All of you that have access to an outdoor range, take a moment and have some gratitude for that. It really sucks living nowhere near one
My outdoor range is in rural Nevada (BLM Lands) and don't cost me to shoot there.
I feel your pain. I once lived in the Banana Republic of California and I had to drive over an hour to one of my friend's private property to shoot the AK and AR.
I can’t afford to shoot at the indoor ranges anymore!! Prices for a bay , are ridiculous
my backyard is mine. they need to stop building housing developments near me.
I have to drive an hour to get to a public outdoor range, Kinda sucks, but on the plus side the tourists and dumber city dwellers don't crowd it out on the weekdays, at least.
As a country boy with no military experience, there is something about the simplicity of the AK that gives me comfort.
I think on the front sight windage adjustment it's easier to say you move the sight towards your impacts. Hitting left? Move the sight to the left. Thanks again for another video Klay!
Right on
Chase the shot
Yes!!!! I always liked it when they tell this in videos
@@KLAYCO47any tips for a 50 yard zero? Don’t have any 25 yards range near by
1mm adjustment at the sight, is about 14 inches at 100meters
You killed it brother, as a old Marine that used the AR platform most of my life ,you answered most of my questions about getting into the AK .
I think I've said it before but I will say it again... Thanks Mr. Klay for doing solid education and all-around love for the Kalash. Once you dig into an AK and not just write it off (as most American shooters do) - you get hooked. It's just a fantastic rifle that represents utter perfection for it's goal.
Exactly bro Fr Based
You are describing myself. Definitely good to learn how to use another tool. That's how I look at it.
I’ve got many years on AK and AKS platforms, and I thought this video was a very good introduction for new shooters of these platforms. And it was a good reminder for me to reach out to newbies at the range to make sure if they have questions they feel comfortable asking around.
Yeah man that's a great point. Ak's can be pretty overwhelming for people just getting into them. It's good for the guys that have been in the game for a while to offer help.
I found a nasty metal shaving in the receiver of my new zastava m70. Nothing scrathed on gun. Was probably just from manufacturing. But always tear down a new gun before firing. So glad i did!
I’ve been shooting and collecting AKs for years but I absolutely love “back to basic” videos. Excellent content!
Klay I really like what you’re doing for the Ak community . Keep doing great things
I've been shooting a while now, a long while and I appreciate an instructor that makes things simple and clear and can skillfully give memory hooks. This video does that. Nice job.
Like what you do an how you say it, straight to the point 👉😊
Great video would love to see you add onto this and go over basic upgrades like slings, light mounts, optic mounts and maybe trigger upgrades.
Awesome input I definitely want to put something like that together.
Appreciate it Klay. Very informative.👌
Love this type of content.
I just love "back to basics" videos. That's the meat and potatoes of owning an AK. You are an AK expert!
I'm glad you are still releasing videos. Each one has been SUPER informative and interesting.
My first fighting rifle was an AK i bought back about 8 years ago when i was 20 and while ive learned alot and dont consider myself new to the platform especially after owning so many since then, i love watching beginner guides and seeing how these videos get better and easier to understand ober the years for said beginners. Great video. Alot of common sense answers but definitely worth its weight in gold. I would say for a video about advanced iron sight shooting, it would be worth it to talk about resting the entire front sight on top of the rear for very close ranges. I think that would have a practical use for guys in iron sight division in competitions.
My 10/63 has romy G furniture with a Chinese grater and a combloc PK-A sight on it(sling and light too of course) and while it a vibe(bit heavy of a vibe lol), there is just something so beautiful about just a standard AK that makes me wanna take all of it off and run it slick again.
How many fights have you been in with your fighting rifle.
A nice thorough and calm presentation. You are a good teacher .
Another solid video Klay. Earlier this year I took my Romy G back to stock, had a US made barrel put in to ensure I could mount my Sandman-S, has the KNS piston. Love that gun so much more now. I redid all the furniture myself and I'm pretty proud of how it came out.
