Holy crap, Larry is looking great! Good on him.
Why you two dont have a podcast together or do this weekly is beyond me. Excellent chemistry and some of the deepest gun knowledge on the planet. More of these collabs please!
Larry's reaction to when Ian asked him about the AK107, speaks very highly of the 107.
I think Larry is preparing to deploy again lol.
Still remember the look on Larry's face after shooting that 107. " Yes"!!!!!!" That was Awesome "
great info as always!
Wow, he has lost so much weight! That's great!!!
I'd like to see the class where they try to teach recruits how to disassemble and do maintenance on the AN-94.
Damn, I want this book. Larry V is lookin like a brand new operator in this vid.
Russians usually say, that SKS was a backup, a "plan B", an insurance in case if the idea of an assault rifle - AK doesn't take off. Besides SKS used proven technologies, while stamping used on AK was still brand new back then.
I'm glad that Larry lost some weight, I myself gained a lot of pounds when I left the army 15 years
Larry and Ian can read the dictionary and i'd still be fascinated
I love this book so much! I'm a massive AK fan and I can't wait for more. But, this book is top notch with a lot of excellent information and fantastic super rare photos. The entire team that put this book together did an unbelievable job! The other Vickers Guide books are awesome too but this one is my favorite so far.
Larry, my wife didn’t even recognize you. She said, “That’s Larry Vickers? Did he lose a ton of weight?” She thought you were some “young man.” My wife is 33. That must make you feel good.
I love seeing Larry and Ian do these videos ad I very much appreciate the sense of respect between the two even with their different backgrounds. Sometimes, guys who've been in these special team roles will have a bit of a chip on their shoulder regarding non-veteran shooters but Larry treats Ian, deservedly so, like a peer, and Ian clearly is eager to hear and learn from Larry background and wealth of experience as well. Just two great sources of information sharing their passion for engineering, learning and shooting and we all get to come along and reap the rewards of such a meeting of the minds as it were. Great content as always Ian, much thanks for what you do and much thanks to Larry Vickers for all he's done for the shooting community and showing us interesting things the average shooter doesn't get to see.
Keep these Q&A coming can listen to them all day.
Larry Vickers is a boss. I want to make it clear that I love him on this channel doing these Q&As and other videos. Please do more.
I can't wait until the next Q&A this is some very interesting stuff from Ian and Larry. I always enjoy the different points of view and the natural unedited nature of these Q&As
You are winning at life Ian. Side note: Larry Vickers is becoming one of my favorite people by showing up here so often. Looking forward to the future collaborations between the two of you. Cheers from Colorado, gentlemen!
Youre really looking great Larry. Awesome to see you doing so well
