Khyber Pass Handmade Bolt Action AK Lookalike

Today we are looking at a unique rifle in the National Firearms Centre collection - at first glance it appears to be an AK in a full-length rifle cartridge, using a Bren gun magazine. A closer look will show that it is actually a bolt action rifle, and a careful inspection just makes things stranger.
The entire weapon is manufactured from scratch, not using scrounged parts. While the magazine looks like a Bren magazine and the bolt looks like a P14 Enfield, both are actually handmade. The "gas tube" is entirely decorative, and the "cleaning rod" is fake; both too short and too large in diameter to fit down the barrel. Intriguingly, the caliber of the rifle is a bit of a mystery - it is crudely marked "7MM", but the barrel is larger than 7mm in diameter. The most likely cartridges for a rifle from this area of Afghanistan or the Khyber Pass / Darra region of Pakistan would be 8mm Mauser, .303 British, or 7.62x54R - and none of these fit. It is entirely possible that the rifle is intended to be just a decoration. I would certainly not want to the the first person to try firing it...

I'm pretty sure that Ian's microphone was also made at the Khyber Pass.
Nice
Dang it to liked more
I choked on my own spit reading this. Well done.
Nice
From now on I'm going to buy Khyber pass products only.
This rifle was designed by someone working at Bethesda Game Studios.
Nope, bolt handle is on the right, thats a no go in fallout
@@nicksande6880 3 and New Vegas had right-handed bolt-actions. Are we just going to pretend that never happened?
Those were right handed? Its a bit since i played the titles since they dont run well on my modern pc, but wasnt the hunting rifle in fnv with the bolt on the left?
@@nicksande6880 No, it wasn't.
@@nicksande6880 how do old games not run well on a modern PC? I could literally play new Vegas on my phone better than my laptop years ago
With hindsight on my side, I'll tell all future viewers that this is NOT the worst AK Ian has ever seen.
Sad part is that this actually looks more safe, more reliable and better made.
Well it's gasblock will not yeet off the barrel after shooting, it has been better riveted and the furniture is better than the handguard of the mentioned weapon.
Still more reliable than the ZIP .22
lol
@@igorpidar4494 and more safe
To be fair, the fact that it is all handmade is really impressive.
Yea
This one is one of the worst. Those guys can actually make really good guns. they can copy any design. Its were many taliban got their guns from ( aside from the looted ones and the ones they already had.) because this is the pashtun part of pakistan ( the pashtuns are a ethnic group living in both afghanistan and Pakistan, and they love guns just like americans. They live in tribes and after a 3000 year old tribal and Islamic codex ( pashtunwali) and they have things like revenge or honor killings this is why they produce guns. They have been doing this since the British invasion, when they took the pistols of the dead british soldiers and turned them into Jezails.

That was actually an extra feature that the buyer had no idea it was included :p

Alcatraz question: why would anyone say that?
Dude probably made his own 7mil bullets. I mean he literally made his own fucking bolt action AK...
SniperWalrus could be 7mm lebel
This to me looks like an armorer's pet project or like a person trying to enter a guild by making a masterpiece, this being his first attempt at making a complete gun. At least it's not a straight clone so some thought went into it.
7.62x39 , 7.62x54 . Why excluding them? This guy was a genious.

I was thinking 7mm rem mag?
Meanwhile in Pakistan:
"Hey Youssef, do you remember that look-alike AK bolt action that you made for your kid as a toy?
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Well... you're not gonna believe this...."
Hahaha thats exactly what the guy who made this is probably thinking right now ,they make much more sophisticated ones now. They make full auto handguns like the Glock 18 and the Zigana ,they make AKs and LMGs too nearly original ones. Oh and bring them any gun ,and theyd make you a near identical replica in about a week. They do custom engraving ,gold plating ,custom grips and stocks you name it they can do it. Thing is the guy here is reviewing one of the really shitty rejects they made ,you could grab one of those for maybe 15k or like a $100. The more you pay them the better gun theyll make for you. Oh and the real Darra Adam khel no longer exists ,it translates to No mans land ,use to be between Afghanistan and KPK, Pakistan. All the gun smiths are now in Kohat,KPK Pakistan ,The market is called Darra Market. Darra basically means gun , sometimes also called Dazza(like the sound a gun makes when fired)
@@MegaSaiden who told you that Darra means wpns😂😂
@@sherjan4385
Lol . He seems non pushtun (afghan). That's why he doesn't know what darra means!😅

