This guide details the testing and refinement process for the AK-50 V2 Prototype, as presented by lead designer Brandon Herrera. It covers initial test fires, identification of weld failures due to high forces, repairs, and subsequent magazine-fed testing. The video highlights critical engineering challenges, including component wear and the need for design modifications like helical lugs to enhance reliability. The roadmap towards the V3 prototype for a production-ready design is also outlined.

This guide details the design and fabrication process for an improved cam lug and groove for the AK-50 V5 prototype, as presented in Brandon Herrera's Brass Valley series. It focuses on addressing design flaws in the V1 model by incorporating a roller bearing to enhance durability and ease of maintenance. The process involves CAD design, 3D printing, and integration of new components, emphasizing precision gunsmithing techniques.

This video details the remaining steps to complete the AK-50 prototype (v5). Key tasks include fabricating and installing the firing pin, cam lug, and cam group, drilling and pinning the barrel extension, and setting the gas port and block. The presenter emphasizes the complexity and ongoing development of this 50 BMG AK platform rifle.
