PianoBlack Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I agree that that's the problem, but really unclear on how to get it out or agitate it now, since it's pretty much 100% down in the hole. Only think I can think of is super glue or a magnet to pull it out. Not sure if either would work. Since the pin is spring loaded, if you heat up the part to break the superglue bond, you should be able to lightly tap the pin further down the hole. This should free the pin enough for the spring to eject it forward. -Piano Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Unfortunately this has so far been a no-go. I've tried boiling water, acetone, silicon oil... that pin does not budge even the tiniest little bit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Im going space Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 So i got some money for christmas and my birthday, and a gun model ive been after came up in a sale, so my new marui recoil AKs-74u. Plan to buy a PBS-01 and mod a tracer unit into it, mount a torch onto the suppressor (barrel clamp style) and drop a Kobra on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Silly question, so please, bear with me. I have been using a regular molle dump pouch since forever, it works great for short m4 length magazines, but im now using more and more the AK platform and the longer 5.45 and 7.62 mags are a PITA to store in the dump pouch. I usually drop the M4 mags and they naturally fall horizontally in the pouch while the longuer AK mags stay vertical lying to the sides of the pouch, taking too much space and forcing me to rearange them constantly if I want to fit more than 3 mags in the pouch. So, the question is, what kind of dump pouch do you use for AK mags storage? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 I use a Emdom-MM drum pouch, I think it's still OK to carry like 4 5.45 AK mags, maybe plus 1 or 2 pistol mags. When I fill the dump pouch to that level, I must be having a bad time... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 4 mags? are they hicaps? I usually carry 10 to 13 AK mids to games so I have to reload them as less as possible... im a trigger happy (no auto) guy though... I think these could fit my needs http://www.ebairsoft.com/molle-little-large-dump-pouch-khaki-p-4137.html http://www.ebairsoft.com/dump-pouch-modular-khaki-p-4656.html Both should be around 20cm wide, so a bit of convincing may be enough to fit an AK mag horizontaly. Opinions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Katotaka Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) I know one, but not sure if they would actually ship you... seems that store is in canada. Check your PM Oh BTW, how do you want to attach the mount plate on that receiver? Seems little thin... Edited January 13, 2014 by Katotaka Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted January 13, 2014 Report Share Posted January 13, 2014 I really fell in love with this tiny little AK. I like it a lot more than my RD AK47. The only change is the integrated light mount I made using a Magpul MOE Illumination kit. I think I'd like to add an Magpul STR stock too. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Geri Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 Really nice, but I would prefer the midwest industries rail, that would make the optic a bit lower in the same level of the iron sights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roecar Posted January 14, 2014 Report Share Posted January 14, 2014 I might, but some new laws in CA are making me second guess that decision. Apparently CA SB199 passed requiring ALL airsoft guns be bright florescent colors. Depending how bill fairs on the Governor's desk, I'm probably gonna quit and focus exclusively on realsteel.

nieb15 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) Dang you Senator Kevin De Leon!!!! If it really starts to get enforced I'm buying a few cans of florescent plastidip for when I play on fields. That way it can be taken off easily for display.

DeltaZero Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I'm not so sure about that, I would've thought it would leave some sort of residue no matter how you try to take it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The receiver is actually a good 4-5mm thick. Cast ally by the looks. Anyone used a real kobra and know if they can take a BB impact? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't get mine shot but I sandwiched a small piece of clear plastic ( from parts package ) between the rubber hood and the front of the lens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Be safe, and just make a lexan shield. Its so easy, even with basic tools. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 (edited) Lexan shield is the way to go, a small piece of 3mm thick Lexan is usually easy to find at a hardware store and doesn't cost much, you can use a heavy scissor to cut it, and a file to finish it round. I usually trace the size circle I need, then cut it out with a coping saw, and use a grinding wheel to grind it down to my traced circle. If I need a different shape the same procedure works fine. A Dremel works well also. I also picked up another AK that needed a home. Someone got a hold of one of those SVD conversion kits, but they installed it on a CM.036, instead of on a Marui style underfolder. They hacked the back of the CM.036, drilled a hole in the stock, and put the gas block and front sight from an old Marui or CM.028 on it, and seemed to have used whatever screws were handy. Looks like it went through a few hands after that, then I got it for $60. Should have taken a before picture, the grip and front end were all wrapped in tape, paint was scratched, it looked like a piece of junk. I took it all apart, cleaned it up, repainted the scratched stuff, put in a different tightbore, tuned up and rewired the gearbox, then put it back together with the correct screws and everything shimmed tight. I swapped the SVD style muzzle for the M16 one to reduce the length a bit, and try to make it look less like a fake SVD. The stock had delaminated around the grip so I glued and clamped it, then I did some chiseling and Dremel work to get it to fit a little better. Since it was meant for the underfolder, it'll never fit a CM.036 correctly, but it fits good enough. I gave the stock a coat of Minewax 1-step stain and polyurethane, and now it looks much better. Not bad for $60, a little bit of my time, some spare parts and some Minewax. It shoots about 420 with .2g, but isn't happy with anything under .36g, which is fine. Shoots pretty accurate for what it is, the iron sights are actually just about spot on! Edited January 22, 2014 by DanHS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted January 22, 2014 Report Share Posted January 22, 2014 Dude, that is an awesome SVD-eske gun. Too bad nobody makes short AK mids because it would be an amazing DMR base Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted January 23, 2014 Report Share Posted January 23, 2014 Actually I have a short AK locap, but it doesn't really feed. I like the fullsize mag anyway, I'd rather the gun not look like it's trying to be a Dragunov, now it looks more like PSL furniture installed on a modified AK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
