  1. On the Bizon it goes front magazine lugs first and then push up till the feed lips lock into place.  I would hazard a guess that this "magazine" fits differently though.

     

    I assume it has a sort of adapter piece that fits the usual catch in the receiver, and possibly some sort of retainer for the rest of it.  so you would bring the "magazine" up to the receiver, fit the piece into the catch, and then tap it firmly to lock it in.  Whatever retainer it has is not visible, but it doesn't appear to have the lugs like on the Bizon magazines.

  2. Ah yes, that particular image.  What makes it differ from what I envision is that with the Bizon, there is no lower handguard at all and the underside is altered for the magazine to fit smoothly, whilst that image shows (at least within the blurriness) a standalone magazine, if that is what it is.

  3. One could say Bizon-2 model, though being airsoft certain stuff is always off (no front sling hook).  The stock catch is also a bit wonky, but at least I can maneuver the stock on and off it unlike the early runs that seemed to require superman to do so.

     

    Earlier I held the magazine up against one of my 74 models, and I had thoughts about how a full length rifle version would look like.

  4. Yeah, it is a shame how cheap it was made for such an interesting piece and then see how it is being sold.  It is supposed to have a "quick" spring change bit but that involves removing the stock...

     

    The selector is off from the real one which has to be pulled out slightly when used, but that was probably a thing that S&T wouldn't know how to do without handling a real one (which is the impression the build quality of the whole replica gives off).

     

    Remember to tape it up like all the training images show :P

     

    That all said, I still wouldn't mind one on the wall.

  5. Is it wrong that now I want to see how far one could go in terms of lining up these mausers like that, set a world record or something that can be seen from the air.

  6. Early on in this "heated" topic there someone examined one of their replicas and the rear sight block being essentially from a type 56.

    Sure, you could try to put on a real sight block as a replacement, but have fun trying to.  There are some stories later on in that thread about people trying to take them down with bad results, and other stories about the horrible finishes.  Of course, there are others who quickly say "best replica ever!" in a sense.

     

    Honestly I wouldn't be bothered to get one, but then again, I am fine with what I have already and know the limits of what I have, unlike E&L that still after all this time has no solid base in the minds of the majority.  Quite a few folks seem to love them though.

  7. Kazakhstan magic it is.

     

    Russian forces themselves have enough as it is in terms of (in various mindsets) unorthodox weapons to be used in place of a masterkey. 

     

    Of course, the real answer is they just punch out door locks and everything within their range, or use a shovel.

  8. They are supposed to be with the newer models for cyma, but it is still hit or miss I feel.

     

    I have an "10 feet away" East German knockup that is made from trying to mash dboys/cyma/etc parts together.  It is quite unnatural, but it fitted together after removing a few bits and bobs.

  9. Indeed, it is just one of those support weapons that needs more love.  Your RPD is undoubtedly more sturdy than any of the RPKs out there on the market, and I would love to see the reaction of folks to it here locally.
