Polish WBP Rogow has published a video showing how AKMS rifles are disassembled into parts kits in their factory. They completely disassemble the rifles including the removal of barrel and trunnions. Let’s watch the video first then take a closer look at different processes.

In this episode of TFBTV, James discusses (and busts) four of the most popular AK-47 myths with the help of Mishaco and Karl from InRange TV. Is the AK as 10+ MOA inaccurate as people say? Is it as reliable as legend tells us? Are they cheap to make? And what’s the deal with shooting the AK’s short sight radius versus the M4 or AR15? James addresses the myths surrounding these popular guns on today’s TFBTV program.

Century Arms has achieved a lot of adulation for their C39V2 AK-47 rifle. Now they are ushering this into the world of pistols with the introduction of the C39V2 Pistol with a Shockwave Blade. The stout power and compact package that this will provide for AK enthusiasts makes it perfect as a truck gun, for home defense, rogue zombies or just general range fun.

Kalashnikov Media has recently published a scanned copy of a quite an interesting drawing. It is said to be the hand sketch of a CIA agent who first saw the AK-47 rifle in 1953. It was a part of a report which told that during a demining operation in Leningrad and Novgorod oblasts (administrative division) the soldiers of Krasnoselsk infantry regiment were spotted with a new submachine gun. According to that report, the recruits of the mentioned regiment were equipped with PPSh submachine guns whereas the more experienced personnel was carrying a new gas operated firearm.

Last year we reported about the Molot’s plans of making a multi-caliber AK with a quick change barrel feature. Our article was based on the sneak peek images published by the Kalashnikov Gun Magazine. Recently Molot has released a video review of this rifle revealing more features and explaining some of the earlier teased ones.

Opening in theaters on March 9th is 7 Days In Entebbe – a Focus Features film based on the actual events of Operation Thunderbolt – a hijacking/hostage crisis and subsequent counter-terror rescue mission in 1976. Lead by two German and two Palestinian terrorists, the hijacking took place on an Air France flight from Israel bound for Paris, which instead landed in Entebbe, Uganda. Israeli commandos killed seven hijackers and three hostages died during the rescue.

HERA Arms of Germany will be presenting a long list of news as IWA Germany 2018 opens the doors.

What if one supplier stood for 95% of the firearms market in the USA?

The Fiscal Year 2019 Department of Defense Budget Proposal has been submitted to Congress and will take some time before we find out if it is approved or denied. But within it there is a specific budget document titled “Counter-Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) Train and Equip Fund (CTEF)”. This proposal covers the Pentagon’s plans to purchase equipment and arms that will be provided to forces that the United States (i.e- SOCOM) supports in Syria and Iraqi government security forces. At the low end of the supply chain are items such as magazine pouches and canteens, while at the high end are HUMVEEs and bulldozers. We are going to narrow down our focus to the small arms segment for TFB’s interests. A key element to keep in mind here is that this proposal hasn’t been approved yet and thus we are simply looking at what the Pentagon wants, instead of what they are going to get in terms of funding for all this equipment. The final result could be less, or it could even be more depending on the politics that go into the decision making process.

Will a lowly backpack full of books beat an “assault rifle” loaded with military-grade ammo? In this episode of TFBTV, James Reeves tests an SBR H&K MP5, an AK-47, and an AR-15 against a lightly loaded bookbag to find out if books are more effective than body armor against guns. James uses a variety of different ammunition including military-grade M882 9mm ball ammo, M193 .223 ammo, M855 steel penetrator core ammo, and steel AK47 ammunition from Wolf.

In only a few year’s time Kalashnikov suppose that civil goods are supposed to provide about 50% of the group’s total earnings.

Following the news that  Dick’s Sporting Goods would cease selling AR-15s and raise the minimum age to purchase a firearm, Walmart have also announced their decision to raise their minimum purchasing age to 21.

Dennis Martin, a gun lover like all of us who runs with the Instagram handle of “AK47Shooter,” provided this picture on his account recently. Postulating that…

Dick’s Sporting Goods, a major firearms dealer with 675 stores in the U.S., has decided to end the sale of Modern Sporting Rifles (MSRs) – often incorrectly referred to as ‘assault rifles’ – as well as “high capacity” ammunition magazines in all of its retail outlets. The retail giant will also stop selling firearms of any type to individuals under the age of 21. Currently, federal regulations allow for the sale of rifles and shotguns to buyers over the age of 18, whereas the minimum age to purchase a handgun is 21.

