    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 UA-cam 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!

      My first rifle may Dad gave me was a Czech VZ-24 he brought back from the Korean War. The Chinese had a ton of these rifles. The rifle was kind of beat up but the bore was good along with the bolt. I learned how to clean and take it apart. I couldn't shoot for shit with it but I cleaned it a lot because of the surplus German ammo that was left over. Too bad my Mom sold the rifle when I lived with my Uncle in NYC. I eventually bought an M24/47 and it brought me back to my childhood but I started to shoot better. 😁😁😁❤❤❤

    Weirdly enough for this rifle a German helmet would’ve also been very appropriate. Also I love the Josep Tito quote of when Stalin kept sending men to kill him he wrote Stalin back and said “if you send one more man to kill me, I will send one to kill you.” And my personal favorite part of that quote. “And I won’t need to send another.”

    The Mauser k98 is such a beautiful firearm, operates like a dream and is extremely reliable. I had a czech surplus mauser mark of 1944 which i had to have restocked as the original stock was split and in very poor shape, but the action and the rifling was still in perfect order after having god knows how many rounds put through it over the past 80+ years. 8mm makes an absolutely perfect hunting round for deer, leaves the wound oddly clean for what was designed to dump a lot of energy into target as a military cartridge. If you ever have the opportunity to fire or use one for hunting i would highly recommend it!

    The Yugo Mausers are great guns. Well made good barrels, and very reliable, Yugoslav Mausers come in one of three flavors, ether they are captured rebuilds, M24/48 or M48 versions. Mauser collectors in the past have rated them at the bottom for collectabilty for years and now the prices are going up as the mil-surp market is drying up. Even those that shunned these great guns are trying to find one. To think when I got my Yugo post-war K98K rebuild, I only paid $200 for the gun. Now I'm luck to get a Mauser firing pin for that money.

    The Yugo 24/47's were actually patterned off the Belgian (FN) Model 1924 rifle, the pre-WWII Yugo 1924 rifle and the Czech VZ 24. The German k98k's were reworked into 98's and 98/48's. Yugoslavia had a fairly large stockpile of various types of Mausers to rework and rearm the postwar Yugo army. If you're really interested, a good starting place is a book by Branko Bogdanovic called " Serbian and Yugolsav Mauser Rifles".

    I got a new Mauser somewhat recently as well, a K98k model SWP 45. It has some weird and interesting history, from what I can gather it was built in Czechoslovakia post-WW2 in a factory that had previously been run by the Germans, so it's technically a Czech rifle built on German machinery. Rifles like that are considered rare and desirable, and neither me nor the seller realized that at the time of sale.
