doopydoo Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 So am I right in assuming that CYMA is better internally, while BOYI is better externally (in terms of reliability, durability)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrusBilis Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 My guess is that it's the Spring Guide. That's the only sub-par part that's in the whole gun. It's not terrible, but it's definitely not good. For a gun that shoots 360-400 stock, everyone should look into replacing it with a reinforced one as soon as possible. Thanks, I will open it soon and will comment about the problem Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 not totally right, doopy. the Kalash RK01 wins in external looks but it suffers in durability where it uses pot metal. component fitting is also not too good. but hey, it's supposed to be Russian, so . . . .

biguk Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Just a quick question..I've just received my AKS74U this morning and the front end seems a little loose. wobble from the front sights to the flashhider.. the previous owner has tried putting millputt on it to tighten it up...so once ive chipped that off..im gonna try and tighten it. Any ideas? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Check the underside of the front sight, there should be a set screw that tightens it to the outter barrel. If not, shim the inside of the front sight till it fits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
biguk Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 Oki cool...i'll give it a look. I did notice the screw actually, but only had limited time to fiddle with it as i was going out the door for work when it arrived. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dozey123 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I'm planning to get one of these from airsoftgi very soon. What upgrades/back up parts should I purchase with it? I was thinking a systema version 3 metal spring guide for sure and maybe hop up bucking. Do you think hop up bucking is neccessary or not? The only ones airsoftgi has in stock are the systema enhance hop up bucking and the guarder enhance hop up bucking. Which of those, if either, would be a good choice? And if I'm way off on something sorry I'm an airsoft noob! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 replacing the bucking will certainly help, and the guarder would be a better choice, IMHO. the metal spring guide is not really necessary if you are keeping your gun stock. a bearing spring guide would be a better option if you want to really go for a metal spring guide.

Shroomalistic Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 anyone have pics of the cyma ak74su fully dissasembled? I need some good close up pics of the front end fully taken apart. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 exactly what detail of which part, shroom? muzzle end? front sight? handguards? upper handguard locking mechanism? some detail pics here. not all the pieces of the disassembled front end in one pic though.

Shroomalistic Posted May 27, 2008 Report Share Posted May 27, 2008 mainly a close up on the lower foregrip and the fron trunion removed. i want to see what it would take to put yugo handguards on it. i also would like to see the barrel sizeand if it matches the standard tm barrel diameter.

AZN KID Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Great review and this i think is a great gun for your money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosuzu Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Made my friend want to get one instead of JG's AK74. He really want a rail system without paying extra though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted August 15, 2008 Report Share Posted August 15, 2008 don't have those specific pics, shroom, but there are some pics here that might help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
