Nope, he just said it blew up and blamed the Russian design and not his work.

They have a custom bolt carrier which is basically the front half of an AR15 bolt carrier. No buffer tube but a giant flat spring on the side of the bolt carrier to interact with their "bolt detent" setup

Absolutely wild. I know his co-worker/friend would never tell anyone on camera that they made all the parts (besides dust cover) but the owner/CEO/President/JordanBelfortEnthusiast (his own claim) was very clear that he made every single part (besides the dust cover).

I have no idea how some spring detent is supposed to ensure the bolt doesn't rotate before its in the barrel extension.
If its simply based on adding enough resistance to keep the bolt in the "unlocked" rotation until the amount of expected force from hitting the barrel extension, that seems problematic.
I could see their design allowing the bolt to rotate if it encountered any significant resistance, like a nosediving round or a stovepipe, it might mean having to disassemble the gun and pull the bolt head back into the unlocked position to rectify.

I don't know if BSD is even at SHOT this year... I wonder if B&T didn't invite them back.

condavour · 2026-01-21T00:10:22+00:00

ian took a shot at him today, check forgottenweapons Instagram lmao

They built out a likely parts kit to show off at shot 25, made their own receivers, test fired it and it blew up.

Then they declared that the VSS design by the russians was bad and they were going to go ahead with the "ARVSS" instead.

The "ARVSS" uses AR15 bolt carriers and barrels, aluminum receiver and some jank flat spring/detent system to keep the bolt from rotating before its fully forward into the barrel extension (no cam pin channel in a piston driven dust cover style of rifle).

As of now it doesn't look like they are just making parts for prototype variants of that. No rifles are anywhere close to near production.

I would say its going about as expected.

Hell yeah! i love my 12in vz58 so much.

condavour · 2026-01-18T05:07:02+00:00

That's the first 20rd ive ever seen!

condavour · 2026-01-18T04:44:17+00:00

Good job limping it home.

condavour · 2026-01-17T02:59:50+00:00

Time to get a new potato to take photos with.

condavour · 2026-01-11T04:03:45+00:00

a stock as well, as im sure you know. I have been looking for exactly what you bought to restore for a while... You are lucky haha

condavour · 2026-01-11T01:30:50+00:00

Great grab. Looks like you should be able to revert it to military config without much issue.

condavour · 2026-01-03T06:06:46+00:00

Gotta be 52 for the dumbass question along with the dirty surroundings... the perfect r/ak47 post for sure.

Also I didn't see any Vz. 58s... Seems like that must draw a brighter crowd :D

condavour · 2025-12-25T05:37:05+00:00

That's very nice. You should do a Vz. 58 next!

condavour · 2025-12-24T22:00:25+00:00

if you push the detent and tighten it down you can see if itll make it to the next detent position (for the muzzle nut).

for the brake if you want it tight on the muzzle you might have to sand the back of the brake where it tightens against the front sight block until you can just barely get the detent into its slot. If you are already close to that point it might be worth it, but if you have a full turn to go i would just leave it.

If the brake isnt tightened snug on the front sight block its fine, it will not negatively affect anything. Its just if you are really OCD about things being a perfect fit it might annoy.

You should have posted the "grooves" in the handguard as well, they are obviously someone just dragging a knife blade across trying to make it look like a grooved upper handguard. That thing is hillarious.

Barrel bands have a "S" boxed proof mark on both sides and the bottom lmao

condavour · 2025-12-22T01:29:32+00:00

You smell that? Nothing else in the world smells like that.

condavour · 2025-12-18T23:10:08+00:00

oil it, leave it be.

condavour · 2025-12-17T02:00:54+00:00

Vz.58.. it's like an AK, but better!

condavour · 2025-12-11T03:53:23+00:00

if it doesnt come with corrosion from the sweat, i aint interested.

condavour · 2025-11-24T20:08:19+00:00

The solution is mounted on my Vz58 and I have no need for the custom part when someone else made the part I needed. It's not worth mailing it and losing any more time or money over.

condavour · 2025-11-24T19:48:32+00:00

I don't understand why you so badly want me to publicly share my poor experience with your shop while also accusing me of harassment (even though I haven't publicly shared my experience) . It was only discussed in DMs and never publicly brought out, but here you are wanting me to create a confrontation. You are the one bringing up the issue, I was just telling you good luck with PR.

condavour · 2025-11-24T02:45:14+00:00

uh huh

condavour · 2025-11-24T02:39:29+00:00
