Keep looking up Larry- hope you do a video on what happened with your collection. It would be a shame for the Feds to confiscate and destroy such a collection!
@@WetaMantis because for whatever reason, his FFL/SOT license expired and wasn’t renewed while he was in personal possession of NFA weapons while not having a valid license.
@@felixdewinter3484 Covid caused some serious delays processing FFL license renewals. Larry, along with many others, was entirely blame-free. The ATF itself is at fault.
@@sigspearthumb3249 Maybe, lets wait and see what the court has to say since that's where these things go to get adjudicated by law and not in the purview of the public
Mr. Vickers, I began watching you when you were on TAC-TV, and I have always enjoyed the way you present with an informative yet fun style. You’re an awesome teacher. I will pray that the Lord grants you many more days of a cancer free life! May the God of our Lord Jesus bless you, sir!
I love all of my Blue Force slings! Six, so far. The latest is a custom sling I had BFG build for my 5.45 Bulgy side folder that I used at Red Oktober 2021. Two weeks of training up prior to and two solid days of constant of use in Vegas and that sling rocked! Good video for the new AK folks out there. Keep up the great work and stay strong, Larry! We're all with you!
BTW, for those like me that have a tight latch on the gas tube lock, you can use the bolt carrier itself as a "extender" to unlatch. There is a slot in the side of the bolt carrier that makes a perfect fit for the gas tube lock latch. This grabs the latch perfectly and the side of the bolt carrier means you can easily unlock the latch. You don't need to hit the latch.
I'm from Russia and we were doing this in the school, 40 min lesson once in a week and we were competing with classmates. In order to get "A" grade you had to do disassembly and assembly in 25 seconds, my personal best was around 19 seconds.
I saw a video from Russia of such a class. I have to say that the AK they had must have had loose fitting/worn out parts. I have a Yugo AK from Century and the gas tube is beyond too tight. I have to use pliers to get a good grip. But still the kids are very fast.
@@mikethompson2650 yeah, it's very loose so you can disassemble it easily, except for the cleaning rod that might be rather tricky to get out sometimes.
@@berser4ina I noticed that too, the cleaning rod caused them to struggle somewhat. Other than that, the rifle looked looser than Harvey Weinstein’s moral compass.
We were taught to pull the trigger with barrell looking into a sand box, after detaching mag and inspecting. If AK is dirty - round can get back with the bolt while you inspect the chamber and you may not see it by chance.
3:11 learned something new, about re-installing the receiver top cover. Slapping it down does not always lock everything in place and for an M1/AR guy often takes a few tries. Larry's tip to work the operating rod is foolproof first and every time.
On a zastava m70 they have a pin in the back of the receiver that you can use to hold the spring forward slightly like here and then hit the pin to release once top cover in place. Not aware of any other AK that can do that
Don’t do that recoil spring trick on an Occam Defense rifle or a Century VSKA as they both use pot metal for the action spring guides. The metal will peen on the end of the recoil spring guide, and it will have trouble fitting in the rear trunnion. A proper made AK (like this Aresenal or a IMI Galil) will work fine with this trick. Do it all the time on Galil rifles.
Yeah, I have a Yugo AK from Century. I was rather stupid about AKs, I thought that like the AR they were all mil-spec, that an AK was an AK was an AK. They were all the same. Boy did I learn a lesson when I couldn't take it apart and the seller had to give me a class. I bought some parts and learned from a gunsmith that I had some parts there were useless on my Yugo. I learned and learned fast. Still love what I call my steampunk Russian.
@@mikethompson2650 Everyone’s got to start somewhere, luckily those Yugo kit builds are often decent! And yea all the different variations can be annoying for ordering parts.
sir i want to express my gratittud for all the knolage you give to us, you dont know me but you all ready do very much for me THANK YOU and like you teach us, FIGHT cuz youre a delta the most elite figthing force on the earth
Loved the video! Thanks for the safety and cover install tips. Like you said: Always remove the mag first. Then clear the weapon. We're all praying for you, Larry.
Great video on the AK field stripping Larry! I love the M4 and the AK. I have always looked at it the same way you do Larry. The AK should have been the general GI weapon in the mainstream military and the M4 platform should have been used for more speciality career fields "spec ops" because there are more small parts that you can lose and a little bit more maintenance with the rifle. Both are accurate and reliable guns and are great fighting rifles. As always, you're the man Larry!
