This guy really is AK Jesus, cause he just preformed a miracle. Holy crap I didn’t think this comment would get this many likes, thanks a million for that folks.
you always hear brandon say "yah i just got Zach to turn me up a new barrel" and we dont think much of it but this is the shit hes actually dealing with
I suspect at some point the process of reviving the gun involved a slab, a lightning rod, and Brandon standing by a knife switch screaming "FOR KALASHNIKOV!"
A lot of the problems on the Krink are very common mistakes for first time machine shop students. I know from experience as I have made similar mistakes back when I was in school. For example the guy didn't change out the grinding wheel which caused grinding marks on the part. And the barrel not being completely concentric is caused by not properly holding onto the part on lathe.
Back when I was in Machine Shop class I had a classmate who was in the semester before me broke the 8 inch diameter grinding and he had to spend the entire day redressing the wheel. Grinding wheels are no joke if you were to screw up badly.
Same as the guy who built up a load of “Tippo 2” Garands here in Canada for a certain infamous distributor (quotations because they were commercially rebuilt surplus Danish Garands, not Italian or 7.62, they were just modified and represented that way to increase the price that could be charged).

Yes as a UA-cam user i am happy for this gun owner for getting his AK fixed by pros and i wish i was a owner of beautyful AK like that but in my country Sweden it is forbidden for civilians to own military hardware like AK only criminals in Sweden has those for breaking the Swedish weapon laws so ordinary people like myself we run home and lock our doors and Windows when criminals uses their AK variations and many Swedish natives wish they had AK like Americans has in United States Of America.

What is great about the gun community and one of the reasons it’s the best community out there. We have all had fucked up builds or ideas that just didn’t work. And whether it’s a forum a comment section or Reddit even people like helping other enthusiasts out. Great community
Brandon, it’s good to see people helping one another in the 2A community philanthropically not just for personal gain. Thanks for showing some leadership and following through.
Coming from a country that hates gun owners (Australia) I have learned to love the AK47 through your channel. As a kid I used to shoot 303's, M1 Carbines and semi automatic 22s i n Australia before the gun ban. Thanks for keeping my love of firearms burning in a representative gun culture caused by government. My wish list now is to fire an AK of any kind.
Yeah, the Australian gun laws are Next level. I did all my shooting post ban, but my Dad worked for the department of agriculture, and so we had access to a pretty massive arsenal, and a requirement and ammo budget to be proficient in their use. even access to the really restricted stuff like semi-auto rifles and 12 gauges. I quickly became a better shot than him, and so got subcontracted any time he needed to do any shooting. tough gig. I think its pretty sad 99.9% of my peers would have no idea how to butcher anything, let alone cure a skin. meat comes from a polystyrene tray, right? for years we had to hide our afternoon adventures from my mum, because guns are bad. but Ive some excellent memories of sitting by a creek with my Dad, a few bacon wrapped rabbits on a spit. and as time went on, we were allowed to actually use the kitchen, and I got a pretty dab hand at doing rabbit up for the pot. Thai green curry defiantly was the family favourite, the coconut milk really works with the lean meat, but I also got a few good recipes from my Gran, who was delighted that rabbit was on the menu and more than happy to show me how its done. "Better in the pot than in the paddock", wise woman. I've tried to bag Bunnies with a bow, but the little shits are just to twitchy. I'll own land soon enough, so I can get a legit licence, but I work in the city. oh well, patience.
Watch as the majestic Herrera rehabilitates this poor ak back too life. Through a mythotical approach, the young ak springs too life singing the song of it's people. If one listens carefully and close, they can hear the sounds of stills making vodka, pissed off bears screaming and boba yaga keeping the village in line.

