We had a real guest last week. That was nice. It’s over now. This week the comrades catch their breath and empty the tank: leftover tisms, rifle fondling, and an extended Mi-28 spiral that nobody asked for and everyone is getting anyway. If you wanted an agenda, last episode was your episode. This one is […]

This week on AK-47 Radio, the guys are joined by Washington Gun Law to dig into the latest NFA rulings and what they mean for gun owners. Then we turn our attention to Colorado, where increasingly aggressive gun-control laws may offer a preview of what anti-gun lawmakers will try to push nationwide. From the courts […]

It’s just Will and Sam holding down the People’s Airwaves tonight, which means any semblance of structure is abandoned almost immediately. After going thoroughly off the rails, the comrades manage to drag themselves back on topic for a quick dive into the Soviet SVT-40, its history, quirks, and place in the Red Army. Then they […]

Tonight the guys give their after action report from the 2026 GOALS in Iowa. They talk about what they saw, what they liked, who they met, and their overall impressions of the show. Then they revisit some of the more controversial firearms they got their hands on, which mostly means arguing about the Stenzel SAK-21 […]

On this episode of AK-47 Radio, the comrades head behind enemy lines to revisit the early-2000s war film Behind Enemy Lines. They break down the rifles, machine guns, and military hardware featured throughout the movie, separate the fact from the Hollywood fiction, and explain why the film probably gave you a wildly unrealistic idea of […]

Tonight the guys look ahead to the 2026 Gun Owners Advocacy and Leadership Summit (GOALS), talking about what they’re excited to see, who they’re hoping to meet, and why events like this matter to the firearms community. Then, in true AK Radio fashion, the conversation goes completely off the rails as they dive into their […]

Tonight on AK-47 Radio, the comrades spend an entirely unreasonable amount of time discussing rifle grenades, their history, and why the Yugoslav-pattern AK is uniquely suited to launching them. The whole detour is, of course, Sam’s fault after he picked up a Yugoslav underfolder and immediately became incapable of talking about anything else. Along the […]

Tonight, the guys sit down with Shawn Herrin, longtime warden of We Like Shooting, ball-tist, and creater of CIV Medical. They discuss why trauma training matters just as much as marksmanship, how to build a capable medical kit, and the mindset behind being ready when things go wrong. Shawn also shares the story behind CIV Medical […]

Three idiots on the internet talk about gun stuff, provide an update on the AKR Shooting Challenge, and follow a cosmonaut who goes on a terrestrial vacation to Tatooine and comes back hating sand.

Tonight the guy have an update on the first AK Radio shooting challenge update, brought to you by the Podastovian Agency for Control of Nuclear Resources and their ballin’ four letter agency three letter patches! Tune in to get the deets!

Join us as we dive again into the history of major Soviet firearms leading up to the development of everyone’s favorite banana mag rat-a-tat-tat machine. Picking up from the PPD-40, we see how the Soviets managed to develop mankind’s only submachine gun to skip something as technologically complex as… threading. Oof.

Join us for an off the rails episode to discuss what direction history might have taken if the AK-47 never came to be. It it a dark future, or just a goofy side quest into adopting yet another AR-18 knock-off? Listen in to find out what the guys have to say!

The Janitor is dead, long live the Janitor! Tonight the surviving members of the Party have the boys from Rimfire Radio on to discuss all things rim and fire! Maybe even some things and some stuff? Find out!

Mike had match results, Sam is a fanny pack man, and new patches? Tune in this week for some random shenanigans (did I spell that right? I dunno, I’m not Scottish) and fun!

Are iron sights on your rifle fudd maxxing? Mike and the Will go head to head, while the Janitor sits back and readies the Kalashnikov smack down WWE style!

Join us tonight as we talk about the BATFE’s new proposals, some of which might open the door to new combloc imports, but can the countries taken off the proscribed list actually provide? Sam does a deep dive so tune in to find out!

If you thought this show had a common theme you haven’t been paying attention… or something. A little random mashuop tonight of 10mm (per the metric system it by rights should be 1cm), Recreator Blanks, and some good old fashioned SIG bashing!

This week on AK-47 Radio: Sam lays out his plans to totally destroy his Zastava OPAP in the name of historical accuracy, a minty fresh Russkie SKS, the guys field some listener questions on oddball combloc guns, and Cosmonaut General burns up on entry!

There’s no commissarial oversight. Everything is burning to the ground. Mike and Sam are ’tisming all over the walls. Come see if the show survives without political oversight!

