Misha thank you so much for continuing to share your knowledge with us about these variants . That Yugo is beautiful btw. Same with the Maadi the Romanian Egyptian and East German crutch folder is one of my faves.
People shit on yugos so much. I cant understand. My zastava is the nicest ak I've ever seen
@@SugarMilkbro Yugos are tanks . I think people believe the fishing story about shot out barrels a little too much. Do not know much about the Z pap or any of the new rifles but my milled M 70 is a tank.
@@SugarMilkbro you have never heald a vepr I guess 🤷🏻♂️
@@michaelbirdsong196 all the yugos are built like tanks stamped or milled
@@Detective.John.Kimble everyone got there own oppinions vepre is one of the nicest AKs ive ever held also i think there among the best for sure
I really miss the affordable 7.62 x 39 Spam cans, thanks Brandon!
What shoots 7.62x47 ?

@@pc5440 My bad had a 🧠💨, 😅
I am continually surprised that you don’t have a Romanian G kit build in your collection. I truly appreciate you taking the time to share your collection with us. You have taught me more about the ak and akm and ak74 and other variants than anyone or any other source.
When imports are available, I prioritize those over US parts kits guns. We have the GP-WASR10/63, which is just a Romie-G build but done in Romania by Cugir.
Love the love you've been showing for the AKM-63, and always eager to hear more history on it. Thank you Misha.
I've always liked this variant a lot myself. Its not too well known and there are so few parts kits in the USA. After weaiting for years, i finally just decided to use an SA85m as a base rifle to get one.
@@misha5670If I have an AK-63F kit build, can I simply get an AKM-63 handguard and gas tube to make it a clone or is there more work than that?
What a great series this week! Thank you
Dang man some of the best content on UA-cam awesome video as always keep'm coming my man
Church is in session
Instantly, i thought of the 'Church Lady' lol. I miss SNL...back when it was you know? good....and fun.
And the people said amen.
Yes
Awesome video as allways! AK variants have such character and interesting origin stories, especially the journey to the American civilian market. When you were speaking of the M70 it made me think perhaps they were trying to keep some SKS features lol. Like the night sights, rifle grenade sights/muzzle capable, and even the rear pin for the receiver top cover.
Anyways, thanks and keep up the great work.
Night sights & the grenade launcher were things Yugoslavia added to their design too. You don't find them on the original Soviet pattern.
really enjoyed ak week. I have had a great time watching. one of my favorites is the east german variants. I cobbled together a wasr10 with east german furniture and correct compensator. it's an aberration to the purist I'm sure but what fun it was to collect and make a clone. thanks for your time and help always.
So you just replaced parts on a Wasr10 rather than building an AK? As far as I know, they never imported the receivers, only as complete rifles
@@lioncelica5170 Yes collected E.German furniture mags compensator stripped and refit added kns piston. Put Vz.58 sling on primary arms red dot and mount from akoustore and its a really fun shooter. Wasn't particularly expensive for the times. I saw a true kit build somewhere was like 3500.00. I'm having great fun with what I have put together for less than a grand. I know what it is and isn't it's really fun to shoot and that's all that matters to me.
@@nedanschutz Shit, my kit build cost me around $600 total. I'd be tempted if i were offered $3.5k for it hehe. In the end, i just enjoy what I have and am greatful younger me decided to get into AKs and FALs instead of AR15s & Glocks.
I love my SA93. Some guy bought it brand new in ‘94 and it sat new in box for over two decades until I bought it. No rust, just brand new like it was in a time capsule. I still need to deban it.
A friend has a like-new SA93 in the box, and i am trying to talk my cousin, whose into collecting Arsenals, into getting it. Told him its the very first Bulgie AK import, so something any collection should have.
Great content Misha!!!
I Love ❤️ That Jack Rifle Misha That Flash Hider Is So Effective It Reminds Me Of The One Used On The US M-14 Rifle 😊
This was one of your best videos. How interesting and such a beautiful collection
Thank you, and don't tell anyone but I kind of just dreamed this one up to have something to complete AK-Week lol.
Excellent history lesson. Thank you. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Superb video. I'm interested to know is it possible to find the East German hand guard retainers with the larger sling loop? Or does anyone make them new?
Thanks for the content misha u the man. Keep the ak content coming cant get enough of it.
This was a bit of a staller week while i focus on getting some new things really so we have something fresh for June & July. I am happy to report that things have been coming together nicely, and I have at least 3 truely new guns to talk about soon.
Excellent information. Thanks I prefer wood and steel as well.
That legion build is nice man .
Enjoy your vids, keep’em coming!
Quick question Misha what about a Spiker with some small markings made in China on it and a serial number?
You know your AK s . With so many variants what would you recommend for my first purchase ? Excellent videos .
