DFM56 Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 (edited) Thanks guys! My father and I made the adapter on the bridgeport and CNC lathe at work. I might draw up a plan to get a single piece unit made (although the two piece unit I have is perfectly fine) by CNC or casting. best part is I could go right to my boss and get a quote if I end up doing that, although it would be expensive for such a small run. The only problem with my adapter is that the hole for the hinge pin was drilled in the wrong spot, so I'm going to end up just friction fitting a smaller pin after I attach the adapter with quicksteel or something similar. It won't be able to fold, but I would have no way to lock it so it doesn't really bother me. Buffer tube is held on by the grub screw on the bottom of the adapter. One I have time to get it at the perfect angle, I'll set it with loctite and grind the rest of the screw away. Also, call me crazy, but I really like how it looks now, so I might not even paint the adapter.. Edited August 12, 2010 by DFM56 Link to post Share on other sites
Reincarnation... Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Darn, that looks nice. Definitely paint or anodize that piece though. Link to post Share on other sites
snipe Posted August 13, 2010 Report Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) Heres my AK so far. Chopped down the outer barrel, and added a Beta spetz front sight, swapped the lower from a solid stock to this side folder,(waiting on an underfolder to show up monday) Slant flash hider is also on the way.

WL-Matt Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 Please move these to the Magpul thread! they burn my eyes! But seriously, I do like the custom adapter, exceptional work even though I hate it on an AK. Link to post Share on other sites
sowi Posted August 14, 2010 Report Share Posted August 14, 2010 you'll need an m4 GBBR gas tube(or RS) and a piece of metal tube with thread inside(use a thread-cutter or a turn bench), you'll have to sacrifice a skeleton stock, cut the stock down like this: and use a welder to fix the piece of tube to the stock, enjoy Link to post Share on other sites

Fellowz Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 what welder did you use for the body? mig, tig or arc? or was it acetylene? i have removed the rear plate on my CYMA body in order to do something similar i need to know the best way of welding a new plate back on Link to post Share on other sites
sowi Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 I used arc, but be careful with the cyma bodies, they are made of steel but the end of the receiver contains pot metal (I mean the mechanism of the stock) Link to post Share on other sites
navymp28 Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) Does the JG Advanced RIS AK (Krebs replica) top cover work on an Echo 1 AK74UN? I am looking to do a build based on a few illustrations for a comic book proposal I have been working on for a few months. I need some better props for reference for the Spetznaz in the story. Thanks for any help on this and if there is any tricked out AK74's you have seen with a fully railed top cover that would be cool too.

sowi Posted August 15, 2010 Report Share Posted August 15, 2010 (edited) sorry, I don't know the exact size cause I used a SIG556 buffer tube and the thread size is different from the common m4 GBBR gas tubes and a buddy of mine made the thread with his turn-bench Edited August 15, 2010 by sowi Link to post Share on other sites
