This YouTube video showcases the .308 JAKL rifle, demonstrating its capability to reach 700 yards. The description details key features of the rifle, including its long stroke gas piston operating system, robust construction materials like 8620 and 4340 steel, and a 9310 bolt with dual ejectors. It highlights the monolithic 6061 rifle-length receiver and handguard, a 14.5-inch .308 Winchester barrel with a 1 in 10" twist rate, and a 5/8x24" thread pitch. The rifle is equipped with a Pin & Welded Huxwrx 762 Flash Hider, a B&T MBT Stock, and a Magpul MIAD Grip, all with a black hardcoat anodize finish and a black knurled charging handle.
This YouTube video, titled "How Does it Work: Long Stroke Gas Piston," delves into the mechanics of the long stroke gas piston operating system. The description highlights relevant terms like 'forgotten weapons,' 'rifle,' 'machine gun,' and 'how does it work,' indicating a focus on the technical aspects of firearm operation. The video likely explains the principles and functionality of this specific gas system used in various firearms.
This video provides a comprehensive review of the M+M M10X GEN 2.5 rifle. The presenter highlights its reliability and ruggedness, noting its ability to function with the cheapest ammunition available in Canada, specifically Chinese surplus 'spam can' rounds, having put 1000 rounds through it without issue. Key features discussed include its long-stroke gas piston operating system, free-floating barrel, 5/8-24 muzzle thread with included Chaos Muzzle Brake, monolithic handguard, ambidextrous controls, and its design for ease of field servicing. The rifle is presented as a blend of AK and AR platform familiarity, engineered in the USA. The review also mentions the Vector Optics Frenzy 1x18x20 red dot sight as a suitable optic for the rifle. The video acknowledges the Calgary Shooting Center for facilitating the review.
This video delves into Gordon Ingram's ambitious but ultimately failed Westarm .308 Battle Rifle project from the late 1970s and early 1980s. The description highlights a complex international collaboration involving Italy, Britain, Somalia, and the Dominican Republic. Prototypes were manufactured using British castings in Italy, intended for testing in Somalia as part of a rifle factory project. The rifle's mechanical design is compared to a scaled-up M1 Carbine with a long-stroke gas piston. Production versions were select-fire, while US-imported prototypes were semi-automatic only. The video mentions compatibility with FAL, AR, and AK magazines depending on the caliber (.308, .223, and 7.62x39mm respectively). The project's collapse is attributed to financial corruption, resulting in the Somali government receiving unreliable prototypes after a significant payout.
This video dives into the history and design of the SIG-Manurhin 542, often considered the last Swiss battle rifle. It highlights the rifle's AK-like operating system, its simple and economical sheet steel construction, and its development in response to the failure of the SIG 530. The description details how Swiss law led to SIG licensing the design to Manurhin in France, who produced both military and civilian versions. Civilian models, particularly in .222 Remington and .243 Winchester, were made due to French restrictions on military calibers. The video also notes the rarity of US imports and the presence of an original Hensoldt scope on the featured example from Larry Vickers' collection.

This video explains the mechanics of the long stroke gas piston system, a design popular in rifles and machine guns around 50 years ago. It details how the gas piston is attached to the bolt carrier, causing both to move rearward for the entire stroke of the cartridge. The description highlights its use in iconic firearms like the M1 Garand, Kalashnikov (AK), Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR), and ZB/Bren light machine guns. The system's benefits of improved extraction and feeding due to added momentum are discussed, as is its drawback of potentially increased perceived recoil.
This video explores the Madsen LAR, a Danish attempt to enter the military rifle market post-WWII. The rifle initially chambered 7.62x39mm before being scaled up for 7.62mm NATO. Mechanically based on the Kalashnikov system, it features a long stroke gas piston and rotating bolt similar to the AK. Despite its design, the LAR never saw serial production due to market timing and a lack of significant advantages over existing rifles like the G3 and FAL. The video features access to rare examples from the Royal Danish Armory Museum.
