my_plague_666 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 where will the battery go? i'm guessing he's doing an AR stock conversion, so the buffer tube. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Drake- Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Its likely a thin lipo in the gastube section, I think my brother runs something similar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Yar, buffer tube. Until I do the mod I'll still use the paper thin stock bolt XD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie00 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Sorry, but that doesn't look so good; Don't get me wrong, seems very well crafted and all, but I rather have an almost-full-travel bolt like LCT than an almost-no-battery-space with full travel bolt. I suppose you could solve that with an AR stock and all. What I really do like about it is the muzzle-break, suit it well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PianoBlack Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 The bolt is important for other reasons and I'm glad both the bolt and AK got to you safely. -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 (edited) looking for ideas here, is there anyway to use the front sight/gas block style gas block(like AK104) on a AKM? What needs to be done? I take it I'll need a shorter outer barrel, will the block work with regular AKM gas tube? Also whats used to pin it in place, it doesn't look like it has any cross pins... http://www.wgcshop.com/wgc2008/main/product_detail1.php?search_From=searchItem&item=LCT-PK-15&search=special&rs=lct&catid=&cat= Also does that flash hider on the LCT version comes off? Edited December 31, 2011 by RacingManiac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkm200901 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 it uses a set screw. you can simply chop the barrel and attach the front sight block. and yes, the fh comes off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I believe just a new outer barrel and new front sight; my 104's front sight is held in by a grub screw, not pins. You should be able to take that flash hider off, it'd be weird if you couldn't. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 I'm in need of a LCT style (held on with set screw) AKM front sight block assembly. Are there any cheap clones of that sort, or do I need to shell out for the LCT to get that functionality? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Its likely a thin lipo in the gastube section, I think my brother runs something similar. surely that wouldnt work seeing as the VFC bolt has the full piston setup and whatnot Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zombie00 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 This may prove relevant to some of the frequents of this thread: http://www.rsregulate.com/products.php So far they only have the 30mm mount available, but more versions are scheduled to come out soon. This might be a more than appealing alternative for mounting optics on aks without hindering balance (yes railed-handguard, I'm talking to you) and it even enables co-witness with the iron sights. Can't see anything wrong about it, the price isn't crazy, but it's a bit steep for an Airsofter like myself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Drake- Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 surely that wouldnt work seeing as the VFC bolt has the full piston setup and whatnot Naa I'm mistaken, from what hes told me he just had a bolt that had been chopped down so it traveled further back =/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DFM56 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Speaking of new products, midwest is going to start selling this is a few weeks. And the long version. I'm pretty pumped, I've been waiting for a modular handguard like this for a long time. No more rail than you need, nice and light, QD sling swivel spots.. Ships with 2x 1" rail and a 3" rail, perfect for a light and VFG. Edited January 1, 2012 by DFM56 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 looks nice, but I still think that an Ultimak and polimer lower handguard serve the same purpose and are much lighter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pkm200901 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 22mm cw. wrong. it's 24mm. only g&g use ~22mm. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Zombie00 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 @pkm200901; My Combat Machine (G&G) is 14mm CCW? G&G combat machines are ak47, so they have the old 14mm thread like the AKM and all the old variations of the ak. From the 74 onwards the Russians started using a bigger thread (24mm). Some Airsoft companies copied that, other didn't and instead of the 24mm they went with 22mm CCW thread like you'd see on a Romanian Ak, G&G is one of those companies and their Ak 103 and 104 comes with said threads.

AH! Thank you! I'm An AR15 man, my Dads the AK user so I barely use it xDDoes have a slight issue with mag fitment that my D-Boys Cyma 104 didnt!

DFM56 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 F-that....lol, that looks like it'll be lighter than the MI one I have.... 12.9 oz with the three rail sections added, 11.3 without. Not that much of a difference, but I'm a fan of the slimmer profile and QD sling points. Saves me money on rail covers and a sling mount. looks nice, but I still think that an Ultimak and polimer lower handguard serve the same purpose and are much lighter Yeah, there really isn't much a difference for airsoft. I like gripping my real steel a bit farther out than I can with the normal handguards, plus the ultimaks get really hot on those! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
