About the Noveske N4 replica... \"Not available in USA\" -Vic

Yeah, bought the EbayBanned version. I'll post my thoughts and experneice here once it arrives. -Vic

Alright, made a temporary shim using a guide I found on Red Alliance. PBS-4, Noveske flash hider, and stock pad are on the way. -Vic

http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?products_id=1064 Yeah, just found this. $10 shipped, not bad at all. It should work with VFC, yeah? And thanks for the scope mount link. Probably order one of those shortly. -Vic

Alright, after much trial and error, I still have not been able to mount it. It appears as though the previous owner has worn down the mount on the AK to the point where it will no longet hold. And, it appears that the swing arm on the PK-AV is also worn down, so I'll need a replacement. -Vic

Alrighty, got my PK-AV in today...and, either I can't figure out how to mount it (I'd imagine it'd be fairly simple...), or, the VFC mounting rail is not MilSpec. If someone can tell me just by that pic, that'd be great. (BTW, didn't do the wear job myself. I think it's a bit overdone, but I'm not complaining. It's an AK, afterall. ) PBS-4 is on the way. -Vic

Good to hear. Thanks Bersy! -Vic

Yeah, had a bit of a convo with Jag over MSN. It's all better now. Now, to wait and see if the PK-AV mounts... -Vic P.S. Where's my M4...I need to cuddle with something less frightening.

Ugh, EPIC fail on my part. EPIC. So I learn today that the VFC does not have standard 14mm threads...Noveske on order is now out the window. I also learn that the scope mount is not of real dimensions...PK-AV that I'm expecting (should be here tomorrow) is also out the damn window. Also ordered a PBS-4...it's a clone, and not the VFC...so this may very well be out the window as well. Remember, guys, to DO YOUR RESEARCH before purchasing anything. The first AK I've owned has become somewhat of a bummer... -Vic Edit: Jag has informed me that there might be an

Yeah, that's what I'll, most likely, go for. I can nab it at a pretty sweet price at ASGI right now. (Thanks for your help via PMs, Plastic.) Here's a ###### poor picture of AK-74. I added a filter, which helps a bit. Then again, all it is, is another '74, anyway. Just received it about 2 hours ago. Oooh, the 'dark side' feels oh, so good. Newb question for you guys. How do you remove the flash hider*? *I have a feeling it's not called a "flash hider"...so please, correct me. -Vic

Very nice. I love the two tone rail covers. (Magpul for the win.) -Vic

Magpul has no plans to produce 6.8mm P-Mags at this time. However, I read on the Barrett forums, that it it possible to modify 30 round 5.56mm P-Mags to hold ~25 6.8mm rounds. -Vic

Agreed. Thing is, I can't find the standard AK-74 metal body anywhere. (The full, non folding stock metal body.) Anyone have a lead on one? I'm needing one, too. -Vic

True. I'll just tie it on elsewhere. Don't like the idea of attaching it to the barrel, anyway, as VFC designed the kit as a 2 piece barrel. (I mainly threw the gun together for pics, didn't really think of the melting aspect.) -Vic

Anyway... Remember what I said about the M468? How I called it off? Changed my mind AGAIN...and this time, I'm determined. >:-D Almost done externally. Need to swap out the rear BUIS, the clone EOTech, pistol grip, and a few other little bits, and add a MAID, additional furniture, real optic, real BUIS, and I plan on mounting a M203, along with other bits. Didn't go for the classic M468 look. Went with the updated ARMS #50, and added a gas piston to the rifle. Once I obtain the MIAD, I'll get going on the internals. (Because, obviously, there's no gearbox in

Is something wrong with your spacebar? Just curious. -Vic Edit: Heh, I figured.
