About Me
My name is Brandon Herrera. I'm the owner and operator of The AK Guy Inc, a 07 Firearm Manufacturer based out of Fayetteville, NC. I also co-own Stark Media Group, and designed the rifle known as the AK-50.
I've started to dedicate this RU-vid channel above all to have fun, but also as a way to document my entrepreneurial journey for the next few years as I try to grow my companies. Hopefully, people can learn from my example, successes, and failures.
Either way, I'm having a lot of fun with it so far, and I hope it's just as fun to follow along!

@valhallah 2 года назад

This video really hit home. When I was a kid I would just stay in my room all day learning how my gun worked. Before school, handle my gun. After school, handle my gun. Before bed, handle my gun and sometimes between all these times. It drove my parents crazy. Day in and day out all I ever heard was "why are you always doing that", "do you have to make so much noise", "where are all the boxes of tissue", "did you steal my lotion again". To this day my gun holds a special place in my heart and hand. Maybe I'll make a video about it someday and post it on here to share a bit of my childhood with the world. Happy Holidays!

I used this kind of knowledge to realize that Black Ops: Cold War had some attention to detail in the campaign.

Neat little attention to detail

@wilhufftarkin8543 2 года назад

Yeah, I noticed that, too. The Americans also use M16A1s and wooden M14s in the Vietnam missions. In multiplayer, the M14s are polymer and the M16s are A2s. Yet they still screwed everything up by giving the East German soldiers in the Berlin mission MP5s with red dot sights.Why didn't they just give them AKs??

It was about a year before the Chinese firearms ban and he really wanted an AK and so he went to a gun show to look for one. He met up with a guy who traded his Polytech for my dad’s SKS that he had been wanting to get rid of because it wasn’t running right and he took the deal. To this day he has been polishing it and cleaning it at least every 2 months to keep rust off of it.

Not that anything was exclusive to them or an issue they necessarily caused… it was just a pattern I couldn’t help but notice. I ended up loving the details of building ARs.

I've got a defanged mak 90 and that thing is awesome. I have had it for years, got it from my father in law and it runs like a champ. Also got a heavy stock of Norinco 7.62 with it.

You could use this for those ever prevalent “drive by bayonetting” situations; folding it up in the front seat of your hydraulic low rider convertible Cadillac.

@gravyd316 2 года назад

I no joke have like 3 of these sitting. I thought Chinese Ak's were worthless. I'll have to reassemble the and take to the local shop. I'll put em back in legal circulation for my fellow Americans. One has a pretty long barrel and a odd scope. There's no bayonet on it but it's definitely Chinese.

If the long barrel one has a milled receiver it might be a Chinese national match AK

@JJW3 2 года назад

I love my blued-bolt NHM-90, which is basically just another flavor of MAK-90, but it thankfully had its muzzle threads under the lightly tack-welded barrel cap which made its de-ban conversion very easy.

@DaedricDrake 2 года назад

Good to see the old range again. Also kinda sad at the state of it. Could use some love and cleanup but... You have moved on to other ranges. Loved the video. Watched it with my kiddos and reminded them that gun safety is key but that their interests in firearms isn't misplaced. As long as it's done correctly you can learn how it functions safely.

@RangerRickNRA 2 года назад

I have one just like that. I bought it NIB weeks before the "assault rifle" ban. Like you, Brandon, it started my love affair with AKs.

@Nonameshame 2 года назад

I remember those rifles in Pawn shops in the 1980's going for $350-550 and they just didn't sell fast at all. Nobody wanted them. Imagine that. But I still have my Chi-Com rifles from that time period.

@hoss3433 2 года назад

Definitely don't make fun of the folding bayonet. Had one save my life one time. Very dangerous situation occurred and for some reason I had an SKS with the folding bayonet still on it and somehow I missed with the 10 rounds and ended up having to do a bayonet charge. Luckily it was only about 30 ft away. Probably the only time in the state that I live in that a bayonet charge was executed and successfully done on an evil dangerous milk jug. Good thing I got it all thanks to the bayonet that thing could have killed me LOL

@rustyshackleford7417 2 года назад

Brandon, Thank you for the information on the double folder. I too have one from my father, sadly it was inherited. My dad wasn't what you would call a gun collector. He had a few but they were mostly .22 plinkers and some inexpensive 9MM pistols. But when Mr. Bill Clinton said you won't be able to purchase a Chinese built AK-47 because of the 1994 assault weapon ban, he had to buy one! I shot it with him when I came to visit him one time. He even picked up a 50 round drum magazine, man that thing was heavy! One thing I did learn after shooting it awhile, it was best to deploy the pig sticker. If not your palm could come in contact with the folded bayonet while wrapped around the foregrip and it got quite WARM.

@bassonbikes1240 2 года назад

Such an awesome AK. I prefer shooting fixed or folding stocks over an underfolder but that is a beautiful specimen and the fact it has the sentimental attachment shows you will pass this AK on to your offspring one day. I bet out of your whole collection, this is one of your favorites!