A question I've done a few different videos on. Also one you are welcome to drop in the June Q&A video thread over on Patreon. We should be recording that video here in about 2 weeks.
If you're on a budget of around $900 the wasr-10 or the zpap are solid chioces. If you have a little more to spend the wbp fox or Jack are very nice akms and could be had for around 1300
شكرا جزيلا ميشا على المراجعه...اريدك ان تجيب على سؤالي...هل المعدن الروسي هو الافضل في AKM
OMG all that beautiful wood! 😍
I get that a lot
Hopefully the 556 jack Comes out without the side rail And have that breyl top rail option, That will complete my life
I still don't understand why the Romanian WASR-10 doesn't just have receivers with Magwell dimples I mean the Romanian Draco has Magwell dimples but the rifles do not and I don't mind the repeating on ak's I love a Refresh on the history and just seeing all the different variants thanks for the videos
Single stack vs double stack magwells.
Did you end up getting one of the recent North Korean kits that Atlantic had?
The Czechs did design the CZ 2000, an AK variant in 5.56, although not an AKM and probably not produced in great numbers.
Checkout my past videos on the development of the CZ 805 Bren series for discussion of the Lata-S & CZ-2000. Basically, the CZ2k was never put into serial production, though several test/trials/demo units were produced. India considered briefly adopting the platform. Czech firearms design history is of particular interest to me. Its a parallel but different path compared with the USSR, with more German influences and even more from JMB if we're being honest too.
I love the blued finish, I also like the dark stocks, but on my SSR-85C-2 has like Blonde wood and I wanted to save it’s good condition, so I pulled them off and put on Magpul stuff because I’m shooting it and don’t want any dings in it, but every time I look at it in the safe I think man I should put the wood back on it
What's the point of having something nice if you don't enjoy it?
@@misha5670 Oh I enjoy it, the wood I see on a lot of the guns is marred up, and mine is actually in really good condition, so I figured the polymer would hold up good, but I do often think of putting the wood back on because it’s Beautiful with it
Ak's aren't like other guns they have an atmosphere and they have a very special sound
Awesome video.
Beautiful video!!!!!
Yugo guns are just nice
Very nice
Thank you.
You're Welcome
if it's ak content I'm here!
Cugir should improve the finish a bit on their AKs for the commercial market. I’d be willing to pay more for that.
My 2021 Cugir made WASR has a better finish than my friends 2021 Zastava, for what it's worth.
Im calling bs, own both and seen others, zastava’s bluing vs wasr phosphating, day and night
@@ilikegearsofwar3 type of finish has zero impact on quality of finish. You can call bs all you want, but I've seen it with my own eyes.
@@davidlove6045 ill have to agree im not going call bullshit u have a right to an oppinion but in my eyes the finish on zeastavas has always been better than cugir but i also love cugir guns for there ruggedness
@@timothycain4512 I'm not saying ALL Zastava rifles have bad finishes. I'd say 9 out of 10 have excellent bluing. My buddies rifle and some others I've seen online have what looks like flaking on the receiver.
Nothing is perfect. I'm definitely not trying to knock Zastava or their awesome rifles.
What is the name of the rifle you showed
Are the All russian akm rifles have a CHF barrel.
And Chinese type56 off course a button one . And what things makes CHF more popular over button one can you plz imagine the barrel life both of these.
What do you all think of Maadi AK prices right now? They don’t seem as inflated as Chinese AKs.
The prices arent bad on maddis right now u should beable find one pretty resonable there not the prettiest but run very good
National AK month sounds good.....
After this month's Patreon Q&A, a little rest honestly sounds good to me lol.
This should count for college credit.
The WASR 10 GP.
Love it!
GP-WASR10 was how they had it listed in their catalogue. Followed by the GP-WASR10/63 in 2007.
Mine was the first Post (post) ban to come in at the shop I worked at. Late '04. Been a real champ.
@@schrodingersgat4344 Yep, i remember those. Came in around Thanks Giving that year. You could get a fixed stocker or a folder with a crappy Tapco buttstock lol. Luckily, UFs came along soon enough.
@@misha5670 I will say: The batch that had the Tapco stocks, had lighter triggers.
We tested mine at 5 & 1/2Lbs. I was happy with that.
Then we got those, and they came out at 4 & 1/2Lbs.
@@schrodingersgat4344 That was around the time Century was switching over to the G2. Orig, the G2 design came from Gordon Tech, but it was sold to Tapco around 2003 (ish).
Are the US companies like PSA, KUSA, and Riley Defense putting out AKM clones or close facsimiles?
KUSA's are based on the AK100 series, so not really AKM. Riley i know little about and PSA just does whatever. Their stuff tends to be hybrid or their own creations.
