TAG97 Yeah... out of the box it failed miserably. Couldnt get past 20 rounds. After taking it back to the store, The gunsmith inspected it. It had a bad extractor. Out of spec possibly causing the rifle to be out of headspace. The bolt was usable but in bad shape and the magazine well tolerance was too tight. No mags would fit other than a Pmag. Put these 3 together and I got nothing but jams, double feeds, failure to feed, stove pipes every singe cycle of the bolt. Had to send it back. Rileys Customer service is phenomenal tho. They answer any and all emails. Stay in touch and even call you to assure it will be taken care of. The Riley Defense rep even said he would include a tactical muzzle brake, cleaning kit and a few extra mags for the troubles. I should be getting it back in a few days. We’ll see...
0Rockstar7 Wow, that’s crappy as can be... I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Mine is sold af and never even had anything that bad. Keep me updated brother. That’s just crazy 🤯
TAG97 you sold yours? Yeah I’m making a video on this experience once I get it back tomorrow or friday. I am bummed out. Brand new rifle. 2020 production and couldnt get thru 20 rounds. Failed to mention that I stopped after a casing got stuck in the chamber. Like I said, it was catastrophic. Riley seems to really push customer satisfaction. They emailed me a video of my rifle shooting it at their facility after all the new parts and repairs done. And it is running perfectly. I hope that is the case...
@@DesertTactical very solid and reliable weapon. I’m very happy I purchased it. I’ve shot over 2,000 rounds since I’ve bought it and has not jammed once. My friends all like the aesthetics of the wood. 9/10 I recommend it.
I’m glad I made you laugh 😂 I’ll be doing a Hi-Point torture test in the next few weeks. If you subscribe you won’t miss it 🇺🇸 Also, to get more updates I have my Instagram “__tag97” I look forward to having you as my follower 🇺🇸
So I ended up getting this rifle cause of this video and I’m happy I did. I think I got really lucky but right out of the box it was zeroed in almost spot on. No failures no issues just fun shooting. When I put 1,2,3000 etc rounds through it I’m thinking of posting a video on it.
also had to comment again here, really liked your review on the rak, would love to see a follow up of your experience with it and how it performs. maybe a 1000 round or 2000 round review
Gwiffer Most likely since I’ve hit 3,000 rounds with my Radical Firearm, last time I shot it. So it shouldn’t be a problem, I have about 13 different firearms I have to still do a review on... Stay tune for more upcoming videos. Don’t forget to follow my Instagram for updates about the channel. 🇺🇸
My older videos are so cringe to me lol. I appreciate your feedback nevertheless bro, check out my “newer” review of the AK74 I did… about a year ago. You can tell the how much the channel has improved. Link: ua-cam.com/video/b_PHUEkEMUw/v-deo.html
I sent my RAK47 back for canted sights among some other mainly cosmetic quirks and they made no comment about what they did but I got it back with RPK leaf sights lol wtf..functionally, the gun has been 100% reliable.
just ordered the tactical version, should come in sometime this week. also im pretty sure this dude TheComicalCanadian is botting comments...he just did the same to my video
Hey brother. Another army vet here (grunt life) I just picked this same gun up today and let me tell you what... everything about this gun is tight and stiff lol. I guess it’s better than loose and junky but what a masterpiece it is. Beautiful gun.
Mine is the same way. , got mine yesterday and was looking at the vids 4 this platform cause I thought I was taking it off wrong. The front sight still wont move and I haven't adjusted it yet.
You’ll need a special tool to use for the front sight. I bought mine off of Midway USA www.midwayusa.com/product/1007106641 This is the same one I have and use.
Because why not? There is nothing wrong with that at all. Who cares about what other people do, long as they are having fun and enjoying time at the range, that’s all that matters. If you can shoot at 500m with it, cool good for you. I was just going over what the specs say 🇺🇸
Ouch, that’s way higher then I paid. Must be because of supply and demand. Best of luck with your purchase, and hope it all works out well. Good luck brother💯🤙
The grouping was at 25m and was good. If you check my Instagram you’ll see the picture for it. Also, don’t forget to subscribe. Please and thank you 🇺🇸
@Tag97 do you shoot with both eyes open or just one. It’s hard for me to shoot with both eyes open, I mean I obviously move around with both eyes open lol but when I’m shooting I close my non dominent eye.
So it really depends for me. Not many people realize that I actually need to wear prescription glasses when I shoot. Most of time I’m actually shooting blind, but I’m still hitting the target lol. I normally slightly squint my left eye when shooting but I can do both.
Oh okay man, well sorry to hear that, do you think it’s a real disadvantage to shoot with one eye closed or to squint one eye? It’s just hard for me to be accurate shooting with both eyes open. I mean I’m sure lots of people do it but it’s kinda weird to me.
I'm glad to see that people are still giving the RAK47 a chance. After AKOU and other weapon reviewers made their test people kind of abandoned Riley. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see how your rifle holds up.
Absolutely, the channel has a lot more in stored. Make sure to subscribe and stick around to see more content like this. Appreciate the feed back of course 🇺🇸
Actually, AKOU stopped testing because the rifle they got was a rushed modgepodge version that riley took off the shelf and are now testing their newer line. To include their ak74 (5.45 caliber) rifle. So AKOU is actually pretty hopeful with riley. And NutNFancy fuckin loves thebriley defense rifles. And 704 tactical loves his. But yeah they surely took a hit with sales because of the AKOU having to stop testing.
I appreciate the feedback and kind words brother. I highly recommend watching some of my newer content since this is “older”. I did recently purchased the AK74 from Riley Defense. Just waiting on shipping. Texas has been hit with a “severe weather issue” and all the packaging companies can’t do anything at this time. 💯🤙

That’s good bro, I hope you enjoy and shoot the crap out of it lol. I appreciate the feedback 💯💯💯

Just purchased this gun, first AK so I’m hoping it is accurate and fun. The wood looks nice
How has it been for ya, Chris?

