thegunrunner Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 You heard wrong <{POST_SNAPBACK}> In that case, I feel lucky I didn't buy it yet. I thought it would be a perfect base for my AKM project. Link to post Share on other sites

staticzero Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Custom AK47 using G&P metal body and wood set. Upgraded TM internals, metal hop up. Remaining parts pulled from sacrificial Matrix AK47 and refinished. Still want to change a few things, but I'm very happy with it so far. Anyone know where I could get a (real or otherwise) rear sling mount I could install in the stock? Had to use a flash for these next couple, so the wood looks wrong.

staticzero Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) Close-up of the wood (stock) Close-up of the wood (handguard) Montage (1680x1050 here) Full album with larger versions here. Here's one to show just how much is left over after a project such as this. Kind of depressing. Glad that's not TM money laying there.

thegunrunner Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Nice project, just out of my curiosity is the front sight post on the Matrix AK removable? Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Yep. Like the TM, it's only held on by a screw underneath (hidden under the 'cleaning rod'). Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it would be a perfect base for my AKM project. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's actually (beside the sidefolding) a replica of the real one and not of the Guarder one.. it has a bolt carrier, gas piston etc, all things the Guarder one lacks, and it's much easier designing a gun from the ground up to have such features. So for an AKM, it's a good base, it will need quite a lot of parts to make it look like an AKM though.. (Ribbed receiver cover, AKM handguards and stock, TM Ak-47 front end, slanted muzzlebreak) Link to post Share on other sites

thegunrunner Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I was actually wondering about this piece: I lost mine and I've tried to fit a real steel on, which only resulted in my AK looking like some conscript handled it. I'm trying to find a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying to find a replacement. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> UNCompany sell the TM AK47 front section (part AK-10) on it's own. It's probably worth checking them out (and WGC, if memory serves). The one thing I'm having trouble getting my hands on is the hop up adjuster (part AK-25). can't get hold of one for love nor money Ray Edited December 13, 2005 by AKRay Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 (edited) That the little L shaped piece?

Blazer Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 My new G&G 104 arrived today . <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I've got to ask if the scope interferes with the folding stock on the AKS74? Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 I've got to ask if the scope interferes with the folding stock on the AKS74? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes it does.. Sorry not my gun but i have almost the same set up. The stock can't be folded. Link to post Share on other sites
spb Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Indeed, no folding with the Cobra on the gun. Link to post Share on other sites
thegunrunner Posted December 13, 2005 Report Share Posted December 13, 2005 Have you attempted to fit a grenade launcher to the AK104? I just got a GP30, and I'm debating what gun to put it on. Also I might get another AK over Christmas, an AKM. Link to post Share on other sites