When it comes to AK videos you are the man!!! My first rifle was an ak and believe it or not it was a Norinco that I bought for $400. Can’t do that anymore. Hopefully one day we will meet. Happy New Year and many more to come. Be BLESSED and not STRESSED!!!!
I didnt just buy my first, I own 7 but I'm watching because I really like your videos. Underrated guntube channel.
Been an AK owner for like 2 years now and just havent had the chance to get much range time with it, though I love the platform and round, pls keep these vids for us noobs coming, some of that was some great info Ive not come across despite watching a million AK vids and reading tons on the platform
Great job brother on the video. I’ve been shooting and building AK’s for over a decade now but really enjoyed this video. It’s good to see new people drumming up interest for AK’s because more people need to learn how to operate and maintain these awesome machines. When you factor in the history and nuances of the different countries that made them, there is a lot to learn and potentially collect.
Keep up the great work !!!
Awesome video Man. Very clear and easy to understand for a beginner. Wish there had been more videos like this back in the day. You are the guy who got me into AKs back in 19 man. I saw you Galil Ace rock n lock and I was like” what is that? I need one! I’ve enjoyed all of your content since man. Thanks for all you do
🤜🤛
I think this is a must needed video for a lot of the newer guys out there. I learned alone, on my own and man has it been a rough road! Looking back on it and watching this video, I would have progressed so much faster for sure! The sight block got me... I also had an over gassed rifle sent to me, and man I pissed off some elder gentlemen my first day out. I dumped an entire magazine about 20 feet down the range table just pelting them all with steel cases... I highly suggest the hockey net style brass catcher out there to the new guys! Whether you make one or buy one, keep a spare on hand! Thankfully though, they were cool and after I had shot the magazine, they grabbed my shoulder and presented me with one. Phew, what an embarrassing encounter! Don't be that guy! Soon after I learned about gas adjustment, which became my first modification. Great lesson learned!
Great info, thanks. +1 for the after market mag latch. I have a 74 that would not feed properly, changed the mag latch and it runs 100% now.
Ive been bingeing your content for the last week after finding you while doing research before buying my first AK. This video couldnt have come out at a better time for me. Thank you for all the high quality and informative content. Especially on the 556 caliber ak's. Its very appreciated!
🤜🤛
How far away is it safe to shoot steel with aks? 50 yrds?@@KLAYCO47
Great video, man! I appreciate these detailed yet beginner friendly videos.
as a brand new owner i had to come say thanks and subscribe taught me alot of things i didn’t know for example indoors not being welcome of 7.62 i feel more confident about my purchase after this 🤘🏽love from texas
🤜🤛
The best AK channel out there. Tremendous work.
This was super informative. The beauty of the AK is it’s simplicity, your zeroing tip really convinced me to buy one. I hope to get a zastava but I really love the plum colored wood furniture look
Can't go wrong with a Z-Pap M-70. Zastava has a great AK, they are a bit beefier than the average AK, and seem heavier than most others. But they are SOLID! You won't be disappointed.
"We dont do paid adds for ball bag razors" 😂 liked
This was one of your best videos so far. I learned quite a bit from this video. Thank you.
Excellent video explaining the foundation for folks new to AKs to get started.
The safety adjustment advice at the beginning of the video just made my VSKA so much more friendly to own! Thank you!
A shop a little over an hour away from me thankfully lets me take AK's apart, check mag fitment, do an overall thorough inspection and I'm greatful for it. In my area there are mostly less than optimal AK's available. But that one small shop gets the good stuff. Love the content of your channel, great way to pass time when I'm cleaning or swapping some accessories around on my AK's! And thanks to you I will be sending one of my AK's to M13 Industries in the near future, what a great recommendation. They do incredible work.
You’re the reason I bought my M90 and I couldn’t be happier! I’m about so switch from ARs to AKs entirely because of you
This is the best and most simple beginner ak video I've seen. Keep it up fam 💪
I would love to see a video going over some options for a first time ak buyer. what to look for and what to stay away from, maybe some good budget options and some good collector worthy options. Thanks for the awesome video’s
Might also want to check out AK operators union.
