there are so many things wrong with this gun starting with price, it has 2! rail mounts why is there a side scope mount whene it already a monolythic type rail already, the ak's weakiest selling point is its weight. krebs should of fluted the barrel or anything wieght isssued. finaly the next weak point is its not tactical/ergonamical. if only i was rich i'd make the worlds BEST AK 47 EVER not joking.
You can't compare apples to oranges. AK's are a weapon system on its own and you can't benchmark it against any AR platform black rifle. As far as Krebs is concern, a waste of money on a Kalashnikov dressed up to look like an AR 15. If you want AR 15-like features on your battle rifle, well then buy an AR! This is like buying a Chrysler 300 and accessorizing it to make look like a Bentley. Dumb! Sorry Nutn, but I don't like the Krebs. Waste of money.
As much as I love optics, rails, etc, I have to say that I really dislike this system. The AK series, in my opinion, has a very specific POU, that is, rugged, reliable, GTW/WROL/Defense gun. When you start AR-ifing an AK, you're trying to force it out of it's POU, thus the weight, and the lack of accuracy in exchange for weight. I do endorse the use of lights and red-dots on AK systems, as they eliminate some of the problems of the system. An AR however, has a POU compatible with rails, etc.
An over priced AK 47! And it isnt any more accurate than a WASR 10. For that money I would expect excellent accuracy. If your gonna spend that much money buy an accurate battle rifle for sure. Ill keep my WASR 10.
@daytonascanner WASR's are good, IF u look for the bad points and make sure they are all good. I would never ever buy a wasr online, Krebs or Arsenal's though i wouldn't feel so nervous about.
that dam thing is heavy i have on i took hunting and it sucked. but i never had it fail ran some ammo i shouldnt have shot. i ran shot it any way an never had a jam
I generally like Nutnfancy's reviews, and his AK vs. AR really helped me make a choice, but you can't get any 7.62X39 ammo to shoot the thing? Really? So this was actually a review of an AK shaped paperweight. Maybe next I'll check out an auto review where the car sits still with the engine off.
@philpost1 Tabletop Review. Said in the first 10 seconds. Sorry you didn't get your bang-bang but if you were familiar with the terminology you wouldn't have been so disappointed.
@TheRickIRL Marc Krebs makes a nice rifle. I had a gorgeous Tantal from them once. However, this rifle is definitely over-loaded. With the recent advances in the AK market you can build a similarly effective rifle, which weighs less. Tactical is light actually...Tactical means getting more out of your same component in the most effective/quickest manner possible. This is where advancements come in. Weight always translates to speed (unless you're down to measuring half-ounces etc.).
Recently saw an AK-74M (5.45mm cal) of a guy from Russian special forces, he serves somewhere in Caucasus region, so he uses his AK for fighting almost daily. As someone commented resulting looks of that AK "OMG, what they have done to M4?!" 8D
It had retrofittted metal folding triangular stock (says it's lighter than newer plastic, didn't knew that) with a cheek rest from SVD on it. American made grip, handguard with rails and attached forward grip, and an Americn made mid level red dot.
AK is an AK damn reliable not super accurate" "depending on round and ammo", and if you miss you got 29 more rounds, but personalty for a Krebs i would save for an entry level AR-10 or 15 but thats me, Krebs or Arsenal is just a fancy Saiga. If you want accuracy get a bolt action bull barrel and floated trigger... but then only as accurate as the shooter. I can't really shoot my Saiga all that well but I can tack drive with my 1942 Tula Mosin, its odd, its like food every one has there taste
people shouldnt get so polarized on guns...what works for some doesnt mean that it will work for others....i like putting ar stuff on my ak....it makes my gun unique and for me it works. i like modding my gun/gear TO ME TO SUIT MY NEEDS. if people in this country worried more about themselves than that of what others are doing this country would be better off.
oh n btw gun weight for me isnt an issue...cause if the SHTF im sure there will be plenty of gear and guns laying on the ground.
what a gay looking AK. I hate when American companies ruin the AK design by trying to "Americanize" it with a bunch of gay AR parts. The original AK design is amazing why ruin such a great design that the russians made? Thats why i went arsenal, although the polymer furniture is gay too, i made some custom wood furniture on it and it looks amazing. Im sure it shoots fine though but the design is just horrible.
@Kylef7735-- As a Soldier myself lighter is always more desirable, but you have to ask yourself at what cost.
I toted an M4 Carbine around Iraq, with a Knights RAS system, pistol grip foreend, and an Amipoint red dot sight with the appropriate mounting hardware.
With all that crap, the weight starts adding up quick. If I was a straight up 11Bravo then we could have included a IR optic and laser as well adding yet more weight.
As I said before it is all subjective to the individual.
lol if you want to save yourself money get a Saiga sporting rifle, get a conversion kit from K-var, save yourself about 1000 dollars, and customize as preferred, and save money, that kids is a Saiga receiver.
Robinson Armament has a limited number of Vepr's again, but no KTR-08; just the KTR-03 in .223. You're right though about the price; it's insanely high.

