-=OGGY=- Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 I love the wear on the metal parts. You stopped at the exact right time. I think the wood could take some more abuse though. Link to post Share on other sites
beta08 Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) Thanks a lot man! I would have to agree with you about the wood. I think I will go with the black paint method. EDIT: Oh, and It's a Real Sword Type 56-1 for anyone interested. Best weapon I've ever owned. Edited October 25, 2009 by beta08 Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 That's real wood on there... I'd say go with maybe Guiness' technique rather than painting it. Looks really good though. Link to post Share on other sites

DFM56 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Anyone know where I could get a spare lower with a rommy sidefolding stock for the latest CYMA AKs? Either that or a stock that will work with a '74 stock tang and receiver? Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Anyone know where I could get a spare lower with a rommy sidefolding stock for the latest CYMA AKs? Either that or a stock that will work with a '74 stock tang and receiver? nope, cyma use a realsword design with a 99% pinned construction but a screwed barrel. this makes changing receivers a tad awkward as there are no aftermarket recievers using this design. you could always bodge a real steel stock to fit the existing reciever. other users have done so with good results IIRC. Really? I thought that was all wood stain. Shows how I carefully I read! nah, he says to lay a cloth over it, batter it and then go over with black/dark brown acrylic and wipe off quickly so it simulates dirt gathered in all the dents and scrapes.

kojak Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 My budget AKXX: I picked this up in a trade, barely working and missing the stock. The wood parts, sling and rig are all military surplus and cost about 30 bucks total. An internal tune-up, a ton of varnish stripper, a lot of dremeling, and a bit of tung oil and it's a fairly presentable "bad guy" gun. Still needs a wood or vented metal top cover and a wood grip--maybe even an old NSPU or a GBB kit if I'm feeling generous. Link to post Share on other sites

jonboy2312 Posted November 4, 2009 Report Share Posted November 4, 2009 i hate painted Ak's normally. but that right there is epic! Badass dude! especially with the V helm XD I absolutely hate it when people paint the classic models that come with wood furniture... There are modern AK derivatives out there, however, that end up painted often - Polish troops, at least some units, get to paint their Beryls. So I'm excused And thank you! You are not legion. Also, nice AK! Top job on the paint as well. I'm just an airsofter who happens to like V for Vendetta As for the paintjob - thanks... personally I think it could be a bit smoother here and there, but I guess the way it is now, it's quite authentic. Can't wait for the big milsim at the end of the month to give it some natural wear Link to post Share on other sites
Ace of Spades Posted November 5, 2009 Report Share Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) My teammates AK. Yea its not mine, but I spent three hours yesterday dremelling the dam Element body to fit on the Tokyo Marui. Edited November 5, 2009 by Ace of Spades Link to post Share on other sites

FrostySnowman Posted November 6, 2009 Report Share Posted November 6, 2009 jonboy, that Beryl is awesome! Parts list please? Link to post Share on other sites
jonboy2312 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 (edited) jonboy, that Beryl is awesome! Parts list please? Thanks! As for the parts, that's pretty complex, but here it is: The base is an Aftermath Kraken (a clear-receiver Ak-47, since i couldn't obtain any AK-74 at the time...) and then: -Metal AK-74 receiver, has to be a solid stock type (forgot the manufacturer, sorry, but it's one of those with separate steel immitation firing mechanism axes on the left side) -steel ribbed receiver cover (kit with the above) -nylon fiber black AK-74 hand grip (kit with the above) -VFC gas block, 90-degree AK-74 type (required a lot of dremeling to fit... any AK-74 style gas block will do) -custom bipod retainer ring on barrel, bipod stabilizer pin epoxied into the gas block in place of the cleaning rod which is not carried on-weapon on the Beryl) -Real Steel gas tube - Beryl/Tantal type, with no handguard retainers. AN AMD tube might do the job, too. Since I couldn't get a one-piece upper/lower handguard & gas tube retainer, unique to the Tantal/Beryl series, I had to improvise for now until I get the correct part) -AKM-type front sight block, P&J (the AKM type is the closest in appearance... AK-74's is too long at the base) -custom outer barrel extension, steel (will ultimately be replaced by a one-piece steel outer barrel) -RS flash hider -RS stock (bolted into a steel block wedged and epoxied in the back of the receiver) -RS RIS rail attachment, bolted into the receiver cover since it won't fit the way it's designed to (notches in rear sight base and notch on the stock tang)- airsoft AK receivers are about 5mm longer (I just have two identical receiver covers - one with, one without the RIS attachment) -the rear sight base was dremeled and bondoed into correct shape (Beryls and Tantals have no gas tube locking lever), will ultimately be replaced with an RS part -still need to install an immitation firing mode selector on the left side, opposite fromt he sfety switch (those functions are separate on the Tantal/Beryl line) That's it on the outside. Never touched the innards, no need - it shoots over 400fps, gears are super smooth and the piston has superb compression, so there was absolutely no need to tamper with it) Edited November 7, 2009 by jonboy2312 Link to post Share on other sites
