The AK-105 is for me one of the most iconic rifles currently in use by the famed Russian Alpha group. It is the rifle of choice due to its short size but good ballistics. As I explain in the video I believe it was pure providence that the gas tube on the AK-100 series of rifles be at such a length that when shortened put the rifle's barrel at 12.4 inches. Even more interesting to me is that the AK-100 series of rifles were purely meant for export but certain models quickly found themselves in official service of Mother Russia. Hope you enjoy this video on my favorite rifle ever. The AK-105.