Tonight we move from the Winter War to the Continuation War, taking a look at the Finnish habit of stealing your guns and ammo after they kill you dead. Moving on from there, we take a look at the development of the RK series of rifles and how that peculiar Finnish habit influenced the adoption […]

Join us on this episode of AK-47 Radio as we dive back into our series on the History of the Gun. Tonight we take a look at the PPD-34/40, the Soviet Union’s first foray into submachine guns, and the fatal mistakes made leading into the Winter War with the Finns, where the Soviets finally learn […]

Join us this week as Sam attempts to mathematically prove that a map is genetically superior to GPS. With bold claims and questionable logic, he makes the case that traditional navigation still reigns supreme. Is modern technology failing us, or is this just a passionate defense of old school skills? GPS is dead, long live […]

Gear up with Sam for an upcoming land nav class, TAPs rig and surplus assault pack on deck!

Tonight the dudes do dude stuff, and talk about Mike’s recent competiton activites as well as floating a new idea of audience participation via LARPtastic Operation Challenges. Short bus applications only!

Comrade Commissar picks up a little Stargate action, the Janitor has put optics on is optics because he hears you like optics, and the Cosmo man is just crashed into the remote Urals and is presumed dead. All this week on AKR!

Tonight the dudes talk optics, optics, and more optics!

Tonight on AK-47 Radio Sam gives the AAR on his range day with the Midwest Industries Alpha AK and Krink rails, as well as pushing the Palmetto State Armory AK-101 past the 1000 round count. Will it lose headspace? Will Sam lose his head? If so, no damage done! Round it off with a Commissar […]

Another episode of AK-47 Radio is locked and loaded as the Party Janitor completely loses the plot. Tonight he rails up every AK he owns and gets absolutely zooted rattlecanning his Palmetto State Armory AK-101. Expect questionable decisions, bad ideas executed with confidence, and the kind of chaos that only AK-47 Radio can deliver. If […]

Not just another Moist Nugget! Join the crew as we talk about the run up to history’s most prolifit (and devilishly attractive) longarm! Along the way we are talking about Sergei Mosin’s famous garbage rod, why it might not be totally garbage, but why the bayonet certainly is. Odds of Sam devolving into chatter about […]

Tune in as the guys do the second half of their indirect fire Shot Show 2026 coverage. I promise they only eat up 15 minutes talking about obscure ground-effect cruise missile platforms, again.

Tonight the guys take a look at some of the cool new things coming out at Shot Show 2026, including a few things that might not be so cool. SAK-21? PKM imports? A freakin’ SR3M built in the land of Uncle Sam?!? That and more on this episode of your favorite Party-mandated gun podcast!

Enter at your own risk! The janitor is out of town and the Party is without proper leadership and direction! Will this be the last episode of AKR ever??? No, don’t be stupid. Just listen.

Tonight on AK-47 Radio, Mike and Commissar dig into the benefits of Ace VR and whether virtual firearms training actually translates to real-world skill. They break down what it does well, where it falls short, and who it actually makes sense for. Along the way, the guys get distracted as usual with range stories and […]

Join the guys on this episode of the AK-47 Radio Show as they look at this past year in review, AAR it and probably pretend like it was totally perfect with zero downsides! Turning to the year to come, someone mentions retro AR-15’s, the AK-100 series, and all hell breaks loose!

It’s the first annual AK-47 Radio Christmas MRE Special! Joined by Nick Dooley of the AR-15 Podcast! Tune in while you take that three hour bathoom break at the in-laws. We won’t tell…

Tonight the fellas are unsupervised by the watchful eyes of their chekist overlord! Dive into another humor and tanget filled episode of AK-47 Radio, the only podcast willing to pretend to be communists in order to free you from the clutches of corporate sponsored podcast slop!

On this episode of AK-47 Radio, the Party Commissar and Cosmonaut General dive into the SKS family of rifles, all without the technical (and moral) support of their favorite janitor! Can they make it through a whole hour without talking about Ekranoplanz? Who are we kidding?

On this episode of AK-47 Radio we launch our once monthly series on the history of the Gun; you know what gun. That gun! The Gun! Starting off easy with a brief touch on the Berdan II series of rifles, with mild tangents into the disasterous results of Tsarist serfdom and the usual gear chat, […]

Tonight the guys go off the rails faster than a budget AK at a mud test. They argue about which modern manufacturers are crushing it and which ones should probably switch to making garden tools. What makes them qualified to give such opinions? … Don’t ask questions. The Party disapproves!

Tonight the guys go a little off the rails as they dig into field gear setups for both rifle and pistol. They share what’s worked, what’s failed, and what’s just plain odd in their loadouts. Along the way, they compare modern kit to the classics and where each shines. And tucked in the mix is […]

Today we introduce the hosts, lay out the mission of the show, and ask the core question: Why AK? From pop culture mystique to Cold War steel, we discuss what draws us to the Kalashnikov platform and combloc gear.  In basic conscript terminology this explains why the hell these specific three morons are screaming into […]
