Frequently Asked Questions

What were the main failure points of the Inter Ordnance AK47 in the 1666-round test?

The Inter Ordnance AK47 failed due to severe malfunctions, including the bolt getting stuck, the chamber not closing, and internal components deforming. Metal was shaved off the dust cover, and the trunnion showed significant wear, leading to unpredictable bolt lock-ups and safety concerns.

Did the Inter Ordnance AK47 maintain accuracy during the test?

No, accuracy degraded significantly. Testing at 25 yards showed a point of impact shift of approximately 2.5 inches up and 1.5 inches left after firing four magazines, indicating issues with barrel stability when heated.

Why was the 5,000-round test aborted early?

The test was aborted at 1,666 rounds due to critical safety concerns. The rifle's internal components were deforming, causing the bolt to stick unpredictably and posing a risk of catastrophic failure.

What specific internal wear was observed on the Inter Ordnance AK47?

Detailed inspection revealed metal shaved from the dust cover by the bolt carrier. Significant wear and burrs were present on the trunnion, bolt carrier, and locking lugs, indicating issues with the metal's hardness or machining quality.
