    Cool Forgotten Weapons merch! shop.forgottenweapons.com
    Since you all seemed to enjoy the first installment in the series, today we have another of Ian's Customs...
    This is my "Krinkov" - not a proper name for a short-barreled factory AK (the AKS-74U, specifically), but a word that I think fits this gun just fine. It is a registered SBR that I put together myself about 10 years ago using a Nodak Spud receiver, Romanian "G" kit, cheap-o Chinese airgun stock, and a new set of front end parts. It has a barrel just 9.5 inches long, poorly set rivets, a kludged rear trunnion, and requires one of the recoil buffer plugs to keep the bolt carrier from jumping off its tracks. But it's my first NFA item, and for all its awfulness I really like it.

    This brings to mind a gun I encountered some years ago. A previous owner had attempted to make a 'scout' rifle,...out of a .30-06-chambered '98K. It had a barrel of about 16" and the stock was shortened and pared down a bit, as well. It weighed about 5-6 pounds and when you fired it a fireball the size of a pumpkin popped out of the barrel, followed by leaves and twigs 10-15 feet downrange dancing in the muzzle blast. I fired it exactly once.

    Fun fact: other than “soochka” (“little b**ch”), another common nickname for short AKs is “Ksyuha” - short for “Kseniya”, a female name. I guess, whichever is used both depends on and is indicative of how someone feels about the gun: hateful or affectionate.

      (With the night stage, the camera is gonna be auto-setting its shutter speed / exposure time to be a fair bit slower/longer than in daytime so that it can collect more light from the generally dim scene; and as a side effect of that, the chance of the image sensor actually catching the muzzle flash during any given video frame’s exposure time window is much higher than it is with the faster/shorter daylight exposure auto settings. That’s at least my somewhat-educated understanding of what’s probably going on with the difference between how often you catch the muzzle flash in the day footage vs the night footage.)

I work in a gun store in Poland so sometimes I get some old surpluss firearms that are too messed up for sale, and that's also why I'm using Polish parts, it's much easier to get the regional product...

    It makes me really happy Ian and I have the same taste in guns. I'd just finished BMT when I picked up a Zastava M85 because I wanted a shorty in 5.56. Now I'm thinking I need a few more 20 round mags for her.

      Just remove the pins from a couple and hide them under your floorboards. You might need longer springs too.

    Even the camera seemed to pick up the muzzle flashes in daylight very well.
    This might be a weird contraption but as you stated it was one of your first projects and it works. When something has only one of these properties: nostalgic value, it works, is fun to use, it's interesting in some way then it is worth keeping around in my opinion. Yours hit more than a few of those which I'd say is good for a first serious project, nice that the folding stock held up that well in use over the years.

    Ian your rivets look just fine. I build and work on ak's professionally and I can say that those rear rivets are a pain in the ass to make look good. What helps is to paint over them. Rivets dont have to look perfect to get the job done. I've seen plenty of factory guns that look worse than your rivets.

    • @ScottKenny1978
      @ScottKenny1978 2 года назад +2

      Yup. As long as there's zero motion, we're good even for aircraft. Though aircraft mechanics do tend to be OCD about their rivets, the spec is pretty lax.

    On my original BRN-180 I wanted to add a folding stock and ended up using an air-gun stock folding mechanism. I'm not sure it would have worked out with an actual AR but for the BRN where there was no need for a recoil assembly in the tube it worked absolutely fine. To quote the movie Apollo 13: "I don't care about what anything was DESIGNED to do, I care about what it CAN do."

      Most people don't bother with 922r anyway. It's mostly the big builder-shops who have to worry about that, pretty sure the ATF has bigger fish to fry than making sure your trigger is a shitty Tapco.

      @@lucassolomon1079 eh, I made my PSL 922r compliant (IIRC) because I planned on competing with it, it was fairly simple and all modifications I wanted/needed anyways. New trigger because the original was gritty and nasty, new stock because the original was way too short. And that made 6 pieces out of the 16 on the list. I think I would have made some new floor plates for the magazines, on general principles. Would have been trivial.
