Another project finished, with the exception of a few pins and minor decorations.
Barrel components are all from a real steel type 3 milled Bulgarian AK, outer barrel is a 1018 DOM tube that I had a coworker turn for me. Dboys receiver was stripped and cold blued.
Hopefully I'll have time to cut up a few real AK mags this week to convert them to midcaps.

I finally finished my ACE stock adapter rear trunnion for AEGs after two years.

very nice. what made you think of using sig magazines? do the coupler studs still work?
I spent a few hours comparing pictures of random rock and lock magazines to the as val mags and and figured the sig mags were cheap enough to gamble on. The coupler studs don't work, the magwell is too thick... or tall.. I didn't have a chance to cut them off.

One of my favorite hobbies is to take magazines for one gun and cut them up so they fit and feed in something completely different.
MAG brand Sig midcap, fits great and feeds 100% with a little time on the mini mill and no modification to the gun (this time)
Mags are the same price as VAL mags but double the capacity, once I put a vise on my mill it'll be a 5 minute mod compared to a half hour of 1-2-3 blocks and filing for the proof of concept.
Also, since this is an AK thread and not a VAL thread, here's my kyber/taliban special 74u.
Paki tape with a 250 Dinar note on the upper handguard, held in place by brass tacks
Battery pouch is a Yugo sling and leather oiler pouch, barely holds a 1400mah 40-80c 11.1v after I cut some stitching on the pouch. I'm going to get something a hair smaller so I can hide the connectors in the pouch and cover the gun side cables with 550 cord, but I wanted to try it in a game first and see how I liked it.

What did you do for the motor cage?
I'm still thinking about a fusion engine for mine, but I'm going to wait and see what the wolverine SMP looks like when it gets released.
-
This one should at 25-50c and it's really tiny, leaving plenty of room in the can for whatever else might find its way in there.
It just seems odd to bodge up such a specific replica like a parts bin G36, but I guess it's no worse looking than a p-star nailgun hose. Maybe wrap with Russki tourniquet and/or stick the battery in a field dressing wrapper?
I just ordered one to try out, thanks. I've used turnigy cells around that size and I think their ratings are pretty optimistic, but I'll see how it does for a day on one of my more stressful setups. I normally use lipos double that size with continuous discharge ratings higher than that burst value so I'm interested to see how it will do.. Good idea on the tourniquet and field dressing wrap as well, I'll track some down since I've been meaning to replace the battery bag on my 74u with one.

looks like I'm in for the ride, ordered the VAL. WIP trading my V2 FE for a V3.
Couldn't get any spare mag :/
I think fox airsoft is the only one that has them right now. $15 for a 50 round mid is a little too expensive for me, though. I'm sort of holding out for larger mags from LCT.. The mids out now are single stack, but theres plenty of room in the shell for double so I'm not sure why they didn't do that.
Why DFM, why T_T
Because my life is incredibly empty and the tears of strangers on the internet are the only things that bring me joy?
But seriously, the lipos that actually fit are grossly inadequate for what I want to do with the gearbox. Plus, I want to run a 74u length inner and do.. things.. with the suppressor, so this was the only way. It's pretty clean and I can easily patch the only visible hole in the stock if I need to.
-
Please, no more airsoft colostomy bags. It's designed to fit separated flat cell type lipo batteries: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__901__900__Airsoft_Accessories-Lipoly_Batteries.html
A 1200mah 20c 11.1v won't pull an SP130 on 13:1s. I'm having a custom battery bag made for the stock, it won't look too bad.
-
Can anyone with a LCT AS VAL post pics of the gearbox so I can figure out how these darn selectors work? And do PSO-1/-1s fit? I've heard they don't due to the receiver cover height.
-
it would probably be limited to semi only. I'm sure someone halfway decent with a soldering iron could rig a few switches on the shell so that the selector trips them and wire them into the fcu harness.
I'm considering a fusion engine as well. semi only honestly wouldn't bother me with 50 round mids.. a new 'motor cage' would need to be made for it to work as well.
-
Can you tell us how the selector switches work?
What would be the selector on an AK is just a safety. Up is on, down is fire. Fire mode is controlled by the lever behind the trigger, left is auto and right is semi. Interally is looks like the selector hits a lever on the gearbox shell which trips the cutoff lever. There is no traditional selector plate from what I can see without disassembly. I can try to get a picture of the exploded diagram later today.

LCT AS VAL.
I'll make a review thread when I have time this weekend. Battery space in the suppressor is almost nonexistent, but it looks easy enough to get some wires out the back and into a battery bag. My only other complaint is that you can't adjust the hopup without removing the dust cover, but other than that it's great!

who makes that srs and how do you like it?
-
FAB Defense GL-MAG I think.
..
I spend way too much time looking at guns on the internet..
-
wwjkc, is that a prime or viper SR15 receiver?
-
Yep, always double up for indoor shooting. Also, you're probably going to erode the front of the brake off relatively quickly, but it's interesting that the design still works fairly well when it's made of 303 for less than $20.
-
Pianoblack, you're my hero. Beautiful RPK right there.
How did you get the US Palm grip to work with the daytonagun kit?
-
It's a vortex strikefire. The 'button' is the windage adjustment.
-
The BCM grip is very comfy surprisingly. Noveske got it for me and he tried it on his M4 first and he agrees that the grip is comfortable to hold. That said however we both agreed that the grip just looks weird on an AR15 because of the angle of the grip being so sharp compared to the gun itself..which is like a stick. On the SCAR however I find it much more aesthetically pleasing as the SCAR's a huge block of a gun and the grip angle doesn't make it look too out of place. If you've seen the SCAR-H picture that Travis Haley used for his promo mount pictures, it looks even better on the SCAR-H than the -L IMO
Yeah, the only thing that makes it look off to me is the mag actually. I bet it would look a lot better with something with a less pronounced curve, like a pmag, or on a SCAR-H. If only it was possible to get a grip angle like that on an AEG..
-
*snip*
I'm a big fan of that BCM pistol grip on the SCAR. Nice build!
-
Murdoc, I've seen people modify the MOE handguard for the remington 870 onto Saiga 12s, should be pretty easy to adapt that to any other AK. You can find videos of the process on youtube.
-
Any chance you could do a comparison against any other collapsible stocks you've got there to find out? That I would like to see.
Yeah, im at work for another 8 hours or so but I'll write something up when I get home.
-
I love the look of the MOE solid stock, I just know the LOP would be far too long for me and my small arms. Annoying.
Didn't expect to see one on an AEG though, nice.
If it makes you feel any better, I have to go out of my way to find longer stocks for some of my rifles. It's not that long though, pretty sure it's the same lop as an acs in the first position.
-
Sorry for the terrible cell picture, but I just had to post it. Neva' ben done befo, etc.
No one wants mine!
Unfortunately there's a difference between wanting and being able to afford it.

Blued dboys receiver, steel outer barrel with real steel Bulgarian type 3 components. Magazine is a cyma midcap stuffed into a real steel shell. The oiler pouch on the sling holds batteries.
