Videos tagged with Locking Lug Wear

This video critically examines the 8.6 Blackout cartridge, questioning its purported advantages, particularly the emphasis on a 1:3 twist rate. The presenter argues that while the cartridge offers more energy than 300 Blackout, its significant bullet drop and limited effective range make it less ideal for hunting compared to other alternatives. The analysis delves into the physics of rotational energy, suggesting its contribution to terminal ballistics is often overstated and that faster twist rates can lead to increased barrel and component wear.

This video provides a 500-round endurance test of the Century Arms VSKA AK47. The reviewer details accuracy tests, including a barrel shift test, and notes the rifle's ability to group tightly after initial shots. A single malfunction occurred due to a Pro Mag magazine, while Extar Tactical and surplus magazines functioned flawlessly. Internal component wear, particularly on the locking lugs, is examined, with the reviewer noting self-adjustment rather than factory smoothing. The video also highlights the absence of a side rail and the presence of a hollow rivet in its place.
