dookieboy Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) G&G AKMS Review Background Info: After seeing my Birthday roll up around the corner I was eager to find a new AK that fits me, and low and behold this new G&G AKMS come out only 2 weeks before. I ordered it on the 3rd day it was released, and then paid for it on Tuesday of the following week. This gun was sold out in the first 4 Days it was released, but WGC Shop quickly learned to restock it and I got mine only a couple days later than if it was in-stock. Now to the AKMS itself: -The box art is quite nice as you can see, unlike the standard AEG boxes it is G&G design, meaning to open it you slide it out of the box not open a lid up. -Here is some more box art, you can see the side view of the box. -Here is the inside the box, noticed the how the gun is packaged firmly and tight with Styrofoam. -As shown, it comes with a manual, bb bag of 100 bbs, a Hi-Cap magazine, and a unjamming rod. -Here is the manual included. It is shiny, filled with a bunch of AKMS and AIMS graphics. It also shows the basic operation of the rifle etc. Here is the included magazine, it is a Hi-cap. I haven't used it yet. I have tested it out with Marui standards and it fed flawlessly with them. Here is the supplied bbs and a front sight adjuster. The tool sucks though, because the front sight is very tight [the leaf is] and so when your trying to use a plastic took to turn it, your not going to get that far -Here is a nice side-view of the gun, notice it has a more blacker appearance than of it's original design, being a Full Inokatsu/RMW AKMS clone. -Another side view and close-up.

dookieboy Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 (edited) -Up-close of the front end. -Nice crisp and clear sights. -And the right side of this beauty. Final Thoughts FPS: I am thinking its around 300 to 350 when I shot it, the gearbox seems really smooth. RoF: Seems to be quite nice and steady, I'd say around 850. Accuracy: This is the only thing they could have improved a bit on, it shoots good, but not as nice as my VFC AKS-74. Nothing a new TM rubber wouldn't fix. Range: Seems to be about a max of 150 to 160 feet. I have measured this out and physically tested this. Cons: -They could have made the hop up a bit better, but it feeds nice with TM mags so I'm happy. -Though it lacks a bit in the battery space department, and you might notice when pulling back your charging handle that the new Hop-Up lever is way thicker and bulkier than the TM one so it sometimes will catch on the Bolt if you let it slide forward fast, so you have to be a bit gentle. -The cleaning rod under the gun seems to be very loose on mine, so I wrapped the end that goes into the gun with some tape and shoved it back in, and I have no problems with wobbles now. -It uses a Marui-type battery storage space, so there is no room the the gas tube for a battery. All in all I am VERY happy with this gun seeing it is ROCK-SOLID. I swear they must have welded everything together . It is the same construction as a Inokatsu. If you have any question on this beauty please post up here! Thanks for reading! Edited August 7, 2008 by dookieboy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted August 7, 2008 Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 Nice Wood dosent look as nice as it did on there advertising photos or is it just the camera? and when you say full inok clone does it still use screws or have they redesigned it for pins? Do want! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2008 The wood is cheap but it still looks nice IMO, will replace it with Russian Furniture. It is still using set screws but they are FIRM. They aren't going anywhere. I thought it was pinned ta first its that sturdy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mikhail_Slipchenko Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) The wood is pretty good on mine, here it is. The upper is RS Russian wood. Edited August 8, 2008 by Mikhail_Slipchenko Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Magsz Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 So is this a rebranded RMW kit? Are we 100% sure? Is the whole thing steel? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freq88 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 I agree more meaningful pictures would be nice. Like with the dust cover off. A picture of the hopup unit. The front trunion area. Underside with the magwell. Area's that shows how it's built. I'm not saying you're lying but it would be nice to have pics just to see for ourselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted August 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Freg, I have handled Inokatsu Aks before, so you can say what you want but this is a 100% rebrand of the Inokatsu AKMS. I'll try to get more pictures but lately in SD its been hot as hell outside it's not the most enjoyable thing to do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
freq88 Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 (edited) Like I said I'm not saying you are lying or that you don't know what you're talking about. And again having some pictures with more meaning like the hopup unit, magwell and sutff. So we the readers can decide for ourselves about this. Especially, since not all of us have access to examine one in person. And if you don't feel like taking pictures than that's fine by me. I think I can survive. BTW I do believe cameras can work indoors too. But than again I haven't taken a picture in over a year so I could be wrong. Edited August 9, 2008 by freq88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wurst Posted August 19, 2008 Report Share Posted August 19, 2008 anything new?do you still think its a good gun? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2008 Yup, worth every penny if you want an AKMS. Best one out there being good for the money, and looks and quality wise. The shoulder stock part is really tight at first so you have to use the gun a bit before it becomes somewhat easier to fold mid-game. TM and G&Ps feed good in this gun, TM have a bit more play though than the G&P mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaoslord800 Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I just ordered mine on Friday from WGC shop How long did it take you to get yours? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Between 4-5 days. But I am in California so I'm pretty damn close to them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I'm trying to decide if I should get the G&G AIMS or the VFC AIMS. Although I love my G&G UMG, I've always heard so many horror stories about G&G guns' QC that it's left me a bit nervous investing in another G&G gun. But looking at photos of the two AIMS, the G&G appears to be a little more authentic looking. Anyone know how the two compare? Also interested in knowing how they compare to the RMW AIMS.

dookieboy Posted August 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 Well I haven't put that many rounds through mine, maybe One thousand. I'd say get the G&G AKMS its solid as hell, it auctually is as solid as my VFC AKS-74. It seems like they have the set screws built in more solidly, as they aren't poking out at all. The G&G gearbox is really nice too, having used mine and compared it with my other AKs it sounds way smoother, plus my friends G&G ver.III box form his UMG has worked flawlessly upgraded with a M110 for over 100K rounds.

chaoslord800 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 I just got mine today. Only niggle I've had is that the top cover is kind of a pain to get back on and the limited battery space is kind of a downer. On the performance end (so far) this rifle has excellent range AND accuracy. I'll be using it in a skirmish on Sunday I'll let you all know how she performs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Put about now 5,000 bbs through this and no hiccups. The Hicap magazine feeds pretty good as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
neros131 Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 How has it been treating you? Any new developments? I have been shopping around for either an AKMS or AIMS. I hate to have to spend so much on yet another AK, but I love how they look. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted September 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 It's been treating me good, at first I was scared slightly by its design but now design fears me! Like I said shoots nice stock out of the box with a very good RoF. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
STRELOK Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 Epic win, that akms looks great congratulations on your new gun, nice pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Can you explain the Battery storage space. Will it take a 9.6v or 8.4v stick battery? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted September 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I know it fits a 8.4 but I don't know if it will fit a 9.6, it should as they are only an inch longer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted September 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Just checked and RS parts should fit this with LITTLE to NO modding, I tested using a Hungarian RSB, Romy Upper handguard and gastube. Though the lower handguard retainer would need a bit of sanding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
