i do believe that jim fuller is without a doubt the best custom ak builder in the world i don't think there's any uh you know i don't think there's going to be really better now there are a lot of people who are really good really close to him but i think jim's the best bb i'm biased who knows but in any case we got to give credit where credit is due for that just a beautiful build this is built on an ismash NUMBER_TOKEN kit um and for all intents purposes it is about as close as you can get without having a factory sample now it should be noted when it comes to the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN that i do have um a little bit of familiarization with the actual ak-NUMBER_TOKEN as it comes from the factory so we'll definitely be talking about that as we go through this review now the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN if you don't know what the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN is of ak-NUMBER_TOKEN is a NUMBER_TOKEN by NUMBER_TOKEN semi-automatic gas operated long-stroke piston-driven weapon that is magazine-fed and it of course owes its lineage to the ak-NUMBER_TOKENm or to the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN series and prior to that to the akm and ak-NUMBER_TOKEN now it should be noted also that the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN is part of the aka NUMBER_TOKEN series which was made for export by russia and then ended up being picked up by uh quite a few different special operation units within um you know russia's special operations world in addition to the NUMBER_TOKEN version of this the NUMBER_TOKEN being picked up by multiple different units within different countries NUMBER_TOKEN isn't as popular outside of russia um sNUMBER_TOKENs for example so this has been used quite a bit and i think what's really interesting about the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN is that much like the mark NUMBER_TOKEN the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN kind of just ended up following a pass a path of least resistance and what i mean by that is if we look at something like the mark NUMBER_TOKEN we'll pop up a little picture of a mark NUMBER_TOKEN mod NUMBER_TOKEN. so you get the mNUMBER_TOKEN carbine and i understand i am over simplifying quite a bit but you have the mNUMBER_TOKEN carbine and essentially on the mNUMBER_TOKEN carbine if you were to cut that barrel as short as possible without getting into the gas system and why this is important is of course we have shoulder shorter gas systems or as we begin to shorten different parts of the weapon that increases the amount of production costs because of course you have to tool up for completely new parts so by simply cutting down the barrel on an mNUMBER_TOKEN and opening up the gas port we have a cqb type weapon now it just so happened that for the mNUMBER_TOKEN the shortest we get it all the way on that carbine length gas system was NUMBER_TOKEN inches and of course the versatile mark NUMBER_TOKEN was born now on the ak world of course everyone knows and loves the crank we'll put the little picture of the crank up right here the crank did surf for a long time it was found to be lacking in many ways and also it had a lot of proprietary parts that had to be built out this increased production costs quite a bit and any country wants to save money so when the ak-NUMBER_TOKEN was designed it was uh just a simple fix they took a ak a NUMBER_TOKEN series so
NO_SEGMENT_TOKEN
