"Building an AK-47"
Many of you have undoubtedly seen the startup projects several companies now are running for 80% AR-15 receivers.
No? A machine shop or forge will get prints for AR-15 lower receivers and run them through their machines until they are 80% complete. Basically leaving one of the most time consuming parts for the end user. [...]

Last week on the Facebook Page (you didn’t know we had a Haus of Guns FB page????) I lamented about the time 6 years ago I had an opportunity to buy an ORIGINAL Russian Dragunov SVD sniper rifle SYSTEM for a meager $800. Yes you’re reading that correctly. Being cash poor at the [...]

I’ve been running Magpul’s AFG2 forward grips on most of my defense rifles & carbines (both AR & AK) for the better part of 2 years or so now. I started with the original AFG then on to the RVG (Rail Vertical Grip) which was short [...]

Full Disclosure: Snake Hound Machine owner/builder Owen Martin is a personal friend of Haus of Guns. He’s contributed heavily to HoG as a source for AK background, knowledge and know-how. Nearly all of what I know of the Kalashnikov rifle comes from sitting under his tutelage. Even after having reviewed his first two prototype AK [...]

MEDIOCRE AK PISTOL HISTORY LESSON

Please excuse the crummy iPhone pics I used to snap these pics really quick, but I thought this was worthy of sharing.
Last fall I picked up a surplus of Yugoslavian AK surplus steel magazines with the bolt hold open feature. The purchase was sight unseen and I was disappointed to find that only one [...]

Here it is, short and sweet…
I’m new to the US PALM AK30 magazine game. Primary Arms ran a mega-sale for Columbus day and I ordered a bushel. One week prior I ordered a 3-pack of their US PALM AK Mag Repair kits to dress up some dingy old steel magazines I’ve been running. I [...]

Maybe the post of this rifle review should actually be “The ONE MOA AK.” Fair warning, this MAY blow your mind. If you suck at reading and prefer TV then watch the video. Or do both.
“RLTW” stands for RECON LIGHTWEIGHT TACTICAL WEAPON. The basic purpose is a slim and trim AK-47 with some hand [...]
