SABRE100 Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 Thanks. What is the comparison(external durability) to the newer cyma guns out there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jumprefusal Posted September 26, 2009 Report Share Posted September 26, 2009 I didn't know that about MAG, that will make me think twice before I ever buy them again. I have an RK-02 and my plum MAGs are loose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
knivezs Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 anybody knows where can i get a complete hop-up unit for my Rk-02? my gun is missing the hop stabilizers(L shape plastic+ the plastic were the hop-up sits) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 Received the Dboys/Kalash Steel AKS-74N on Friday. As I expected, there where both pleasant and not so pleasant surprises.  First of all, the good stuff: *Stock mechanism, etc is solid, no wobble *Magazine catch has been revised, MAG magazines click firmly into place *7mm Bearings inside gearbox *Bearings on spring guide *2nd tooth on piston removed, for better AOE *Compression was very good, out of the box  Then, the bad stuff: *Front sight is canting to the left *Rear Sight Block sits too far to the front, top cover does not sit firmly in place because of this *Scope rail is still to small for some optics to mount, i.e. Kobra sight *Outer Barrel is still Aluminum  All in all, not a bad gun. The barrel issue is the worst though, but I'll be replacing it with the good barrel from my old Dboys/Kalash AK-74M. This will also fix the issue with the Rear Sight Block.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This will also fix the issue with the Rear Sight Block.  It's not that the rear sight block is too far forward, the cover is just short. The stock cover kept coming off every time I skirmished. I tossed the stock cover and got an ICS AK-74 cover, fits nice and snug, has a better finish, and isn't distorted from being pressed like the stock cover.  http://www.airsoftpost.com/upper-receiver-...ed-p-26074.html  A layer of tape should fix the "too small" business. You could always buy the rail mount to put an RDS on it. Edited October 14, 2009 by ST19AG_WGreymon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 No, it's not that. I tried another Kalash top cover, a Marui top cover, and a Guarder cover, they where all the same. My other Kalash does not have this problem, so it's deffo the RSB that sits to far too the front. Â Regarding the scope rail, it's no problem. I have a modified Kalash scope rail (added material with welding), so I just use that one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

counterassasin Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 On the barrel issue, I think so. But the scope rail has always been too small, even VFC's design is too narrow Quote Link to post Share on other sites

knivezs Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 is the gun TM compatible? i was thinking of changing the whole gearbox with a TM v3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 knivezs: Just go for it, it's 100% compatible Quote Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 As a side note, I recieved answer from VFC if they would sell the Steel AK-74M Outer Barrel. Â Their price was 76$ shipped for the outer barrel. Â So it looks like I'll be getting a steel barrel for my Kalash. Best of both worlds Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best of both worlds  Sweet. Looks like I'm saving up for a new outer barrel now. The threads on my DBOYS got knackered when I tried to get the flash hider off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spider Dan Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 awsome review been looking at this for a while now.. think i may sell up and get one.. CHEERS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Horse Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Does anyone know when they changed over to the new Mag latch? That is the only major problem with the Kalash guns - that stupid mag catch. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 The mag catch on my steel one, only needed a gentle stroke with a file over. Not even a mm, and now MAG magazines sit rock solid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
