Finished?  Is that the lazy fake BFPU finish we keep seeing lately?  

But on a serious note, congrats to him.  Thats a long project.  Now he just needs to get it flinging cases 20 more feet away and it'll be a real AK.

Damn, Ive been watching this for a long time,  Congrats to Brandon and his team.

I do wonder how accurate it is, it does look like it has a wee bit of barrel whip.  It might be due the fixed barrel vs the reciprocating barrel on the m82 which makes it deceiving in video.

I also noticed that.....wiggled like a piece of lightly cooked spaghetti.


They will need to stiffen the barrel quite a bit.

Other than that minor detail....impressive build.

Awesome, just sounds...different.

I don't know how crazy I'd be about that stamped receiver though as I'm looking at how much more substantially more beefed up my BA50 is.

Shooting starts at around the 9 minute mark.

The slow mo barrel flexing was cool

Most semi auto rifles have way more bbl whip in slo mo than one would think.

I loosely followed this build. He got hooked up with some real turds early on and, not having a background in manufacturing, he didn't know what he didn't know.

Haven't watched the vid yet. Sounds like he finally got in with someone who knew wtf they were doing. Good.

And I hope he wins his run off.

Stamped receiver is similar to an AR receiver in that, it only guides the bcg back and forth. The locking parts are steel.

Understood, have seen .50 blowups before though, shrapnel is still a concern.  It's a cool project either way and I'm glad it worked out.

Unless he's changed his mind, no it won't be available. After Kentucky ballistics was almost killed by his 50 cal blowing up in his hands Brandon concluded he didn't want to  risk selling the AK.50 to the public.

In before Ryan Reynolds lawsuit.

"I dropped out of college and invented the AK-50" should be a good election slogan in Texas. It's definitely a better credential than most of these law school fucks.

Wow.  That had a LOT of flex on the slow mo.  

Regardless, well done Brandon!!!

So cool and so gay at the same time

I've followed off and on because I'd like to do something like this and it was interesting.  But every time I'd think "why an AK?" (rhetorical, not asking)  Seeing it finished and watching that trigger pull makes me cringe.

Every single other part, cool as fuck.

You should see the amount of flex on a regular AK

Also at 14:00 if you know you know

I was busy watching the receiver flex.  

Does it seem to anyone else that the whole gun is trying to torque sideways when it cycles?

He walked off like it hurt.

I'd still shoot it. Once.

I wouldn't vote for him due to all those F Bombs.  I don't care how pro 2A he is.  I'd rather have a classy RINO who loves gun control.  Standards and all.
