So I ended up getting this rifle cause of this video and I’m happy I did. I think I got really lucky but right out of the box it was zeroed in almost spot on. No failures no issues just fun shooting. When I put 1,2,3000 etc rounds through it I’m thinking of posting a video on it.
TAG97 Yeah... out of the box it failed miserably. Couldnt get past 20 rounds. After taking it back to the store, The gunsmith inspected it. It had a bad extractor. Out of spec possibly causing the rifle to be out of headspace. The bolt was usable but in bad shape and the magazine well tolerance was too tight. No mags would fit other than a Pmag. Put these 3 together and I got nothing but jams, double feeds, failure to feed, stove pipes every singe cycle of the bolt. Had to send it back. Rileys Customer service is phenomenal tho. They answer any and all emails. Stay in touch and even call you to assure it will be taken care of. The Riley Defense rep even said he would include a tactical muzzle brake, cleaning kit and a few extra mags for the troubles. I should be getting it back in a few days. We’ll see...
0Rockstar7 Wow, that’s crappy as can be... I’m sorry to hear that happened to you. Mine is sold af and never even had anything that bad. Keep me updated brother. That’s just crazy 🤯
TAG97 you sold yours? Yeah I’m making a video on this experience once I get it back tomorrow or friday. I am bummed out. Brand new rifle. 2020 production and couldnt get thru 20 rounds. Failed to mention that I stopped after a casing got stuck in the chamber. Like I said, it was catastrophic. Riley seems to really push customer satisfaction. They emailed me a video of my rifle shooting it at their facility after all the new parts and repairs done. And it is running perfectly. I hope that is the case...
My older videos are so cringe to me lol. I appreciate your feedback nevertheless bro, check out my “newer” review of the AK74 I did… about a year ago. You can tell the how much the channel has improved. Link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-b_PHUEkEMUw.html
also had to comment again here, really liked your review on the rak, would love to see a follow up of your experience with it and how it performs. maybe a 1000 round or 2000 round review
Gwiffer Most likely since I’ve hit 3,000 rounds with my Radical Firearm, last time I shot it. So it shouldn’t be a problem, I have about 13 different firearms I have to still do a review on... Stay tune for more upcoming videos. Don’t forget to follow my Instagram for updates about the channel. 🇺🇸
@@DesertTactical very solid and reliable weapon. I’m very happy I purchased it. I’ve shot over 2,000 rounds since I’ve bought it and has not jammed once. My friends all like the aesthetics of the wood. 9/10 I recommend it.
I appreciate the feedback and kind words brother. I highly recommend watching some of my newer content since this is “older”. I did recently purchased the AK74 from Riley Defense. Just waiting on shipping. Texas has been hit with a “severe weather issue” and all the packaging companies can’t do anything at this time. 💯🤙
I'm glad to see that people are still giving the RAK47 a chance. After AKOU and other weapon reviewers made their test people kind of abandoned Riley. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to see how your rifle holds up.
Absolutely, the channel has a lot more in stored. Make sure to subscribe and stick around to see more content like this. Appreciate the feed back of course 🇺🇸
Actually, AKOU stopped testing because the rifle they got was a rushed modgepodge version that riley took off the shelf and are now testing their newer line. To include their ak74 (5.45 caliber) rifle. So AKOU is actually pretty hopeful with riley. And NutNFancy fuckin loves thebriley defense rifles. And 704 tactical loves his. But yeah they surely took a hit with sales because of the AKOU having to stop testing.
Hey brother. Another army vet here (grunt life) I just picked this same gun up today and let me tell you what... everything about this gun is tight and stiff lol. I guess it’s better than loose and junky but what a masterpiece it is. Beautiful gun.
I sent my RAK47 back for canted sights among some other mainly cosmetic quirks and they made no comment about what they did but I got it back with RPK leaf sights lol wtf..functionally, the gun has been 100% reliable.
@Tag97 do you shoot with both eyes open or just one. It’s hard for me to shoot with both eyes open, I mean I obviously move around with both eyes open lol but when I’m shooting I close my non dominent eye.
So it really depends for me. Not many people realize that I actually need to wear prescription glasses when I shoot. Most of time I’m actually shooting blind, but I’m still hitting the target lol. I normally slightly squint my left eye when shooting but I can do both.
Oh okay man, well sorry to hear that, do you think it’s a real disadvantage to shoot with one eye closed or to squint one eye? It’s just hard for me to be accurate shooting with both eyes open. I mean I’m sure lots of people do it but it’s kinda weird to me.
The grouping was at 25m and was good. If you check my Instagram you’ll see the picture for it. Also, don’t forget to subscribe. Please and thank you 🇺🇸
just ordered the tactical version, should come in sometime this week. also im pretty sure this dude TheComicalCanadian is botting comments...he just did the same to my video
Mine is the same way. , got mine yesterday and was looking at the vids 4 this platform cause I thought I was taking it off wrong. The front sight still wont move and I haven't adjusted it yet.
You’ll need a special tool to use for the front sight. I bought mine off of Midway USA www.midwayusa.com/product/1007106641 This is the same one I have and use.
I’m glad I made you laugh 😂 I’ll be doing a Hi-Point torture test in the next few weeks. If you subscribe you won’t miss it 🇺🇸 Also, to get more updates I have my Instagram “__tag97” I look forward to having you as my follower 🇺🇸
Because why not? There is nothing wrong with that at all. Who cares about what other people do, long as they are having fun and enjoying time at the range, that’s all that matters. If you can shoot at 500m with it, cool good for you. I was just going over what the specs say 🇺🇸
Ouch, that’s way higher then I paid. Must be because of supply and demand. Best of luck with your purchase, and hope it all works out well. Good luck brother💯🤙
