chas Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 Thanks mate! I will be going for the CM040j then and... yes, RD AKs have fixed stocks, it is just a "creative license" This will be a long term project since im leaving behind rifleman role, but those RD AKs look awesome OK. So I looked at my Dboys AKSU and its clear that the GBB versión won't fit: the latch on the right side is way shorter than the hinge on the left side. And, just to confirm, compare the AEG and GBB versions of this kit.

sigma3 Posted February 6, 2015 Report Share Posted February 6, 2015 I have a Hephaestus stock adapter I can sell you. It wouldn't work on my E&L but I think it should work on other AEGs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackofBlades2448 Posted February 7, 2015 Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Very nice, Candydad. Also digging that eunuch'd AIMS.? Again, I'm not sure if you're even talking about the same thing, but Realsword makes only Asian AKs, not Russian. And none of them were ever 5.45mm IIRC, so the whole question of bakelite mags confuses me too. But there are numerous guides on staining your mags to look like bakelite. I've done them and they look acceptable. If that's still not good enough, plenty of hardcore people buy real magazines and modify them to take G&P midcap internals. Gets costly, but if you're that demanding on appearance, there's no other way.As for weathered AKs, you'd probably like some of my older ones. (the "wood" on this one looks way too clean, in retrospect. I should have banged it up more.)(earlier, not very good attempt at fakelite magazine. Of course it's not quite that bright in real life.)My latest one is an ultra-clean perfectly black 2014 FSB Alfa-as-*fruitcage* AK74M, though. Feels weird not to paint it or bang it up in any way. Lol theres sometging about modern black rifles where they look best in great condition; my ICS M4 is boxfresh i dont even like to skirmish with it. Wheras older guns esp aks just dont look right when brand new, odd in fact. Wow, I'm very impressed with all of yours; the upper beat to *suitcase* one has some awesome weathering. About the stock, I think maybe a black wash would work well with the colour, I used this to add shadow and depth to my aks74u "russian red"handguard, but i got the tech from an article about aging wood. Oh, so real sword only produce Chinese stuff? Id still love one, an RS AKMthat is or should I say a type 56; I recently read these are numerically the most likely to be encountered in the real world. I think Ive got a fakelite system down it not perfect by far but I think i gave up on being period perfect a long time ago. I spray them with plasti-dip orange, use acrylic black washes, thin coatsof teak colouredwood varnish myself. Your AK74 does it for me, excellent weathering and wood colour, the scope really does give it that distinctive soviet look; its easier and cheaper to buy a mount an a modern scope, but the pso along with the weathering looks right. Ive recently brough a dragunov with plastic furniture-Im not getting a furniture kit Im just going to spray the coat a nice woodland green (got the idea from far cry 3 of all places).

Isamu Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 Awesome, AZN! Just out of curiosity, which brand is that tactical selector? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznriptide859 Posted February 10, 2015 Report Share Posted February 10, 2015 I think LCT or Dynamic Star. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XON50 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Hey ya'll, I'm in the process of putting together an AK. Bought the gun and most accessories. Only thing left is the stock. I'm interested in the Zenitco stock. Problem is there's 2 versions: lhttp://www.ebairsoft.com/asura-dynamics-tactical-folding-stock-aeggbb-p-8269.html http://www.ebairsoft.com/no13-tactical-folding-stock-p-8307.html Is there a difference between the two? The Asura cost more but I can't tell from any pictures or descriptions if there's any difference. Tried googling as well for an answer. Any input appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 There are at least a few more out there. There's also the TWI (which is probably the highest-quality replica) and I think CORE/ZOT may make one as well. I had not heard of "NO13" before. The answer of which one you should get isn't easy. What AK do you have? Fitment on these stocks can vary a lot from make to make for AEGs, and you should probably expect it to require some modification if you want to preserve your sanity.Personally, with the ruble bottoming out, I would look into options for getting a real Zenit. At this point it might even cost less than the TWI. The problem is finding a place that will ship it outside of Russia, but I'm sure you could work with one of the usual Russian gear guys as an intermediary. But, again – it might take some modification. Also, the part has been discontinued by Zenit, so I have no idea what stock levels are like. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kapitan_jay Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 Not sure if I posted mine before (searching my own posts seemed not to help ^^)So I apologize if this or any of those to come are reposts. So here, as a starter, I go with a good old plain AK74M, spiced up with some goodies. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) I present, Micro AKM (obviously not RS) Overall Length 490mm folded, 680mm deployed. Its for those who needs to be in and out of cars/buildings, insane kick and noise and run predominantly 7.62X39mm Edited February 13, 2015 by 3vi1-D4n 8 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DeltaZero Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) Well I've finally dipped my toes into the AK pool... Quite enjoying it! Polarstar AKS74U (LCT OEM). Added a few bits and bobs to make it like this. Would've preferred to stay away from the SAW grip, but for the wider grip line I needed more space on the base plate for the bigger hole.. It'll stay like this for now till it gets a complete makeover, literally! Edited February 13, 2015 by DeltaZero 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DrAlexanderTobacco Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 No idea what that thing is on the trigger guard, but it's doing things for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 That is a mag well guide thing.. I find it easier to reload with it as I'm used to ARs.. Plus it looks awesome! It came with two plates for each side but I only use the right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So here, as a starter, I go with a good old plain AK74M, spiced up with some goodies. Super nice clean classic rifle. Piled on a very curious assortment of gear and camo, but I like it.

I've certainly seen weirder/dumber looking RS guns. Fairly routinely, actually. People love to do wacky hillbilly AK builds for whatever reason. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Oh, I guess I could post this... it's a pretty terrible photo of my FSB Alfa team AK74M in its near-final configuration. I still need to find a replacement pistol grip that I like, and someday that scout light should probably become a Klesh (for better or worse), but otherwise this is pretty much what I've settled in on.Will take a more official photo with a real camera soon! 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The gear is from our product line (Defender 2 MOLLE diamond, 6B23, Defender 2 MOLLE diagonal, Partizan Harness and Flora dump pouch on a VSR plash) So let's go on with some oldschool.

sigma3 Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 You work for IRT?I know what it is... I meant that it's just a strange mix of old standard-issue stuff, FSB-specific stuff, dig? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kapitan_jay Posted February 13, 2015 Report Share Posted February 13, 2015 Yes, I am with IRT. And you're right, it's a mix of gear in terms of where (Army, FSB etc.) and when it was used. But all got in comont that they are our products and I had them at hand (was doing the product images). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Agent Hunk Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I've been out of the AK game for awhile. Who makes decent 7.62 mid-caps these days? MAG seems out of stock everywhere and the last AR ones I had were pretty terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 I ordered the MAG mid caps from a store here in the UK.. There are quite a few stores in HK that have they im stock too! Not had any issues with them yet. I've heard good things about the G&P but I've not tried them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kapitan_jay Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 MAG are cheap enough to just replace the ones that might give you a hard time. By now, this was for me just 1 out of like 30-40 different MAG magazines (74, AKM and RPK). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 Off to be Cerakoted in Tungsten Grey, never stripped the GHK down to this level, some of the stuff are really hard to remove, let's hope I remember how to put them back together. Finally going to get back on completing this. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted February 14, 2015 Report Share Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) That is really nice! Could you not remove the sling point? Should be a case of just removing the loop and slipping the swivel out I think? Edited February 14, 2015 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
