In this video, cleaning and lubrication of your AK-47/74 rifle is discussed. We also discuss myths about the AK rifle and the refutation of falsehoods.
Brave man cleaning an AK in a white shirt.
I used to change the oil in my truck with a white dress shirt. If you value cleanliness, it's not that difficult.
@@spencerwills6012 I don't even tear the sleeve off
yea boi
Legend Confirmed
Well he does have a man bun, so.....
40,000 rounds. God bless that little Ak's heart.
Squeeze a new barrel in, and it's good to go 🤣
Take everything you see and hear with a grain of salt
Half that is typical for 5.45x39 barrels.
@SCN with American made ak's? I think not. Saigas barely.
@SCN and especially the fact that Rifle dynamics uses button rifled barrels
I drag mine behind my car in the automatic car wash.
lmao
+Jason Hatherlee One of the best ways to get your AK to rust is to apply water to it after shooting corrosive ammo. I've found it's better to let the rifle sit around after shooting corrosive than to try to clean it with water.
+multiHappyHacker funny guy
+Jason Hatherlee Post a video of that.
+Jason Hatherlee funny shit!
Reid Henrichs is the Bob Ross of AKs
Pretty sure that's Mishaco
@@worlddomin623 mishaco fa sho, he’s even got the animals in his vids
What about Rob ski?
Thumbs up at 1:30 because "Your guns should be loaded, and if they aren't you're simply wrong!" Out-fucking-standing!
I clean my AK so deeply i do every little thing inspection. Even i use earbuds to clean unreachable place cause i love my AK.
"Necessary? No, but I do it anyway because it's sterile and I like the taste" Ha ha ha! Nicely done. You're the man.
If you can dodge a wrench you can dodge a ball 😆
Nobody can question the valor of a man who can clean a gun wearing a white shirt. Guts of steel.. (great vid!)
after I clean my AK, I like to kiss it goodnight and place it under my pillow.
Youl spoil her. Yell dirty bitch at her sometimes aye.
Electro My old lady hates when I kiss my rifle
I have right next to my bed so when I wake up I see the beauty of the fine ak47
Antonio Lopez mosin is fine too for komrades with low economical income. Rip ears tho
I don't like things under my pillow exept my bed. I just keep my AKMN were I can reach it easily if I wake up needing a gun.
Yes I know were all joking around.
"Quality wolf match grade ammo" I subscribed.
that smile you give us when something is funny is luminous enough to light up a cave. youve earned a sub. lifetime sub. keep being awesome man.
This is really excellent, thanks! I love how you cut through all the BS that we tend to see on gun channels. Either people really believe that all the products and processes are necessary, or they simply want us to buy stuff. But your approach is a breath of fresh air, Reid.
Thanks Reid - another simple, informative video, please keep em coming! I recently switched to high temp bearing grease, and at the price, its hard to beat.
I'd still recommend using oil for the trigger group, The oil's ability to migrate back to areas where it has been displaced from by mechanical action/friction is what makes it an effective lube, even if there is a bit of run-off to non-important places.
I agree with you totally a little oil on the trigger group would benefit tremendously and a little grease on that hammer face. I am also surprised he did not clean the firing pin channel. Crud can accumulate in there and you can have a non-functioning rifle quickly. But I guess we all clean our weapons our own way.
@@stevenlefebvre2991Why would you grease the hammer face? I don’t know much about guns but I can’t see an obvious reason for that.
Reid, thank you so much again! I can’t help but just smile and laugh with you. Your humor and happy positive, yet serious, attitude just makes me feel good. Another great video, I keep watching because your someone I trust. Thank you for your service.
You're doin' the Lord's work, Reid. Keep on keepin' on.
You’re in my top 2 for gun guys on RUclips. Love you’re knowledge and your attitude. Keep me coming and thanks as always for sharing your experiences
thank you for saying your gun should be loaded, my buddy asked me why the other day .... hello? My AK, AR, Glock and my 12 gauge is ready to go at all times with my bug out bag and rig.
how to clean an AK
1: bring it out back put it in the lake swish it around and youre done
If there is no time the water is the best treatment.
