This video delves into Finland's final Mosin Nagant sniper rifle, the TKIV-85, adopted in the 1980s to replace older models. It discusses the two conversion options: a Mosin system with a new bedding block and a purpose-built Valmet Model 86. The TKIV-85 was chosen for its cost-effectiveness despite the Valmet being superior. Two variants are highlighted: a military version and a dual-use competition rifle with lighter barrels and aperture sights. The video thanks Frozen Trigger for access to the rifles and promotes a Kickstarter for a book on Finnish small arms.
This video features a range test of Knight's Armament's "Assault Machine Gun," available in both 5.56mm and 7.62mm calibers. The author highlights its lineage from the Stoner 63 and its direct relation to Eugene Stoner's Model 86 light machine gun. The review focuses on the weapon's unique constant recoil system, which results in a steady force rather than sharp impacts, leading to exceptional controllability. The video also mentions the book "Chassepot to FAMAS: French Military Rifles 1866-2016" by the same author, with preorders open via Kickstarter.
