I truly enjoy your videos and watch them multiple times each. Ill wake up and be getting ready for work and be like it's story time. Turn on Misha. And when I get home its the same. Ive always loved history and firearms and you Sir do a great job combining the two.
Mr. Kalashnikov would be proud of you knowing the history of his design. The AK pattern rifle (Ak-47, AKM, AK-74) is the best there is in my opinion. I swing both ways I own multiple AR-15's and love them but there is something i can't explain about my AK's that makes me love them more.
I love going back and listening to you talk about the history of various AK derivatives. That being said I think it's interesting that this video is 4 years old and you made a statement about the AK kind of being dead in the dirt when it comes to current manufacturing of it. It does make me wonder how long the platform will stay around in even my own lifetime. It sure doesn't look like Russia is trying to do anything too new seeing as they're basically sticking with the platform but modernizing it. Personally I would not want to see this go by the wayside. It's such a great platform, I'll be it with some modern shortcomings compared with other platforms that have had the opportunity to work around modern optics and tools.
dude, just got off work and hit the couch and saw this vid. DAmn you made my day. i love you brochacho. i hope you know just how much the ak community appreciates you. i try to share just about every ak video you make to all my Facebook ak groups. youve got quite the following from a bunch of us. we all love your content. id love to talk history with you sometime. have a good evening brother.
hey mishaco and the rest of you guys who got underfolder stocks something i've done to my yugo m-70 ab opap underfolder stock butt plate was fix that annoying issue of the little bump stop tab on inside of butt plate that rubs and rattles against the lower hand guard scratching hell out of the finish or denting the wood even by placing a rubber automotive 5/16 inch vacuum port cap cut down a bit shorter on its length and with a few drops of oil inside of it to make slipping on tab easier and helps keeps the rust out too. now shes all tight and no more rattle or scratches
Excellent vid once again Mishap!! You are absolutely correct. The Maadis and the Romaian SAR-1s are the closest we have ever gotten to having a true Soviet pattern AKM come into the country. Excellent guns!!.
Hey Mishaco thank you for the education on the AKM’s. My question is which country first starter using the Palm Swell hand guards ?Once again thank you for taking the time to take us all to school.
"So yes, because the ATF mandates that we don't have that piece in our AK's, they are just that little bit less safe." =-) Another great AK history lesson Mischa!
Standard Egyptian AKM pattern laminated. The Soviets set up the Egyptian Maadi factory in Cairo in the 1960's as they did in virtually all Soviet Bloc countries (Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, East Germany, etc.). The early Egyptian Maadi AKM rifles are very nice quality compared to the later thumbhole stock junk from the 1990's. Those guns have very rough machining and gloppy painted finishes.

Thank you much for watching. Simple & no-frills, yep I like both the ARM and SAR1 a lot just for what they are.

Love the wasr underfolder, I lucked into one of those a couple years back for cheap. My favorite all around AK. Thanks for sharing the vast knowledge.
Yes, it is a neat variant. Thanks for watching.
Love these videos. Always comprehensive and interesting
I waited all week for this. It was worth the wait.
Thanks much. Glad it wasn't a disappointment either heh. 3 more parts to go....at least...
That Egyptian Maadi makes me a little jealous Misha. I love it
"So yes, because the ATF mandates that we don't have that piece in our AK's, they are just that little bit less safe." =-) Another great AK history lesson Mischa!
41:00 Huh, new polymer type ones being cheaper-at least in smaller batches-to produce than the AKM. I never thought about it that way. :)
Another great video. Thanks!
Very thorough, can't stop watching your videos.
Great video Misha!
Thanks...some of my absolute favorite AKs in this one, mainly the SAR-1 and Maadi. The WASR-UF gets a lot of cool points too though.
Ozark Bear Arms Haha, Maadi and sar is where it's at!
Detailed review 👌.
Love your work, incredibly knowledgable.
Thank you much,
Another awesome video. Cant wait for the RPK edition.
Thanks much for watching. The RPK video is coming soon. It is Part IV.
Quickly becoming one of my favorite channels, great job and info Mischa.
Thank you very much.
Looking forward to your RPK vids
How how how does this channel only have 54k subs he’s like forgotten weapons but just for AKs
I'm new the channel and AKs, these videos have been very insightful and full of knowledge. Thank you
Go buy some Arsenals
Dude,you are an AK Guru,you should write a book
Did the Chinese Type 56 guns include the AKM rate reducer when they went from milled to stamped?
Awesome as usual.
Just a quick question, does the russian furniture work on the Romania AK Just bought a BFPU FROM Atlantic
Sure, pretty much all AKM furniture is interechangeable.
The biggest one to watch out for is Yugoslavian furniture. They do their own thing kind of.
yes it does.
What kind of stock set do you have on the AK you're holding in the beginning?
Standard Egyptian AKM pattern laminated. The Soviets set up the Egyptian Maadi factory in Cairo in the 1960's as they did in virtually all Soviet Bloc countries (Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, East Germany, etc.).
