PlasticMag Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 You forgot the rear sling mount, dude... Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 Just had these done for my AKS-74M. I drew the top cover lock in AutoCAD and took it to a gunsmith, who then made it out of steel and blued it. He also made a new pin for my real-steel magcatch and spring, so they wouldn't pop out all the time, attached it like in the real AK and blued the whole trigger guard assembly. All this set me back 40euro, not including the trigger guard, mag catch and spring. Now the only external parts left, that are not steel, are the trigger and the front sight corn Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 yeah i no the sling mount isn't in it. i couldnt be arsed with it. i sort of *fruitcage*ed it up, adn tbh i would never use it anyway. luckily, the hole it left helped me a lot in fixing my selcetor problem, as i coudl see how much the selector rail was moving.

screamin_weasel Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) ok dudes i have finished the AK now, got some wear on the wood. no doubt some of you will tell me "its unrealistic" , but yeah ok then. in person the wear is more subtle, the bare metal less shiny and the wood less red. sorry about that fuzzy pic cheers Edited February 24, 2006 by screamin_weasel Link to post Share on other sites

M1 Grand Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 Any one got an AK and a Mp5sd5 that they could take a pic of for comparison? Link to post Share on other sites

snip3r Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 S_W i *fruitcage* love that AK it gives the look of "i been used through the afghan war, used by an insurgent in iraq the first time round and used again in gulf 2.....yet i can still empty 30 round's with a bit of a clean and a single pull of the trigger!" superb job dont let the anyone tell you otherwise Link to post Share on other sites

screamin_weasel Posted February 24, 2006 Report Share Posted February 24, 2006 i havnt skirmished the AK47 yet, but it seems to be nice. the pistolgrip is quite chunky, but that might be because i put an aftermarket grip on it. i doubt the extra length will make much difference, although the barrel in the AK runs to the end of the outer barrel, whereas the barrel of the mp5 stop just after the start of the silencer. the MP5 is ICS. i would imagine i will like my MP5 more, but only because its my first gun and its my baby Link to post Share on other sites

Thegunrunner, those are sweet AKs! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> glad you like it dude. like i said, i am chuffed as *fruitcage*. i only brought it to beat it up, mission accomplished. just think of all the Guarder kit boys who daren't scratch their gun cos it cost more than a car lol. oh well.

Carbine Posted February 25, 2006 Report Share Posted February 25, 2006 (edited) <RANT>I'm not scratching up my Guarder kits. Why? Because they weather EXACTLY like the real AK would. The receiver is blued, so in time it will polish up and get small scratches, etc. Real worn AKs don't look like they've been attacked with sand paper or a file either, and thus I don't want my Guarder kits looking like it either. If one does choose to weather their AK with sand paper, etc. At least look at pics of real AKs to make it looks realistic.</RANT> However, for metal receivers like G&P, etc. that are painted and not blued or parkerized like the real ones, sanding them is pretty much the only way to achieve a somewhat realistic weathered look if you don't want to drag your rifle to hell and back to scratch it up. An AK should be scratched, etc. I like how Screamin_weasel too the plunge to weather his. The KA and G&P wood kits look stupidly red and cheap if not weathered at all. Don't get me wrong though. I don't want to dish anyone with a non-Guarder wood/metal AK. I'm just saying how I, myself, feel about my AKs Here is an excellent link for anyone looking to weather their AK: http://tantal.kalashnikov.guns.ru/proindex.html Edited February 25, 2006 by Carbine Link to post Share on other sites