Followed your method of zeroing your AK and let me tell you it is just so much easier. Not much to think about once it's done.
Great video! Super helpful. Looking forward to the videos you mentioned. Maybe also a video on proper maintenance after those.
Love your content and passion for AK's and firearms in general.
This is great info. You got me into the ak platform couple years ago and love it.
Solid advice. Your videos are what got me into competition shooting
I'd be lying if I said I didn't learn alot from these videos over the years...Especially how to speed up my reloads!! 🤜🤛
Those M+M mag catches are 🔥… I bought one 2-3-ish years ago and I’ve been putting them in all my kit builds since.
Gawd Dayum that was Direct ( no fluff) and so Simple that a Caveman could Understand it, then become proficient with his Weapon. Awesome Job Buddy. Awesome.
Good 101 for beginners.
Keep em coming my man! 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video. Really like the information. These kind of videos are really appreciated. Keep them coming. Thanks
Thanks for dropping some gems. I'm looking to get an AK and don't know much about them. This was very helpful
Always great advice Klaco, you're a great instructor!
One little tip..if you want bolt hold open after the last round, get surplus Yugoslavia mags. They have a BHO built into the magazine. They may need some fitment, but there solid. Just take your time with a file, not a dremal.
Or pull a wasr trick if you have a wasr.
Nice introduction video covering the basics of AK ownership and earned my subscription. I bought my AK about 7 years ago when it was hard to find decent ones in stock. There was a local company manufacturing them at the time who sold through a well known on-line AK distributor but it seemed they were always out of stock. I resorted to looking up their address and actually visiting the factory. They had a small business office in front with some rifles on display. The chief production engineer came out and greeted me. After telling him of my interest in purchasing a rifle, he went back and selected one out of production and sold it to me. The owner came out and introduced herself and explained the lifetime warranty. This rifle was spot on out of production and all I've added is a sling, red dot and more mags. It may have been my best gun purchasing experience so far and the AK is very fun to shoot and one of my favorite rifles.
Just got a WBP Jack Rifle and it surprisingly didnt even need zeroed in out of the box, definitely a pleasant experience so far!
Thanks for making this video. Looking forward to more in this series. Would love to see how much accuracy we can get from our AKs beyond 100 yards as I'm in a place I can hunt with mine.
I’m not a newbie but newer with AK’s!! great to the point explanations
Klay the instructor! Fantastic stuff
Great video! concise and informative. One thing to keep in mind if you're going to adjust your safety, make sure you're unloaded with a dead hammer. When you rotate the safety upwards the hammer will drop.
I recently got a zastava m70 and i love it
Great video as always Klayco
Another great video. Not sure how I didn’t find your channel and sub till recently.
I remember some years ago now buying 8 Bakelite mags for $25 a piece, thinking I was crazy at the time. Looking back I’m glad I spent the $200.
The cockeyed front sight was usually found in wasr10 not really a problem anymore great video!!!
Excellent video, this is exactly how i zero my AKs as well I also zero my vepr 23"in 5.45 at 40 meters and it's dead center at 400meters that 7n6 flying at 3300fps is a laser in humidity air it leaves a vapor trail like a tiny missile.
Great video. I’ve also seen some instructions to do 25 yard zero with the elevation setting on 200 meters. Either way, close enough. The 300 meter and battle zero setting are the same height basically.
My very first rifle ever was a Norinco I bought just a year before the importation ban. Eventually I hope to buy it back from his kids. I'll always have a soft spot for them.
Love the Badassery of black ominous vehicles entering at 16:15. Props to the soccer mom vehicle too
The story of when you helped me with my Galil SAR with the front sight was a testament to having an ak Front sight adjustment tool… And a screwdriver lol you’re the man
Love my WASA 10 from Romania. Only modification is a Primary Arms low red dot. This is my go to rifle after my 338 Lapua dialed
in at 1500 yards...
