The Yugoslav M76, a designated marksman rifle based on the AK platform, is reviewed in 8x57mm Mauser. While comfortable to shoot with manageable recoil, American-built versions like the Century Arms model exhibit reliability issues, particularly with magazine follower design causing bolt jams. Accuracy is promising, but cycling malfunctions and dust obscuring the sight picture were noted.
This AK47 user guide part 3 delves into the Fire Control Group (FCG), highlighting its simple design for easy maintenance. It covers the removal and reassembly of FCG components, comparing retainer plates to shepherd's hooks and discussing trigger re-profiling to prevent bolt carrier deformation. The video emphasizes safety warnings, particularly regarding hammer spring tension, and concludes with a live fire test to confirm proper function.
The WBP AK47 successfully completed a 5000-round durability test, maintaining accuracy below 3 MOA and passing a no-go headspace test. Key findings include deformation on the bolt carrier tail due to the Tapco G2 trigger's hump, requiring modification. A minor issue with the magazine release rivet was noted and field-fixable. The cast trunnion showed no signs of damage, indicating good durability.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Vepr rifle in 7.62x54R, detailing its construction and potential modifications. Key insights include the rifle's high-quality Molot factory machining, the necessity of receiver modifications for aftermarket furniture due to its thicker walls, and the ease of adapting standard AK muzzle devices with a re-threaded barrel.

Key features include a Tapco G2 trigger group, a unique bolt hold-open selector, and a non-bulged RPK-style trunnion making it lighter than the O-PAP.

The 74-style muzzle brake effectively reduces muzzle rise, enabling rapid follow-up shots.