@@muhammadasim8865 know I'm bit late to the discussion here, but i found it extremely funny how in my country darra means "hungover", which i could easily see to be the condition the maker of the gun was in, when putting that thing together :D
I saw some documentaries about the arms market in Pakistan. This rifle is sold in armories and is one of the cheapest.
The handmade AK I tried at the tribal area arms bazaar was full auto and covered in engraved hunting scenes like an English Best Gun, except the prey they’d engraved was Russian tanks and helicopters. It was a work of art.
Sounds based as fuck
Oh, hey, a California-legal AK.
Those Pakistani gunsmiths were very forward-thinking.
very progressive
tommihommi1 I highly doubt that mag was built after the first California mag capacity limit was imposed. And since the second ban without grandfathering is currently enjoined as a likely-unconstitutional act, old mags are still good-to-go for the time being.
tommihommi1 They don't hold any number of known cartridges, so actually completely CA- compliant.
John Van Swearingen unfortunately it was a failed attempt in California because the non functional magazine is removable.
I thought they called that an SKS, no bullet button, 10 round capacity, uses actual clips to feed the magazine, and no evil pistol grips. What more could a Californian need according to the glorious State of Commifornia laws?
The Soviets were exceptionally forward-thinking, Pakastani's just copied them trying to steal the market

Pakistani here. I've gotta say I'm impressed by these handmade guns.
The problem here is that it's an entire illegal market who's customer think of guns as their culture, which isn't wrong of itself. The customers are mostly Pakthun many of whom migrated from Afghanistan and have settled here. Most of these people, to say bluntly, aren't educated in both school education and firearms safety, especially for others.
I used to live in Peshawar years ago and my father had went out to visit a friend in his car. I believe our team won some cricket match that night and suddenly I heard gunshots from every possible direction like I was in the middle of Operation Red Storm. My dad came back with a bullet through his windshield which landed on the passenger side.
Safe to say I didn't sleep that night.
And I'm talking about ONE BULLET here, when I heard automatic firing consistently for more than a minute.
These people have no regard for other's safety, many have died from these bullets and still are never charged with endangering others. I almost lost my father that night. Somebody probably lost their father that night. But they will never stop.
The government can't stop them any way other than a full crackdown by the military which would turn the entire area into a warzone like Operation Zarb-e-Azab did to north waziristan in 2014. People used to support the Pakistan Taliban as some sort of necessary evil, but it took a mass shooting on a public school run by the military with 100+ children dead to change the public's opinion on it.
Until the entire population is with the military and the government, nothing can be done about this.

-No, we have an AK at home.

and I've got a dope ass garage workshop in America!!!
If the person making this had access to actual gunsmithing training and equipment, I wonder what they could have done. It's a little depressing to think about the wasted talent.
I was looking at the sarcastic comments and just thought "Well make an AK in your garage with what you find there."
They actually make beautiful copies of all sorts of guns. I hear that those guns do not shoot straight. I will post a link to a video if I can find it.
ua-cam.com/video/KGHXdgI0AvM/v-deo.html
@@saucyballs702 That's because making guns is not as simple as they like to think. There's a lot of different factors such as Gas pressure, tolerances, rifling etc.
Its just a weird gun a gunsmith made in pakistan cuz he was bored. Otherwise u should see the level of quality of copied weapons from Dara, Pakistan.
This is the ultimate evolution of *"California Compliant"*
Except most of the actually decent parts of it would still be illegal in California today. Can it shoot? No. Does it look like a scary bad-guy gun? Yes. Scary is very illegal.
Dude, it has a pistol grip... That's some real scary shit, it's banned, even though you could literally make a pipe bomb that does it's job better
Weeelll, ya see, it's harder to make a gun by accident while trying to make a bomb than it is to accidentally make a bomb instead of a gun. The only time I remember hearing about somebody accidentally making a gun instead of a bomb was when an American scientist set off a small nuke at the bottom of a well in the desert and blew the manhole cover off the top of the well and into space. I think it's still up there. I haven't checked.

That really problem!
Haha , no it's badly made and some newbie try to devolpe his skills , actually it's a 7mm which is a single bolt rifle so he mix two guns into one and it's looks pretty use less too .
Still wouldn't want to get shot by it I bet
@@ledge5379 it's as useful as any bolt action rifle.
You jest, but this thing really is a work of art! I definitely couldn't make that out of a pile of scrap metal and a box of rusty files.

