MotoSam Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Pics are up on www.airsoft-news.eu now. Odds are its full steel, and going by their aks74 full steel which I have the internals will be very good, bearing bushes, spring guide etc. from stock, and incredibly solid build.

Isamu Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 any news about blowback feature? Link to post Share on other sites
MotoSam Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Oh for the love of... You mean LiMPS? I cant bring myself to call it blow back, that gives the impression its not totally sh*t. 'little metal plate shuffle', as in, the system I disengaged in my vfc akms as soon as I got it home, the most ridiculous of all pathetic and rubbish marketing gimmicks? I hope it doesn't, because it lets dust into the gearbox even when disengaged, and when engaged, is complete rubbish, and is simply pushed back by the piston, not sitting forward fully half the time. Oh, and to cater for it, the dummy bolt carrier is very looses fitting, rattling like a pos low end aeg, my kalash is better in this area. I hope it doesn't have a limps system.

my_plague_666 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 agreed. in this case blowback is best left out (unless it has a proper recoil mech) looks good, they even cloned the fugly VFC pistol grip i reckon i'll be picking up one of these to go with my AKS74 in my soviet VDV loadout.

Fiach Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was holding of to get a VFC AKMS myself but I think I'll be going for the Kalash now. Looks great. Link to post Share on other sites
MotoSam Posted April 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I was holding of to get a VFC AKMS myself but I think I'll be going for the Kalash now. Looks great. Initial comparisons of the VFC versus steel kalash, external finish on VFC is nicer, but the kalash fore grips are more solid, not movement posible, I think the kalash(74) is, bar the finish, better built than the VFC akms I got.

chas Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 looks good, they even cloned the fugly VFC pistol grip I was actually gonna praise Kalash for it. I dont know if its realistic or not, but I like it a lot more than a black or fugly Element red-brown grip. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 its nice they made the effort, but if/when i get one i'll be swapping the pistol grip out for an LTC bakelite effect grip. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 goood, AKM must be close now Link to post Share on other sites
Jin15 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 NICE! I've been waiting for a beautiful and reasonably priced AKMS for quite a while now and this looks like it will fit the bill perfectly. Love that sexy bakelite effect pistol grip and (what appears to be) laminated plywood handguard too. I think there's a D-Boys AKMS and a ACM PBS-1 suppressor in my future Couldn't give a hoot about the jiggly bolt though. If it has one, nifty, I just hope they won't charge any extra for the feature. If it doesn't have it, fine as well, the gun shall be more reliable. Link to post Share on other sites

clone_ranger Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Initial comparisons of the VFC versus steel kalash, external finish on VFC is nicer, but the kalash fore grips are more solid, not movement posible, I think the kalash(74) is, bar the finish, better built than the VFC akms I got. This is very reminiscent of when the Kalash AK74U came out... First week I got mine I bumped in to a chap on-site that had the VFC version. We swapped and had a look at each other's AEG. In the end I think he was a bit disgruntled because my Kalash wasn't too far off his VFC - with the exception of the finish. Like you mentioned, VFC has the edge on a much more pleasing finish... But there again, the Kalash finish is also much better than the flat black finish that CYMA use. I can't wait for the Kalash AKMS to come out in the UK - I wonder who will be first to have it in stock? Link to post Share on other sites
clone_ranger Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 its nice they made the effort, but if/when i get one i'll be swapping the pistol grip out for an LTC bakelite effect grip. Yep, I don't know what's going on there! LOL Luckily I have a spare bakalite AKM grip in my spares box. For everyone else I'm sure Element do a reasonable replica one. ....Be nice if Kalash turned it's attention to a RPK next! Link to post Share on other sites
christavel! Posted May 27, 2009 Report Share Posted May 27, 2009 i swear there is only one UK retailer of kalash products?, Airsoft world won't sell them anymore and landwarrior is the only place i can find them, except from wolf but wolfs ,wolf Link to post Share on other sites
