ak47 teaser video trailer

Hi Guys,

As most of you are aware the AK that 8ace was working on was for me ,so now i have it in my grubby hands i thought id put a little video of it running through a mag (no stoppages!!) for you.
I will be doing a better video very shortly
enjoy

All those sleepless nights seem worth it now.

Just waiting for the job application from Hudson

8ace

Cool video.
I wish I could get mine to work like that now!

Fantastic

It's great to see this particular model in action as 8ace has spent countless hours working on it, not just adjusting this and that but re-working it's internals completely.
A helluva lot of effort has certainly paid off as it seems to work beautifully now.
Even Hudson's own promo video doesn't manage a burst that long

I would like to see a longer video at some point (please Kickback ) with several more bursts of fire. This is surely a one-off model Hudson AK47... it works Let's see more of it

Thanks guys,

But like you have said all the respect goes to 8ace for putting in so much time and effort...cheers mate.

I've shot some more video and will try and patch it all together tonight if i can,after all i've got to make it look at least half as good as Cerwyns vid's havn't I

i'LL be back......

Kickback

Ok,
Here is another video of the Hudson ak47,i'm afraid my skills at editing etc. are not a s good as Cerwyns but i did try

Enoy




Kickback

well done to both you and 8ace, nice to see a hudson AK working so well and i have to say it looks like it is working well. wish i now had an AK

Oh Boy oh Boy, that AK looks better every time I see it, fabulous!

It sounds really good and loud too.

I can't keep count of how many rounds your managing to fire in one burst mate, so how many have you got in the mag?

Great video too mate, remember that there's only 8ace and yourself ever that managed to video a Hudson AK firing more than about 5 before jamming... unique videos these !

Cerwyn,i have got 26 carts for the ak so far but to be honest they are really tight in the mag so i don't think i could fit any more in .
The cartridges are holding up really well too compared to the brass one's ,so it looks like i should gets lots of fun from this baby

Cheers
Chris

My work here is done

And How 'ace You ought to be proud of yourself mate ... What did someone here call you awhile back? God of Modelguns ? That sounds about right to me

26 rds is superb going Kickback, there aren't many models that'll rattle off that many without a stoppage. Superb stuff

I wonder if more cartridges will start to appear made from Aluminium? The only snag is you can't use Vinegar and Bicarb to clean Aluminium can you?
Ultrasonic and a tumble polisher it is then.

you`ve got your eyes closed ......you big girl


no seriously ..nice work all round there .

Question : If you become a God of modelguns for making a model work ...what are you if you make one ( or two ) from scratch ....... ?? .......LOL

True enough Doc, and full credit where it's due, your steel STEN is truly superb. I've seen one of your MP38s close up too and it is stunning.
Which reminds me, when are we going to see a full review on the MP38 and a video hopefully (please?) in the Blank Fire section? We've been itching to see one in action since the day you anounced it.
Did you ever get time to making pfc versions of the '38?

What I admire most about 8ace's achievement with the Hudson AK47 is that he's an amateur engineer working at home "in the garden shed" as it were.
Considering that Hudson themselves haven't got a working AK in production 8ace, in true good old fashioned British tradition, locked himself in his shed and sorted it.

There's more than one God in this world if you believe all these different religions 'ace, and yep, you can still claim God status... (especially if you get my '41 working )

ooh ooh ... if we are picking gods can I be Wotan / Odin ...

although friends should not talk about religion ............ it`ll upset the heathens .........Ha









(seriously though ...NOT knocking anyone`s beliefs )




DOC

You can be any god you like Doc

BTW, have you seen 8ace's strange looking Hudson Thompson bolt on

https://mp40modelguns.forumotion.net/hudson-m1a1-thompson-f19/thompson-bolt-identification-t1326.htm ?

Can you shed any light on it please?

Yes I`ve seen those bolts , had one myself ...First look I thought it was something to add strength to the face ...discounted this as soon as I unscrewed it and saw the spring and pin ...I then wondered if at some point Hudson had considered using this as some aid to ejecting the shells i.e back of the pin is struck and it forces the round out against the extractor and the spring brings it flush with the bolt face again ...its sort of in the right place for this ...of course there is nothing else inside the model to support this idea .

Would need to be more central to aid detonation of the shells.

Needless to say if Hudson abandoned the idea they would still have a load of cast bolts that they would need to fit these parts of end up with a hole .

thats my 2p anyway

DOC

Thanks Doc , I had a feeling you'd have some answers for this one.

I'll copy your message and post it with 8ace's question.

Looking at the vid again

I reckon that the fire rate is about right....... 2-3 seconds video time equals about 20-30 rounds.... 10 rounds a second ish is not to far from the 600 RPM of the real one
