Comparison between a wire recoil spring guide (as seen on most all stamped AKs) and a telescopic recoil spring guide (commonly seen on milled AKs). Testing whether there is any noticeable difference in felt recoil, recovery time, and the muzzle rise pattern from shot-to-shot. The two recoil spring guides used for comparison in this video are a Romanian recoil spring guide from a WASR-10/63 and a Bulgarian telescoping recoil spring guide, using standard weight recoil springs in both.