Hi...just wanted to say think you for this and all of your videos. I've read some of the comments from other viewers, and I confess, I am at a loss as to some of the "egos" that show up. You've always provided good, solid data, and that's been important to me personally with some of the purchases I have made for equipment. So, thank you.
Everyone who is saying nutn is a pussy for choosing a light weight system obviously hasn't been carrying 100 pounds of gear in the Iraqi mountains for 3 days in 100 degree heat. Not even 50 pounds of gear for 3 hours hiking in their mountains. Now if you are going to be a gunner that is going to sit in a pretty stationary location giving cover fire then why not get a 20 pound gun and carry 70 pounds of gear you really aren't going to need all of the movement that people who would be bustin doors
A heavy AK, thats fine.I would rather it be heavy but always work then a light AR that might jam but yes this seems to costly.If your going to spend 2 grand you might as well get a FN Scar.
Save your money and get a AK74, no reason to get a SCAR. Overhyped pricey pos, nothing that the AK74 does not already offer and the 74 has a better round.
put up a vid of you doing som runnin and gunnin with ur ak, dont forget to include ur pistol, pistol mags, extra ak mags, and your tac vest. and do it over and over, not just once. seriously let me know wen you post it
"normal capacity", thank you, wish our California representatives would be reasonable with all of our ridiculous laws... laws which still did not stop criminals in the North Hollywood Shootout from possessing 100 round drums. Stand up non felon citizens go to jail for owning 30 rnd mags, while criminals can still get them, no problem.
I've got 3 AR's, one has a 16" .936 barrel and a PRS stock, weighs like a tank, coyote gun. An LT104 with a Burris xtr1-4 rides on the side rail while the NV scope is on the main rail, and also has BUIS and a TNVC Torch. GUN. WEIGHS. A LOT. I carry it miles at a time through snow and mud. When/if I ever have to leave the house in a SHTF situation, my 9# WASR-10 will be joining me, wihout question. It's the cheapest, and best gun I own, never lets me down. He aint heavy, he's my brother.
I was curious if they chose the single hook or the sheppards crook instead of the redstar retaining bracket to accomodate that thumb operated safety. Did not see enough of the FCG to determine that.
Lighter is almost always a better system. your simply uneducated if you say weight doesn't matter. ohh and i muted the video after he said $1400. there are a hundred better options if your in that price range. and i would never burn $1500 on old technology.
The KTR 08 and 09 are awesome guns. My buddy has several different calibers in that gun now, and I just bought 2 of them. And the price point on this gun is fine or better than most if you ask me. I hate cleaning my AR, these KTR’s are way easier to clean as well. Also, the KTR is accurate, very accurate. In fact, I’d go against any AR with the KTR in any situation. And the KTR won’t jam when it gets hot or dirty... Pros and cons to everything though.
@daybreak1HP its not like there isnt other gear u have to carry along with it.. it all adds up besides any1 in good shape can walk around with 100lbs over their shoulders its just if u had only 30lbs on your shoulder you can walk faster and longer.. maybe even run
Just from time to time please zoom out and let us see the entire rifle, that way it's easier to figure out how the detail relates to the complete weapon.
in my opinion the "AK" as it is being commonly called is a completely butt ugly gun that not even a mother could love, having said that i could not for the life of me ever get the thing to stop firing.
ar style rifles are the opposite, get a little dust in the reciever and you find yourself taking the gun down and cleaning it out.
Hi CAN any one help me out on the best ak 47 model/ maker out there in the market? there's so many it gets confusing. I have an idea in my head that Russia still makes the best ones period but please help me out peeps
@TheRickIRL Um maybe you need to go hiking around with a 90 lb load, body armor, AND that 11 pound choice of guns to gain an appreciation of SAWC, yo. It's EASY to discount the importance of WEIGHT from the keyboard.
@nutnfancy Ive seen you videos. You are very thorough and subjective. I appreciate your research. I know you like AKs that's cool. I guess Im an AR kinda guy. weight is important, I'd rather go light so I can carry more ammo and optics. besides, after a few hrs the added weight will definitely take its toll on your body. So for those that feel that NOT toting a 12-15 lbs weapon system is being a pussy, with respect, you boys need to rethink that especially when humping a full pack and armor.
