This video provides an in-depth analysis of the AK-107 and Kalashnikov SR-1 rifles, focusing on their balanced recoil systems. The creator explains how the system counteracts bolt movement rather than bullet recoil, detailing its design with dual pistons and a connecting trolley. While the AK-107 is the military version, the SR-1 is a semi-automatic competition variant with an AR-style lower and magazine compatibility. The video notes the SR-1's commercial failure due to complexity, weight, and QC issues, highlighting that its flat-shooting characteristic is largely due to its muzzle brake, similar to AR competition setups. The Russian military ultimately did not adopt the balanced recoil system.
This video provides an in-depth look at the Kalashnikov SR-1 rifle, the civilian variant of the AK-107, known for its balanced recoil action system.

The review aims to determine if the system is a genuine innovation or merely a gimmick, offering valuable insights for firearms enthusiasts interested in AK platform advancements.
