chas Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 I just spoke to Fung (the guy who runs gunnerairsoft.com) on MSN. I wanted to add an M4 stock to my order and he is giving me one for free! My M60 is not in stock (ordered it 2 days ago) so, instead of shipping it out next tuesday, he's getting one from a friend's shop and shipping it this saturday. If that's not good customer service, I dont know what is. OK, lets cut to the cheese: Danmu (who, as far as I know, only make conversion kits for AK and AK accesories) are bringing out an AKMS and a Galil conversion kit, ALL STEEL and real wood. Estimated arrival at Gunner's is late august for the AKMS and october for the Galil. Price: Fung estimates 185$ for the Galil and a bit cheaper for the AKMS. Just guestimations. If these conversion kits are like the other Danmu kits, you will only need a gearbox with motor, a hop up unit and an inner barrel. Using Cyma and Element parts, the total should be around 235$ plus shipping. Link to post Share on other sites

PlasticMag Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Very interested in an AKMS. I'll be anxious to see how these turn out. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 This review shows a few problems with the AIMS kit, but I still think its a pretty nice kit. And the look of the steel is just amazing, Dont know whether its blued or what but its like 2 times better than Dboys' AKSU's finish. http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...t=0&start=0 Link to post Share on other sites
tosuzu Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Looking forward to ordering from gunner and getting my friend a galil. Link to post Share on other sites
The Suppressor Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well I'll be in line for the Galil also. I've been so gutted ever since Guarder dropped their all steel limited edition kit, and have never bothered with the pre-built complete Galils. Maybe Danmu have some experience under their belt's from their previous kits to get rid of all the china-esque low quality castings and get their act together for a good priced good quality kit.

alex21 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 I'm gonna sacrifice my AKs-47 on Galil's altar, I think Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 my friend has a danmu AK74 kit, its pretty rough round the edges and has been nothing but trouble. i'll be avoiding these. looks like the best bet for an AKMS is G&G at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
Clot Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 AKMS WILL be bought Link to post Share on other sites
P.S.I. Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 The biggest question I have is, are they going to make correct magazine for the Galil or are they just going to make it use AK mags?? I REALLY want a Galil, but if it doesn't have correct mags then they can keep it. Link to post Share on other sites

Delfi Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 my friend has a danmu AK74 kit, its pretty rough round the edges and has been nothing but trouble. i'll be avoiding these. looks like the best bet for an AKMS is G&G at the moment. An absolute PITA. I have the same kit and whilst the quality is OK the work needed to install a gearbox and hop/barrel is beyond me and my toolset. A Dremel will not fix the problems and NONE of the bits (other than the upper receiver) will fit any other '74. All in all, buying that kit was a mistake. I would advise that you avoid this make of kit completely. I want a Galil too! D Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted August 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 ASSEMBLY PROS: 1. pretty straight forward assembly TIME TO ASSEMBLE: About 3 hours without dremel ( i had to handsaw and file parts down), so approximately 1 hour with a dremel, and this includes disassembly of donor aeg, dry build then the real assembly. Conclusion Its definitely worth it. Its not as easy to assemble as a guarder/inokatsu kit, nor does it have the greatest fit and finish, but everything is fixable if you have a dremel and donor parts lying around (which most people will have). Keep in mind, this is the cheapest STEEL kit at the moment, so there are some issues you will have to contend with. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 judging from my friend's kit i'd say they're very hit and miss. bits of my friend's kit barely fit, the dimensions are pretty off in some parts and needed work to fit together. apparently they don't use as many screws as inok either, which may explain the rattly handguards. even the hole for the fire selector needed to be widened. the supplied fire selector wouldnt work at all (i cant remember why, it was a fair while ago) he ended up using a cyma selector. and the finish on the steel itself is VERY rough and cheap looking in places. this might just be me here but i'd prefer to spend a bit more on a G&G AKMS for better fit and finish. as for the galil, i can see it being worth it as your only other real alternatives are TSI (lovely but costly) or finding an inok. if they make a MAR i might be interested.

Delfi Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 In my case I had the same problem with the fire selector hole and boy is that a pain to widenbecause of the thick steel used. Also, the holes that are used to mount the hop unit were too far forward meaning that the seal between the unit and nozzle was compromised. I obviously got sold a lemon but how frequent these are I don't know. Caveat emptor definitely applies with this make. D Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 seems an odd coincidence that you had the exact same problems with yours eh? who knows, they might have sorted their act out now. Link to post Share on other sites

chas Posted August 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I dont think so: Gunner seems to be the only shop (that sales overseas, that is) that carries Danmu kits. Link to post Share on other sites

fryxharry Posted August 17, 2008 Report Share Posted August 17, 2008 I think the best thing is to wait for VFC to release an AKMS and then grab the Dboys all steel clone of it. Will be cheaper and a lot better than the Damnu kits. Link to post Share on other sites

Panzergraf Posted September 10, 2008 Report Share Posted September 10, 2008 Old topic from the gunnerairsoft forum about the Chinese Steel Galil: http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/forum/viewtop...hp?f=3&t=90 CNC'd steel, sounds pretty awesome IMO. AFAIK the other Galils out there are only aluminium. Link to post Share on other sites