And thus saith AK Jesus, "It is made whole though my sweat and my drill press."
ah, I suspected this was coming, but I didn't let myself believe it was real....
Yes as a UA-cam user i am happy for this gun owner for getting his AK fixed by pros and i wish i was a owner of beautyful AK like that but in my country Sweden it is forbidden for civilians to own military hardware like AK only criminals in Sweden has those for breaking the Swedish weapon laws so ordinary people like myself we run home and lock our doors and Windows when criminals uses their AK variations and many Swedish natives wish they had AK like Americans has in United States Of America.
"If you don't know why thats important, ask your girlfriend" Brandon why must you hurt me in this way
Now all that needs to happen is Ian making a reaction to *this* video, thus closing the cycle and finally breaking the curse once and for all.
As a Russian, I feel it's pretty much my obligation to thank you for saving this poor gun. It's great to see it live again.
Yes! I tagged Ian in your video and commented on his video saying you offered to fix it at your own expense! I AM SOOO GLAD THIS HAPPENED! I hope I was able to bridge the gap for you two!
I'm a simple guy I see a Brandon's notification,I click on it.
“Omg it’s happening, ok everybody stay calm”
This is single-handedly the greatest thing that has ever happened since the invention of the wheel
I’ve actually never seen one of these girls run before, and even as a AR-15 guy. This 74 was quite Beautiful to see run, and run like god intended her to run
Bidens and the Traito-I mean liberals worst nightmare,a full auto badass stopping machine.
Ask the army guys in nam who had to face them....wait, you can’t cuz the AK 47 pattern rifles shoot at every pull.
Mikhail can rest in peace now thanks to you and your team's hard work.
I'm seeing a series here:
"Hi, I'm Brandon Herrera. Welcome to Pimp my Gun."
I love the "Ha No" taped on the gun when disassembled
Great to see a follow up and even greater to see now it shoots bullets and not gas blocks.
Gun Jesus had a little help from his disciples this time, but still managed to work up a resurrection on that poor AK.
Remember, none are beyond redemption.
Praise be.

Now Ian has to react to this video. It's just how youtube works.
Its be interesting to see you, garand thumb, and the one and only Ian make a video together.
Ak daddy, flannel daddy, and gun jesus, name a more iconic trio. I'll wait.
Every time I hear "gun explode" I can't help seeing scott getting surbu slapped. Get well soon scott
Yeah man it's scary
Yeah true
At least it wouldn't fuck you up as bad as that serbu did to him
The trade marked Serbu slap
Hey bro is back in the saddle! And he has cool scars and new merch and memes!
Now we need a video of Ian seeing this gun again for the perfect saga
3:00 "it's fine, whatever" sounding like "I'm trying not to think about this too much"
What is great about the gun community and one of the reasons it’s the best community out there. We have all had fucked up builds or ideas that just didn’t work. And whether it’s a forum a comment section or Reddit even people like helping other enthusiasts out. Great community
Brandon, it’s good to see people helping one another in the 2A community philanthropically not just for personal gain. Thanks for showing some leadership and following through.
"She's better now"
Mah heart, mah sole.
Mad respect for fixing a bad thing instead of only pointing out why it is bad. We need more people of action these days
Coming from a country that hates gun owners (Australia) I have learned to love the AK47 through your channel.
As a kid I used to shoot 303's, M1 Carbines and semi automatic 22s i n Australia before the gun ban. Thanks for keeping my love of firearms burning in a representative gun culture caused by government. My wish list now is to fire an AK of any kind.
Yeah, the Australian gun laws are Next level. I did all my shooting post ban, but my Dad worked for the department of agriculture, and so we had access to a pretty massive arsenal, and a requirement and ammo budget to be proficient in their use. even access to the really restricted stuff like semi-auto rifles and 12 gauges. I quickly became a better shot than him, and so got subcontracted any time he needed to do any shooting. tough gig. I think its pretty sad 99.9% of my peers would have no idea how to butcher anything, let alone cure a skin. meat comes from a polystyrene tray, right? for years we had to hide our afternoon adventures from my mum, because guns are bad. but Ive some excellent memories of sitting by a creek with my Dad, a few bacon wrapped rabbits on a spit. and as time went on, we were allowed to actually use the kitchen, and I got a pretty dab hand at doing rabbit up for the pot. Thai green curry defiantly was the family favourite, the coconut milk really works with the lean meat, but I also got a few good recipes from my Gran, who was delighted that rabbit was on the menu and more than happy to show me how its done. "Better in the pot than in the paddock", wise woman. I've tried to bag Bunnies with a bow, but the little shits are just to twitchy. I'll own land soon enough, so I can get a legit licence, but I work in the city. oh well, patience.
I heard that Gel Blaster came up with an AK variant...
Aaand they're banned! Please make way for the next customer! Have a nice day!
Now Ian has to make a video with Brandon when the AK-50 is done.
This was a selfless act of pure heroism and some wholesome healing. Hat's off to you, sir!
Watch as the majestic Herrera rehabilitates this poor ak back too life. Through a mythotical approach, the young ak springs too life singing the song of it's people. If one listens carefully and close, they can hear the sounds of stills making vodka, pissed off bears screaming and boba yaga keeping the village in line.
I think I heard Baba Yaga screaming "Ура!" instead.
Every 10 minutes an ak kit is reported abused. For just ten cents a day you can help these poor creatures.
