Walton_County_Firefighter Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Quick question for you ak lovers. Does the dboys AKS74 come with a steel receiver or does it come with a plastic one? Link to post Share on other sites
neoptolemus Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Steel of course! Link to post Share on other sites
Kraut Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Metal, but certainly not steel. Link to post Share on other sites
neoptolemus Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 On what grounds are you basing that on? Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 Kalash RK series receivers are stamped metal. some have zinc alloy trunnions, outer barrels, and sight blocks. the newer versions, peeps say, are all steel but i cannot personally attest to that. Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 well I can attest to them being steel bodies as the pics of my SU (Dboys) show what happens when you strip and re-blue them The front trunions etc are not steel on the earlier ones like mine but on newer versions they apparently are Link to post Share on other sites

afallan Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I was under the impression that only Kalash/Dboys AKSU-74's are the only ones that have steel receivers. The AKS-74 that I had wasn't made of steal. It was metal, but it felt too light to be steel. Unless the newer ones are made of steel, then I'm wrong. afallan Link to post Share on other sites
1st Commando Posted July 11, 2008 Report Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'll find out for sure this week as my AKS74 is the next one for bluing Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted July 13, 2008 Report Share Posted July 13, 2008 Kalash RK series receivers are stamped metal. some have zinc alloy trunnions, outer barrels, and sight blocks. the newer versions, peeps say, are all steel but i cannot personally attest to that. the recievers are steel on ALL kalash models. the new AKSU is the only one to be ENTIRELY steel (except the barrel, like VFC), all the previous models had steel recievers, top covers, selectors, muzzle breaks/flash hiders and stocks. the rest was pot metal (changed for steel on the new AKSU) Link to post Share on other sites

crash commader Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 heres my folding stock rpk thing that I made out of bits of a src rpk and a cyma ak105 I haven't based it on any real steel ak that I know of, but I still think it looks nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Jumprefusal Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 Wow that's really a first! Interesting to say the least, I'm staring at it and can't decide what to think. In my opinion I think a different flash and some long 40 round mags would balance it out a bit more....I could be smoking crack though. But you are one step ahead of the group in creating an RPKS74. You would need this: http://www.k-var.com/shop/product.php?prod...at=0&page=3 And you'll also need to find a synthetic RPK stock, or if possible the real thing but I imagine that costs some $$$. Sorry if you have no desire to build one, it's something I've wanted to do for quite awhile now and haven't seen anybody else attempt it yet Link to post Share on other sites
