AK47 Feed System Secrets

1583 Views 4 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Clint,

I was thinking about the bottom 6Oclock lug on the AK bolt and trying to figure out if there was anything special about the feed system.
I have a few questions that one of my brothers with an AK laying around could answer.

When you insert a full mag with the bolt closed, is the cartridge stack depressed by the bottom of the bolt carrier?
Any difference in insertion force required if the bolt is held back during insertion?

Does the bolt carrier drag/touch the top cartridge during its initial rearward movement or is it only the bottom lug that interacts with the cartridge stack?

Thanks

Cool picture here.

Re: AK47 Feed system

Clint always has good tech stuff going on. I'm following this post for info also. Someone will probably pitch in before I can verify this through my brother who is suffering through an AK fetish at the moment. He's not around, I tried to call him.

Where do you find your graphics?