@daybreak1HP Lighter weight means you can carry more capabilities simpleton...discussed many times here in TNP. And maybe you should prove your super studness by some demonstrating HIKING videos. I know YOUR system probably consists of your 12 lb stick, a pack of cigs, 20 rds and your Miller Lite but I cary more; a lot more. Sometimes heavy guns are necessary in POU, but not in tactical carbine. It's idiocy. Get your facts and understanding aligned before you come here to play AE with me.
@nutnfancy i was just wondering i see that you test gear have you ever seen any action by action i mean have you ever actually had to use any of your guns
@daybreak1HP It has nothing to do with being a pussy. If you want confirmation of that, look at his Glacier Call videos..he's going straight up a mountain with 90 lbs on his back..all day long. Upload a vid of YOU doing that on your channel and you won't appear so much like an armchair commando. Reign in your insults, especially if you do not comprehend that he's talking about weight as part of a system. -- Veri
@nutnfancy My father might call someone a pussy for complaining about 11-13 lbs, but then again he was a M-60 gunner when was in Vietnam. Before then, he was carring an M-1 Garand (He said he never got the chance to play with the M-14.) ME, on the other hand, like light. Only disavantage of light is felt recoil but 5.56mm never had that much anyway. Good video by the way.
I got a TapCo upgrade kit for it and for only $120 I now have mounts on the top & bottom (where the gas tube thing is) and have installed a much-needed scope (Im not the best shot) on her.
The beauty part is that its all Polymer where it used to be wood and its looks sweet AND is tactical.
@Kylef7735 i am talking from own experience no offence , it is a good system but compare to others in his class the acuracy let him down because the barrels are too " skinny " ( there are some special versions with thicker barrels but i never tryed one of them )
picked up a yugo m70ab2 for 475.00 (with Tapco trigger/heavy barrel/1.5mm receiver) so the prices have come down since the frenzy with Obummer admin. comin into office. these rifles are modular so upgrade as funds allow.
all krebs did was up date a 63 year old design i like old school ak's i got 3 but lets be honest its pain in the ass to to mount lights sights and all that good stuff on the regular models i dont like mounting holographic sites on my foregrip but thats me id rather pay 1375$ for a 5.45 or 1475$ for a 7.62 ktr-09 which is a ak on roids then 4000 for a hk 416 2600 for a acr or 1550 for sr 556
i have to agree that there is way too much talk that has nothing to do with the review man ...i like your reviews but please cut the bs about nothing and get to the review.
You can just build one of those, dudes! Go to Saiga-12 and check out the forums and learn. Krebs will charge you out to ass for something that you can build for far less. It's more fun that way too. Moving the FCG forward isn't that difficult. Once that is done, it's all downhill from there. Bolt that VLTOR CAR stock adapter on - get a sweet Magpul stock for it, slap on a rail of your choice, attach a Hogue AK grip, get some SureFire Gun Mags, and you're good to go!
nice gun, weird complaints. you really cant complain about weight. you're just carrying it in your hummer or volvo or whatever and then shooting it for maybe 2-3 hours. also the accuracy, you can't expect 1 MOA or less out of an AK. maybe an RPK with tricked out crap on it or a PSL. the sights are fine. If you can hit what you're aiming, it works great. if you can't, well, you need a new gun. the safety, how, can you complain? you're shooting for fun. Seriously. Screw tactical gun culture.
@GasmaskGorbachev762 You really need to watch more TNP videos to see where nutn is comming from. The way nutn trains with his weapon, weight is a legit concern. He is not all about just shooting for fun. Some of us actually anticipate that we may have to use our weapons for "business use", example katrina. If you just want to be a Rec. shooter and shoot from a bench, thats fine. But dont come in here a flame someone for actually wanting to be prepared to use his weapon in a real world scenario
Hey Nutnfancy thank's again for this review. This krebs have some interesting gimmicks, but to me it seems to be "only" a pimped Izmash Saiga - and so it's very overpriced for this...
Question:
Would it be possible, that you could do reviews and SH shootings on some G36/SL8 or civilian HK G3's? Im sure it would be very interesting for your european viewers....
Great gun Nutnfancy but, if I was going to have to deal with that kinda weight I'd want a milled reciever. But thats just my point of view. When I get an Ak I usually like to get a more authintic weopon.
P.S. try out the Russian PK-AS r.d.s., I'm pretty sure thats what the russian military currently uses on the AK47m.
@Last1Left2324 The milled reciever offers no advantage over the stamped one. Arguebally, the thicker reciever on the krebs gun offers no advantage either.
Made in russia but with american parts? Disappointing...