This is really impressive! My ex Soviet machine shop worker uncle would have been able to pull this off. He’s a retired lathe operator at ball bearing factory in Alexandria, Romania. He’s also a full time farmer on his own property and ownes and operates heavy duty Soviet farm equipment that most consider outdated because you can’t find parts for them anymore. Several years ago, the factory he retired from purchased new modern lathes and he ended up buying the old Soviet lathe he had worked on for 45 years. He had it transported to his farm and he built a building around it and now he makes his own tractor parts. He would probably be able to crank a few of these out a week if he put his mind to it.
He should start his own youtube channel.
just imagine the guy who made this in Pakistan screaming at the screen whenever Ian makes fun of the gun
He's probably laughing and proud his product made it into the world's eyes.
The illegal gun market has been taken over by the army. sadly no more local guns. when refugee's from afghanistan came into these areas. they exploited these guns against the government. so the army had to close the market. those who made the gun were taken by the army. trained and are now making these for Pakistan army. ( better versions)
We totally need more insane Khyber Pass reviews, surely there must be a Martini Henry made from train tracks chambered in .303 somewhere.
fludblud Next week there's a flintlock bazooka.
My sides right now are so punished.

I think the Gunsmiths just throw together parts from various different weapons and just tinker with them to make functional guns. Khyber Pass weapons are pretty much a hybrid of Frankenguns and "If it works, don't change it and try to copy it for something else".
In my opinion that *looks* pretty good for hand made

Imagine grabbing this thing in a gunfight and suddenly realising you were the victim of the most elaborate prank known to man.
Plot twist: "7mm" would be a new cartridge made by the creator of this
This was made by a guy in NW Pakistan who has been watching Ian since his first video. Him & his mates were sitting around drinking tea one night & hatched a plan to supply him with a firearm he really couldn't explain. It was dropped on a track, just over the border in Afghanistan for an SAS patrol to find, picked up & brought back to the UK as a curiosity & subsequently arrived at Royal Armouries where it caught Ian's eye.
Objective attained...;-)
They were probably smoking some bomb ass hash thats so common in that region but yeah sounds about right
This is so cheap here 🤣
Ye that guy was me lol
Ah, the rare Khyber Pass Forgotten Weapons Knockoff Video. At first glance you might think its an actual Forgotten Weapons video, but once you listen closely you'll hear the distinct screeching audio of a cheap knockoff.
Notice how none of Ian's lines are parallel.
Idk what impressed me the most; that it was all handmade (the detail on the gas tube and flash hider are amazing!), that they faithfully recreated an AK as a bolt-action (likely for just the aesthetics as Ian said they likely had the knowledge to make a self-loader), or that they handmade a magazine off a century-old Bren gun.
This gun will one day sell for dozens of thousands bucks on an modern art expo.
"Hey, how are those plasma rifles going?"
"Pretty good!"
"Listen man, we need to keep it on down low and throw the westerners off with something ridiculous."

The fast that most of these parts are handmade is really genuinely impressive.
All things considered, this is well done. Someone actually made this by hand with limited resources.
And limited knowledge. The person could also apply those skills in other fields more succesfully (:
He hasn't updated the description but the blog says they found that it works with 7x57 mm Mauser.
in Pakistan 7mm is the name for Czech Brno ZKK600 .. i.e. using a 7x57 mm Mauser ammo
A useful comment ... and it's buried under shitty jokes like usual.
Does it shoot ??
Thanks
The way the stock clears the magazine when folding is oddly satisfying XD

Yes is the answer to that question.

This reminds me of the Chinese pistols on Ian's channel, where the "gunsmith" copied the looks of certain pistols controls and features, yet none were actually functional. The gas tube and cleaning rod are hilarious.. the front sight post is super scary. This all reminds me of about 47 years ago(I was 12..), when I took a single shot, bolt action .22lr, milled out the bottom of the receiver in an attempt to make it magazine fed. My Dad was furious when he found out, and I was grounded for couple months, unable to play with any of my guns. I since bought a real, magazine fed .22 rifle..?

Get Rob on the 5,000 rd torture test.
Do you ever wonder if the guy who made that gun has any idea what happened to it? Like, maybe he didn't know any better and genuinely did his best to make a great gun with the tools and inspiration available to him, or maybe he knew full well how ineffective it was but put in the work to make it to the best of his abilities regardless. And now this gun, made in a workshop or a humble mud home by hand over the course of months or weeks, has found its way to the armory of one of the greatest nations of the world and sits cheek-by-jowl with some of the finest and most respected firearms in history. His work of craftsmanship is now an object of fascination and study for gun enthusiasts around the world.

