Now our PKM cost only 670 Euro. But in this promotion is only 6 pcs. Please check our new photos from production. Interesting. 6 pieces only? Looks like a good collector item.

-FIDO- Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 not really..looks just *suitcasey* imo Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 6 peices? GTFO. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think he means that the promotion price of 670 euros is limited to 6 pieces. Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Top cover ist ze ugly, doesn't look right at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Abelius Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 That definately isn't the thing I have shot. Aren't there guys who have converted deactivated real steel PKM's to accept a V3 gearbox? IIRC, one of them even showed his PKM off on these forums. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Not even close to the same people. These HAG PKMs look like *albatross*. Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I second that post about the *suitcasey* looks. My RS conversion is in the works w/ M249 gearbox: http://www.shooter.hu/pkm/ Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 That's hot. No space for LRB so no BV then :\ Would had to mill the whole barrel I guess? Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Trasher: If you ever felt like selling that beauty of yours, please do tell me! Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 There is plenty of space, but the BV conversion (cannibalizing an Asahi M60 STD, for example) requires extensive milling on the hardest parts of the gun, and the tooling for that can get expensive quickly.

-FIDO- Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 i feel like i have to post this again i used also a m249 gb in mine... this is the only way a PKM should look like!! Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Nice piece! FIDO, I think I'm gonna drop you a PM with some questions. Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 FIDO: That picture has SA-INT written all over it Cool stuff. I don't think anything was more fun (par blasting away some M72's) than rip through a full belt of blanks from hip during my time in FDF Trasher: That's why I chose A&K M249 for my Asahi Bushmaster guts. If something gets in my way its rather easy to mill away with simple tools. Gun grade steel isn't that fun. Link to post Share on other sites
-FIDO- Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 Nice piece! FIDO, I think I'm gonna drop you a PM with some questions. sure, no problem thanks korppi i look a bit tired on that pic... it was the first game with the PKM...game started and i lugged it around for 2 f**** hours..it was HOT and the game was in some hills..steeeeep hills in the end i lost all my teammates... and then i saw a patrol coming through the wood... i get into position, pull the trigger and wrzzzz...seems like somebody forgot to charge the battery of course they got me until i pulled ut my 2nd batt Link to post Share on other sites
Royal-Air-Force Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 I think he means that the promotion price of 670 euros is limited to 6 pieces. Oooh yah. My Engrish reading skills am fail. Link to post Share on other sites
Korppi Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 FIDO: Yeah, I feel you Just humping around with a PKM isn't so fun fun in the end. At least with with fully loaded RS it ain't. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I actually don't mind the look and that its missing a few details, not to mention some major parts but I guess these are pre-production photos. But its definitely not worth that much money. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm putting together a PKM from real and custom-made parts. With 70% of the parts I need, it's cost me around $500 including the gearbox. I can understand the labor being costly as well... 670 Euros is ok. The previous price was not. That said, unless it's made mostly out of real parts it's not worth the expense, especially not when they've messed up such crucial dimensions as the op rod cover and the barrel profile, as well as the barrel trunnion attachment point.

Trasher Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, I got my donor for less than 700 euros... In the end it will cost me around 1000-1100 eur, I think. I would say the HAG PKM is a nice effort if you are building your own homemade PKM from scratch, but not as a limited run, unauthentic AEG for 670eur. Unfortunately, we won't see a realistic PKM replica until one of the more serious manufacturers (Inokatsu? VFC? Realsword?) make one. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 the HAG PMK was announced ages ago, and we've already had pics (not these pic, even crappier pics). anyhoo, looks awful, not as bad as that JTG VSS that was made though Link to post Share on other sites
Trasher Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 There is a good chance that JTG = HAG. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 iirc John The Gunsmith is based in germany, while heavy airsoft gear is based on poland. dont quote me on that though. doesnt matter eitherway, both made a bloody lash up. Link to post Share on other sites
Beast06 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 John the Gunsmith? - Who's that? You mean Jack the Gunsmith Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 28, 2008 Report Share Posted November 28, 2008 same same. he fails at the VSS and doesnt appear to be the same as HAG, thats all that matters Link to post Share on other sites
