This video from SuppressorFest 2025 highlights the effectiveness of HuxWrx suppressors on AK platforms. Andrew from HuxWrx explains that their suppressors do not increase back pressure, eliminating the need for adjustable gas pistons or KNS pistons typically required for AK suppression. This results in more reliable and cleaner firearm operation. The company offers various mount options to ensure compatibility with different AK variants.

This Q&A stream from Regular Guy Training LLC covers a wide range of firearms topics, from the viability of AK platforms and specific pistol optics to the notorious New York trigger and the worst firearms owned. The instructors offer practical advice on firearm maintenance, training philosophy, and common pitfalls, emphasizing reliability and user experience over aesthetics or trends. They also discuss the importance of consistent training and the rationale behind their pricing structure.

This video details the installation of a K&N Precision adjustable gas piston on a Romanian Draco AK pistol. The presenter also showcases new Tula and ISH Bakelite magazines. The adjustable piston is intended to reduce felt recoil and improve performance, especially when using a suppressor.

The SIG SAUER MCX-SPEAR is an evolution of the popular MCX platform, designed for increased versatility and suppressed fire. Key features include new caliber options (.308, 6.5 Creedmoor, 277 Fury), ambidextrous controls with a non-reciprocating charging handle, and an adjustable gas piston optimized for suppressed use with the SIG SLX suppressor. The rifle also incorporates a rapid-deploying folding stock.

This video details the installation and initial tuning of a KNS Precision adjustable gas piston for the Mini Draco. The presenter demonstrates the process of setting the piston to 'wide open' and testing its function, highlighting the importance of tuning for reliable cycling and recoil management, especially when using suppressors. The content emphasizes the stock nature of the Romanian-imported Mini Draco and its performance characteristics.

This video demonstrates the installation and tuning of a KNS adjustable gas piston on an AKM-length gas tube. The presenter highlights the ease of installation, requiring only basic tools, and showcases how the adjustable piston significantly reduces felt recoil and improves brass ejection consistency, both suppressed and unsuppressed. The KNS piston allows for fine-tuning the gas system, making the AK platform more versatile for various ammunition types and shooting conditions.

SIG SAUER has officially shipped its Next Generation Squad Weapons (NGSW) system to the US Army for testing. This advanced system includes the SIG LMG-6.8 machine gun, the SIG MCX-SPEAR rifle, and innovative 6.8mm hybrid ammunition. The system is designed for enhanced lethality, reduced weight, and improved ergonomics, representing a significant modernization of US military small arms.

This video provides a detailed comparison between the Arsenal K-101 AK-74 and the Bravo Company BCM 14.5 AR-15. It highlights the K-101's milled receiver, hammer-forged barrel, and aftermarket enhancements like an adjustable gas piston and Krebs safety, noting its softer recoil impulse. The BCM AR-15 is praised for its lightweight pencil barrel, modularity, and mid-length gas system, offering a different handling characteristic. Both firearms are reviewed for their performance at close and extended ranges, with specific attention paid to triggers, ergonomics, and recoil mitigation.

This guide details the installation and tuning process for the KNS Adjustable Gas Piston on an AK-pattern rifle. The presenter demonstrates how to replace the standard gas piston with the adjustable version, emphasizing the ease of installation. The core of the guide focuses on the tuning process, showing how to incrementally adjust the gas system to achieve reliable cycling, proper ejection, and a pleasant shooting impulse.

This video provides a detailed look at the IMI Galil ARM in 5.56mm, highlighting its Valmet and Kalashnikov influences. It discusses the ARM configuration's integrated bipod, which can also function as a bottle opener and wire cutter. The presenter demonstrates a Canis Design Group adjustable gas piston, explaining its utility for tuning gas pressure, especially when using a suppressor. Magazine options, including 50, 33, and 12-round variants (the latter for blanks and grenade firing), are showcased. The rifle is noted for its robust build and manageable recoil, particularly when suppressed.

This guide details the installation of a KNS Adjustable Gas Piston on Kalashnikov series rifles, as demonstrated by Gary Hughes and Mike Pappas. The process involves removing the factory rivet and piston, then installing the new adjustable piston with a supplied roll pin. Proper selection of piston length for your specific AK variant is crucial. This modification allows for fine-tuning of the gas system for smoother operation, reduced recoil, and improved performance, especially when suppressed.

This video introduces the KNS Precision AK Adjustable Gas Piston, a new product designed to allow users to fine-tune their AK's gas system. The adjustable piston can help mitigate issues when shooting suppressed, reduce felt recoil, or increase the rifle's operating energy. Installation involves replacing the standard piston with the adjustable unit, and adjustments are made by rotating a threaded component on the piston itself.
