Just once I want to see someone open the top cover.

Rebuilt it? Why? What was wrong with it? I have no idea who this guy is.

Early production 74 that “showed concerning wear” on the trunnion and bolt. Take it for what it’s worth. There was never a gauge test and he stated it seems to continue shooting fine. PSA updated everything to new production parts.

He posts some trunnion and bolt pics early in the video linked above.

I guess I should've watched the video instead of skimming through it

He sent the rifle back to PSA over nothing

Almost like someone needs to make a writeup on what is acceptable BCG/trunnion wear on AKs and why it happens

He shot over 10k rounds on it and sent it back for a refresh.

He is a former Ranger, does a lot of AK and airsoft videos.  Seems to favor AK’s, he has been Rusfor/Militia at milsim west events and seems to know Russian gear and uniforms pretty well.  

So he may not be an expert on how they are built or fixed, but has a lot of trigger time on them compared to most folks.  And he has a number of deployments under his belt too, so kind of knows what he is doing.

10k rounds on an early PSA trunnion/bolt…yeah I would take a free upgrade to the current specs also…

His 74 was a first run that PSA did. He mentioned in a earlier video that it ran fine so he didn’t send it to get fixed. Glad he did. I enjoy his channel.

Blue Jean has been putting out great content. I really do enjoy his videos and experience he shares and the fact that he's willing to the run the gun hard and show people that an American made company that will fulfill our desires, even with import restrictions. It makes it more enjoyable that he favors the AK platform.
