for almost 2 years and put about 500+ rounds of mostly 00 buck and slug. I have to say that I did some modification to the gun as I tried to improve the gas system with some polishing and deburring of the puck etc. Also, I've replace the forend with a heavily modified Magpul Zhukov and the Ace adapter plate that was once available for the gun. Used a Tom Cole conversion choke tube to thread on a Saiga compatible brake and it shoots great. I am keeping an eye on the bolt for wear, but so far so good. Also I highly recommend CSSPECs mags that they make for this. Steel, feeds well and most importantly, securely locks into the gun.

Reading through some of the other comments and now this one, I think Bran just got a dud Saiga. So much vocal support for this gun despite it's budget build, which says to me either Bran has a broken gun there; or he's loaded it incorrectly (which seems very unlikely). But it's great to see that most people are happy with it, at the end of the day - if you need a gun you want it to work when it's tasked. It might be missing a birdshot, it might be saving a life. Whatever the scenario you don't want awkward chamber rubix cubes to contend with! So happy to see 90% of people not seeing these issues. Someone should take their working one up to him, and revisit it on another video !

I've had my jts for a good bit and I absolutely love it! You just kind of have to find the right gas setting and you definitely have to break these suckers in, but once you do break them in they run flawlessly! I haven't had FTF or FTE in ages with mine! Could be that quality control is just not that great so some of the guns aren't as good as others oh, I may have just gotten lucky and got a good gun but I have never had any issues with mine even during the break-in. One thing I have noticed as that if you change to different types of shells you need to know the gas system pretty well so you can adjust it for what you're shooting at the time, but I really like that feature so you can throw any kind of ammo in it and it will run everything. It seems that there were best AK design really works well with this firearm for reliability. Now I have heard that the shotguns don't like low brass shells but then again I have fired several different brands of low brass out of mine and not had a failure to feed or failure to extract even with low brass. I think I paid around $430 with tax included for my jts and it was worth every penny in my book! Maybe try to just put some more ammo through it and it may start to work better.

Now we need to see you review the Vepr-12. That thing is like the luxury version of the AK shotguns. No need to adjust gas ports, Krinkov style dust cover on a hinge, bolt hold open, a very solid folding stock, rpk style adjustable sights for slugs, and it's actually made in Russia.

[@user-pq5cn2gq5b]

Is it Luxury? Here it goes for like 750$ and it isn't even the best price

[@vash_the_stampede6570]

What was the name of the Shotgun Variant of the AK-12 in battlefield 4? Cuz that is what I'm thinking of or the Vepr from cod ghost

[@Seph491]

It’s a luxury when compared to the Saiga 12’s that got imported into the states. The saiga’s all had hunting stocks and no pistol grips. People had to do conversions on them to move the trigger and accept normal AK furniture. Meanwhile the Vepr 12 already is set up without and conversion work out of the box plus it’s built on a beefier RPK receiver. So compared to the state of imported saiga 12s I’d say the Vepr is the luxury model ak shotgun.

Never seen this style run reliably without having to be tuned to a specific load. That goes for 30/40 3 Gun matches across several counties and all kinds of money being spent on these things.

Jesus people why are you buying Chinese gun. Everything they produce over there is garbage and they have sm@ll dangles.

[@michaelturk7237]

Gonna go full boomer here and say that magazine-fed shotguns are just a bad idea in general. Tube magazine shotguns have worked as a reliable and agile platform for over a century now, and running almost anything rimmed that isn't .22LR out of a mag is just asking for double-feeds and rimlock. Game won't need 10 shells, and armed intruders might need more. Just run a +1 extended tube and side saddle and git gud with tac reloading, or get an actual rifle in an intermediate caliber with a standard capacity detachable magazine. Mating the two is just the worst of both worlds in my opinion.

[@xavierdiaz3118]

Just fixed mine today. Thought I might've wasted my money until I figured out what was wrong with it. It's actually a pretty decent gun tbh. You need to clean the garbage and crap out of it that the manufacturers left in it. Changing the gas setting alone, will not fix this problem. Sorry you had a bad experience with it Brandon!

I own the T-1 model of this semi auto and it’s been plenty reliable. Everyone else on YT has made sure to mention to break it in with high brass and over 1300fps rounds. That may explain the feed and cycle issues. Mine was a little tight first few cycles.

[@inthewoods3237]

I worked with my T-1 and smoothed out everything, worked the action a couple thousand times(as I knew I would have to) and it shoots everything except “ultra light” loads. As for not hitting anything? Guess he can’t shoot????

[@mcgusto5123]

I mean he’s clearly using standard 00 buck which aren’t high brass and probably somewhere around 1200fps. Anything is going to not cycle if it’s factory new and using ammo that isn’t going to put out the force necessary to cycle it.
