While overseas in some countries, these builds are still easily attainable, with import restrictions, and foreign production (for US sales) decreasing, we find ourselves wondering what we could do to familiarize ourselves to the "Russian Alpha AK". Introducing the "Alpha Trainer"; an ongoing project that Josh is working on with this AK build with parts that are widely accessible and non-NFA binding (as of right now), to layout a blueprint for the North American shooter to experience what the Russians have been working on with their AK systems. This build yields something comparable to what we have been seeing various Spetsnaz groups working with, while consuming US 5.56 cartridges and various US Domestic components, parts, and abiding by US local firearms laws. The "Alpha Trainer" is meant to be a living project to continuously adapt US parts that are comparable and make sense to use. This is intended as a host to experiment with many different accessories. In this episode, Josh takes us to the service rifle range to see how this "Alpha Trainer" concept rifle performs so far!
