We’ve been busy, filming new videos in 4K resolution. We ran an AK week a bit ago and sold down inventory. Building real combat ready AKs is not so easy, not when the world is arming for an American presidential election where gun control is an issue.

If you hadn’t guessed it, VT is not filled with gun control types except for Kevin and maybe a few more. We like them anyway, some at least.

Bulgarian AK-74

 We have a limited supply of very good AK 74s available. As you can see in the photos, there is very little wear on the metal parts and the wooden furniture is in very good condition. AK-74 parts are getting harder to get as far fewer were designated as surplus than AK-47s. This is chambered in 5.45X39

$699  Two available

Hot AK 74 Assault Platform in 545×39

AK-74 Close Quarters Battle Rifle

This AK-74 is unlike any other AK you may encounter. Everything about it is custom from the quad rails to the Magpul Zhukov stock to the CQB 558 holographic sight. This began as a Bulgarian AK-74 (5.45×39 round) but bears little resemblance to the original rifle. We started by using a new American made receiver and barrel, added a American made Tapco G-2 trigger group, but we did not stop there. We then put on a Magpul Zhukov stock which is extendable and folds. (Rifle can be fired with the stock folded) This is a much sought after premium stock. We replaced the front handguard with a custom quad rail that we used to attach a front handgrip with a pop out bipod and a CQB 558 holographic sight. We finished it off by adding a 40 round magazine and a custom soft pistol grip. All of this makes for a light weight, easy to handle rifle capable of spitting lead as fast as you can pull the trigger.
Mike likes this rifle so much he is threatening to keep it for himself, but I think he can be talked out of it.

Priced at $939 and worth every penny

Can anyone say this isn’t a “bad boy?” Moving us back in time to when the grease gun and MAC 10/Ingram were hottest things around.

.308 Pistol 11.5 InchThis is the single most powerful weapon of its size in the world today. With standard 25 round magazine, or an optional 50 round drum, this has unparalleled range and stopping power with ease of control. This is the lightest .308 available. Needless to say, this is also one of the rarest and hardest to get weapons in existence. Considering that this is technically a pistol in full 7.62×51 NATO/.308 Winchester, we are breaking some new ground here.

The AR pistol has proven itself to be, perhaps, the most versatile and enjoyable platform available. Note that this is technically a pistol and ownership falls under that category. Make sure you are allowed to own such a thing in your locality. We began with a premium “Wylde” barrel, chrome lined and went full premium all the way. We added scope matched to expected performance and mounted it for perfect balance. Set down to 5x, this gets a sight picture easily and can hit a tin can at 150 meters in 2 seconds.
