How to Field Strip/Reassemble an AK-47 (HD Video)

Amsdorf · July 4, 2012, 11:49 AM

I had a hard time trying to find a HD video on field stripping the AK-47 that was clear, easy to understand, well lit and well explained. So...here is my contribution, FWIW:

Great video.

Looks good to me. Camera work was good--everything was easily seen.

Might be worth mentioning that the trigger shouldn't be pulled with the gun field stripped. Also that if, for some reason, the hammer ends up in the forward position, it will need to be cocked before reassembly is possible.

JohnKS, thank you, I'll drop a note on to the video, to that point.

Well, depends on whether or not I show how to detail strip the Bolt.

Thanks for putting that video together. Just got a Saiga and have been looking for a good quality video.
