Great video. I can now see how those little soft polymer recoil buffers can have such a big effect on perceived recoil. The impact of the Bolt Carrier bottoming on the rear trunnion appears to be quite substantial.
I’m also impressed at how little bolt bounce is seen, despite the lack of a buffer.
@Andrew, I wonder what a Wolff XP recoil spring and/or the use of a recoil buffer would do to the recoil cycle? Again, another great video. 🙂
I love seeing the freeplay between the bolt carrier and receiver. And it still works. I always figured if someone in the US came up with that design, it would’ve never existed because someone in management would’ve said it wasn’t sexy enough.
If you have an AK that hammers the rear trunnion, you really should check the condition of the recoil and hammer springs before installing a buffer. Hot ammo(or ammo using the wrong powder) and an eroded gas port hole can also cause the bolt carrier to slam back way too hard.

I’m getting an AK (again) this week, so we’ll see.
