mysli Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Well i shorted down the barrel and put an aluminium piston head into/on my aks74u and its alot louder than any noveske styled loudener ive ever heard... if i find a proper recording device ill upload the footage here for you to enjoy Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just thought I'd show my latest homebrew AKSU mods: All completely and easily reversible - I can have it back to stock AKSU appearance in about 5 minutes. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 you know dark, for a raped AK, thats kinda nice. the vert grip looks really well done. just throwing a couple of ideas out here, i think the laser looks a bit mahoosive, might look better if you find a smaller unit and clamp it to the underside of the barrel (almost MGS2 style) also i think the eotech makes it look a tad unbalanced, i think a short section of rail bolted on the area in front of the rear sight with either a doctor or aimpoint T1 would look pretty sweet.

Schultz98 Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) I agree, thats the least raped looking raped aksu ive seen in a while mysil that sounds awesome I look forward to hearing it! Edited February 18, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 Aye, the EoTech is too big - if I could afford a Kobra I would, but alas, I cannot. Until then, I work with what I have. The front grip is a custom job from an ELEMENT AKSU grip set, which came with a pistol grip that I didn't need - so I dremeled out a hole in the bottom of the lower grip, fed the pistol grip in from the top till it sat perfectly straight and epoxied it into place, painted it over and soldered two holes in for the rail to be bolted on - there's a spacer (an extra bolt) in between the rail and the grip proper as the ribs and bumps on the grip stop anything from bolting onto the rail otherwise. Tis' a bit rough and ready, but I think it works - keeping as many AKSU-specific parts in the build helps keep the lines looking good. Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Very interesting, I like. Hopefully I can join the AK club soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 idk Eotech looks cool to me, I use my ACM kobra on my aksu thing but its only really good for Cqb, it annoys me outdoors Link to post Share on other sites

Reincarnation... Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 A Kobra would be nice. If you ever decide on using a mini red dot or similar, you could use this method of optic mounting by StromWerkz also. Seem it would be very easy to replicate as DIY; grab a piece of spare rail, cut to fit and then screw to secure. Link to post Share on other sites
Jon L Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 Darklite i thought that in the first picture you had butchered the top of the handguard and stuffed a laser unit in whilst retaining the front sight, looks great, then i saw the second pic and its only strapped onto the side, but still loving the foregrip.

Reincarnation... Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 Well what you suggested sound more like adding an UltiMak rail or similar by replacing the upper handguard. At least to me. But who cares, the difference is like 2 inches Link to post Share on other sites
neoptolemus Posted February 20, 2010 Report Share Posted February 20, 2010 I used to think there was something wrong with "raped" AK's, but quite frankly, the Eotech looks fine. The silencer and everything else is a bit much, but it's completely reasonable to have an Eotech on an AK now, given that they show up in photos. One thing to consider for the super realism oriented aspect is that AKS-74UN's were kind of rare, so I have seen Eotechs mounted onto a handguard rail system as opposed to a side rail. But, if you look back at the 2008 inter-CIS FSB competition, one soldier has a red dot sight mounted to a side rail adapter.

DarkLite Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 still think a small RDS on a small rail just in front of the rear sight would fit best with the overall look of the gun, but its your gun after all. also, doesnt that VFG interfere a lot with the 7.62 mags? i would have thought 5.45 mags would be easier to use. The FG does make changing out the 7.62 mags difficult - I might have to now get some 5.45 ones... My wallet is crying. :'( I plan on fiddling with the optic set up a bit more, so stay tuned!
