Got it from Rusmilitary years ago and it was pristine on my Inokatsu AKSU until I swapped it over and weathered it. Forgot to say the gun also has an Inokatsu muzzle booster and a real AKSU stock on it with rolled struts

GHK AKSU with RA Tech steel bolt carrier, NPAS, aluminium hop unit, real AKSU handguard, real AK bakelite pistol grip, mags painted plum with Tula arsenal mark added, and weathered Real AKSU sling and real Kobra. Not much else left to do with it but shoot it!

If the steel selector plate is out of position, you can put it back into position by holding the paddle in place with a large flat-headed screwdriver, then rotating the selector arm in the appropriate direction to adjust the threaded part of the arm. I have finally upgraded my AKSU with the RA Tech steel bolt carrier, aluminium hop unit and aluminium NPAS bolt. I am hoping it should be fairly indestructable now but I will try and skirmish next weekend and will let you know how I get on All the RA Tech parts are top quality but the bolt carrier is kind of expensive (I think it was ab

Elite Shooting Centre have them as well.

Have had this for a little while but not bothered posting it - just got some nice alloys though 2003 S3, remap to about 260bhp

It was supposedly a reward for Border Guard of the year or something like that. I want it.

Could this be fitted to the GHK AKSU do you think? Might cure the bolt carrier issues. I'm sure you could knock your own up out of some suitable plastic. http://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproductpage....leItemID=630752

Painted the bolt carrier black, did the lettering in white just for a bit of contrast and added a plum bakelite pistol grip. Next step is to see if I can get the mag internals into a demilled mag shell

Very nice - does the kit work OK in there? And how hard was it to fit?

I have added a buffer onto the recoil rod in a typical Blue Peter fashion - the top funnel end of a Marui AEG loading rod suitably bored out to accept the recoil rod, a cut off recoil spring from a GBB (about 4mm long after trimming, and 2 O-rings over the end of the recoil rod before it goes through the spring and funnel. The funnel had to have one side flattened slightly with a file to fit inside the gas block but the buffer now stops the bolt carrier slamming against the trunnion. Time will tell I suppose....it still shoots fine but has a 1mm gap between the front of the bolt carrier a

Interesting - no problems with mine yet. I will be getting the aluminium bolt but it looks like a steel / aluminium bolt carrier might be required. Any chance of that RA-tech? And is there any preventative work that should be done to reduce the chance of a breakage? Perhaps put some rubber sheath around the brass screws to lessen the impact or something?

GHK AKS74UN with real AKSU wood installed (the GHK/DBoys/whatever was vomit-worthy), real AKSU stock with rolled struts and Inokatsu stock latch, AKSU sling, Inokatsu muzzle booster. I need to get a real plum bakelite pistol grip and then I'll be done. It shoots pretty well from what I can see so far, I'll be using it on Sunday for a practical match so I hope it performs OK...recoil is cool

Nice little shooter. I love Tanaka revolvers

A real bakelite pistol grip doesn't feel any different from a good airsoft one apart from the width. There are various types available, the normal fibrous ones available on cheapsoft guns and better looking smooth ones that Inokatsu used to use on the wood AK74 and AKS74U kits. These are plum and incorporate the bakelite pattern with flakes in it. The bakelite mags have a different texture and are worth converting, these not so much (I did convert some real ones years ago including cutting out the chequered plates and inserting them into airsoft pistol grips). Sure you can fit this to a TM AK7

Got to be honest - why bother when it won't even fit against the body? Having the bakelite finish is all well and good but my Inokatsu pistol grip is really not far off the real finish. Your work is commendable and might have been handy 5 years ago but there are so many airsoft AKs and accessories now I don't see the point...

An experiment Not quite as bright in real life. Slide is original plastic one, needs tidying up slightly although I intend to replace with a metal one quite soon. Mag base plates have been painted too, need a chrome magwell I think and a compensator

Bam!

Shroomalistic, that is brilliant work on the RPK. I love the 40rd mag too

Romulus, very nice gun! I prefer it now with the compensator.

Ting modified an Inokatsu AKM receiver and gave it to them to copy.

Yep I managed to get the inner barrel in after some filing to allow it to rock inside the outer barrel (thanks to the kind advice on this thread) Parts list would be: Marui frame (slightly modified ) Boomarms G34 two-tone slide and outer barrel, fitted with TM glow in the dark sights Shooters Design 150% recoil spring Shooters Design 150% hammer spring PDI 6.01mm Hi-capa 5.1 inner barrel Shooters Design magwell I will keep the tan Guarder frame for now and perhaps give it a shiny coat of paint when I see a colour I think would look good

Thanks. I'll check out the +2 bases, I remember seeing them but not paying much attention. SD magwell is plastic but fits reasonably well. I wouldn't say it makes a massive difference with reload times, maybe improves it slightly.

Shooters Design magwell installed. Think I'm done with this unless I add an optic. I quite like how the black of the magwell frames the blue er....frame between it and the slide.

Thanks I am really pleased with how the colour turned out, time will tell whether the finish will last. Mind you I've used similar paint on AK grips and they have lasted a couple of years without wearing through. I will have to get a nicer holster at some point which is less likely to rub. I think the black magwell will even the finish out. Do one with a red frame...

Just playing with the old TM frame....better than the tan one? Shooters Design magwell to follow I think...