The "fake cleaning rod" is really to spike yourself in the ear if you get into a firefight with that rifle.
Having once been in the military, and grown up as an USAF brat in the 50s and 60s I would say you have a “work of art” who’s purpose is to gather money from rookies. Much like when we sent them you to gather the DHO report. Still it is nice to see that someone took such great pains to trick a rookie.
Thanks for all your work. This is my first post. I know squat about firearms, but really enjoy the engineering that goes into the making them. And time at the range is always fun.
This gun gives the Chinese WAUSER C96 a run for its money.
probably works better too.
I'm betting the round for this was spanish 7x57 mm mauser, lots of 7mm mauser was in the region brought in from the Ottoman Empire, and it was a widely available ammo due to use by many 3rd rate nations in WW2; however, it could also be Swiss because the Swiss had involvement arming Iran prior to the Iran conflict of 1946.
My 1893 Spanish Mauser that fires 7x57mm uses the exact same mechanism to remove the bolt from the gun, I'm pretty sure the intended caliber was 7x57mm Mauser.
I thought the same since .275 Rigby was a popular sporting cartridge in British India and that's the same as 7x57, but the case diameter of 7x57 is 12.01 mm and the case diameter of .303 British is 11.68 mm. If .303 can't fit in the chamber 7x57 can't either.
Well the .303 probably can't fit in the chamber due to the larger bullet diameter not the case diameter. The .303 bullet diameter is 7.92 mm while 7x57 Mauser is smaller at 7.24 mm.
Also CZ Brno made a lot of hunting rifles in 7x57 mm, and former Czechoslovakia had good relations with Pakistan and exported lot of stuff there.

EDIT: Imagine what these guys could do in a proper, modern workshop.

It chambers 7meh. It's is wildcat round with a .5 mm bore tolerance using a necked down or up bit of brass tube stock with a percussion cap primer. There was an earlier rocketball variant that was less successful. It is currently made by the Green Tape Concern.

For something handmade it's quite impressive
I wonder if it was a project by an apprentice, perhaps never intended to fire but to hone skills.
Tim Dinch good theory!
Not likely. They were made in small numbers and are still out there for sale in some Pakistani citys.
I am from Khyber pass, Pakistan, and I think for the price they make these guns and sell them, you would be surprised. That AK when its authentic would cost upwards of $3000 but here's the fun part, the AK he is showing here which is handmade can be bought for as cheap as $130 and i think you can't even get a glock for that price anywhere else. Although the quality is not up to par, we can still appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into it. And another thing, nobody actually uses these rifles here to actually shoot, they just have it lying in their house in their collection, the guns we do shoot are imported mostly from you guessed it, US and Russia and sometimes china.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed the audio quality. There's a good chance thier editing software had an encoding corruption that slightly distorted the audio. It's probably not the microphone's fault. It happens occasionally with any production video software.
This is extraordinarily impressive. Given the tools this gunsmith probably had access to at least.
Bryce Piper What's impressive is that Khyber Pass gunsmiths have been manufacturing counterfeit weapons for hundreds of years and they still haven't gotten at least SOME machine tooling.

+Van Doren, you make the mistake of thinking every oddity you've seen on your computer screen is entirely representative of what the Pass has to offer. Which means you assume that you've seen it all from the seat of your computer chair. It's an ignorant assumption to make, to say the least, but I can see why - from what you probably have seen - you'd feel this way.

Pass a ban on firearms here, and you'll see a Khyber Pass around every fucking corner. In the land of plenty, why provide for yourself when the entire system is based around labor and accumulating the wealth to pay for that labor and service? It's not The People, it's the system they inhabit.
Working 1911s filed from mild steel are being made in the Philippine countryside and shipped to California and elsewhere for sale in the black market. When there's a need, there's a way. ua-cam.com/video/pq1TXEE_QK4/v-deo.html
Changing one's oil is easy. Just cant be bothered to do it. Why spend 10 minutes under my car and have a bucket full of dirty oil I cant use for anything when I can just pay a guy 30$, not get dirty, and not have to deal with disposal of the old oil?
Shits sad huh
Ban oil pans
This gun was never meant to be a replica. It's much easier to use an already existing platform that's widely available there in Dara. Very nice.
I would LOVE to have one of these on my wall. What a conversation piece!
Inquiring minds demand a chamber casting. WOULD it fire with the right cartridge? (LONG string recommended)
Other countries have a great craft beer scene, they got a craft arms scene.
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul We do indeed but most of the country has illegalsed them for quite some time now so no more automatic weapons basically
the guns of the Khyber Pass never fail to both amuse and impress. No matter how rough they look, there is a superhuman individual cranking these things out without proper measuring tools. Some of the higher end ones are indistinguishable from the originals, outside the unusual additional features added by the local maker. For example, ever seen an AK-74 clone with an underfolding stock rather than a triangle side folder? Yep. Stuff like that.
as a guy who homebuilds from scratch, This is a fantastic bit of work.
Probably one of the strangest guns I’ve ever seen, interesting though that it seems actually well made.
I love the Khyber Pass firearms. They are so fascinating. Keep 'em coming!
Thanks
Darra is Finnish for hangover. Maybe that could explain something about the design...

