Viewer discretion is advised.

Welcome to the fourth edition of Beatin' On Guns With A Fuckin' Hammer. I am your master of ceremonies, Comrade The netherlands, here to accept you lot on another inebriated risk deep into the globe of Real-Steel to BB-Gun hardware conversion.

Today we're focusing on fixing maybe the unmarried shittiest component of the AK-style BB gun-- THE MAGAZINES. If y'all merely read one BOGWAFH, this should be information technology.

I have cleaved over 30 BB-gun AK mags. Yes, y'all read that correct. My long, arduous tenure in BB gun war, a curse I wouldn't wish on anyone, has destroyed over THIRTY AK mags. Here's the lot of almost xx broken magazines I posted for auction on Ruby-red Alliance... 5 years ago.

The problem here is that these mags are 'secured' to the BB gun with but two tiny plastic nubs that rip and tear out of the magwell when the even the slightest chip of torque is applied to the Magnum-sized mags used by the AK. An endless number of scenarios tin effect in busted nubs that permanently take the mag out of commission. ALL brands are susceptible to this considering they ALL source their plastic bodies from the same factory that makes Tampax Pearl. Remember the first rule of BB guns: ALL BB guns are garbage.

Earlier we become started, we need to wet our whistles. The macronutrients in beer provide long lasting energy, vital for powering through strenuous BB gun tech sessions. Today nosotros're drinking Yuengling Gilded Pilsner. This was smuggled in from parts unknown to the Caliphate of Kentucky, which does not permit the sale of seasonal Yuengling. It has fantastic, otherworldly appearance. Aromas of cracker, rice, white bread dough, and lightly toasted beige; with lighter notes of lemon, pear, apple, herbal, grass, pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant mouthfeel with skillful residue of pale malt/rice and light-moderate earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with high forcefulness.

We're going to be converting one of the most coveted AK magazines known to collectors-- the Soviet Aluminum AKM Waffle mag. This mag was part of an attempt to modernize and lighten the deport loads of the Soviet Union's paratroopers and 'spestsnaz' units. The extremely high-precision tooling needed to create these space-age box magazines has been lost to Russian engineers since the 1960s. Considering of their rarity, they command an extremely high toll in the Us among collectors. Do yourself a favor and don't expect up how much they cost.

Alright, first get your old BB gun mag and marking where to cutting on the new mag. If it'south busted ass lip is removable, remove information technology.

These photos were taken by a guest photographer. The bizarro photographic camera ratio is making me a piddling sick.... aye, that's information technology, the camera ratio.

Take hold of a dremel and cut the lips off. Look at you, wincing like you're cutting into your ain mother. Information technology's only money, numbnuts, you'll make more of information technology.

Ever err on the bourgeois side and cutting off less than you lot think is right, then sand to fit.

Ok, let's start working on the internals. This set of internals has the rear locking lug molded into the internals, so let's cutting information technology off.

You know what the best role of using ultra-rare collector mags is when you're doing this conversion? The fit of the mag internals in the bodies is approximately as tight equally a tranny'due south turd cutter-- that is to say-- not tight at all. On AK74 mags you gotta beat them into the body with a fuckin' hammer. Nice.

Look... Did I tell you the Aluminum Waffle mag also has a night, gritty backstory that may be unsuitable for some audiences? You come across, when the creator of the AK rifle, Mikhail Kalashnikov, got wind of its creation, he immediately drunkard collection to the Iszhmash manufactory and wrapped his '58 Lada effectually a nearby Walnut tree. 'They say' he emerged, 100%, completely, os sober, and so raked a nearby outhouse with machine gun burn. "YOU RETARDS Made A RIFLE Magazine OUTTA MELDED PBR CANS! ALL Y'ALL DIPSHITS ARE ABOUT AS Precipitous AS A SACK A' Wet MICE!" The Izsmash plant manager ran out, pleading for Mikhail to stop. Mikhail took a tin of Grizzly Wintergreen from his back pocket and connected to perforate the outhouse. "This shit'll make you a goddamn... sexual... TY RAN asaurus" he muttered, before stumbling off. If Mikhail thinks the Champagne of Magazines is shit, it's rubber to cut it up. True story.

OK, let'southward make sure our whistles are non only wet, just Existent wet. Wetter than DJT'due south ballsack after Sean Hannity'southward opening monologue. Gunna rip into a SECOND make of beer. You know the proverb-- beer after liquor-- never been sicker. Beer afterwards beer? Y'all're fine to drive bro, just believe in yourself.

Drill a new pin hole on the tiptop and press the pin in with your bench vice.

Hammer that floor plate on. Clench those floorplate lips in your vice so it doesn't slide off.

Examination fit often. When you tin stone and lock that mag, you're done. You now have a mag with armed services form metal lugs that will never snap off... ever.

Just some other success in a long succession of successes, as per usual here at BOGWAFH. Let's shut it out with a beauty shot of the mag and a grouping photo of Guffie's current core members. Bring it in close, boys.

BTW: This will be the final Beatin' On Guns With A Fuckin' Hammer posted on AI. We have decided to modify formats a piddling and post all future updates to the Guffie Coalition Youtube page, which tin can be institute hither: https://www.youtube.com/user/GuffieCoalition

If you lot have any comments or concerns we'd love to hear them. Thanks for tolerating this garbage on your otherwise safe for piece of work but mostly expressionless forum. HASTA LUEGO!
