Current work knife BV&T KA-BAR

seen a RS one the other day painted tan and had a tan AFG. might we worth considering that instead of grippod

Last week sporting the very nice Kryptek Mandrake

Mixed results today but nothing too major. Took the A&K to CSW and used it for 1/2 a day. I've posted a video below which will hopefully show the issues I had. The A&K had an issue where it would fire 1 bb, dry fire the next then fire 1 bb and this happened for the first 5 shots. After that it would fire fine until I stopped rapid firing whereas it would do the fire/dry fire 5 times before firing fine. I used it during the morning and even though it was only chrono'd at 295 it still held up to a decent bit of skirmishing. nearer lunch it started to chop bb's and double feed.

Ok today I stripped down the hop unit, the cylinder, tried a few different manufacturers magazines, tested which part was steel and tried a few Systema bits in the A&K to see what was compatible. The hop: The hop is 100% Systema compatible and looks to be of high quality. The hop adjuster looks to me machined instead of cast and seems a really high quality unit. When I take the A&K for a spin on Sunday I'll see if it suffers the same issue as the Systema unit with the odd flier caused by the hop rubber spinning on the pin. This is an easy fix and involves a small drop of superglue

The hop unit looks to be well made but further tests are planned. A nice touch is the direction arrow showing which way to turn it to apply hop effect. The pistol grip does what it says on the tin. It's well made, rock solid and has what looks like an allen grub screw to adjust the motor height. When you break open the upper receiver you get a look at the stock pipe end cap and the gearbox. Unlike the DTW the A&K looks to directly copy the Systema PTW bolt release. The cylinder looks to be well made. There is very little movement on the nozzle and shortly I'll be st

Here's a few more pictures with a brief description: The outer barrel - well made with the flash hider being held in place with an allen grub screw. The front sight post also has an allen grub screw and roll pins holding it in place. I prefer roll pins as they provide tension unlike solid pins which are just friction fit. The flash hider is -14mm so a variety of AEG flash hiders should pop straight on. The hand guards are not the nylon material found on a systema but as I've pointed out in other reviews these are usually the first thing to get swapped on an AEG/PTW. They aren't badly

I'll be reviewing the A&K PTW similar to my DTW review. To start off with I'll stick up a couple of photos with a brief description and then start to review it in detail over the next few days. First up is a picture of what you see when you open the plain brown box. Inside the box is the PTW, magazine, unjamming rod, hop adjuster and front sight post adjuster. There is also a manual similar to something you would find in a TM box. Below is a couple of pictures showing the left and right side of the PTW Initial findings are: It feels like a systema The front handgua

most hand guards involve a little cutting or sanding to make them fit. The biggest part is making the upper hand guard fit a AEG as the RS thing is a lot thicker in the inside where the fake gas pipe goes. I use a dremel to remove the excess wood and it's a bit of trial and error to get it just right. Fitting a RS stock is another story! This is a PITA because of the metal pin that goes through most RS stocks.

try here: Link other sites include rusmilitary.com but they are expensive. If you shop around you can find pretty much every type of hand guard/stock

LCT Type 3 AK47S with LCT laminated pistol grip, RS Russian hand guards and RS slab sided magazine

VFC 416D with newer style stock and pistol grip. VFC 417 VFC 417 Sniper v#

I'm not quite sure what info you require but here's a few facts: It doesn't suffer from cooldown as it's hand cocking it holds 10 bb's in the top slide which can be seen in the photo below FPS is 230 to cockit you need to pull down the hammer, then pull the lever which brings the working parts to the rear and then push it forward. This loads a BB and prep's the chamber to fire.repeat 10 times and then refill the internal magazine. Markings and Magazine: uncocked: Cocked:

Since we are doing weird old pistols with weird calibers.....

G&G AKMS with RS wooden foregrip and LCT laminated pistol grip. A&K PKM with RS stock, Pistol grip, carry handle panels and flash hider

VFC AIMs with bakelite effect pistol grip

I use fire retardant foam which you can buy from ebay for a few pounds. Finishing the edges involves using a dremel to cut the shape, a sharp knife to clean up the burs and finally sandpaper to smooth the edges. At least that's how I do it.

some nice gear on here. I made a couple of custom holsters for some custom guns as I need a refresher before making a 1911 RS holster for a friend.

QP DSA SA58 stock adapter made by WII Tech

The nozzle was sticking on the silicon used on the seal between the cylinder and cylinder head. I removed the silicon, checked everything over (compression etc) and rebuilt it and it fired ok after that.

Picked this up for £200 as it needed a bit of work. I stripped the finish off the wood and refinished it with linseed oil. Internally it had a bad airseal but all sorted now. ICS M1 Garand

I'll just leave these here....
