  • Cool Videos on the Care and Feeding of the M1 Garand Rifle July 20, 2016
    The Garand is definitely an iconic rifle.  I was introduced to it by my father, who used it at the end of WWII in the 6th infantry.  My dad is sadly not here any longer and I needed to look up some info on how to care for a M1 Garand and thought I would ...

  • Custom Yugo M72 RPK By Two Rivers Arms and Ronin’s Grips November 25, 2015
    Two Rivers Arms is an impressive group – they can really build Yugo rifles (and just about any other AK for that matter).  I recently had them build a replica M72 RPK that looked like it came fresh from the factory.  I also had them build this rifle and it took some creativity on their ...

  • Good animation of an AK-47 operating October 23, 2015
    I’ve seen other animations in the past that didn’t get into as much detail as this one.  In this video you get a pretty good demo of how the various parts work during the firing and automated loading of the AK-47 but they got the trigger wrong, etc.  This one shows the disconnector and trigger ...
  • Two Rivers Arms Built Yugo M72B1 October 16, 2015
    Once in a while I get to have fun.  For years I have worked with Two Rivers Arms making their grips so I knew they did a good job.  Well over a year ago, I bought two Apex M72B1 kits to have as prototypes but never had time to build them.  I must admit I ...

  • Stephen’s M70 – Check Out the Wood!! October 14, 2015
    You have to love the traditional lines of a Zastava M70B1.  Stephen did something neat with his – notice the M76 buttstock and great looking wood.  I think it’s fantastic.  We’re honored he picked one of our M70 grips to go on his rifle!

  • Check out Frank’s New Hog Rifle – A Vepr With Our Stock Set October 13, 2015
    Check out Frank’s New Hog Rifle – A slant back Vepr With Our Stock Set.  What Frank did that I think is really neat is that he machined the slots into our Vepr handguard.  The urethane pastic we use is glass fiber reinforced and acts like a hardwood – you can easily route or mill ...

  • Comparison Photos of Yugo M70 vs M72 Lower Handguards January 21, 2015
    Folks ask me if the Yugo M70 and M72 use the same handguards – in short, they do not.  The upper gas tube cover is the same across all models of Yugos I have seen but the lower handguard on the M72 is very short and rectangular.  This is especially true when it is next ...