K-usa are putting out quality 100 series clones there aks are wearing better than most my imports and the bolt travel smoother than any of my imports
Riley and PSA do very close AKM clones. KUSA does fully correct AK-100 series.
@@alexandruianu8432 agreed
I compared my PSA GF3 and to his Russian kit build and they’re almost identical. Very few differences outside of the markings and newer finish. Biggest differences are that the GF3 has a scope rail, a slightly different pistol grip.
Not really noticeable unless you’re well informed on the AK platform.
And it’s a fantastic gun for the money! I’m happy to beat this thing up and use it as intended. If I had a real Russian AK it would be a safe queen.
anyone have any ideas that factory 54 are still even making guns? or they just stopped doing firearms for good since there's like almost no infos about their current status.
As far as I know, they have stopped manufacturing the AKM/MISAR/ARM. In fact, I do know they had a contract with wBP to refurb and provide replacement parts for some of their older guns here a couple years back.
ah ok, welp sounds like they have totally lost the capability to domestically making AKs if they gotta contract WBPs to refurb their guns
oh a couple more thing Misha, do you know exactly around what year they totally full stop the production, and does factory 54 was even still exists at this point? I do dug out some old archived website thing about the plant (which only displayed potato grade catalogs of household and commercial appliances but any than that, didn't really show any obvious answer for what i'm curious about.
@@kalashloy4179 The last semi-auto MISRs were imported by Century around 2001 or so. That's about all I know.
There is only Zastava, everything else is a wannabe.
As much as I do actually really like Zastava, its a bit funny that of all of these, they were the only ones not to have any kind of official license to build any type of Kalashnikov from the Russians.
I think my saiga would argue with you.
На оригинальном АКМ -ИЖ 1973г крышка от ТОЗ АКМ)))
I dont know why but stamped AKs dont do anything for me, I really like the Milled guns though. Not sure what it is
I get it, will probably revisit the milleds sooner or later too.
The good news is there are plenty of American made milled receivers for builds. The Arsenals are the only milled imports I know of unless you want to count the IWI Galil ACE.
Make ak week every week!!
Unfortunately, i don't think I have enough AKs for that hehe.
Wire as in barbed wire barriers?
Even electric wiring, as in for guarding things. The bayo & scabbard were insolated.
Kind of like your Overpriced Atlantic AKM built with multiple parts and a Childers reciever? Nothing original about it except for the cost. $2,199. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I don't understand why all the simple changes that do not seem to do much, are considered a whole different AK. I understand from the Russian military side of things of making their rifles better BUT , I think allot of AK development was men simply trying to justify their jobs LOL
Same things that make an XM16E1 different from a M16A1, and then an M16A2 and M4. Differences matter. When it comes to the AKM, what we see is each nation customizing the design to suit their individual needs/tastes. Hungary and Romania obviously liked VFGs, while East German wanted lightweight and Yugoslavia valued the ability to launch rifle grenades.
It’s so snobs can flick their nose at every AK pattern rifle and tell you how you called it the wrong name.
In terms of what I call my particular rifle it depends who I’m talking to.
If I tell some rando I have a PSA GF3 he won’t know what that is.
If I tell him I have an AKM he may or may not know what that is.
If I tell him I have an AK-47, he definitely knows what that is.
When did I comment this💀
That’s not a akm. It’s obviously a bazooka
Would an RPG7 do?
🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧❤️❤️❤️
GOOOOOOOD GOD, can’t you make it shorter? The video not the barrel length. I wish I had the time to watch. I just don’t have the time. Facts so good but it’s waaaaaay too long. I know y’all seen this before but I have to try again. I’d like to see y’all be a 200k plus channel but I don’t think y’all are gonna get there. It’s cool if you don’t care, my wishes aren’t yours.
I am who I am and if it were shorter, oh so much would have to be cut out. If i did that, then it wouldn't be unique. Also, it wouldn't be me operating at my best ability. I do not believe in not doing one's best possible work.
I Enjoy The Longer Videos And Misha Has Great Respect For Details And Facts And In My Opinion a True Historian And a Wealth Of Knowledge And Has Real Examples To Show and Teach By Seeing 😎
Some of us LOVE to nerd out on the long form detail rich videos from Misha. That's why I been following him for years since I first found him so long ago.
Still love it
L
Potato patao
Could do a video on Potato Guns. We definitely made some of those as kids lol.
@@misha5670 My father made me one when I was 7, but I shot the neighbors roof, and then he broke it down….🤣🤣🤣
(The Neighbors didn’t know wha hit’em, but they knew it came from up the hill..
🤣🤣🤣
@@leadhead7338 Sounds about right hehe
That's f****** awesome
That is an outstanding collection
