snorkelman Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 I just had to buy one more AK shaped object though at moment I reckon it'll go in the 'weird things to hang on the wall' collection Will see how I feel about it once it arrives Link to post Share on other sites
hhsohn Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Ooooo... That's just the FTC AK, right? Not the Sheriff version? I haven't had first hand experience with the FTC AK, but I hear the internals are rather complicated and not as robust as other classic airsoft... If you need more info, go to www.classicairsoft.net. I'm sure the guys would be glad to be of help. Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted May 7, 2006 Report Share Posted May 7, 2006 Snorkel, welcome to the world of classics. I too don't happen to have that particular piece, but I hear it's alright. Metal except the lower body, shoots alright, but listen to Howard. Complicated internals, not so robust. Still a nice piece. Come over to CA.net, we'll get you hooked up with all the info you need!

AKRay Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 (edited) My new Bullpup AK. *picture* Oh yes... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Despite my misgivings about the UNCompany bullpup AK (which is absolutely terrible, both from an aesthetics and a practicallity point of view), yours looks pretty good. Shame it doesn't have iron sights on it though. I know from handling the UNCo bullpup that the standard layout forthe sights doesn't work, so obviously a bit of engineering is required. What kit is on that? And why does it look like you've taped the bit holding the holosight in place? EDIT - I know the answers now, I've just seen the relevant thread in the Technical Section. Cool. -- misgivings? who am I kidding? I hate the UNCo bullpup AK Edited May 8, 2006 by AKRay Link to post Share on other sites
Jett Posted May 8, 2006 Report Share Posted May 8, 2006 Cheers, AKRay. The tape is more to hold the pistol grip level with the rest of the body. The kit is well-made (in terms of material) but not quite so in terms of dimensions. I've had to do the best I could, all the bits go exactly where they should but they just don't quite stay there. Some of the screw holes have been a little over-wound at that's caused some parts of the weapon to be a little more loose than I suspect they would have been had the kit been brand new. I'm usually quite a perfectionist when it comes to getting conversion kits to fit but this particular one has given me a fair bit of grief. I expect I'll take it apart at a later date and see if anything more can be done. However, for now, even with a bit of tape and some (I'm sorry if you're a purist) wood screws she feels sturdy and is easily skirmishable. She passes the benchmark test when it come to fitting conversion kits anyway: Can you pick up the rifle at any point without fear of it coming loose? The answer is yes.

snorkelman Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 I've got AK fever after buying this baby at AEX <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Careful - AK fever knows no end once it starts - theres no known cure all you can do is treat the symptoms with more AKs hehe AEX definately seems the place to go if you want one stateside same price as the HK dealers, and (I think) with free shipping?

thegunrunner Posted May 10, 2006 Report Share Posted May 10, 2006 If you live in CA, you pay pretty much the same as buying from HK with shipping, as you need to pay the sales tax. It's still better than buying from Taiwan though. Link to post Share on other sites
thegunrunner Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Just took delivery of some Russian optics. They're cheap, much cheaper than some western counterparts. PK-23 with AIM, soon to be mid-production AKM. Also picked up a PK-A, want to put this on a AKS-74N, hopefully VFC will make it. Link to post Share on other sites

BTW Snorkel, great job on the VFC AK review, it was a big factor in me picking one up myself. Now after seeing Gunrunner's AKs, me wants a AKM bad! Link to post Share on other sites

Desolation mkII Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 My brother rewired it for me and I am about to order a new piston because thats the worst feature after the wiring. A new piston apparently can up the FPS by about +40 Link to post Share on other sites
