I saw an AR15 muzzle device that had a similar crown. It is used to break through car windows. Not sure if that is the function of the crown on the muzzle break on the AK 12, though.
You have one of the soft receiver from B-WEST if I was you get a Childers Norinco receiver hell you can even get the Norinco logo engraved on left side of receiver that's what I would do don't wait just transfer over all the Chinese parts call it a day. Due to the infamous 1989 Bush crime bill all of B-WEST imports they had coming in then had to be destroyed so B-WEST had no alternative but to cut the original receivers to make kits to meet the law or lose all money on these guns so he had a company make the receiver's. I forget who built them back up back then ? But who ever it was made pretty good looking receiver's they just didn't heat treat them probably from plain ignorance of the AK platform. If it says Made in the USA its a bad receiver if it says China your good ALLL USA made ones were not heat treated I get you got a 1000rnds down range but it wont last forever.
This one has almost 2000 rounds down the pipe, I believe I got lucky and the its one of the ones that had a heat treated receiver. One day Ill take it and get it hardness tested to be sure! Its kind of a cool piece of american AK history so I may just keep it with the original receiver! Thanks for watching!
Not even close to an AK-12. This is nothing more than a heavily modified Saiga sporter/hunter. Not a Kalashnikov Concern correct receiver, not to mention other incorrect parts/features
Perhaps you could educate us on where to source a "Kalashnikov Concern correct" receiver and parts, especially considering the vast majority of these kits were CX/blank guns with demilled bolts/trunnions. Or maybe you know how to import Saiga TR3s (Civilian semiauto AK12s)?.
Its cool to have a very rare AK even though they're built in 100ks . Our gun laws are so dumb here in the US. I just always found the AK12 temu ,to be a disaster. The original AK12 was the way. Lots of innovation and modernization. Would have been the best AK ever made
Beautiful as always, good job!! What's your opinion on Zenitcoing these, that furniture looks so badass. But on the other hand original has its own appeal.
What's even the point of that? The AK-12 is basically an AK-74 with a cheap modernisation kit mounted from the factory. You don't need an AK-12 if you're going full Zenitco.
I am from the Middle East and I can tell you that the Chinese type56-1 AK is one of the best 5 types of AK . It also has the best firing sound compared to others. (Sound matters in the Middle East 😂) The worst thing about it is the paint quality.
DUDE! These are the best shooting Ak's EVER made! Have had the pleasure of building a few of these at my day job (minus the welded stuff like the gas tube/Rsb, someone else does that lol) but I've absolutely loved the way they handle during test firing, wish I could have one for my own collection. Without a doubt they really are the pinnacle of the AK.
@@AK-John_Official I originally believed I had cracked the code to the "best/easiest shooting ak" a few years ago during my home building years when Tortort first came out with their 5.45 receiver. And dont get me wrong, w/ the bulgarian kit I built on it (excluding the furniture for obvious reasons), the two paired very nicely together and I was as stoked as a dude could be... then i finally got to experience the 12 like a year into building full time at TRA, and it instantly shat all over my previous stoke level. It was like shooting the old .32 scorpions, such a ridiculous lack of recoil. Id really like to figure out if its the 12 brake or the heavier barrel that makes such a crazy difference (although Its probably a balanced factor of both working together) and further Frankenstein the milled 74 to hopefully reclaim its throne one day lol. Btw man, I've been pretty pumped with coming across these videos you've been doing covering the various models in fine detail. I'd tried to get my boss to do some shit like this with all of the cool stuff we have/that comes through, but it was never going to happen with how much he despises the internet & computers lol glad to see more stuff like this coming from actual builders tho. I'd like to do something similar one day if you haven't covered all of the bases by then. Keep it up brother! 🤙
From what I understand, Serbian paramilitaries painted their wood black as an identifying mark. I bought a set from Apex and it’s on my AB2 underfolder