The closest I ever got to the Russian Alpha Team was my coffee mug which I bought on location in Russia. We see each other quite often! I chose the silver logotype, not the golden, and the coffee tastes excellent every time!

A couple of months ago I wrote an article telling about how a Russian guy converted his Vepr 308 hunting rifle into a tactical one using mostly homemade parts and modifications. Recently, the same man (Andrey) came up with another DIY project. He made a non-reciprocating forward charging handle for a Saiga-9 semi-auto 9mm carbine.

Sureshot Armament Group has introduced two new chassis systems for AK family of rifles. One of them is already available for preorder and the second one will hit the market later this year. The new chassis are designated as SAG AK MK2 and SAG AK MK3. Let’s take a look at each of them.

A YouTube channel called WarDoc has published a video where they show a rifle grenade launcher made in self-proclaimed Donetsk People’s Republic. This device is basically a tube attached to the muzzle of an AK-74 rifle. Instead of purpose made rifle grenades, it uses the projectiles of 23x152mmB autocannon rounds. As in the case of many other rifle grenades, in order to shoot it, one must load a blank cartridge into the rifle, load the grenade (the 23mm projectile) from the muzzle and shoot the gun. Let’s watch that video then discuss some design aspects of this launcher:

No, Vz. 58 is not an AK version. The recently released video by Kalashnikov Media was just a good additional source to start talking about this topic. This rifle is so many times confused with the AK, that even Kalashnikov Media dedicated a separate video in their video series called “Kalashnikov: Around the World” to tell the history of this Czechoslovakian firearm and explain why it is not an AK. The point of this article is to show that these are different rifles. Which one is a superior design? It is an arguable matter. Both have advantages and shortcomings.

If you have read the first and second parts of our articles telling about the Hungarian AKs, you must know that they are based on a video series published by the Kalashnikov Media. These series are called “Kalashnikov: Around the World”. Vladimir Onokoy, the technical consultant of the Kalashnikov Concern, interviews Pavel Pticin (the founder of AK-Infor.Ru) in these videos. They talk about the differences and features of AK rifles manufactured in various countries. This article is based on the third and final part of the videos about the Hungarian AKs. Let’s take a look at these rifles.

The Arsenal ARS30-1 made its public/dealer debut at the 2017 NASGW Wholesaler Expo in San Antonio, Texas. Made by Gemtech, the ARS30 is obviously purpose-built for the AK47/AK74 platform but is capable of withstanding a variety of calibers and barrel lengths. Constructed of titanium, it weighs in at 19.5 ounces and features a quick disconnect system.

At an exhibition in Minsk held by the Belarusian Military-Industrial Committee, the  Goskomvoenprom or GKVP, a new rifle was unveiled. The unnamed rifle appears to blend features from both the AR and AK platforms.

PUF GUN, based in Chelyabinsk Russia, have released new 60-round 5.45×39 mm magazines for the AK platform.

Earlier, we have covered the first part of the video series published by Kalashnikov Media telling about the Hungarian AK rifles. The entire series is called “Kalashnikov: Around the World” and it tells about AKs produced in different countries of the world. In this article, we’ll take a look at the guns discussed in the second video dedicated to the Hungarian AKs.

With the recent official news that the new AK-12 and AK-15 rifles have been adopted by the Russian Ministry of Defense it’s with interest we with Kalashnikov’s help can take a deeper look into how the rifles were developed and engineered.

Arms of America and Atlantic Firearms have announced that they are starting the importation of Polish Beryl rifle parts into the USA. The two companies are the official distributors of the Polish FB Radom ( FABRYKA BRONI “ŁUCZNIK” – RADOM SP. Z O.O.). While American Arms will be selling these parts separately, Atlantic Firearms will also build rifles using the imported parts. Here is an excerpt from the Arms of America Facebook page announcement:

Aklys Defense makes an integrally suppressed AK rifle called AKSV “Velociraptor”. The suppressor not only encloses the barrel but also the gas system. Combined with the use of a short stroke piston system, it prevents any gas flow back to the shooter. The company also states that this suppressor mitigates the recoil.

According to TASS news agency, Mikhail Petukhov, the deputy director of a Russian government organization called “ Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation“, has announced about a contract signed by Russia and Thailand. The subject of the contract is the procurement of AK rifles for the Royal Thai Armed Forces.
