"Left hole first" Karl casually sabatoging Ian's winning run I'm onto you Karl

I see the range officer is still suffering ill effects of a lost bet.

Karl's rituals have me thinking he's squatting in a blue tracksuit making angry Russian noises.

The beefy G3 rounds make it easy to tell when Ian gets hits. Those targets really pop!

"Left hole first" ...it's a righty's world.

Karl, for a good cheek riser, get a black SVD cheek piece, and shim it with some tape. Don't wrap the tape around the stock, but just get several layers underneath the cheekpiece. Best cheek riser ever with the triangle stock

Man, the Range Fairy really blessed Ian so far!

Karl 79.80 Ian 79.93 Damn close.

Karl's bolt velocity is still a bit anemic. On second thought, I think it's just me being used to the typical violent AK bolt movement. For all I know, Karl probably tuned it to be spot on.

556 upvotes and 0 downvotes. Normally that'd be perfect, but 545 or 762 upvotes would be better for this particular video.

79.80 vs 79.93 (Ian). It is great watching Ian improve his skillset.I discovered that I like watching modern firearms better than watching C&R weapons run in competition. The quirks of the old guns and ammo sucks some of the fun out of the runs. I still like them just not as much as modern weapons. Keep up the good work guys.

Woo, more wrong-sided roller-delayed loving!

Damn that AK74 has no recoil

Damn Ian is killing it! It's neck and neck now! Hell yeah! I've been a fan for at least a year and the improvement in Ian's game is amazing. Or maybe he has the the luck of the range fairy. Whatever it is this is really cool to watch..

You're playing a dangerous game having a Mutated G3 you know how the Germans feel about purity :o

So finally people recognize the superiority of gangsta style gun handling. Well, only two of the nine holes, but it's a start.

Amazing how close your times where . Well done!

I have a spring assisted recoil control buttstock on my G3 and a muzzle device to help with the recoil. Its pleasant to shoot but still kicks. Seriously, G3's are amazing and like Ian proves a few upgrades can truly bring it to modern standards or beyond.

That prediction, tho. Ian putting it out there, that the 60-stack was gonna fail at Hard As Hell. Hahaha.

Yo, damn, Karl, I LOVE seeing that AK bolt just *bloop* back like that; it's almost elegant!

Ian, i really like your G3 and the fact that you enjoy it so much. And it proves again that, no matter what it looks like, "fit the gun to yourself not the other way around".

That grin at 7:14 though

Love the side by side footage! Should do it more.

The first one was a bit unfair to Ian. The bottom holes are easier to drag yourself forward while lying down, than to move backwards.

"Left hole first" - doesn't that put Ian at a disadvantage? Scooting up has got to be easier than scooting back ...

I'm surprised those runs were so darn close! I'm glad Ian likes the G3 so well so far.

This is one of the videos where it's really great that you included the split screen.

What's up with the fairy wings? xD

Almost a photo finish! Good job for both of you!

Ian performs great with that G3. Nice match guys.

I’m so glad that modernization efforts seem to be helping such an old warhorse stay relevant

Great to hear Karl working the safety on the AK! That front sight post was really a challenge on the barricade. Ian's larger gun was actually more streamlined.

Firing AK one-handed sideways. "I see you're pretty gangsta. I'm pretty gangsta myself."

"Deceptively difficult" but you guys both cleaned up on this stage! Nice work.

if Ian hadn't tried to shoot the final 3 right to left he would have had the best time even with the disadvantage of having to slide backwards between shots.

Love the R.O's get up!

"you wanna have a real russian AK" the amount of feeling this can bring out of Karl is crazy xd

Watching the side-by-side run, it felt like Karl told Ian "left side first" from his own video. And does anyone know what Ian's rifle weighs in that configuration? I don't recall hearing a final weight. (Ian if you read, loaded weight please, and is it the standard profile barrel?)

I’ve heard of range nazi’s, but range 🧚‍♂️ fairy? Lol. Maybe it’s the brass fairy 🧚‍♀️ that steals all your brass.

Hahaha the fairy outfit gets me every time

Damn, that´s one smooth ak.

@Ian. Did you thought about getting rid of the G3 front sight? Watching Karl trying to fiddle his AK with its mighty front sight through the small holes in that barricade made me realize how much easier it was for you. You removed your rearsight because of the Spuhr stock, so no use for a frontsight anyway. Imagine having no front sight that could get blocked by such barricades or other obstacles? Should not be a big problem looking at the G3 frontsight part and would give your G3 an even more modern look :) Looking for Spuhr G3 on google pictures brings many frontsight less G3 up. Also one of your WWSD conclusions was something like "no need for ironsights if the optics are just fine", if i remember.

The fairie looked tactical as fuck it must have taken Dugan's tactical shooting classes

Hey Karl Just a tip from one AK guy to another, try rolling the rifle on it's left side, it gives you more room to work with and a little more flexibility in the low ports, helped me out a lot in a competition I used to participate in

That was DAAAAMN close. Karl watch out, If he'd been allowed to freestyle those last three shooting positions he would have had you by several seconds. WITH A .308 OF ALL THINGS. Still though, that AK looks pleasant to shoot, it's ejection is so gentle it's confusing me, AKs are always so violent in action. Great shooting guys, I want to come out to AZ to do some of these matches. Maybe someday.