Fresh water is removed acid salts, mud, sand, but the water does not wash off carbon deposits. In Afghanistan, we used fresh water, mixture of gasoline and acetone. After cleaning with compressed air purged from the automotive compressor (or from car wheel) or wiped with a cloth and ... everything. 3-5 minutes and AK ready.
Grease is almost not used.
@@ole4440 ran k's thru mine, no problemo, clean, light oil, dry. clean w/lighter fluid or water. use w/ grease in very cold weather. oil for above 32 F
If it didn't smell like Hoppes #9 when I'm cleaning, it's no fun at all.
Still working on the bottle from the 70s. It's got a different smell than the new stuff. Good times.
Little dash in the morning coffee and I'm ready for the day.
Royal purple oil give off the best smell
I appreciate you, Reid. Thanks for all the knowledge and perspective you share with us. God bless you.
I like this guy.. He isn't trying to impress me. Great video.
Thank you Reid! we love your vids! Much love from Oregon! God bless you!
Only a brave man admits to never cleaning bores... I subscribed.
I was surprised you never cleaned your barrels. I was taught one must clean its barrel and this is the most important part of the weapon maintenance. But... I noticed I'm getting better and better groups out of my Mossberg MMR and I think this is not only my skill going up but some kind of barrel upgrading. Your statement my back up this theory. I'll see. I love your channel btw. Kep it up!
So cleaning the barrel isn’t necessary? I’ve only put 60 rounds through my Zastava zpap92
I've been watching your videos since you first started your channel and even watched your old ones from Yeagers channel including you edc video with your Glock 17. I can't tell you how many times I've rewatched your videos and have watched your ak vids multiple times just because. Thanks for all the great info. CLP Semper
You've got to be the most happy go lucky leatherneck I've ever seen!! Keep it up Reid, happy Veteran's day, and you'll probably be my first stop when I can afford to take some training classes
Yes sir dead on with the barrel prep and everything else you said really spot on. Loved it.
Best AK cleaning video that I've seen! Trying to make sure to set aside time from my business to join you this coming spring at Valor Ridge. God bless.
i like your vids, you are very thorough and have a great personality. keep doing what you're doing. i used this to clean my dragunov tonight. thanks again bro!
Mr.Hendricks, I hope you never tire of putting out good information to people
Always keep it loaded, and have extras around. I love this guy
Reid,
watching some of your videos convinced me it was OK to dip in the AK waters.
I just recently bought an Arsenal AK and I love it.
Can't wait to take it to the range.
I'd like to take an AK carbine class somewhere to teach me how to run mine
more efficiently.
Don't think there are any AK classes in my neck of the woods.
This is primarily AR territory.
1:20 Agree 100%. Unloaded guns are dangerous and prone to emitting "the most terrifying/annoying sound".
I probably overdo it after shooting corrosive ammo, I think it comes from aircraft maintenance background where corrosion control is a big deal. I use Ballistol/water emulsion, patch with uncut Ballistol and a blast from a 'steam shark', followed by normal cleaning.
at 11:00 minutes you spoke about not cleaning the bore.
My grandpa( who was a great
shot with a rifle) would tell any of his kids who cleaned the barrel to " shoot it clean."
Bill Blakely “your grandpa was wrong!”
@@GuitaristOnDaRoof "Your grandma was wrong"
dude great video, you had me cracking up!Your sarcasm levels are off the charts!
Grease is not good in every situation, once it gets below 20 degrees you should switch to a motor oil or motor oil gas mix if you're going to the Arctic or sub Arctic, laugh all you want at this, but I've seen m1 garands with gi issue grease frozen shut in the lower 48 before, probably won't happen in Tennessee, but for other this is a legitimate concern. Oh and the motor oil/gas mix is what the Russians have used in winter since before WWII, just a cool side note.
+P226nut I've ran my greased AK in -30ºF and had no problems.
+Win94ae Thats frigid. I used to snowmobile in that kind of temp and metal likes to break when its stressed in those conditions.
