Schultz98 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) I think it will look pretty cool, Can you take some pictures of the battery in your RPK please? I cant right this minute as I am leaving to go to class in about... say 5 minutes but i would be happy to take them once I get back, see the battery just sits ontop of that flat part of the bolt, but ill take pics of it for you later  I do use a 4400mah 7.4 lipo big *albatross* battery I keep in the stock, but I put my 1700mah 7.4 stick in the top so I can swap them out if the battery dies(however unlikely, but I would have to hook the stick into the stock as I dont have it wired to the top) Edited September 7, 2010 by Schultz98 Link to post Share on other sites
huntER_HuntED Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 (edited) Sanded down and refinished the wood with teak oil then added a (Belarus it think?) PK-A, gun is Kalash AKS-74, completely stock atm And yes i know AK47 mags are wrong, but i got this second hand and it came with them And with mags in   For more pics http://s787.photobucket.com/albums/yy153/Hunter_huntED101/Dboys%20Kalash%20AK74/ Edited September 7, 2010 by huntER_HuntED Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMM Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Surely thats going to get in the way of a 9.6v stick battery? Â No the Bolt carrier doesn't - however the gas blocks may be a little to tight for for some stick batteries. My AKMS stripped the heat shrink off a few stick batteries before I gave up and bought 3 lipos Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 7, 2010 Report Share Posted September 7, 2010 Darkmm is right, it would be a tight fit to fit a 9.6, but it WOULD still work, i prefer lipos as they are smaller and pack more voltage AND MAH in such a small package Link to post Share on other sites
torN- Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 (edited) finally its here! my AKS74 came this morning via parcelfarce from FireSupport. I was amazed at the quality when i first opened the box (this is my 3rd VFC, 1st was my HK416 which had internal problems and the 2nd was a VFC AIMS PMC). The wood looks amazing also. Picking it up and holding it was a joy! Test firing it on a 9.6v, it sounds very nice compared to my Cyma. Im finding mags fit very very snug, my cyma mag that came with my ak105 doesnt fit, but i dont care because its a high cap and b i dont use it. My other selection of mags fit very well and the VFC that came with the aks74 is very good quality. Â Test firing was fine everything works, only thing is im not going to be able to test the range on it till i go airsofting again in sept or oct which is a shame . So i wont change the hopup rubber till then. Ive got some Beta 140round mags in the post which i will be using with this aeg and my cyma until i get an LCT conversion kit. Â Â Â According to Firesupport on my invoice the AKS74 is firing at 285fps. Edited September 9, 2010 by torN- Link to post Share on other sites
ELBAR Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 can anyone tell me how good the LCT gearbox are? I'm split on getting either a LCT or a VFC ak aeg Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherJesus Posted September 11, 2010 Report Share Posted September 11, 2010 Post 1550 onwards answers your question. With some discussion afterwards about what gearbox's they come with. I'd say it's pretty safe to assume you'll get an LCT gearbox now, unless you find someone with some old stock. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy8 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 can anyone tell me how good the LCT gearbox are? I'm split on getting either a LCT or a VFC ak aeg    I have 4 vfc's love them to death because of their strength and quality material that they have. In terms of gearbox they have of self shimming system that I am not to fond of but in terms quality of the internals it is really good metal and finish compared to its dboys competitor. Honestly in all the gearboxes and gearbox tolerances in stock airsoft guns it is all a relative term. So ideally I would buy the VFC because it has the best externals with the most realistic tear down and parts. You can't get a AMD-65 by VFC though so it is up to what you are into.  I can't comment on LCT but they have the OLD SCHOOL 6mm boxes and it that retrospect they already *fruitcage*ed up. 6mm gearboxes are a thing of the past. LCT are aesthetic pleasing but the take down is not as realistic as the VFC and it cannot compare. So if you can buy the model you want by VFC than do it. That is my vote  Oh ya and watch out for the ones with the cyma gb  remember airsoft is 90% about looking good   Link to post Share on other sites
Schultz98 Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 Thats not true crazy 8, now LCT uses cloned VFC gearboxes Link to post Share on other sites
AnotherJesus Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 We had this discussion a page ago as well. I'm half tempted to take photo's of my 3 month old LCT gearbox, with LCT markings, horrible gears (not self shimmed) and a 7mm case, with a broken cylinder head nub. But to be honest, that wont make any difference. If you've buying LCT, no one knows what internals you'll get. And personally. I've never had any problems with 6mm gearboxes. It's getting kinda off topic now anyway. This is a picture thread afterall. Link to post Share on other sites

joeshred Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 im trying to build a tacticool rpk  anybody have any experience with this?   do you know if i can change the tube with a magpul one to accomodate this stock?  Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted September 17, 2010 Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 Going on the way the buffer tube is attached to that receiver I'm gonna go with it not being removable. A more likely option if you're set on the PRS would be using an AK/M4 stock adaptor on a normal AK47, there's a couple out there which let you attach the buffer tube of your choice, so the PRS may go on to one of those.

my_plague_666 Posted September 18, 2010 Report Share Posted September 18, 2010 looking at it, the answer would be no. cool idea though, the PRS seems a pretty natural replacement for the RPK club stock Link to post Share on other sites

Dahmer45 Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 i guess I am just old school, but aks and rails for me just do not mix They both have a special place in my heart. You can't beat a good old AKMS with a nice wood kit and metal body. But when I'm fielding a gun, you can bet your *albatross* it'll have rails on it. Link to post Share on other sites
farfromahero Posted September 20, 2010 Report Share Posted September 20, 2010 yea true, everyone has their own taste. i have seen some aks with an eotech mounted on them that didnt look half bad. but i just think the cobra sight looks much better. Link to post Share on other sites
