Noveske Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 The GHK selector removes relatively easily, if not at all alike with RS....You unscrew the pivet(I did it with a slip-jaw plier, which is why its kinda marred), then the selector just comes off. Its keyed on the actual internal bits itself. I just took the tab, marked the holes with the punch on the selector, took it to a drill press a work and drilled the holes. The Rivet just needs to be hammered on from behind. You really should do it on a copper block or something softer than a steel vise, which is why my rivet heads are also flattened and discolored..... RM, why didn't the LCT selector fit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 That thing on the back of the selector plate which is welded on the selector itself, the GHK does not use that, I think its keyed to go into the gearbox on the AEG. It looks like the selector itself came from the same tooling, as the key on the plate itself seems to be the same, but that "shaft" is welded onto the selector, and you have to cut it off, then somehow re-key it for the GHK bits...I don't think its impossible, but not worth the effort....

Ah I see.. man that suks. AEG, GBBR and RS are all different. Can't we all just get along? LOL. I'm less and less inclined to build a GBBR Mag-K now. Props on the effort for tacking on the extended safety tab though. Any plans to mod the mag to use the Bulgarian style waffle mags? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Not at the moment, tackling other issues first in converting the front gas block to a version with sight post.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) A bit of a teaser....need to go home to see if everything goes back together properly, and to wait for the proper length tight bore to show up...

slu Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Very nice! It looks like the cut-off and the diameter reduction was done on lathe? Was the threading turned on the lathe or did you use a die? EDIT: Nevermind, just saw your post on GGI. That came out pretty clean for a die, but since you already have lathe access, I'd have turned the thread, especially if the lathe was CNC. Is this your steel barrel or the stock aluminum one?

RacingManiac Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 Steel barrel from Samoon....its just an old lathe at work, die was much easier to use...the good news is tightbore was sitting at my door so I am in the process of assembing it now... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think this came out alright.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EscapeArtist Posted January 17, 2012 Report Share Posted January 17, 2012 CYMA also has a 14mm threaded barrel and a 24mm adapter. Saw this was talked about for a few different guns, I have a dboys RK08 and from what I can tell there's no such adapter on it sadly... Anyone know a suppressor/adapter solution for that? I might just custom build a can for it... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noveske Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I think this came out alright.... Good job! Dynamics FSP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RacingManiac Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 (edited) Its the same one that Rifle Dynamics uses, OEMed by Venom Tactical....Going that route instead of the LCT or RS AK104-style gas block offers a few advantage, I don't have to deal with pinning it at the right place, and I can use whatever thread I want instead of what comes with the gas front sight gas block......

WhiteHawksan Posted January 19, 2012 Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 Do any of the china-clone AK's feature a Steel underfolder? Or do the standard CYMA/Kalash 'full metal' underfolders stand up to skirmishing abuse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or do the standard CYMA/Kalash 'full metal' underfolders stand up to skirmishing abuse? i thought kalash did a full steel AKMS at one point? might be wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kalashnikov_kid Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 Yep, they do. Just handed one back to the owner and it was all steel bar the barrel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie00 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 Say, I was wondering what was the general consensus over single point slings on shortened carbine length Aks (102/4/5). Any brand to suggest, how well/wrong does it work, etc. And was also wanting to know how wrong would it be to putted a ribbed top cover on one of those aks, I mean realism-wise.

neoptolemus Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 The factory doesn't give the AK-105/104 to the military with a ribbed cover on it. You would have to make that an aesthetic rather than realistic choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 would it be that unfeasible for an old ribbed cover to be fitted in the place of a damaged smooth one? i know there's plenty of photos of AKs with half wood, half polymer furniture. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've seen plenty of pictures of russian military personal with 'franken-ak's' as long as it is MECHANICALLY feasible in RS, chances are there's a soldier out there with one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