You can't compare apples to oranges. AK's are a weapon system on its own and you can't benchmark it against any AR platform black rifle.

This is like buying a Chrysler 300 and accessorizing it to make look like a Bentley. Dumb! Sorry Nutn, but I don't like the Krebs. Waste of money.

Everyone who is saying nutn is a pussy for choosing a light weight system obviously hasn't been carrying 100 pounds of gear in the Iraqi mountains for 3 days in 100 degree heat. Not even 50 pounds of gear for 3 hours hiking in their mountains. Now if you are going to be a gunner that is going to sit in a pretty stationary location giving cover fire then why not get a 20 pound gun and carry 70 pounds of gear you really aren't going to need all of the movement that people who would be bustin doors

A heavy AK, thats fine.I would rather it be heavy but always work then a light AR that might jam but yes this seems to costly.If your going to spend 2 grand you might as well get a FN Scar.

Save your money and get a AK74, no reason to get a SCAR. Overhyped pricey pos, nothing that the AK74 does not already offer and the 74 has a better round.

I've got 3 AR's, one has a 16" .936 barrel and a PRS stock, weighs like a tank, coyote gun. An LT104 with a Burris xtr1-4 rides on the side rail while the NV scope is on the main rail, and also has BUIS and a TNVC Torch. GUN. WEIGHS. A LOT. I carry it miles at a time through snow and mud. When/if I ever have to leave the house in a SHTF situation, my 9# WASR-10 will be joining me, wihout question. It's the cheapest, and best gun I own, never lets me down. He aint heavy, he's my brother.

I was curious if they chose the single hook or the sheppards crook instead of the redstar retaining bracket to accomodate that thumb operated safety. Did not see enough of the FCG to determine that.

The KTR 08 and 09 are awesome guns. My buddy has several different calibers in that gun now, and I just bought 2 of them. And the price point on this gun is fine or better than most if you ask me. I hate cleaning my AR, these KTR’s are way easier to clean as well. Also, the KTR is accurate, very accurate. In fact, I’d go against any AR with the KTR in any situation. And the KTR won’t jam when it gets hot or dirty... Pros and cons to everything though.

in my opinion the "AK" as it is being commonly called is a completely butt ugly gun that not even a mother could love, having said that i could not for the life of me ever get the thing to stop firing.
ar style rifles are the opposite, get a little dust in the reciever and you find yourself taking the gun down and cleaning it out.

