https://youtu.be/YagIIpex8Is Scaling the AK up to .50 BMG...how hard could it be? Today we find out, with a detailed looks at all threee iterations of Brandon Herrera's AK-50 project.
Google turns up nothing. You’re gonna have to link it if true.
Also this was a controversy from 3-4 years ago. I’m willing to let the man grow. Unfortunately this very thread starting with him working with Brandon “Don’t simp for communists” Herrera.
I completely agree that Herrera is a MAGAt bootlicker but I don’t have political expectations of Ian since, as far as I am aware, he doesn’t publicize his politics.
Oh same honestly. I think he ultimately did the right thing with the publishing issue. He also made the correct business move sorta staying out of it when Karl Kasarda was having a spat with Browning and the ar15.com forum.
Ian’s dome a pretty good job being a neutral observer and has course corrected both times he’s started to swerve.

I have not read this book yet and only have it because I was in Haymarkets book club for a while. So I can’t attest to the quality other than I generally trust Haymarket.
Since when was Ian fascist?
Tried to publish a book written by a Nazi then cried about it when everyone said “No I’m not buying a book written by a Nazi”
Its how a lot of us learned about Ukraine’s Azov battalion and their Swarze sonne symbol.
Fascist? He has written for the Jacobin.

Yeah I don’t think that’s the guy who was imbedded with the Azov battalion during the Ukrainian civil uprising in the early 2010s
That’s also not Ian McCallum.
But that is the guy I recommended earlier in a different thread.
Are you confused or am I?

Were you not saying this was the book Ian tried to have published?

While we were having this back and forth I was also talking in another thread about wanting to read more Cuban history.
Let me find the actual controversy book.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the guy did publish it under a pen name and different title.
