The AN-94 Assault Rifle
The Izhevsk Shooting Club has produced a high quality seven part video series on the disassembly and reassembly of the AN-94 rifle. Unfortunately it is all in Russian, but most TFB readers will be able to follow what is being explained the first four parts of the series. Part five and onwards could really use a translation.
Part 1: How the fire controls, stock, sights are used and adjusted.
Part 2: Field stripping the AN-94, how the gas system and flash hider work.
Part 3: How the bolt, carrier, piston and balanced recoil works.
Part 4: Further disassembly of the rifle. How the trigger mechanism functions.
Part 5: Disassembly of trigger mechanism. Cleaning.
Part 6: How the safety and selector function (?).
Part 7: Reassembly.

I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

tHE POOR an-94 GOT THE SHORT END OF THE STICK . iT FAILED TO REPLACE THE ak-74m WHICH IS NO BEING UPDATED VIA ak-12 AND IS OO COMPLEX FOR PRACTICAL USE. ITS BURST FIRE MAKES IT A PLACE IN THE THE HISTORY BOOKS.
Hyperburst is the future, and I predict Australia will be the first to adopt a bullpup version of the AN-94 as their standard rifle.
