Imbel MD97 and 1A2 Videos

[lawn gnome]

Starting with a strip and assembly of the MD97 by what I suspect is a police unit instructor.

Is it just me, or does anyone else want to slap people for not laying parts out left to right?

Looks like an FN trigger group.
The body cover seems to have both a back plate and a fixed rod and spring assembly similar to a CZ858.
The firing pin has a light spring like the Tavor, to stop floating into full auto accidently?

Other strange notes are 'screws' for the front hand guard removal or did I miss something?
The gas plug, piston, operating rod and spring remind me of an AR180 or a Tokarev.
Still an interesting rifle and another take on how the Brazilians went on from the FAL vs how the Belgians went the CAL and FNC route.

Next up the 1A2.

Swore I saw an 1A2 disassembly video some where.
I'll keep digging.

Found it.

Mechanically similar to the MD97.
Body cover with back plate and guide rod and retunr spring.
Big chunky bolt carrier, where the firing pin has a spring.
Seems the gas plug comes out easier but not enough video for the gas piston and operating rod.
It looks like the biggest differences are the updated modern furniture, folding stock and rails, otherwise just an update of the MD97.

I never expect to see one in Canada, but neat all the same to see the technical side.