@TheRickIRL Um maybe you need to go hiking around with a 90 lb load, body armor, AND that 11 pound choice of guns to gain an appreciation of SAWC, yo. It's EASY to discount the importance of WEIGHT from the keyboard.
nutnfancy 1 year ago 38
@nutnfancy Ive seen you videos. You are very thorough and subjective. I appreciate your research. I know you like AKs that's cool. I guess Im an AR kinda guy. weight is important, I'd rather go light so I can carry more ammo and optics. besides, after a few hrs the added weight will definitely take its toll on your body. So for those that feel that NOT toting a 12-15 lbs weapon system is being a pussy, with respect, you boys need to rethink that especially when humping a full pack and armor.

THOMASGODBOUT123 7 months ago
@daybreak1HP Lighter weight means you can carry more capabilities simpleton...discussed many times here in TNP. And maybe you should prove your super studness by some demonstrating HIKING videos. I know YOUR system probably consists of your 12 lb stick, a pack of cigs, 20 rds and your Miller Lite but I cary more; a lot more. Sometimes heavy guns are necessary in POU, but not in tactical carbine. It's idiocy. Get your facts and understanding aligned before you come here to play AE with me.

@nutnfancy My father might call someone a pussy for complaining about 11-13 lbs, but then again he was a M-60 gunner when was in Vietnam. Before then, he was carring an M-1 Garand (He said he never got the chance to play with the M-14.) ME, on the other hand, like light. Only disavantage of light is felt recoil but 5.56mm never had that much anyway. Good video by the way.

I have a similar AK. Mine is semi-auto as well.
I got a TapCo upgrade kit for it and for only $120 I now have mounts on the top & bottom (where the gas tube thing is) and have installed a much-needed scope (Im not the best shot) on her.
The beauty part is that its all Polymer where it used to be wood and its looks sweet AND is tactical.
I LOVE my rifle. I wouldnt trade it for nothin.

You can just build one of those, dudes! Go to Saiga-12 and check out the forums and learn. Krebs will charge you out to ass for something that you can build for far less. It's more fun that way too. Moving the FCG forward isn't that difficult. Once that is done, it's all downhill from there. Bolt that VLTOR CAR stock adapter on - get a sweet Magpul stock for it, slap on a rail of your choice, attach a Hogue AK grip, get some SureFire Gun Mags, and you're good to go!

nice gun, weird complaints. you really cant complain about weight. you're just carrying it in your hummer or volvo or whatever and then shooting it for maybe 2-3 hours. also the accuracy, you can't expect 1 MOA or less out of an AK. maybe an RPK with tricked out crap on it or a PSL. the sights are fine. If you can hit what you're aiming, it works great. if you can't, well, you need a new gun. the safety, how, can you complain? you're shooting for fun. Seriously. Screw tactical gun culture.
GasmaskGorbachev762 1 year ago
@GasmaskGorbachev762 You really need to watch more TNP videos to see where nutn is comming from. The way nutn trains with his weapon, weight is a legit concern. He is not all about just shooting for fun. Some of us actually anticipate that we may have to use our weapons for "business use", example katrina. If you just want to be a Rec. shooter and shoot from a bench, thats fine. But dont come in here a flame someone for actually wanting to be prepared to use his weapon in a real world scenario

Great gun Nutnfancy but, if I was going to have to deal with that kinda weight I'd want a milled reciever. But thats just my point of view. When I get an Ak I usually like to get a more authintic weopon.
P.S. try out the Russian PK-AS r.d.s., I'm pretty sure thats what the russian military currently uses on the AK47m.

@Last1Left2324 The milled reciever offers no advantage over the stamped one. Arguebally, the thicker reciever on the krebs gun offers no advantage either.
