S So I got some new stuff for Xmas, including some comtac 2s. I got to try them out at a game at the weekend and got some pics.

I added a rail top cover to my A

Just after a game today.

Thanks, I had a quick go at that last night and I think it helped a little. I wasn't sure how much to bend the spring by however so I'm going to have another go this weekend when I'm not tired and have more time.

That's very useful to know, thanks! My AK-105 is in the CM040 series but it's a few years old, I think about four years old now so I'm not sure if that means it's robust enough or not? Thanks for your advice.

A question, I find the rear sight on my AK gets flipped up when I'm pushing through brush quite easily. I suspect it's due to the leaf spring not being strong enough but I'm dubious about putting a real steel leaf spring in a CYMA as I've heard they're very strong and I have a feeling it would just crack the gas block. Any suggestions? It's pretty irritating to try and take a shot and find the rear sight is obscuring the red dot. I was going to order a CYMA railed dust cover but they just sold out at Taiwan Gun.

So I finally got around to adding a DTK-1 to my AK. I also swapped back to my 7.62 magazines on the basis that my MAG AK-74 magazines have a tendency to jizz all the BBs in them at the slightest provocation. Apologies for crappy phone pic.

Considering it's a CYMA springer that looks surprisingly nice. I actually really want one now.

I'm guessing CYMA from the top cover?

I recently bought on of the D-Day AK12 variable capacity magazines. I haven't had a chance to run it yet but it looks and feels very good. The witness windows don't show you anything (they can't because of the design of airsoft AK magazines) but they are clear, which is a nice touch. The magazine inserts into my CYMA AK-105 very easily, there's a little bit of play but that's fairly common with a lot of AK magazines. I think it looks pretty cool in a 100 series to boot.

At a recent game here in Spain. It was chilly and foggy in the morning, gradually brightened up during the day. The game was excellent, with well designed missions, and fantastic squad play on all sides. Last picture is me and my friend Helghast, we were on opposite sides that day.

Which of your rifles are you using for this?

I have indeed! I liked it in a lot of ways but it gave me neck strain so I swapped to a side mount rail, which seems more comfortable. I'm currently playing with options and I might go back to mounting on the ultimak gas tube as I've only used this set up for one game and was having accuracy issues that day (as it turns out, possibly due to a slightly dislocated barrel clip). Mounting the T1 on the ultimak was great for aiming, perfect point of impact position, but neck strain. Edit: this set up is also noticeably heavier, so, swings and roundabouts.

The fact that this can be meaningfully suppressed make me want one even more. Great review, very informative!

Apologies for the crappy smartphone pic. Current set up for my AK-105.

I used one last summer in a game in the UK. Really good suit, a bit heavier than the SSO partizan suit but still an outstanding scout suit. The fit is nice and loose, I prefer the cuff design to that on the partizan, though the partizan has a better hood and trousers that don't require suspenders. I'm considering buying a 6Sh112 if my spectre pattern partizan dies (it's a few years old and showing some wear after a lot of hard use) as the 6Sh112 seems tougher, and I think the two camouflage patterns will work well here in the south of Spain, though with the seasons reversed (everything is brow

Interesting that they've opted for the 5.45mm AK-12 and not the 7.62x39mm AK-15. I guess it's a small country so introducing a totally new cartridge isn't as big a deal as it could be. Yeah, most of the pics of Russian troops in Syria show AK-74M with the odd AK-103 IIRC.

Oh damn! Well, I stand corrected.

I mean, development wise it's certainly Soviet era, even if it was mainly adopted post USSR.

"I remember it well, it was July 9, 2006 when you joined (No I didn't look it up on your profile, what you talkin bout?)" That (I think) makes sense as that would be my final year at university. That said, I do remember the server going down at some point and losing a ton of users and having to re-join, though I don't know if that was before or after that or if it genuinely lost my profile permanently.

I've been on here for ages, can't actually remember the exact year I joined but I'm pretty sure I was on here when I was at university and that was pre-2006. Still come here for advice on technical stuff and to see of Renegade Cow has built anything new. I don't really post on FB airsoft groups, partly because I don't really want it linked to my facebook profile too heavily for a variety of reasons, and partly because the level of discourse on a lot of facebook groups is beyond idiotic.

I thought they were technically adopted but no significant deliveries had been made, as in, they're still being manufactured and exact numbers that will be bought aren't certain yet. In any case, I imagine the R&D time for a completely new replica would be significant and I can see LCT wanting the design to be a sure thing. I mean, you may well be right that no more changes are made, but given the somewhat troubled development history I can see why believing it when they see it would be a sensible plan.

I think one of the issues is that the gas block and gas tube on an AK-12 are a very different design to previous AK generations, so it couldn't be a drop in fit. I suspect the AK-200 furniture is as modern as you can get on an AK-74/AK-100 series as a lot of stuff has been kept the same (so far as actually Russian designed stuff goes, there's obviously loads of US designed parts). I'm sure LCT will bring out a complete AK-12 and AK-15 series replica in time, it's probable they're biding their time though given that it hasn't been properly adopted into Russian military service so the chance of

Couple of posed shots after a game today.

Yeah, CYMA 140 round mid. They're excellent magazines, though like any mid they need a little bit of breaking in to start with, (just half load them and give them a bit of a wack if they don't feed.) After that they feed very well. Darklite, what brand is that AK and do you know of the fore grips are sold separately? Cheers.
