dog green 1 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 cyma isnt full steel. go dboys/kalash What do you mean???? Thought all the 048 CYMA models were all metal and wood. Some great looking guns on here. A question a little off topic. Looking at the various retail outlets who all seem to have a huge range of AK's for sale. Which is the model most suited to the Vietnam war era???? If CYMA or Dboys/Kalash do one can you give me the model number. Link to post Share on other sites
evilbunny21 Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 What do you mean???? Thought all the 048 CYMA models were all metal and wood. Metal, yes Steel, no Alot of their more recent models have steel recievers, but there are still alot of non-steel metal parts. Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodsword Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 All Kalash wpns arent steel either. Link to post Share on other sites
Lajjvo Posted October 2, 2009 Report Share Posted October 2, 2009 @ dog green 1: I'd say either akm/akms or type 56. Both guns have been made in millions and exported all over the world. Link to post Share on other sites

All Kalash wpns arent steel either. well the all steel ones are oddly enough Link to post Share on other sites
nodaisho Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Not completely steel, just mostly steel. Does RSOV still have their pictures up with magnets on everything that is steel on the Kalash steel models? I seem to remember the outer barrel and trigger being pot metal, and did they ever fix the pot metal locking mechanism? Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 Nice AIMs TriChrome, is that the stock pistol grip or is the LCT bakelite one? And I have a question on sourcing a Kalash AKSU front set; anyone know where to buy one? I'd like steel but doesn't have to be. My friend has a Kalash AK74S receiver, and I want to convert my Cyma.035 to a stamped receiver. I figured I'd swap the gearbox, hopup and furniture to Kalash parts, and drop the guts from my CM.028 into the old .035 body. Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 VFC AKS74 with some Dboys mags I modded to look more realistic. The mag in the middle is a Real steel one converted to a midcap. Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember the outer barrel and trigger being pot metal, and did they ever fix the pot metal locking mechanism? well the trigger is part of the gearbox, not the outer shell, yes the barrel isnt steel (same as VFC) but EVERYTHING else is (unlike cyma which has pretty much an entirely pot metal front end). and yes the locking mech is steel. awesome effort there jebus! now do that with some MAG brand mids so you wont have those ugly ribs.

mightyjebus Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 My mids go in RS shells (I prefer G&P plum mids as i've never had a problem) and hicaps I use Dboys as again I've never had a problem unlike some of the MAG/CYMA/various other mags I had. The dboys mags work well in both the VFC and Kalash 74's. In this case i'm going to overlook the ribs because they function so well. Link to post Share on other sites
TriChrome Posted October 3, 2009 Report Share Posted October 3, 2009 (edited) Nice AIMs TriChrome, is that the stock pistol grip or is the LCT bakelite one? That is the stock grip as far as I know, but I actually did replace it with the LCT one after I took these pics when the original broke (I dropped in a G&G gearbox I had into it, and it sat about 1mm too low on the VFC body, so the constant bending of the grip snapped it off where the screw holds it to the motor mount). The LCT one is a tad darker overall, and a little more dark purple; which probably does resemble the bakelite it's supposed to be more than the original one. Here's what the new grip looks like, but I don't know if this picture shows the difference that well: Edited October 3, 2009 by TriChrome Link to post Share on other sites

Does RSOV still have their pictures up with magnets on everything that is steel on the Kalash steel models? I seem to remember the outer barrel and trigger being pot metal, and did they ever fix the pot metal locking mechanism? Front trunnion and rear trunnion, aswell as the stock locking mech are ALL steel. The barrel is not steel, then again... neither is CYMA's, VFC did not use steel barrel in their AKS-74 either(due to the realsteel design). The steel parts are really hard to find even in USA.

08kecarv Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 DAMNNNN Bloodsword! looks like the artificial wear train just raped your AK! It looks amazing though. The grip looks a bit new though, may wanna beat the hell out of that a bit Link to post Share on other sites
Bloodsword Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 Nah, Im confortable with the grip. I might change it for a wooden one though. Link to post Share on other sites

Flolito Posted October 8, 2009 Report Share Posted October 8, 2009 WOW that´s a usedlook xD But i think that this is a little bit to much. Clean it a bit with weapon oil , work on the sling and the pistolgrip that it looks used and you will have an awesome AK btw Great job so far Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) TriChrome, looks better with the LCT grip, looks more like the real Bakelite grips I've seen. I was going to build an LCT RPK and use the bakelite grip, but I decided it would just be too expensive for a replica, so I'll just wait for the CYMA RPK and upgrade it a little, and put on the bakelite grip instead of that flat black grip CYMA insists on using on everything. barnezilla, that looks like something someone might end up with when building an AK from various US and foreign parts, like whatever was at hand and US made was thrown in to have a 922r compliant rifle. Looks good though, unique and realistic. Bloodsword, looks like it was dug out of a weapons cache buried in the mud, except all the non-steel parts aren't rusted. I'd sand down the rust with steel wool and rub it with oil so it gets a pitted, worn, dull brown look of something that's been through a lot of handling and use.

azsworst Posted October 9, 2009 Report Share Posted October 9, 2009 I would never buy the LCT fakelite grip again, very weak. Especially for an RPK Link to post Share on other sites
