The 2nd Vicker's AK Operator's class will start tomorrow. I took the first one and it was outstanding. I'll be going to the second one to take pics and shoot the shit with the guys.
I'll also take my Arsenal Inc. SA-M7 Classic.
This thing is not a safe queen, she has blemishes from use. I used it to teach some Boy Scouts about the AK and they contributed to a few of the character marks..... :cool:
Anyway........
One of the things I'd like to do tomorrow is to run a little torture test.
I'll remove the dustcover and have someone throw a handfull of the red clay/sand stuff that's native to the area into the action with the bolt closed.
I'll then reinstall a the topcover and load the rifle, and see just how reliable this thing is.
We've all heard the anecdotal evidence that an AK can function with a handfull of sand in the action, we'll see.
This will of course be photographed and hopefully caught on video.... :D
So...the "Before" pics:
