Carbine Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Jonboy, nice! Let us know if you get the receiver cover on. The RS part is quite a bit shorter than the Marui one. Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy2312 Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Jonboy, nice! Let us know if you get the receiver cover on. The RS part is quite a bit shorter than the Marui one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks! ^^ I know the receiver cover is shorter... by about half a centimeter. I'll probably need to chop that much from the front of the airsoft receiver cover and weld the pieces together. The airsoft receiver cover reacts nicely to the blueing chemistry, which means it's "steel" enough to be weldable. If not - glue and filler will come into play I've already made an attempt to make the receiver appear stamped - though the result is bad... I'll have to apply filler again and sand it more carefully and more evenly. Not now, though, as there's a skirmish tomorrow. As soon as the parts arrive, I'll fix my filling job and add some fake rivets... That should look nice until I get a proper stamped receiver (I'm hoping CA will eventually release their SLR-105 receiver as a commonly available repair/upgrade part, just like their M15 receivers...) There's still a lot of work to be done on my AK, my wife's C7A1 is finally ready, though Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeah, if you can attach a magnet to a steel part, it's usually pretty simple to weld. Unless it's a bad cast, but the airsoft receiver covers aren't cast Good luck with the project! Link to post Share on other sites
Shroomalistic Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Couple updated pics of my ak's Slr105 wood kit and plum kit CYMA AKS with G&P wood kit and Prime metal reciever VFC AKS74U with Refinished wood and Plum grip Custom Built dont know what to call it anymore maybe a AKS47U (marui based) Link to post Share on other sites
christhesecond Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 if ur gonna get a gp-30 wait and get the star one cos the classic army one is a bad case of you get what you pay for and the CA doesnt have the russian trades and im not sure how much of it is plastic/abs it just looks a bit naff to me go for the star one ftw Link to post Share on other sites
staticzero Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Here are a few pics from saturday a friend of mine took that you all might appreciate. My custom AK is in there somewhere (bottom right in the first pic), there are a few VFC AKSUs, and a couple Guarder kits. Large versions and more pics here. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber Soldier Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Hopefully once I've got my deactivated Yugoslavian M70 I'll be putting my TM AK internals in it and get the Guarder bolt carrier and gearbox. Should be pretty sweet. I'll put pics up once it's finished. Link to post Share on other sites
Shroomalistic Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Beautiful. spewin all over my self. Love seeing all thsoe aksu's in the same place. I really like the wood from the guarder kit. Link to post Share on other sites
Crandall Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I think it's illegal to put AEG internals into any deactivated weapon, especially in the UK. I may be wrong though. Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I will be going to my local police station to sort out the legalities, I think as long as the barrel is bored and it's not possible to reactivate in any way I'll be able to do it. Link to post Share on other sites
phoenixkskg Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It is just me, or does anyone else not like rainbow colored ak's? (Plum magazines, synthetic pistol grips, wood hanguards/stocks.) I like all my stuff to match :/ Link to post Share on other sites
CapaciousZepher Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 (edited) Oh, I think it's down to personal preference. I don't mind all that. It's when AK's get tricked out with rails and lasers and lights that I get the dry heaves. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Edited June 26, 2006 by CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
Tommygunn Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 It is illegal to modify a deactivated weapon in the UK. If you need clarification contact the Birmingham Proof House as your local cop shop is unlikely to know as it is too specialised. http://www.gunproof.com/ Link to post Share on other sites

If you need clarification contact the Birmingham Proof House as your local cop shop is unlikely to know as it is too specialised. http://www.gunproof.com/ <{POST_SNAPBACK}> QFT dont go messing with deacts if you're in the UK it receives its deactivated status on the basis of a checklist of features and is proofed to ackonwledge that Remove alter those features from it and its no longer a deact think about it - if it could be deactivated to current requirements without them no one would waste the time and effort carrying them out in the first place They'd just cross drill the barrel, ruin the bore remove the innards and call it a day at that.

Cyber Soldier Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 I wouldn't worry I'm not going to do anything without full legal clearance first. I've just written to the Proofing house to find out the exact legalities. Link to post Share on other sites
HKG36 Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Is the Star GP30 grip made out of metal? Link to post Share on other sites

rossimura Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Mines just like the one above .... just with a scope mount ( no scope cos there is no point on an AK ) Link to post Share on other sites

Ye old Canadian Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Completely stock TM with some weathering applied and repainted stock and grips to look more real. The forgrip turned out the best. Link to post Share on other sites
ferretkiller Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Dang Man. That is nice. Great job on the weathering. Link to post Share on other sites
Ye old Canadian Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 thanks man. I'm pretty happy with how it all turned out. Believe it or not the whole process took only about 45 minutes plus drying time. I'm thinking about getting a metal receiver for it though because it just looks like plastic no matter what I do to it Link to post Share on other sites
