The AK-105. The Russian Alpha AK.
Рет қаралды 3,778,013
Күн бұрынThe AK-105 is for me one of the most iconic rifles currently in use by the famed Russian Alpha group. It is the rifle of choice due to its short size but good ballistics. As I explain in the video I believe it was pure providence that the gas tube on the AK-100 series of rifles be at such a length that when shortened put the rifle's barrel at 12.4 inches. Even more interesting to me is that the AK-100 series of rifles were purely meant for export but certain models quickly found themselves in official service of Mother Russia. Hope you enjoy this video on my favorite rifle ever. The AK-105.

I have a few AKs, all of them old between 1970 and 1989. There's something cool about how they shoot, all that wood and steel smells and feels really cool. What's awesome about being a red state Constitutional carry resident is that I get to enjoy lots of different weapons between my paltry collection and those of my brother and friends. Feel people are limiting themselves being all AK or all AR all the time, they are both really cool in their own ways. Sort of like going to a buffet at the Bellagio and only eating one thing.

The ak-102 seems like a pretty interesting option, especially where I'm at with winters where it can rain one day and absolutely freeze the next. The biggest question for me is how well it runs different ammo. Hopefully you will talk more about it in the future?

From reliability perspective civilian ak-102 runs perfectly on all but subsonic commercialy avaliabe ammo. But accuracy can vary significantly depending on specific type. 5.56 Saiga's are quite popular in Russia as a hunting carbine due to vide selection of ammo
@maledetto1221 2 жыл бұрын
I had one(sold it because mags were too difficult to find at the time) and it run great. One time I had some faulty Fiocchi rounds that were overpressured and jammed my NEA, I ended up shooting all the rounds with the AK because it got just one jam(two hits at the handle and it was good to go, while the AR15 was a pain in the ass). It wasn't a parts kit but an original Izhmash(I'm not in the US) so that may change for you

Anything else is 'too weak'. My dad's uncle was like that. Annoyed me to no end. He told me that the SKS round wasn't big enough to kill a deer because he didn't understand that the 7.62x39 and 7.62x51 are both 30 caliber rounds and a soft nose round was more than enough to kill a deer. I did it multiple times, but not on his land. It was .308, .30-30 or .300WinMag only. And AR only.

They're both fine. The AR is better for Americans simply because of better parts and ammo availability, especially if SHTF and you're scavenging police armories after all the police have turned into zombies or whatever. In a Red Dawn situation, you're probably better off with AKs and scavenging dead commies after you hit their supply lines. But between the two, I expect literal zombies over paratrooper commies, so the AR wins out. It's simply early mover advantage. The AR was here first, and dominated the market. In other places, with other markets, the AK may be the better choice. I don't have a problem with anyone anywhere buying guns of the opposite type, against local market forces, just as long as you acknowledge and prepare for the downsides of your choice being less popular. And if you own both, even better. One thing I'll add, which is no small point under a Democrat regime or other anti-gun government somewhere: AK 80% lowers are not that easy to turn into actual guns. Unless something has changed, AR lowers are just so much easier to covertly (and legally) proliferate than AKs. If you want to own guns you don't want potential confiscators knowing about, the AR is just the best choice, hands down. Heck, there's a machine you can buy that'll turn a solid block of aluminum (a 0% lower) into a finished AR lower now automatically for you in about 3 hours. We've had automation for finishing 80% lowers for years. AKs, from what I understand, require a lot of special tools.

I got the 5.45 bug in 2020 when everytime I'd go into my local gun shops they had stacks of 5.45x39 that never decreased and the price per round was 0.21. I missed shooting my AKM and ARs 2x a week because my ammo stock was getting low while replacement stock was 3x in value. That's how I ended up with my 74 and 6k rnds of 5.45 lmao. As far as I know I'm the only person in this county that has a 5.45 chambered weapon or atleast shoots one regularly enough to be only one to buy 5.45 here. My local shops are still getting in 5.45 at half the cost of 5.56 so I've been getting a ton of time behind it.

9 hole reviews recently did an AK accuracy with a Bulgarian 74 with irons and it performed how we all assume AK’s do. However, after they fitted all the zenitco furniture and placed optics on it (I think it was a red dot with a 3x magnifier) it actually preformed far better than an AR-15 with the same modifications. They thought that maybe it was just the optics but also because of how tight the fitment is on the zenitco lower handguard, they think it’s possible that it messed with the harmonics of the barrel which in turn made it that much more accurate. If that’s true, that’s insanely cool

@@dakotamaiden4331 yes different people like different things but your ideology goes against modern professional rifle handling. The AK series platform has a loose fitting sheet metal dust cover. This section of valuable real estate is impossible to use as a solid mounting surface to retain any type of 'Zero'. This is why the rail riveted to the side of the receiver even exists... Unless you want to have your optic 2 feet in front of your eye hanging off the end of your gun, then you're not going to have comfortable eye relief without some sort of acceptable mounting surface

@@dakotamaiden4331 60 years in the past? I guess people stopped wanting to put optics on AKs....... The stamped Dust cover, side reciever rail, and using proper eye relief are all very much present day things and ideas. Now I'm honestly curious, what exactly about what I said is 60 years in the past? That makes no sense. No matter what upgraded dust cover you buy it still has nothing to do with the fact majority of even modern AK builds use a stamped dust cover and side rail.

There are some very rare examples left of Mk18 with the bayonet lug removed. Later the barrles were cut to 10.3 Inch at the Mk18 Mod 0 "Typ I" later models produced at Colt have 10.5 Inch barrels called Mk18 Mod 0 Typ II.

Nice to see people coming around to the 105 idea. I have two 105-ish guns (but with 14.5+pinned barrels because...I'm too lazy for NFA stuff) both built by Jim Fuller maybe 12-13 years ago now. Early adopted to the Kreb's retaining plate, the Tromix charging handle, the Kreb's enhanced safety and my two rifles even feature the Kreb's 105 block they used to make, etc. Been running it for a long time now and they're just incredible rifles. At the time I was dumb enough to spend $300 for proper Russian folding stocks (shortly before they flooded the market). I admit I think the 12.5" AK's are - as you said - basically the perfect short range carbine option. Fold the stock, small package, no real ballistic penalty, etc. Great guns.
