“Dracos come in many shapes and sizes, Graham Boy” 😂😂😂
Great vid!
Brandon, the last gun meme review was pretty shit
Brandon, Where’s the grease gun?
@@m1a2abrams52 bro, wth?
Brandon pleeeeease help me out with a question on the NAK modern production not the nak9s tho. Do the modern (not original batch) of the NAK9 still have the receiver cracking issues or has that been fixed I wanna expand my AK collection and ready to buy one tommorow. Please please please bless me 20 seconds of you time I know your busy AF. Please keep up the great work!
AK Jesus !!!
Ive had a 10.5" Romanian draco for a few years now. That thing is a blast to shoot. Literally !!! I have never had any issues with it at all that was not magazine related. Great pistol for the money.
I was told by several experts that the piston in the AK _must_ have play. For some reason the reliability will decrease if it's attached to the carrier rigidly. In fact that was done at few of AK rifles assembled in the U.S. before the problem was understood.
The classic draco is fckin beautiful
I have a micro draco. These things are awesome.
Draco.
The greatest tool for annoying the fuck outta everyone at the indoor range.
The question is does Dracula have a Draco? It's the next best thing to being being impaled. Great review and looking forward to the 2020 videos and beyond.
in old romanian, draco is pronounced dră koo. like drah koo lah. draco is basically devil in english
My 12.5 Draco did the same thing when I tried to remove the carrier the first time. A couple of hundred rounds later, it came out smoothly. It was really tight at first. But mine is rockin awesome after about 3k rounds. They have really gone up in price these past few months
Yeah they have! We've been watching that, but we're not going to sell.
How much is a good price
Great review Graham! Time to take the WASR out for some exercise.
Breakdown starts @4:30
Love the Draco. Doesn't seem like I can get the gas tube off though.
Nice this the first vfc time i seen all three together
Check out the article in Combat Handguns Magazine (October issue I believe) we compare all three against a rifle to show you what kind of energy these little guys still put out. I was surprised by the results.
@@GBGuns nice i have to check that out
Roma Draco, all the way!!
It's like you read my mind haha. Been eyeing one of these for a min now.
I have the steel mag in my standard Drac
I want to change my furniture to Cherry Wood drop me a link if you have a video on how to do it I’m new to your channel
Have you found funriture that fits the Draco or are you going to sand and stain the furniture yourslef?
@@GBGuns I found a company that has it
Nice video, but what is that lever on the r/h side just fwd of the rear sight?
On a regular AK that's for removing the gas tube. Since 9mm guns are direct blowback thetube is there only for aesthetics.
@@GBGuns Thanks, should it be in the down position?
Down is locked, up is to remove the tube
You doing your thing
I would love to see those 3 dracos along with the zpap92 comparison/review video🤤
We compared the 3 dracos in a Combat Handguns Magazine article. It's not fair to include the Zpaps, they're not the same quality they used to be
@@GBGuns meaning the dracos are better or that the zpap is better?
Meaning the Zpaps aren't as good as the old M models
@@GBGuns I personally think a zpap is better than the normal (bigger) size draco in lots of ways thb
I bought two early Zastava USA guns, both failed quickly.
is it the Roman or USA one
Romanian
Excuse my ignorance, so is this a short barreled wasr 10?
It might as well be.
Big jacket and it’s a ccw lol
So the full size doesn't have that little block n the back that the spring sits on on my mini it has a block that comes out to take the barrel out
Hey man so my recover on my Draco had dented and I’m trying to get a new one…do you happen to k ow if it’s the same as all other AK’s? And do you recommend any??
Hello I know this video is old 😂 but I have a question…I just bought a used one from a gun show and I disassembled. When I go to put my receiver cover back on the front of it pops up when I cock the gun, what am I doing wrong?
Sounds like you're not getting the front of the dust cover fully in place. Make sure you burry it in its groove before lowering the back down.
@@GBGuns okay thanks! 😊
How has it been any major issues any receiver cracking like the first ones were prone too?
Is the American made Draco forged? I know it's not in the video but I'm looking everywhere for answers and can't find anything
It is a stamped receiver.
I have my eye on the WBP Lynx or the more expensive Arsenal SAM7k, but this is a great beater AK pistol that will probably last just as long as any...
We have Lynxs on the way too!
@@GBGuns Awesome, looking forward to checking that out! 👍
Draco malfoy hood version
Do you shoot steel or brass
Depends on the application
Is the Micro louder than the full sized Draco? Thanks for video btw, very informative.
Not having owned one I’m a just say yes though.
The Micro Draco also has more “fireball” than the full-sized Draco.
Ok whats your opinion on using one for home defense? I have been shoot at by one
More compact and more powerful than an AR in 5.56, but VERY loud and flashy.
Can you recommend a hand guard for the classic style i cant seem to find one?
I'm struggling with something. I'm working with my availablity and trying to get an ak platform. would this be a good first ak purchase to actually put the work toward? Not the micro or mini obviously but It seems more promising than many common ak rifle platforms available.
