ComradeMP1 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I find that the newer G&G RK's are superb weapons with their only weak point being the slender stock tangs, that with enough force applies might tend to break. Of course the weak point is caused by the slenderness of the stock tangs with the body being made of magnesium which is strong and light weight, but a bit brittle. I had my stock tangs break on me, at different times and were accidents on my end, but I fixed the problem and now the gun is solid and is my primary workhorse. Link to post Share on other sites

Yes I saw how you fixed yours with CYMA tongs ComradeMP nice job. Ok so the even in the latest version (V3) the problem persists? Good info to know since I've just been saying stay away since previous versions were bad. See you at Pinos Comrade -punk_newbie Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 My G&G RK-103 came with broken stock tangs. I sold it off a couple months later. The guy who bought it replaced the receiver with a new one (within the last year). And the stock tang on that receiver promptly broke. He then sold it off and bought an AR-15.

afallan Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 It seems like the problem of broken stock tangs happens more with the RK/AK 100 series of G&G guns. I've never heard them break on the AK/RK 47. I've dropped my AK/RK 47 multiple times and the stock tangs are fine. Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodsword Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ex-Cyma AKSU. Ugly and smelly. But internally works well. Link to post Share on other sites

Bloodsword Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 The AKSU upper receiver is abit shorter than normal AK, so it leaves the little gap there. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 couldnt you have replaced the AKSU hingey upper handguard retaining majiggy with a standard AK rear sight block? i thought the cymas were compatible with previous cyma AK models. Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodsword Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I tried to install an ordinary AK front set, but it couldnt align with the body. Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Ha, apoxy won't work. Of course I know how to fix such things, I did on mine. if you want to fill me in on how (unless it actualy takes skill, Which I dont have) Cause I just want ot get rid of this. I just want a vfc now lol. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 I tried to install an ordinary AK front set, but it couldnt align with the body. I'd restore the gun back to an AKSU if I were you. The way it is now looks like it will break easily and you'll end up saying goodbye to your Aimpoint mid-game. All it takes to use the RIS foregrip on an AKSU is a little bit of ingenuity. Link to post Share on other sites
Jagdraben Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 All that your AK needs, now, is a Kobra. I must admit, however, that it is quite an attractive gun. Link to post Share on other sites

See you at Pinos Comrade -punk_newbie Aside from that little problem with the tangs, everything else is solid. Yeah, I recognized the avi. Hope to have a good time there. It seems like the problem of broken stock tangs happens more with the RK/AK 100 series of G&G guns. I've never heard them break on the AK/RK 47. I've dropped my AK/RK 47 multiple times and the stock tangs are fine. From the illustration I've seen of the construction of the RK47, the stock tang assy is more sturdily placed on the reciever and reinforced than on the 103/104. if you want to fill me in on how (unless it actualy takes skill, Which I dont have) Cause I just want ot get rid of this. I just want a vfc now lol. Dosen't really take skill, I half assed stumpled on the solution myself and it took me two tries with my third try being the final one. Just going to take some dremeling, a drill, and a TM style butt stock tang which you can find if you look for one. I took mine off of a spare CYMA CM.028 reciever. But since you say you only broke the upper. I would use some epoxy to keep the tang on the stock and then drill some holes on the stock and receiver and use some thing steel bits to firmly keep the stock to the receiver. My fellow non russian playing comrade did the same when his upper tang broke, but he used some wood. Then simply tape over some of it with blue tape so it doesn't look as bad. In this case it's functionality over vanity. Edited June 14, 2008 by ComradeMP1 Link to post Share on other sites
samuka Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Iam looking for a "russian looking" reddot for my AK-104. Kobra and other ak jewels are a bit too expensive. Maybe you have some ideas, or picture examples? Link to post Share on other sites

lovecraft25 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Your mag doesn't look like a 5.56 one (the back of the mag is too much curved)... so your AK would rather be a 74 than a 101 Bloodsword, Your ... "AK" is the pure fuglyness. Edited June 15, 2008 by lovecraft25 Link to post Share on other sites

lovecraft25 Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 (edited) Converted 5.56 mags are good too (the one on the right of the picture). Anyway, an "AK101" with a 5.45x39 mag is an "AK74". And you know it, don't deny it Edited June 15, 2008 by lovecraft25 Link to post Share on other sites
