What's up with the piston banging around for position before it goes into whatever-it-is-you-call-the-part that it goes into?

1:43 piston can't reseat because the piece of shit is so sloppy.

Have you ever played with a top? That's what bullets do, but the top is only 2D, and the bullet is doing it in 3D. |

Has to do with the hollow pocket in the tip of the 7n6 bullet, and the weight of the base of bullet which causes the yawing AFTER it hits it's target, if I remember correctly. |

What's up with the piston banging around for position before it goes into whatever it is you cal the part that it goes into? That's called "being an AK". The gas tube guides the piston back into the gas block. |

Which is why 5.56 is a better HD caliber than 300BLK. View Quote I don't know that I'd make that broad of a statement about it. Bullet for bullet, I would agree (heavy MatchKings), but I think I'd rather have a suppressed 8" Blackout shooting 110gr Vmaxs than a Mk18 with 262 or Optimized. |

The bullet is flopping around pretty good at :32 into the video also.
So much so that I had to go back to make sure I was seeing what I thought I saw. It's fun watching all the parts dance and whip around as they do their work. AKs are not exactly a elegant design, but they get the job done. |

Off topic: There was a time when I owned around 16 or 17 AKS-74s of various makes, prototypes and custom builds. After the surplus dried up and the novelty factor wore off, I own I think, just two now. |

Notice the bolt carrier slamming into the back of the receiver.
That's a bad thing, in case you were wondering. One of the reasons why AK's shoot themselves into inoperability over time rather quickly. |

1:43 piston can't reseat because the piece of shit is so sloppy. How well does the M-4 function with the gas tube removed? All the work is finished close to the gas block on AKs. The tube is just a guide for the proper alignment of the piston. A proper comparison would be the removal of the piston rod itself. |

If the bolt carrier is slamming the trunion that means its time for a new recoil spring.