Read my article in the current issue of Tactical Life Magazine on the Draco pistols
@@GBGuns whats the link
It's in print. The November/December issue of Combat Handguns
@@GBGuns ok thanks
I'm stuck between the Romanian made Draco century arms imports and the american made one on their site. Anyone have any info on if one is significantly better than the other? Thanks
Jorge Ojeda I’ve always been told the American made ones suck but I have no personal experience with them.
I have the Romanian imported one. It’s great! Had it a few years never had an issue
I have Century’s C39 V2 and a micro Draco. The Romainian ones are way better
Why does cugir dimple the Draco but not the wasr? Just something I always wondered.
Anyway the one with the pic rail rear and psa triangle brace is the set up you wanna go for.
Back when they designed it, they needed a single stack receiver to fit the new import laws. They probably decided that reinforcement plates are harder to fuck up than dimples, since Century was widening mag wells manually with dremel tools.
Do you oil it and where would you put oil at
I keep my guns pretty dry, but a light coat of oil should go anywhere steel drags on steel. After a hundred rounds or so you'll see these spots easily as they'll have a shine on them. This is a universal rule that applies to all guns.
Does it have a steel or cast iron trunion?
Wouldn't a shorter barrel have higher pressure? the barrel being shorter means there's less volume for the gasses to expand and the pressure to drop Would be my guess
Yes, but the drop off is quicker. Look at it like a tidal wave crash versus river current.
I'd get one if it didn't have that gang reputation
Better grab one before January 20th if you haven't already, gang reputation or not!
@@avenuempire why ?
I've got an odd question. My Draco has a lot of back and forth travel with my trigger pin. Basically as I am pulling the trigger the pin is traveling back a little bit further than I am use to with other AK variants. Is this just a little slop with that pin?
Likely, hopefully not a worn hole. If it's in and out then you may want to try a better retaining system.
@@GBGuns Just looking at your Draco and seeing that pin compared to mine, I think it is no different maybe just a little sloppier. Also I took a punch tool and applied some abnormal pressure to it to see if I could punch it out. Nothing, which is good. But I will get the retaining plate in there as soon as I can. Thanks for the reply!
I do have one question maybe you can answer, why is the trigger pin lower in the receiver than other AKs?
I don't think it is, I'll have to take a look and compare.
@@GBGuns
I would guess the whole trigger group may be lower though I guess not just the trigger axis pin. The bottom of the receiver is bulged where the pin is too and I don't see that on other AKs, although I've not seen them all.
Can a rifle stock be placed?
I have the same question
Sb tactical makes a brace for them
Cannot add a stock but can add a sb pistol brace
You can add a stock, but only after paying the government for permission to exercise your right.
Does the year make any difference that the draco was produced? Older1960 and up dracos vs newer dracos2020?
Whats the differnnce between draco, and draco c?
I've never heard of a Draco C.
Why don’t they have cleaning rods some do some don’t .
Just got mines yesterday and it didn’t have one.I was wondering the same thing
Can You Please Slow Down on demonstration
All 3 Dracos? You mean 3 out of 4.
The classic, the mini, and the micro, what's missing?
@@aubrey5569
Draco-C. They were built with the underfolder rear trunnion I believe is the only difference.
@@aubrey5569
Makes it easier to drill and tap the rear of the receiver to install a pig nose adapter or an Ace folding mechanism for an arm brace because you have more material to tap threads into. Plus, if you go the SBR route with one you can drill out the sides of the receiver and just add the underfolder without needing to change trunnions.
@@aubrey5569 NAK-9
Whats a draco-80? Ive heard about it but not much info, also i ha e seen draco-c and its was from the 60s
Bad experience with a zpap? Huh
Not one, but two! Walking pins, binding trigger, fake stain on the "Alpha" model. Total waste of money compared to the old M models.
Why there is no footage in your channel about your Center-T training and also didn^t know you speak russian
I did not film because I was there as a student while visiting Brandon for a magazine article.
@@GBGuns i was just watching your TP9 Elite SC video and i saw your response.I think that might be cool video to see you in training ..and i know now why you love AK's :)
@@avigares I spent 15 years on the tactical side of Army Intelligence and speak German and Russian. I used to speak some Serbian but it's been a long time.
This fol ain't even cover the hold top of the gun he just did the back side yall slow and he is too
Is there a way to install a stock on it
Of course. After paying the tax to the ATF of course.
@@GBGuns yeah of course I'm looking at building one up with all the Zenitco furniture and I'm getting suppressor as well
You'll likely need to drill and tap the end of the receiver
@@GBGuns hmm seems as if it would just be easier to buy a 12.25 draco with a stock adapter already on, would you recommend a Romanian draco over a Zastava? I know theres a bit of a price difference, I'm not to worried about that
@@TheWeekendShooter308 Yes I would. We had a terrible experience with not one, but TWO Zastava USA Z models. If you can find another M they're good,just heavy. For the finest build look for a WBP
any other Romanians watching this?
I'm here for the obligatory like but I can't personally get into the AK scene. I think they're ugly. Nothing against the function of the firearm or the effectiveness of 7.62......
Just ugly.