@@chrisfernandez5030 Awesome! I have one that I got a couple years ago and I really enjoy it.
great shit man keep it up!
I appreciate it very, I’m glad you like the content 🇺🇸

Much appreciated brother 🤙
Excellent Hi-Point reference lmao

yep, theyre 900 now lol =[
The RAK47? How much I said it was? Like $700
I think it really comes down to where you buy it. Makes sense to me, because of how people are taking advantage of the situation we are in.
laughs in 1239.99
That’s how much I paid for their AK74... that’s crazy
it was the only good ak for the price they had a polish one for 1000 but I looked up reviews and it was garbage
So I ended up getting this rifle cause of this video and I’m happy I did. I think I got really lucky but right out of the box it was zeroed in almost spot on. No failures no issues just fun shooting. When I put 1,2,3000 etc rounds through it I’m thinking of posting a video on it.
Definitely do brother, would love to watch your video 💯🤙
Is it still holding up? I'm thinking about picking one up.
Just ordered one of these (the teak furniture version).
$855
FJB
Love mine! Magpul’d it out tho!
Man… ammo prices have changes a lot in 4 years. FJB.
Yup! Sadly…

We need Tag back!
I sent my RAK47 back for canted sights among some other mainly cosmetic quirks and they made no comment about what they did but I got it back with RPK leaf sights lol wtf..functionally, the gun has been 100% reliable.
Well if all else fails, spray and pray 🇺🇸😂😂😂
just ordered the tactical version, should come in sometime this week. also im pretty sure this dude TheComicalCanadian is botting comments...he just did the same to my video
Gwiffer I did see that, unfortunately people like that exist. It’s whatever tbh. That’s good to hear, hopefully you love it 🇺🇸
the AK is an excellent performing gun when purchased for $700 each and supplied to twenty thousand poorly trained african youth militia
It’s actually a lot cheaper in the rest of the world. In the US it’s got that cancerous “import ban” because they’re scary lol
Hey brother. Another army vet here (grunt life) I just picked this same gun up today and let me tell you what... everything about this gun is tight and stiff lol. I guess it’s better than loose and junky but what a masterpiece it is. Beautiful gun.
I’m glad you like the AK, have fun with it. Treat the rifle good and it won’t fail you 🇺🇸
TAG97 you know it brother
eric danaher make sure you subscribe too brother, it would help a lot, and also I have a new review every week 🇺🇸
Mine is the same way. , got mine yesterday and was looking at the vids 4 this platform cause I thought I was taking it off wrong. The front sight still wont move and I haven't adjusted it yet.

www.midwayusa.com/product/1007106641
This is the same one I have and use.
350? then why do people shoot at 400 and 500 yards with AKs all the time? hmmmm.
Because why not? There is nothing wrong with that at all. Who cares about what other people do, long as they are having fun and enjoying time at the range, that’s all that matters. If you can shoot at 500m with it, cool good for you. I was just going over what the specs say 🇺🇸
@@tag9790 that probably came out more assholy then I meant.
Veteran Vamp No problem man, I’m very chill. I’m sitting on my porch with a cold beer. Life is good man 💯
On OCTOBER 19th 2020 mine cost $869.00 +tax.
Ouch, that’s way higher then I paid. Must be because of supply and demand. Best of luck with your purchase, and hope it all works out well. Good luck brother💯🤙
On January 15th 2021 I paid 1000 :(
Holy shit, how did the value of it get that high?
@@tag9790 supply & demand, or folks know a war is comin.

What distance did you sight it in at? How were the groups? Thanks.
The grouping was at 25m and was good. If you check my Instagram you’ll see the picture for it. Also, don’t forget to subscribe. Please and thank you 🇺🇸
Wow you can really scramble I tell you that you're one of the fastest I've seen in awhile keep up the great work
Does anyone know the color name of the rifle in this video I have the same amd want to order a matching grip
It’s a tak-47-c-l, or laminate stock from Riley I think, looks stock
What he said ^
Can I have one for that same price now? 😂
Of course you can, in the “land of imagination”. Everything is possible brother lol
Do any Steel magazines fit it?
Yes, I can remember which models tho
@Tag97 do you shoot with both eyes open or just one. It’s hard for me to shoot with both eyes open, I mean I obviously move around with both eyes open lol but when I’m shooting I close my non dominent eye.

How I personally feel about it is, if you are hitting the target in a comfortable manner and ACTUALLY getting good results. Don’t change anything 💯🤙
Alright thanks man, I subscribed keep up the good work
Thank you brother 💯🤙
