    Hey bud. Here in Arkansas razorback town there is actually an issue with Ferrell razorback outside town in the Ozarks down to Texas destroying fields and farms. So I'm thinking of getting into hog hunting. Them hogs got some tough skin you know. And they might be a hundred in a pack or herd whatever it's called. I'm looking at the General Electric GAU-8 Avenger huntin rifle. Maybe mount it in my 97 4 cylinder Ford ranger pick up truck bed. So we can go pig sooiee razorback huntin at night. You think we could bring some pork chops home with that? God I love pork chops on the grill. Would depleted uranium contaminate the meet you think? Maybe I should go with incideraries so the meat is pre cooked for me. Whacha think?

      @@ChrisFromThe740 wow thank you buddy! My comment got pinned! Best christmas present! OK tied with Mouse man cause he surprised me and sent card and sticker I got yesterday. I wasnt expecting anything from anyone. Now I feel like I dropped the ball and shouldve sent cards to all my favorite you tubers. Thank you for all your videos and hard work. I watch mostly repair videos trying to learn more for my Biz. or history videos. Had to drop out of 9th to work after dad left. more on that on my bathroom vanity post commentary if you wish to read. taught me wood working and tools real young but beat me nightly cause i was never good enough. thanks for your great videos and hard work. I would like to do videos on 2a devices but youtube keeps giving me strikes, yt deleted all my past 2a device videos. i cant even say the 3 letter word describing them in a comment on any video without comment deleted and 24 hr ban. 3 bans last week.

      Thank you so much Gort I am super happy with it. I found a threading kit so I think I am going to go ahead and attempt threading it myself. I think I am going to like it a lot more once I get a brake on it

  • @ChristianGrest
    @ChristianGrest Місяць тому +1

    That thing is just plain awesome! I really like how you made it your own… much different than the majority of AKs out there, no doubt about that. AKs are so reliable, but not so ergonomic. With the modernization you did, makes a world of difference. Don’t get me wrong, I love my classic AKs, but there’s just something about one setup for the modern day.
    Sucks about the trigger pins walking, but glad you were able to rectify it there rather than having to make another trip.
    You’re gonna love the KNS piston setup! Run those on a couple of mine… can make them run super smooth. As for the barrel, you should be able to get it threaded from what I can see.
    Awesome job brother! Welcome to the AK side of things 😊

    • @ChrisFromThe740

      Thank you so much Brother and I really appreciate you telling me about the KNS system. I am going to get a hold of you after the holidays and have you help me order the correct one if that is ok with you. My buddy Warsaw just sent me a link for the threading kit so I think I am just going to do it myself. I really appreciate you stopping by and I will talk to you soon

    • @ChristianGrest
      @ChristianGrest Місяць тому +1

      @ absolutely! Be happy to help in any way I can. As far as re threading… it’s actually better that we do it here anyways because often times AKs threaded overseas aren’t concentric and need to be fixed to run a can safely. Had to do this with my Draco AK.

    And one more thing. After magazine is empty, try to first detach it and then rack it couple of times. That's a more safe subconscious memory skill to have.
