[Music] guys we are talking about accessorizing your AK now we have a PSA AK-47 here and it's
got Magpul so at least you got a little bit options there but if you have a stock like
Woodstocked AK and you're like I want to put optic on it even this if I want to put it
optic on it you don't have too many options two now we have the Alpha Series of accessories
and mounts from Midwest Industries I've had a lot of Midwest Industries Parts on some
of my rifles beforehand but this Alpha Series of hand guards top rail cover and then their
folding stock pretty cool now we have to talk about the elephant in the room because I have
so much trash on here that it kind of takes the elephant to shoot this but I just wanted
to see how much I could fit on this handguard because normally if you want to put anything
on an AR well it's okay but on an AK this is impressive so we have a Laser Rangefinder
right here we have extra 45 degree sights right here just because they fit on the rail
we have a red dot we have a now this is a thumb stop but we have accutac bipod we have
another four end we have a hand stop for in Viridian Laser we have an O light so now this
is a destructive device we've got to pick 15.
oh and then if you notice the watch the watch is pretty cool because that's actually our
sponsor for today Smith and Bradley now it's kind of cool story because Mr Smith was a
cop in Chicago and is kept breaking watches is like man I need something more robust into
the Smith and Bradley watches he just said he's gonna go make them and so you have courts
you have digital you even have automatic
not that type of automatic the type not regulated by the ATF and I'll just borrow a quote from
their website because they say they build exceptional watches for exceptional men so
maybe I'm the exception but anyway they guarantee their watches for life so if you want something
that you can use and abuse well maybe not abuse this is abuse today we're gonna see
if it takes a licking and keeps ticking go over to the link tree you can find it at topshotdestin.com
and check out the Smith and Bradley watches now let's shut up and shoot
we're just going to start at the front because up here we have their two chamber muzzle break
by Midwest Industries and then their six to ten inch hand guard is probably what most
people are after I don't know all the pieces are pretty cool but with this handguard it
installs without any modification to your rifle if you have an akm stamped pattern it
should fit once you have it all installed it also has a very secure fit with multiple
points of contact you have so many and I cleaned it up a little bit but we'll clean it off
later so you don't see all my trash on here but we have M locks you have pickets any slots
you have QD sling studs all around it and so plenty of options for whatever you want
to do and you still retain your original sling stud right or sling Loop if you still want
to use a traditional type there so the alpha handguard has a heat shield underneath it
it's kind of holy so it will also dissipate heat but the barrel is completely cool now
let's see how many rounds I can get off and before I feel warm and all that good stuff
we have a dead tree here so good candidate all right here we go
that's 30.
okay let's take a little break of course heat will take a second to transfer it is still
cool as I'll get out right now I don't feel a lick a warmth here oh yeah oh yeah it's
a barrel shot that's impressive of course we know you know it would start to transfer
the more we go but that was 30 rounds a little bit more see if that tree falls off
yeah 35 rounds took care of that tree I didn't see it coming now we need another tree okay
I am starting to get a tiny just it's kind of like it feels like if if you touch your
face or something that's as long as warm as it is oh snap okay the uh the sling stud though
not stud but that sling Loop that's hot that's why but this the hand guard itself is fine
of course it's leaning towards us as well it's warm but it's the hand guard itself is
fine when I touch back at the receiver I feel warmth there of course that sling Loop is
still stinking hot but the hand itself that's 60 rounds and it's still good all right stay
good stay good stay foreign
ly after 90 rounds smoking I finally feel some heat in the hand guard but I can still
hold my hand there so that's pretty impressive look at that look at the smoke coming off
of it so three mag dumps still handleable I think we've used enough ammo for today but
that's kind of cool so back here at the rear we have our folding stock it's it just attaches
onto a picatinny rail it'll flip to the left or the right whatever you want to set it up
the stock is adjustable up and down you also have your cheek piece which is adjustable
that's very helpful when you have a railed optic but then also when you want your sights
or Red Dot you can just push it all the way down and you have five positions and slings
swivel studs as well now if you're putting an optic on it though I took mine off for
a second we have the rail top cover the cool thing about it is that it's supposed to Return
To Zero we're going to test that in just a second you have used these two struts that
go all the way and interconnect with the alpha handguard so yes it is uh they're kind of
married together you can't just get the top rail cover you have to use it in conjunction
with their hand guard but once it bolts on here you they have their patented button and
it's a tight lock up so it's going to keep all your dirt and dust out of course but once
we slap it down cycle it twice we should be able to be right back on target so you can
do Maintenance Cleaning lubrication all that stuff and not worry about it so now we're
going to accuracy test we have some Arsenal ammo from our friends over at American Marksman
so go to the americanmarksman.com check them out we're going to be shooting a 100 yard
Target we're going to do a control first where we can just shoot this one square we have
a 12 inch Target by made steel we're using the sightmark 6x
thank you is that the edge oh my gosh okay that's the same hole that's not bad okay this
is a century Washington so we can't expect too much out of it in the first place but
now what we're going to do as we open our top rail cover the gut rifle's still loaded
we're gonna burn two rounds because we need to make sure it's seated good so it actually
does Return To Zero so normally you'd rack it twice let's just burn two then we'll shoot
our Target and then we're gonna do that we may run low on ammo thank you so I shot at
the LaRue Target at 175 yards missed first one hit second so now we should be settled
a little left like everything else was up down so now we unlock our rail put it back
down burn two
okay so one of those shots was 261 was 175 and they both hit okay that's about on par
with our first group again lost or 10.
same hole pretty nice that uh Patton's locking button did good
all right
oh shoot that one went way to the right but I hit the 260 and the 175.
okay up and down
hit that one final group shot
not terrible let's finish the mag we had just enough that's awesome this is our control
group one of them was up here the others you know so we're talking if we ignore that one
which would make life easier on us today we we have about a four inch group this is our
made Target that was that was the one where we didn't remove the optic at all now this
one we were removing the top rail up and down the whole time we had one flyer we had one
flyer over there so to make all things equal if I just cover that up with my thumb and
we just say that's maybe a four and a quarter inch group it's pretty much the same and that
one was a little bit to the left this one's a little bit to the left I'd say that top
rail cover is holding
all right well cool deal guys hope you enjoyed a little bit of video If you're looking to
accessorize your AK go check out Midwest Industries they've got all the cool stuff and the cool
Rigs and yes you need a good watch to stay on time is it still ticking I haven't checked
we put like 200 rounds through this thing strapped here today and that Smith and Bradley
watch is still ticking thanks for watching today guys okay
