The "mount" thing must be a Marine thing. I spent 8 years in the Army and it was always pronounced as it is spelled. MOUT, for us, was pronounced just like pout.

 

[1KPerDay]

Even back in the 90's, when we spoke of what Sam referenced, we pronounced it "mount".

To pronouce MOUT phonetically precise it would sound "moot", or "mute". "Mount" just rolls off the tongue much better, so when I told my guys, "We're scheduled for two weeks of mount training next month", everyone knew where we were headed, and that we'd be doing urban warfare training.


And it would undoubtably generate a few references to the vernacular from the crowd of young men as well . . . .


When I took my carbine class, I used an AK. The safety/selector switch is a little stiff. With a vise-grip and the right tension, one can make it easier to swipe the safety down without going too far to lock into the right spot.


Anyone recall what the progression of the lever is from safe on the "real deal"?

first click is auto, second click is semi, IIRC.

1KPerDay is right, and I think it's the most revealing feature of the real thing. It shows what its purpose is, and being a rifleman's rifle isn't it

Don't anybody get upset, I have chosen the AK platform as my go-to carbine. It's just a funny detail.

FYI my AKs are SEMI AUTO only.... I'm not sure how the full auto subject came up.

Yep. It goes from Safe, to Full, down to Semi.


I thought it had the right ergonomics for the job it was intended for. I respected it, and thought it was more robust than my M-16.


When I got out, I bought a civilian version for myself. To this day I've never owned an AR. I like it.

Go too Carbine

I have a AK 47, flawless operation, use it on our plinking range only (35 yds) shoots to POA, sits in the safe with a steel (Bulgarian?) full 20 round magazine mounted, empty chamber, original canvas sling.

Also have a Rock River 16" Carbine (16.1"?) best trigger I have ever felt on a Rifle.

But for going out the door, no idea if it will ever get into using a Rifle on the street? As is said, never say never. My Steyr AUG 16" Carbine is the bees knees in compact, flawless use weapon. It is over 20 years old, and has the built in 1.5 power Swarski scope, hit cheek, press, bang. Bought it from a friend, he did not fire it much, neither have I.

Krom, welcome to the THR Forum, will read your info now.

Krom,

Watched your video, very well done training video. That is the first time I have seen an Instructor, other than me! Describe the dead breath shot fire, they normally talk of letting half a breath out? Silly.

I have the original chunk of laminated scrap wood on my AK, I like your folder, what is that one you have, is it difficult to fit? Americans love to teach Mag changes when still "Rounds left" I know you were just showing how it was done, you handled the weapon well.

Good luck in your future endeavors.

Thanks! I'm using an ACE folding stock. Not hard to install but you have to cut off the tang that protrudes from the receiver into the top of the stock.

There are two types of receiver blocks for stamped AKs, one specifically for sagia's and another for regular stamped AKs. You mount the receiver block into the receiver, and then you can either mount a stock straight to it, or install a folding mech then the stock.

I really like the ace stocks because it puts the stock inline with bore, and it enables me to have the same cheek wield in different shooting positions since it is flat.

I just read the welcome abroad message and I wanted to let the members as well as the moderators know more about myself as a so called "instructor". I posted more about my bio at http://sites.google.com/site/sapponytactical/contributors
Also if the mods need a copy of any of my quals/dd214 lemme know. Thanks
