That PLO kit is sweet, my best example of a Type 3 is my Hungarian AK55, pretty much the only way to an authentic T3 these days now that the PLO stuff (and even old Bulgarian kits) is long gone.
Thanks much for watching & trying hard to come up with new stuff to talk about. The fact its 200 degrees outside right now does put a bit of a hold on more shooting for the moment though! hehe
Dear Mishaco, here’s the one gun that doesn’t have its in-depth history featured on YT, and it’s a special request episode because the history behind that gun is super interesting and fascinating. That one gun is the FN Minimi, commonly known as the M249 SAW, and your best bet is just to feature a semi-auto one, so we can one day have an in-depth history episode of the FN Minimi.
Its cool you throw the valmets in there to keep people informed on it most people have never heard or seen one. O yea been meaning to ask you where did you get those hundguards on your Bulgarian??? What are they called?? Id like to pick up a set for mine
First here my guy! Chinese 56 is my favorite of these then the Valmet. I’ll tell you right now I plan on dropping whatever takes to get an original Type 56S at some point.
Thanks for the video. Interesting as always. Like the polish the best I think. Hungarian is next. Valletta will probably never happen for me but never know...
It will never get old comparing the same old rifle if all the internal parts are basically the same ,different wood or bluing swing swivel doesn’t really make them a different variant,it would be the same as to M4s but they have different stocks
Like any other wasr it's about individual quality you could run into a huge piece of junk or it might be a nice shooter but the 9mm is definitely a mutt I would be careful spending money on that
@@jackcraven7979 I've got the pak-9 which is basically the same, a Romanian 9mm ak pistol. I've had good luck with mine and u can't beat it for the price of $550-600
It stands to reason that AK variants from different nations would have variations in the wood furniture. The machined or stamped metal components are more functionally critical in material and tolerances. The wood furniture components are less critical and local sourcing, manufacturing and finishing would be far more efficient. These are made to be mass produced military firearms so I wouldn’t discount the Chinese guns as being inferior Russian clones rather they are more authentic Chinese military guns.
When KFS/PT created the Legend, their goal was to make a Russian style gun more than Chinese. One little piece of evidence for this is the markings on the rear sight. They are Soviet style and not PLA. Not a big deal but i do like pointing out little tid bits of info. The Legend isn't inferior in terms of quality, it is imply not an exact Type III copy....and that's totally ok. Neither is the SA93.
@@misha5670 I acquiesce to your superior AK knowledge. Actually I know very little about AK’s and am constantly confused by their designations. Your channel is great in illuminating that stuff for me. Currently I only have access to the Chinese Type 81’s built by Norinco for the civilian market so that is the limit of my personal exposure to this type of firearm but I enjoy shooting those.
@@misha5670 it made it look like I won something by commenting on your video then it asked me to send a screen shot of that to a phone number so I did that then somebody started texting me back saying that they were you and I won an AK-47 so then they asked for FFL and an address then they tell me it's going to cost about $150 for shipping
So I started asking questions that you know the answer to and this butt hole didn't know the answers so I said this is a scam and they actually tried to argue with me saying they were you
Gotta be skeptical online. a lot of bots on youtube these days. Plus again, how could I text and if you were to look, you would have seen the same scam reply on several other people's responses. Problem is now those scammers have your phone number.
@@chicorodriguez3964 - that’s the yt scam/spam. I have see of them on many channels. I’m not kidding, but I already got ten of these messages. What I have noticed is that thr profile of the bots would have the same names as the scree name of the channel to Make it seem more Authentic.
lol if you only knew me in life, you would know why that is kind of funny. I'd be happy to meet you and talk with you, and happy to do a handshake, but..I have a thing against touching. It makes me uncomfortable. Its a thing since i was a child. Truth is, if i were to be tested, I am probably a bit on the spectrum but that's ok. I've learned to live life greatly and be myself. Just not a very physically affectionate person is all! hehe
If "Russian Red" is a story for another day, I'd love to see a video dealing with just the furniture. Shellac vs oil, laminate vs hardwood etc...
That's definitely possible.
I really enjoy these AK videos, especially when you cover the early imports. Keep them coming!
misha you always kill it with the niche content i love
Love the cat in background. I just subscribed an been a fan 4 ever. Thanks 4 doing this video an sharing it.
Thank you, several 'new' guns coming but while those videos are being edited, i like doing ones like this to keep things moving.
Thanks for another great video!

The Shooting Part Is My Favorite Misha When You Show And Talk About The Rifle And Specs Then Actually Go Shoot Them Thank You For That 😊😀🔥😎
I love this channel so much. I'm grateful for Misha sharing his wealth of knowledge, and the others who make this content possible
Thanks much for watching & trying hard to come up with new stuff to talk about. The fact its 200 degrees outside right now does put a bit of a hold on more shooting for the moment though! hehe
Amazing collection. I’m looking at my buddies milled Ak. Really like the early stuff.
Great content, thank you!

It’s not ak though
If i get in a semi M249? sure. I've had them here a couple times in the past but they sold far too fast to make a video with.
Such good content!
Wow such a gem.
Another great video!!!!!
thank you
@@misha5670 no thank you ! I am forever thankful for you introducing me to the Ak platform !
I love AKs. Wish I had started collecting way sooner. I don't think I could pick a favorite. Really like that M78 firing clip you rolled in there too
For milled guns i didn't put on the table in this video, i looked for shooting clips of them so they would get some inclusion too.

I have the baklite sidefolder love it
You showed a WBP Jack milled pistol. Would converting that to a rifle be too involved?
Might want to just wait to see if a milled rifle gets imported?
I have an early model colt SP1 with a retro optic for trade for a milled AK
Ive got one of those magazines i trade a Japanese dress sword for it a gun show i was really hung over had to have it.
Sorry, one of which magazine?
@@misha5670 that slab sided first original magazine, that looks different
Thanks for the video. Interesting as always. Like the polish the best I think. Hungarian is next. Valletta will probably never happen for me but never know...
What is your opinion on the RAK-47 from Riley defense. Also thank you for this great content.
I wouldn't mind having that 555 serial number arsenal ak. Lmk if you want to sell it
It will never get old comparing the same old rifle if all the internal parts are basically the same ,different wood or bluing swing swivel doesn’t really make them a different variant,it would be the same as to M4s but they have different stocks
Agreed, it never gets old and is always fun.
@@misha5670 a video on grip screw variations would be cool
@@MW-qr9hk Hey, one thing all adults can agree on...we all like screwing.
Anyone here have opinion on wasr m 9mm? I think it's a good compromise between affordable & traditional ak
Like any other wasr it's about individual quality you could run into a huge piece of junk or it might be a nice shooter but the 9mm is definitely a mutt I would be careful spending money on that

how many milled guns were actually produced per country?
Really? I don't know. I doubt anyone really does. China in particular built a lot and didn't bother keeping records.
@@misha5670 not even a personal guestimate?
Gotta love spell check that's Valmet
