spb Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 So tula have "rounded edgedgrips" and Izhmash have "square edgedgrips"? Exactly Shroomalistic: very nice collection!! Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) ###### and I who was gonna ceep it Izhmash only Ahwell guess ill get cheaper bakelite AKM mags now instead then since Tula is cheaper^^ Fareast what brand is that SU? Im guessing a Cyma w G&G pistolgrip and homemade custom handguard? Edited January 27, 2008 by GRIM! Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Fareast what brand is that SU? Im guessing a Cyma w G&G pistolgrip and homemade custom handguard? Its the ICS AKSU-74...not on the market at the moment as it's a review sample. The review should go up this week. Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 It's ICS. Again proving they can't make proper Ak's. Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 erm.....care to explain? Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 That ICS SU looks nasty :S Not sure why you would choose on over a cyma, kalash etc. Is the body still plastic under metal, or have they changed that? Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 Odd angle on the stock, again the ugly pistolgrip, ribbs on the top cover look too pronounced, no cutout on the bolt carrier, odd looking handguards (cutout too big etc), odd looking dimple (too small for a Tula Aks-74U) .. These may be minor things to most people but when combined make for an ugly Aks-74U.. A lot of clones available these days look a lot better. It just looks too odd compared to the other ones on the market at this point and compared to real ones.. Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 (edited) a slab sided 47 style bolt, a pistol grip that looks like a club foot and cooling vents on the handguard like teeth on a halloween pumpkin? edit - FW picked up on the others though Id let it off on the top cover as Im not sure anyone has got those right yet (on mine and the other ones Ive seen front rib pressing is only on the left hand side not right accross the cover to ejection cut out like everyone seems to do on airsoft ones, though those were all mid 80s ones so mileage may vary) fixed stock 56 looks good Im tempted to buy one to add to the underfolding one Ive already got (though I just know if I start down that road I'll end up buying every sodding gun they bring out lol) Edited January 27, 2008 by snorkelman Link to post Share on other sites
H-PAC Tatertot Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 I actually have to admit that painted AK would look pretty cool if the whole thing wasn't painted in that scheme. Say if the barrel and mag and a few other bits were left black. Seems like it would look real good with some german kit. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher i thought about the same thing afterward. but it was my first paintjob... i am going to "redo" the ak. replace some parts, getting BETA mags.... more. its internally upgraded with a HurricanE kit shooting 450fps Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted January 27, 2008 Report Share Posted January 27, 2008 The paintjob looked nice actually, maybe not so RS but well made Link to post Share on other sites
Delta14 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 (edited) Are there any Dragunouv/SVDs that are accurate yet not costing 1000 plus. Edited January 28, 2008 by Delta14 Link to post Share on other sites

cent101 Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Grim I really like the custom "magpull" you have done, very nice! Is it based on something real-life, for example insurgents in Iraq? I might do that with my AK74 mags as well.. once i get them.. Link to post Share on other sites

Puding Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Nice to see some pictures of the aims, the pictures posted by some shops don;t seem to be constant the finish seems to be very differant depending on where you look, the finish on your body seems a lot better.

kaptenn Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 I'm liking it man, good job! What did you use to do it? Hehe, thanks! some kind of citadel hobby paint i had laying around, orginally used to paint tiny models. It was called "flesh wash", and that is all i know. It´s like a darkred varnish.

Why? Because I have just received official word that modified versions of the ICS receiver and stock are being used in REAL AK74's and AKS's. The funiture is made to the exact same specs as the ones supplied on the decomisioned unit ICS was given to make this replica. Currently the information regarding which real arms manufacturers are now using these sets is confidential but I can say that ICS carry the licencing for a reason. More information on this should be released durring or after the shot show. Link to post Share on other sites
