Christopher’s M70B1 looks very slick! It has our traditional style polymer handguard in our Dark Russian Plum color. These handguards are ready for extreme duty as they are cast from the thick wood versions of the handguards and thus are very strong.
By the way, Christopher’s business is on Facebook as “Koufos Emergency Resource”
Jef’s Zastava M92 PAP with our dark olive drab handguards and a quick release pin to remove the receiver’s dust cover.
He’s running our Vepr handguard on his .308 Vepr. Looks very sweet!
First off, the quote he sent is great: “Da, comrade Ronin agrees, you all need to work harder!”
I think this color combo looks great on his rifle. He went with a black First Generation Molot grip.
That sure is a sweet M92 SBR. It is using one of our First Generation Molot grips on it. Looks like a cool color combination.

To me, the AK family of rifles are some of the easiest designs on the planet to field strip … but I have done it hundreds of times. For a newcomer, how to take the rifle apart can be daunting. I took a few minutes and assembled some of my favorite videos and online resources / manuals to help clarify matters:
AK manuals that are online:
YouTube Videos:
Now Brownell’s did some videos on Youtube also but they split them into separate parts:
Part 1 – Disassembly:
Part 4 – Reassembly
We will have a future post about cleaning and maintenance so keep an eye out for it.
In case you missed the original Tales of the Gun episode on the AK-47 when it aired in 2010, here it is. This is a very well done episode that goes into the history of the design and how it served in battle. Fans of the Kalashnikov will definitely want to watch this.
By the way, what I like about this particular Youtube video is that the quality is pretty good and it is the whole episode vs. being chopped up.
This is a very interesting video that covers some of the history of the AK-47. I found the portions showing testing and manufacturing very interesting.
