lovecraft25 Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 I love this Makarov. Somebody should really tell KSC, Marui, WA, ----* to build one. (* put whatever GBB brand here) Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 Anyone know where to find a Dboys or VFC steel bolt? My damned G&G one just broke.... Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 (edited) Ugh, EPIC fail on my part. EPIC. So I learn today that the VFC does not have standard 14mm threads...Noveske on order is now out the window. I also learn that the scope mount is not of real dimensions...PK-AV that I'm expecting (should be here tomorrow) is also out the damn window. Also ordered a PBS-4...it's a clone, and not the VFC...so this may very well be out the window as well. Remember, guys, to DO YOUR RESEARCH before purchasing anything. The first AK I've owned has become somewhat of a bummer... -Vic Edit: Jag has informed me that there might be an adapter under the muzzle break...I'll have to check. Edit 2: Yay, there was. THANKS Jag! Edited November 10, 2008 by Victory Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted November 9, 2008 Report Share Posted November 9, 2008 LOL Vic, they DO have standard threads, its under the flashhider adapter, has a set screw aswell. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Anyone know where to find a Dboys or VFC steel bolt? My damned G&G one just broke.... email VFC for a VFC one or try keith at RSOV.com to see if he has any Dboys steel ones (he used to do replacement pot metal ones) Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 (edited) LOL Vic, they DO have standard threads, its under the flashhider adapter, has a set screw aswell. Yeah, had a bit of a convo with Jag over MSN. It's all better now. Now, to wait and see if the PK-AV mounts... -Vic P.S. Where's my M4...I need to cuddle with something less frightening.

Bersy Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Victory if the PK-AV is abit wobbly use some black eletrical tape on the PK-AV mount, my kobra is a tiny bit wobbly on my VFC ak and 2 layers of black tape sorted it out! Link to post Share on other sites

CapaciousZepher Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 As has been said before, nice job with that. Looks tacticool without being over done, plus I feel it sort of stays truer to the AK "style" than some of the tricked out AK's. Cheers! - CapaciousZepher Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 anyone know a good way to die bakelite (the mags) to make it more realistic etc? sand them down with a fine grit sandpaper, get some red varnish (i've used ronseal deep mahogany, but i think it could really do with being something a bit lighter. maybe ordinary mahogany) and a pretty knackered paint brush (one that leaves really bad brush marks) and go over the whole mag top to bottom in uneven, wavy lines. make sure the brush marks are prominent. davedawg: i'm not going to say that i like it, but oddly enough i dont find it nearly as repulsive as other tacticool AKs. an AK74M style folding solid stock might look quite cool, Dboys make them. liking the mini aimpoint too, cool looking sight and makes more sense than sticking a bloody great Eotech or aimpoint on the front of your gun. well done in making a tacticool AK that doesnt make me want to puke.

beta08 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 As requested, a few more pics: *Leet pictures here* I hope you don't get mad, but I have no choice but to copy you. That AK has a very high Win content... to much to resist... I have to copy you. I might use a different foregrip though... Link to post Share on other sites

beta08 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 Nice! I was actually debating getting the AKs74u with rails a while ago, but then I moved on to the AK103... but my hope for this is renewed. I wasn't a fan of the "sharp" looking rails but those covers seemed to do the trick. As for the grip, I was thinking this. Not to expensive and it looks nice. Anyways... What do you think of the blowback? If you remove the blowback rod, can the charging handle rack all the way back? Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbeat Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I think what keeps it looking like an AK is the AK stock. too many tacticool AK's replace their's with M4 stocks, which don't really fit the lines of an AK Link to post Share on other sites

beta08 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 I hear ya. Skeleton stocks FTW. Solid folding stocks in the airsoft world are a waste of plastic in my opinion... Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Alrighty, got my PK-AV in today...and, either I can't figure out how to mount it (I'd imagine it'd be fairly simple...), or, the VFC mounting rail is not MilSpec. If someone can tell me just by that pic, that'd be great. (BTW, didn't do the wear job myself. I think it's a bit overdone, but I'm not complaining. It's an AK, afterall. ) PBS-4 is on the way. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 the VFC mounting rail is not MilSpec. Bingo VFC's rail is around 1mm thinner than other AK rails, which is beyond what adjustment can do. You may need to use something as "shim", I suggest put that shim on the top side of the rail to prevent the shim coming off. Link to post Share on other sites
