    Unique topic and great video. I find it very interesting how much western influence the Russian weapons have. I would have never guessed that prior to seeing Larry’s earlier videos and now this. Thank you for sharing.

      I find it very interesting that, at least from how I understood it, the Russians are using a lot of US made products.

        “ITAR? What is this ITAR you speak of, tovarich?” Sneaky freakin Cossacks.

    Very cool but I was a bit surprised that Larry, given that he is a shooter, didn’t comment on the very blatant chin weld required to use the optic on that mount. I would be interested to see if you could get a more conventional cheek weld with a lower T1 mount.

      Having seen a number of no-riser T1s on AKs you can *kinda* get a cheek-weld but it’s still awkward. Even direct-mounted you’re still too high to even get a lower 1/3 co-witness on a Texas Weapons Systems dustcover/rail and a rear sight, but it’s miles better than on a riser.

    Sometimes you see something that just makes you say “Now that is cool!”
    This is one of those times. Thank you for sharing.

    I want one in 7.62

    I just want the stock adaptor. And yeah in 7.62 that would make quite a room broom.

    If you were doing just straight close combat 100 yards and in…it would be plenty accurate enough

    What is the purpose of some of the Russian SF’s using 7.62×39 still? Is there a certain roll it fills?

    I love my aks in 7.62 just curious

    Where can I get the Wilson light? ????

    I put one of these together in 7.62×39 some time back and Larry is right in that the Russian Zenitco parts are hard to source and come at a premium. I ran a Magpul CTR/MOE stock riser to alleviate the cheek weld issue with the optic.

    Anyone know the barrel length that the 106CR got cut down to?

    Anyone know what mods had to be done to accommodate the SRVV on a Bulgarian gun. Changed out the rear trunnion to a Russian one, or possibly modified the tactube itself…