Another reason to love the AK.
+Win94ae why were you outside in -30° F ?
+P226nut cool story bro
+Tmankiller72 Some people (myself included) actually work outside in those temperatures.
This man is brilliant, he uses Grease instead of oil and never cleans the barrel. I actually learned some stuff from this video. I used grease but I didn't know if it was okay and not cleaning the barrel makes complete sense to me.
Thank you for making and sharing your videos on here.
Great !
Thank you !
I hope to see you on the Ridge one day
I have a zastava opap 7.62x39. I zeroed it out to 100yards using just iron sights and it seems to be consistent with good marksmanship. I think all the bad talking about the AK is just negative propaganda.
New to AK rifles and I am getting addicted to the simplicity of the rifle. Add zero maintenance and all the bs voodoo with custom rifles. I use it mainly for hunting and this caliber 7.62x39 is sooo dayuum underrated it’s stupid. Thanks for the cleaning video but I brush clean my barrel due to habit.
I value your knowledge. it's come in handy for me personally several times. excellent work!
really enjoyed this vid. also liked the fact it appears you were having either a really good day, or a real sarcastic day.. either one works for me. :) keep up the great vids Reid. thank you.
Hey Reid I'm a huge fan of yours, I was curious to see if you could do a video on AK sights.
Good video Reid. I've never gotten to play with an AK, and know nothing about them. Should you ever get out of your relatively warm part of the country, and are taking your rifle, remember Lubriplate. Lubriplate is a white lithium grease, that remains grease even as low as -60' thru -80'F. With temperatures that low, it will thicken up a bit, however as soon as you start making friction it starts lubricating again. I used this stuff a lot when I worked up on the North Slope in Alaska. And yes I use it on my M-1A, and my M-1 Garand. I was told by an old timer that this lubricant was developed for the M-1 Garand in Europe in the winter. I know that it worked well in Alaska. Keep up the good work.
Once again great video Reid and I live in Knoxville, I'll be signing up for Pistol Craft 1 in march.
I made the mistake of not cleaning my barrel after corrosive ammo. The next time I shot I had a bullet get stuck in the pipe. Fortunately I recognized what happened before sending another through. So, I would qualify your comment about not cleaning it with the quality ammo you are using. Good vid...great channel
One of the things I appreciate about Reid is that he is always joking. When you know you're one of the baddest dudes on the planet...and can go to work in hurry and get some shit done... you can have the confidence to joke around and be cool to people.
Thanks Reid! See ya on the Ridge!
Nice video. Interesting perspective. Thanks for making it.
Great video bro. Very informative. I live in Nashville thinking about coming to check you guy out!!!!!
Hey reid,how are you...I own a small business and am fortunate enough to travel this beautiful country on a daily basis with my 3 sons..just so you know,the first thing we do when we get to the hotel is look for your newest vid..keep up the good work brother and Thank you for taking the time to do all of these vids..
Love this video, theres a vibe that makes me think, the 'Bob Ross' of gun maintenance!
man you can never watch enough ak cleaning videos! thanks man!
Holeee cow! Your action sounds sounds really tuned and solid! Great video buddy!
Another great vidoe from Reid. thank you
I love this video and others like it. I was way over cleaning my guns. Thanks
THANK you for the Information..you had me laughing..iknow most of the topics you adress are serious in nature and content but it nice to see you have a sense of humor..SEMPRE GO and GOD BLESS
I love those Remoil wipes! For me they're a must have for my post range routine .. Also I have switched from oil to grease on both my AK and AR.. just make sure it's a high temp grease it holds up way longer. even if it's not, it just turns to an oily type substance and still lubricates.
I'm digging the dodgeball reference. Because it's sterile and I enjoy the taste. Great video, as always. Great instructional videos for those of us that are just learning. Great stuff Reid!
I like how simple it is to take apart the AK. No pins to knock out.
Thanks for another great video. Valor Ridge Rules! Thanks Reid. Your welcome in Virginia anytime my friend the door always open. Thank you for your service. I do thank God each day for this great Country and the men and women that watch over it. And my heart hurts for those we lost.
