Gun Cleaning 101, Cleaning an AK Platform

Otis TV

Carbon Score: 8.5

The AK Platform is known for its capability to fire a lot of rounds down range and probably hit something; they're also known for their loose-fitting parts that contribute to its reliability, allowing them to continue to run while caked in fouling and baked-on carbon. Like all things mechanical; even AK's require cleaning and lubrication. Any action that becomes too dirty can fail to operate. Kalashnikov recognized this and designed the platform with a cleaning kit hidden away in the butt stock and a cleaning rod below the barrel because it has to work when your life depends on it. In this video, Greg demonstrates how to disassemble and clean your AK, using modern cleaning equipment from Otis Technology, to keep it running smooth and looking great.