Carl have you ever thought of building an AK from the reciever up? I know theres builders but it wouldnt be a WWKD rifle if you didnt. Just saying. I love your guys stuff.

I have the KNS adjustable gas piston installed on my 5.45 VEPR. I have to run it nearly closed for use without the suppressor. With the can I'm opening it up about 30 clicks of 80 total adjustment.

I feel like the VTAC barricade should have been on the right - so basically mirror the stage - for left handed shooters, if they preferred to have it as such. I've owned one of those quad stack PUFGUN mags for a while and have put ~500 rounds through it, and have yet to have any issues. Mine has a steel reinforced locking tab though.

looking at Ian and Karl's runs without context, Ian seems to be much better with his accuracy, however it takes him longer to acquire targets and make the shot. Karl is a heavier guy and seems to have a little more trouble with the lower holes. I'm unsure if their weapons account for much of their successes or hindrances, but they both equal out in the end. In summary: this comment is mostly pointless just watch the video.

I believe the ak4 is usually zeroed on 30 meters and then hits on 250-300 meters when the projectile comes back down, which makes sight offset less of an issue. But hey my memory is not what it used top bee.

Daaaaamn .13 split time between you two?!

Curious: Would be cool to see Inrange's thoughts on a 5.56 AK pattern rifle v.s. 5.45

cone kicker. that's a yellow card!

Rituals to honour the machine gun spirit.

Oh look KZfaq didn't alert me

that looks like a very smooth shooting 74

I want that G3 minus the lefty charging handle.... and maybe an LPVO but otherwise the thing has my ATTENTION.

I think Kalishnikov would only trust Jim Fuller to build him a modern service rifle.

I wonder how much softer this gun would shoot with a muzzle brake. If I was in the states, I'd definitely commission a setup with the Spuhr stock myself. Really digging the look personally.

If Ian did the 3rd 3 holes right He could have won!

That must be the good idea fairy fuckin around haha

Great job guys!

vtec just kicked in yo

Wouldn't a WWK do ak be as bare bones as it can be? That's the idea of the ak right a cheap mass produced rifle that any conscript could use with ease.

Quick question, what ear protection do y’all use, and have you done any extensive testing or research before you bought them?

How slow is the bolt moving on that AK?! you can watch it cycle back and forth lol

Surely the order requirement on the bottom row gives an advantage to right handed shooters?

Karl have you thought about removing the front sight so it doesnt get stuck in the barricade? although that would leave you without a sight, unless you replace the gasblock as well for the one in the ak105 that has the sight included.

Question. Why did Ian have to engage last bank left port first? I reckon I could argue right hand advantage Karl using his barrel to pull his way across the prone firing positions whereas Ian had to push his way across those same targets. Not being a hater or looking to start a shitfight, just a genuine observation on stage procedure and the shooters freedom to engage presented targets within a defined target engagement position/area.

how did you not get M05 pants ian?

Ian, do you also use some sort of rubber buffer in your G3?

Obviously the G3 suits Ian well, just wondering if there is a scoring advantage or a competing in a different Division for battle rifle calibers? If not I wonder if the same gun in 556, less recoil and more mag capacity, wouldn't be about perfect?

I wonder if the combat fairy either lost a bet or his daughter said daddy please put the fairy costume on for the match.

WWH&KD series coming?

2:28 someone lost a bet.

Karl was only 0.13 sec faster than Ian. Closest stage yet.

I think Ian is reaching on the G3 handguard. Unless you need rail space their volume of fire is not enough to require better cooling, a few grams weight savings on a G3 is unnoticeable.

Damn musquito

What dump pouches are you two running. Ian I know you said on the other video you were running a Sarma plate carrier same for the dump?

Besides authenticity any advantages to the spur hand guard over a Midwest industries?

I don't see why you didn't just get a Wolff enhanced recoil spring over the finicky gas system, I put that spring in my 7.62 AK and it's way more reliable and I swear the recoil is almost as light as my AR now.

I like the idea of a what would X do AK vs G3, perhaps even the FAL?

How does that handguard compare to the slimline HK item?

I beat you both on that one (just barely). That was a fun match.

What the hell with the butterfly guy following Karl?

Gut gut, zee Ian likes zee G3

You guys both did great, but in case there's anyone here who hasn't shot in a match, If there's someone running a stage ten feet in front of you, please shut up. Quiet talking is cool but you don't need to be shouting to your buddy. Sorry about that Ian

Ok, what did you pay the guy with the fairy wings? :D (Damned, I would need some serious money to consider going anywhere with those...hell, I would even need to be payed to put them on in the first place :D )

Why does the range official have a ... you know what. Nevermind. I am not sure I want to know.

So you CAN shoot a rifle lying on it's side. Interesting.

Do you guys use a rake to clean up afterwards?

SLR104fr or SGL31?

Would carbon building up in the gas piston be an issue? Say if i wanted to burn through a few spam cans say 700-800 rounds would carbon build up causing it not to get enough gas?

What kind of Buffer is Ian using? I believe the Spuhr can take a HK 21 buffer right?

👏

Is this AK bolt supposed to cycle that slow maybe there is something wrong with my eyes but for me it cycles a bit slow

Anyone else has their recommendations completely empty?

Range fairy owo

haha range pixie following gun Jesus