Great video. Happy new year🎉🎉
That rifle you had at the beginning of the video looked so sweet . I like some aftermarket stuff but the original look of AKs is so beautiful. It looked glossed but that is how i like them .
One always learns something new. Thank you!
I did this way back. Got a DIY kit from Atlantic and bought some cheap Plastic stock and habdguards and about 1,000 rounds of ammo
Now I have it all cutomized how I like it. All I really need now is a KNS piston.
Love the wood color on this AK
thanks for the tip about the safety, my wasr has that exact problem.
Just picked up my real ak, this video was a lot of help, thanks!
What a well presented and helpful video. Thank you.
good information, I have owned AKs forever but I never heard of that 25 yard zero before...👍...my #1 upgrade is to change the rear sight notch for a peep....followed by a pin and ball front post sight
Wonderful Video, thanks, that's what I was looking for...now I need to get a good offer in Tampa!
Liked your tip about the 25yd to 200yd hit (nice parabola).
Good stuff! I thought I was in RUclipsr that answers all my comments! Good work Sir
Great video. Not overly complicated. Thank you.
Excellent basic AK advice!
Very timely since Santa delivers a lot of people’s first AK this time of year. 🎅🏻
I’ve got a waser the trunion date is 1974 it’s been a very good weapon shoots good and straight too I put a buffer rubber behind the bolt it made all of the difference in the world lol no metal on metal noise and calmed down the recoil I love aks I’ve took deer and hogs with mine with the dot sights on it
Thank you, Thank you! Your video really helped me more than anyone else. Perfect
Glad it helped
Very good instructional video.
Grabbing that sight tool for my wbp jack asap , W video !
I think i was one of those few people who had a to tight magwell and mag release. I took a hand file to it and its still tight but much better.
All the mags that I bought after owning the gun came crazy tight and did a day of filing to get them to fit properly, but ain’t no slop whatsoever.
I tried your trick to loosen the safety tonight and some how it got significantly tighter
Another great video! Thank you
thank you for this very informative and professional video.
Great video brother
I'm old, non 20/20 vision. My hack is I made a point and shoot scoped version. It is based on the combat setting. I slightly shimmed my scope and where ever I point my cross hair from 25 to 300 yards I am on target. I set at 25 yards about two inches low bulls eye.
Hey bro KLAYCO47 !! There is 1 thing missing in your AK selector Switch lever , its the third notch that 3rd selector hash mark on it that put the rifle in safe position.
It retains the selector switch retained to the receiver of the gun . So the selector doesn't disengage when you slide it all the way up when the top cover is removed....
Edit : the select lever doesn't overrides when that *safe position* is made engraved on place where it suppose to engage safety.
You can see that on Soviet AKs , Romanians , hungarian and some more ...
Great info!
Good stuff. I got my first two Davranov chest rigs in the mail just yesterday, one for AK's and one for AR's. They're pretty expensive, but wow they're really nice. They look like artwork and seem like they'll probably last for 100 years if you take care of them. I got a Zastava m90 a little over a year ago when russian ammo got banned. I love the m90, it's one of my favorite rifles, watched all your videos on it. Got mine when you could only get it with the gross magpul and hogue plastic trash on them. But, I ordered a walnut m70 furniture kit and stained it dark walnut and rubbed a bunch of coats of boiled linseed oil into it. Turned out gorgeous. It's a tack driver for an AK, shoots as good groups as any of my AR's.
Thanks Brother!!! Appreciate Your Insight!!!😊
Awesome video
GREAT videio.Im looking at the sporter model.I was hopeing maybe to change out the underfolder for a wood butt stock.But I ve been watching your AK videos.Im sure I can leave with that underfolderI sure I will do some modifications to it.Tanx again for your vidieos.WSG
A very good video! Thank you for the education.
Solid Vid bro
Thx Smash
my WBP Jack from Atlantic Arms came with perfectly centered front sight, fit and finish is almost too perfect lol i love it
kup sobie polisch kbk AKgn super sprzet mam taki
