The review covers the rifle's performance in extreme conditions, including water and mud exposure, and examines internal components for wear and rust after approximately 2000 rounds. The video also assesses the reliability of a Primary Arms SLx MD-25 red dot sight under adverse conditions and concludes with a headspace test using a no-go gauge.

Quick Summary

The FB Radom Beryl 7.62x39mm rifle proved highly resilient during a 'swamp test,' continuing to function reliably after submersion in water and mud. While surface rust appeared on some components like the recoil spring, the bolt and trunnion showed minimal wear after 2000 rounds. A subsequent headspace test with a no-go gauge confirmed proper function.