Followed vid to clean my AK yesterday (after Liberty Bell shoot that I posted last week:)--I felt like I needed someone to hold my hand to get it done right:) Anyway, excellent vid. I used gun grease this time on last three guns I cleaned due to your recommendation. I also figured out how to get my dust cover on without wacking it (I chuckled when you said that because I had always wacked mine until I figured this out (don't pres button to allow spring to seat all the way back until dust cover is in place--worked for me...didn't need need to wack it this time:). Thx again.
I'm using that same cleaner, break free clp right now. It's pretty good I like the foaming action
dont clean ur barrel!? mind blown...
And the groups keep getting tighter ? I really like this guy but I clean barrels.
@@claudiodominguez1334 i bet you do ;)
@@RekzysTheTitan Cleanliness is next to Godliness +
@@claudiodominguez1334 hey I got a brown barrel you can clean if you want?
@@claudiodominguez1334 I think it depends on what barrel you have. I don't have a chrome lined barrel. Mine has an uncoated 4140 barrel, so I clean it like any raw steel barrel.
Thank you for the videos... Some of the best in you tube...🙂
You make great videos, keep up the great work. This 11:16 is one of my favorite parts of the videos.
Nice Patches O'Hoolihan reference
and nice ending
"If you can dodge a 7.62, you can dodge a ball!"
I use vodka.
Cheers Reid. Good video and enjoyed the humour.
Semper Fi brother! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks for the upload. subscribed.
Just subbed, great channel & content!! 👍
"I like the taste and it's sterile!"
I lost it dude.
You should do a video on the frequency of cleaning your guns, I encounter people frequently who clean their guns every time they shoot them, and they average 100 rds a range trip, I'm a 1000-3000 depending on the gun and the quality of ammo advocate, also love the statement about cleaning the bore, I agree so much lol.
I clean my guns even if I’ve only shot one round I like doing it and I like having extremely clean guns
Just saw the ending haha. That was awesome.
I usually just take it apart and put it through the rinse cycle in the dishwasher. Then blow dry and spray down with rem oil, lube the rails with bacon grease.... Very pleased with how it runs.
RIED!!!!!!! Please do another video on why you dont clean the bores!
Thanks 4 sharing...keep the vids coming
finally some validation on how cleaning the bore is way overrated. Thanks, brother.
Awesome vids man
U know what Reid, I like u and I like ur channel. subbed.
Nice man bun thanks for the info
Reid have u ever put a buffer piece on the spring I got one on my draco and it feels awesome, shoots way smoother. But your an ak dude u probably already knew that. Cool vids man 👍🏽👍🏽
Thank you very much for the video sir and thank you most for my freedom! Do you use grease for your handguns as well?
Love the ending bonus material! 😂
Great video as always Ried, I look forward to them. I have had a question for a while, and I bet you have a good answer. I've seen a ton of AR and AK and even m1a videos, but what do you think about the g3 clones like the PTR91?
Pretty good highlight at the end !
Outstanding, be blessed younger brother.
super presentation. Nice job
@Reid Henrichs - Fantastic video Reid. One of these days, me and my Vepr are coming to TN for a class!
I did not know it was that easy to clean and lube the AK.
Thanks, Reid.
Great video. It would be awesome to see a few videos proving the 300-600m shots with an AK! That or just more AK videos in general haha.
Very helpful information!
Great video sir. I liked the part about you not cleaning g the barell. I was curious what brand rifle that is and if it has a chrome lined barbell or not.
Thank you again.
3:55, "This should flex." Thank you for answering my question. Also, at the firing range, they test ammunition by putting the bullet next to a magnet, if it attracts to the magnet, you can't shoot that ammunition. What 7.62 x 39 ammunition can I buy that will pass this range test? (Won't stick to the magnet and is recognized as outdoor range safe) Great video.
Keep a strong heart Reid
Found This Video Very Useful, Thank You.
Very good video. Thanks