Muslims can't drink tho
@@zubairhussain3645 Seldom find...
In that region, 7mm is a very famous round. you will find all types of guns around the world design copy with 7mm round fit. There is an automatic 7mm too, early 1990 I used to have an M16 design with 7mm, M16 was famous due to Rambo 2 or 3 I guess.
Even if it doesnt work, it's actually quite impressive. I'd be extremely happy with myself if I made this with simple tools and it worked safely
California legal AK
You think you can get that foreign made High power mil spec Ak style assault weapons into California
@MrOverCritical1989 Just because the mag is physically large doesn't mean it has a high capacity. The folding stock, however, may be problematic in the People's Republic of Northern El Salvador.
Still more than you can own in the ukssr
If it has 3 rounds magazine
@GunsOfThePhoenix aw
When I see stuff like this I always wonder how the Pakistani nuclear program went. "Let's shape those uranium spheres by hand and keep working on them until they look mostly like the drawing Dr. Khan stole."
Should have let Iron Man do it.
Lol, porkistan isn't as technologically backward as you think.
Tanveer Hasan it actually is
dima saman well they make their own jets, thats gotta count for something,right?
Tanveer Hasan yes but still
The biggest mystery is how did this AK look alike end up there.
I’m honestly surprised that this thing didn’t fall apart while Ian was handling it
maybe it's a experimental gun with a experimental cartridge made by someone that just REALLY likes AKs
honestly, it's actually an incredibly well made item (maybe not gun) given that it's in practice a garage gun from a 3rd world mountain range.
Is it weird that some parts of Alabama classify as a "Third World mountain range" too? There's got to be some billy in his shack firing up the lathe right next to his moonshine still. We're not so different than those Khyber guys in some weird ways.
you can mail order an ar15 bolt and expect it to arrive
whoever made this must've been reaaaally proud
If i made this i would .
An underfolder on a full power bolt action rifle. Why has no western engineer thought of this before? Simply genius.
Or maybe it's all a ruse. Meant to just look like an AK from a distance so maybe some bad people would think twice about messing around. And if absolutely necessary a round could be fired as a warning shot...maybe a possibility idk
But again, why? If you're going to go to all that trouble & do that well of a job, why wouldn't they just make an AK?
@@JessePorter Does the mechanism on a fully automatic weapon/self loader not require some basic understanding of gas pressure/precision metal working to make it able to work?
Easier to just make a percussion cap "cannon/musket" innit?
@@Elenrai Well, first of all, we're not really talking about a select-fire AK, but a semi-auto AK. Second, I would argue that someone with those kinds of weapon-making skills would probably have the understanding of which you are speaking.
@@JessePorter The gun in the video is bolt action tho? I meant that the creator of the rifle might not have had the necessary understanding of guns to make the whole self loading mechanism, but effectively making a musket/hand cannon is something you can teach a child, thus I suggest that the reason they do not simply make an AK is because the technical understanding of firearms required to make a self loading rifle of any kind might not have been possible.
Just take world war 2 major powers, and consider how much of a nightmare it were for Germany for instance, to actually make a reliable self loading rifle despite highly educated engineers and dedicated guns.
Another reason that they might not want the thing to be full auto is the Sten gun and its uh...temperamental nature, if they have had those things lying around for a while they might have figured out that home made automatic firearms were too dangerous to have.
Only people who don't understand guns & the legality surrounding self-defense laws would speak about warning shots as a reality.
Pakistani Gunsmith - "I'm really good"
Customer - "Bet you can't get a gun on UA-cam"
Gunsmith -"How much?"
Hey Ian, there were a couple clues for the caliber, 7mm and the fact the ( apparently ) 30 cal button would not fit the barrel. Maybe try a 7mm Mauser round ??!! Also, Yes it's crude, and may or may not work, but the abilities to do this build are amazing !
Say what you want, the level of skill demonstrated here is impressive.
