Russian Alpha AK
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 1/28/2020 | L Vicker

Posted on 01/28/2020 7:52:52 AM PST by w1n1

Here's a tricked out AK47, inspired by the Russian Counter-Terrorist team Alpha. Its not the real deal because its not available in the U.S. This AK is a clone imitation put together by Youtuber Larry Vicker.

Vicker used an Arsenal Semiautomatic Bulgarian-made AK. In five-five six. The only reason the five-five six was used is that its what he had on hand.
The Russians AK were using five-four-five and Seven-six-two by thirty-nine. Not that they are opposed to five-five six, matter of fact Vicker saw at least one guy was using an M4 in five-five six.

Their AKs were five-four-five or Seven-six-two by Thirty-nine. So if you wanted to be spot-on correct, those are the two flavors you need to take a look at. This "Alpha Inspired" AK is not exactly like theirs, but it is very similar. Here's an excerpt of Larry Vicker explaining more details of this AK:

"First off, I used an Arsenal Semiautomatic Bulgarian-made AK. In five-five six. The only reason I use five-five six is that's what I had on hand. The Russians we saw, they were using five-four-five and Seven-six-two by thirty-nine. Not that they are opposed to five-five six, matter of fact we saw at least one guy who was using an M4 in five-five six. Their AKs were five-four-five or Seven-six-two by Thirty-nine. So if you wanted to be spot-on correct, those are the two flavors you need to take a look at."

The guns we saw were in the mid-length format, just like this one, alright? Also, the ones we saw had some variety of the Bulgarian Krink Flash suppressor like this, the four-piece flash suppressor. The rail is a Russian-made Zenit rail. This was very difficult to source; it still is. Alright, I’m gonna tell you right off the bat, if you’re gonna try to clone this gun, this is not gonna be an easy piece to get. The proper Zenit rail for this is difficult to get, but in my opinion it’s key, because it kinda makes the gun. Read the rest of Russian Alpha AK.

I bet he gets lots of chicks like that.

They show up on his front door, sayin', "Hey, you're that Larry guy that I saw on that video!

I've heard about you from all the other girls. You don't mind if I come in, do you?"

All rifle barrels wobble like that. M4s do it more than that. Its called barrel whip and it’s normal. Watch super slow mo of rifles on youtube and you’ll see they all do it

Is this how you get away with stealing content, by misspelling names?

Yep... the guns aren't getting worse, the cameras are getting better.

This article is NOT by Larry Vickers. It is by "JHines" based on a April 24, 2015 video by Vickers.

American Shooting Journal has a habit of making articles off of other people's work, usually a few years old so no one notices or cares.
