That's what you get for letting Women into the Armed Forces

I've opened up a lot of JG AK Betas (A friend has them as rental guns, he supplies a few sites, and I downgraded a dozen of them to 1J for him) and internally they are good, the only thing needed was a Marui hop rubber, the original is very hard/inflexible. They shoot very nicely and the quality and finish is easily as good as Marui's in my opinion, if not a little better. Not heard any horror-stories so far...

Do you mean the little finger-tab part that screws onto the sliding arm? If so, you can do without it, just use a small screwdriver to push/pull on the arm itself. If you really want one then get a length of right-angle alloy and cut/file/drill to suit.

He was just making it really safe for you I'll probably end up modifying it sooner or later, like cutting it off at the hinge and making a new tubular section

It came like that, I straight-swapped it for a GBB Scorpion. It's a really solid stock, no wobbles/rattles folded or extended. My only gripe with it is it really gets in the way when I use the sights, I have to press my cheek really hard into it to line them up. I can ask the guy I got it from, PM me to remind me if you like.

It's his pride and joy, I have my suspicions that he takes it to bed with him Thanks guys, I'll let him know you approve

You mean the Dragunov front grip/heat-cover? My Friend sourced all the parts, I just helped him build it (the 'technical' bits). I can find out if you like, it was somewhere in the UK anyway. PM me and I'll ask him asap.

The two recent additions to my collection, and my first AK's (about b##ody time too ) Can't remember if I've posted these before or not, it's my mate's AEG Dragunov I built for him (built from scratch from aftermarket parts, AK body based);

I hope you're joking about filing the axles They are precision-ground, polished and hardened items. File the surface of the axle(s), removing the hardened and polished bearing surface and you'll scrap the bushings before you've fired 200-300 rounds, if you're lucky. Same goes for the bushes, though I'm not sure what you've filed on them, outer diameter to get them into their holes, or the flange to give the gears more clearance?

How right you are Sledge...because the prices we pay in the UK are overpriced

Surely, just about anyone who's selling Airsoft gear knows how much you can get it for, posted from HK, and prices stuff accordingly? Not sure it needs a rule as such, you either politely decline their lower offer, accept it, or haggle some more I agree with the annoyance of the brigade, even when it's not you selling the item, it's annoying but, they're easily ignored

Nice work Fish', looks great.

This was the point back in April, in Hong Kong, that I realised the stock wasn't going to fit in my suitcase I had to wrap it in bubble wrap, with a kiddies swimming armband on the end to make it look less gun-like for the flight home. I stripped the rest right down to get it in the case. With just a tightbore added, it's right on the 1j limit, I love it just as it is

I honestly thought that was a real wood stock

Not mine, I built the long one for a friend, 650mm PSG tightbore (into silencer), Guarder wood kit, Systema FTK in reinforced g/box, systema hi-torque motor + gears. Bottom one is standard 'S' with paintjob on plastic grips and stock removed. Edit; By the way, nice work Renegade. I particularly like the stock. The standard stock is the one thing I dislike about the AK variants, always looks way out of proportion to me

Did another tiny mod to mine. Filed another slot on the stock arms so it locks halfway out like the real one. Indoors, it's nice to be able to use the stock without having it fully out.

Yes, it does make a difference (not that the MP7 is that loud to begin with of course) It's really quiet with it on, takes away the 'thwack' part of the sound, just leaving a faint 'ptwuh' sound (is there a dictionary of sounds and their spellings anywhere? ) From more than approx 6m away I doubt you'd hear it during a game...not until it was too late anyway

A better shot, with my home-made silencer attached...sounds like a flea sneezing They certainly are. Mine now has a 6.03 TB (gives 265fps) and an external battery pack (7.2V 2100mah gives 50% increase in ROF to around 15/sec (10/sec standard)) It makes a great CQB tool, and I reckon it'd be OK in woodland if you're the stealthy type.

I agree. It's getting to be a very popular little gun now... Here's mine, complete with homemade strap system for hanging off my vest.

Originally posted this back in may but might be useful to anyone who's not seen it... MP7 Ext batt mod Also this... MP7 QR sling thing...

Nice detailed Write up Steve. They do look tempting price-wise, a nice cheap intro to Airsoft for a lot of people hopefully. One comment. 10-12000 rounds in one day??? The term 'Trigger happy' just isn't adequate...

My mates 47S. Full Systema tune up kit (M1##) Guarder wood kit, scope mount, 6.03 650mm barrel, reinforced g/box.

My latest aquisitions are TM M14, MP7, WE Hi-Capa and secondhand TM MP5K...

Very nice write-up FarEast. I've been wondering what my next AEG would be...I think I know now

Sorry to drag this topic back but I didn't want to start another... I recently got one of these loaders and I'm afraid I think it's a pile of c##p. The release button for the plunger has to be pulled out (unlike the Marui push-push design), with bare hands it's difficult enough, with gloves on I'd say it's near impossible. For half of it's diameter it sits almost flush with the outer shell, so you can't actually grip it properly, you have to hook a nail in the shallow groove, unless you have gloves on, in which case you can't The filling hole is too small, you need another speedloa
