my_plague_666 Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 they really do feel different. bakelite has an odd cold, weighty solid feel to it. and it really would look better than a stock TM sprayed, as with paint you will have real difficulty replicating the grain and pattern of real bakelite. would be a worthwhile mod if you were converting a TM 74M into an AKS74 IMO.

PlasticMag Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Gotta throw in my .02 cents here, I agree with The_Boy_Swift - I've got a selection of quality pistol grips (both real and airsoft here) and the finish really isn't that much different. Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Does anyone know whether there are any metal 74 type hi-caps out there, as opposed to the 47 type ones that look so strange in my AKS74U? Thanks. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 (edited) Nop.. mostly because only Romanians, Chinese (low numbers though) and the Polish made production metal 5.45 mags.. the rest used polymer or bakelite.. Edited November 2, 2008 by FW200 Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Damn... The metal 47 mags have a hard time fitting in my gun, although they feed fine, I guess. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Nop.. mostly because only Romanians, Chinese (low numbers though) and the Polish made production metal 5.45 mags.. the rest used polymer or bakelite.. You missed North Korea There be very few photos of it but it looks the same as the Chinese (possibly is the Chinese) Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 fear not, you'll learn to love the polymer mags besides steel 5.45 mags look odd in general IMO. rusmil has some RS ones if you're interested, you want them as hicaps so you shouldnt need many (2 perhaps). just buy a couple of RS ones and bung AK74 hicap internals in them Link to post Share on other sites

L4byr1nth Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I know there's a plastic DBoys/Kalash 1000 round AK74 hi-cap, but nothing that looks like that 40 rounder! Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
Noart Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Electric 40rounder highcap for the groups RPK, plx? Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) The 40rd hicap (it is a hicap) holds something like 1200-1500rds. I don't know for sure, since it always measures a little differently, but it will feed every single one of them reliably. It's a CYMA hicap with ICS guts and took about 10 minutes to slap together (modification of magazine aside). *edit - I'm working on converting a real 55rd magazine. That should be really fun.

my_plague_666 Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I know there's a plastic DBoys/Kalash 1000 round AK74 hi-cap, but nothing that looks like that 40 rounder! Ben. thats based on the prototype quad stack mags. 40/45 rounders are just longer AK47/M or AK74 mags. Link to post Share on other sites

The Crunchy Bunny Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 If I had the money, I would by that AMD65 in a second. IMO hands down the best looking AK varient out there. I can't wait to see your GRIM. Link to post Share on other sites
