This video details the performance and condition of an AKM-style rifle after firing 2500 rounds. The presenter assesses wear and tear on various components, including the bolt, carrier, barrel, and receiver, noting minimal damage and continued reliability. The focus is on long-term durability and the effects of sustained use on an AK platform.
At 2,500 rounds, the RAS 47 exhibits significant wear. The front sight post unscrewed, and the rear leaf sight spring cracked, rendering iron sights unreliable. The bolt carrier group shows progressing damage, including wear on the front and within the channel, and the piston rivet is walking out. Malfunctions like failure to eject have begun. Despite these issues, the rifle remains functional, and the barrel still shoots accurately. The presenter plans further hardness testing and comparison with other AK platforms.
