Darelikov Posted September 2, 2009 Report Share Posted September 2, 2009 The rectical is to small than on real posp and not very crisp, the rubber eye thing is to small so you most use it without it, the knobs keep falling off, the extender (dont remember what its called) on the front is a very loose fit so it wont stick in any position.

mightyjebus Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 I have been working on my AK74's. Modded some RS mags to have G&P midcap internals and I repainted the front end of the Kalash as it was a bit two tone. This is a work in progress. It is a Romanian AIM74 (the romanians call it a 86). I need to strip the finish off the handguards and restain them, colour the pistol grip using dye somehow and mod the cocking lever to curve upwards oh and make the upper front hand guard appear like its bakelite (or try and find a RS one). BTW that's a RS romanian mag modded to have midcap internals and it's going to be the only one as they are a *badgeress* to mod!! Link to post Share on other sites

nodaisho Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Would anyone be able to do me a big favor and take a picture showing the barrels of an RPK and a normal AK side by side? I know the RPK is heavier, but I don't know how much heavier. I'm planning on getting a CYMA RPK when it comes out and slapping an AK-length barrel on it, but I'm not sure if I should try to get an RPK outer barrel and chop it down myself or go the easier and likely better-looking, if less accurate way, and just use a normal AK outer barrel. If I can tell how much difference there is, that will help me decide. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 errm, if you want to stick an AK length barrel on an RPK why not, you know, just buy an AK? RPKs are essentially AKs with longer barrels. Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 Project: *in progress* Romanian PM md.65 Based off a RS 56-1, w/realsteel front grip/gas tube. still to come, ribbed spine cover and cut-down front sight to std AK style. (from original T56 ring sight) Finally some one made this! So my guess is that you only need to change bolt, gasblock and front sight and youre done? Link to post Share on other sites
WL-Matt Posted September 5, 2009 Report Share Posted September 5, 2009 errm, if you want to stick an AK length barrel on an RPK why not, you know, just buy an AK? RPKs are essentially AKs with longer barrels. Maybe he wants a RPK PARA. I'd like to see that. Link to post Share on other sites
nodaisho Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 errm, if you want to stick an AK length barrel on an RPK why not, you know, just buy an AK? RPKs are essentially AKs with longer barrels. In real steel, they have receivers that are half again as thick, which means more durability and accuracy, heavier barrels, meaning it takes longer for a barrel to overheat, and with all of that, they weigh barely more than a standard AK47 (when both are unloaded), because of the stamped construction. It would be used in a S.T.A.L.K.E.R. loadout, so a slightly irregular look is good, I figure maybe the guy using it would have figured he didn't really need that extra seven inches of barrel, so he got it cut down, then he has something more carbine length, while keeping the benefits of the RPK over the AK. And have you seen AKs with RPK stocks on them? They look awesome. Matt, do you mean RPK para like short barrel, folding stock? Just short barrel, most likely, might be interested in trying to put a folding stock on it, but probably not, and if I did, it would be after working on internals to get it performing like I want.

WL-Matt Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Just a shortened barrel version, maybe a folding RPK stock. Link to post Share on other sites
nodaisho Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Folding RPK stock might be cool, but I haven't tried sourcing them, and I only know of real-steel versions. Sure, I could just get an AK folding stock, but that would defeat one of the main aesthetic benefits of the build. Besides, I hear the RPK stocks are really comfortable to use.

WL-Matt Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) Why would it ruin the aesthetics? I've seen RPKS74's and they look hot. http://shed-o-love.com/normal_RPK-74%20PARA%20002.jpg Edited September 6, 2009 by WL-Matt Link to post Share on other sites
nodaisho Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 Because the RPK stock on an AK looks awesome, somebody posted a picture in the later pages of the old AK thread, but I can't find it. I'm also hoping that if I just cut down the barrel, I could convince the referees of the local group that it is still an RPK, so it can use winding magazines if I want to. They said that a long-barreled AK doesn't count as an RPK, so maybe a short barreled RPK won't count as an AK. Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know of any pakistan-made ones like that, just of the VEPR distributed in the US by Robinson Arms. If I were to change an AKM into an RPK, I would need to cut out the rectangles, change the dust cover to the non-ribbed one (whose comfort would that be for then?), get an RPK rear sight, RPK furniture, maybe fill in the dimples (that varies with RPKs), which would add up to be a heck of a lot more than getting a CYMA RPK and getting a shorter outer barrel and inner barrel (I would want to get a new inner barrel anyway, for accuracy) and possibly a 47/M style gas block. Actually, if I were going to turn an AK into an RPK, unless I can source an RPK stock, it would be cheaper to just get an LCT RPK kit, and buy the internals separately, the CYMA will be much cheaper, and they seem to have figured out how to make AKs, at least.

my_plague_666 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 here's a couple of pics all i'm saying is hat cyma's propietry pinned and screwed buill will mean that afermarket barrels probably wont fit. filling a dimple with body filler and putting the reinforcments on isnt much effort at all. i suppose you could try cutting the barrel down yourself and re-pinning the front sight, that might be easier.

nodaisho Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 The way I understood it, CYMA has been using the VFC designs of late, same with Dboys. In that case, a VFC, CYMA, or Dboys replacement barrel would work, right? I see Dboys replacement barrels available, haven't found CYMA or VFC ones yet. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 no, cyma are using realsword construction. basicly the same as VFC but the barrel is screwed at the back instead of inned. real sword are the only other company using this design. rather than un-pinning everything from the barrel why not just unpin the front sight and chop it?

nodaisho Posted September 6, 2009 Report Share Posted September 6, 2009 What models does that go for? I hadn't heard anything about that, I had thought they had been using TM construction, and switched over to VFC around the .042 model. I was planning on chopping off some of the stuff from the middle of the barrel, between the gas block and the front sight, that way I still have the front sight on there easily, but I kind of want to keep a normal length outer barrel, in case I have to deal with event organizers that ###### a brick over how Russia never made one that looked like that, so it isn't milsim. I have to ask, what is that quote in your sig from? Link to post Share on other sites
