Dimitri MdP Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Any source for a not so expensive 104/5 front sight / gas block? Always wanted to made a build like that, but I've found those parts to be ridiculously expensive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Butchered an old CYMA for mine and had to do a lot of repairs rebuilding the sight ears and a huge crack along the barrel (was probably dropped by previous owner). The only other source I can find now is an LCT which are around $60 at Redwolf I think but is steel and comes with the flash hider. There's also one for their AIM at WGC. Same profile and cheaper, but it's bored through so you need to have your outer barrel threaded like on the PMC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted May 3, 2017 Report Share Posted May 3, 2017 VFC AK74 with some real Soviet wooden furniture refinished in the Ukraine in some interesting tiger stripe camouflage. And the other end of the scale.....A SRC AK47S in a very fetching Gold plate. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Once a GHK AK105, spent some time as a Haley Strategic AK, now I'm not quite sure what this is. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted May 30, 2017 Report Share Posted May 30, 2017 Pretty sexual. The dream AK build I've had in my head for years is pretty bloody close to that in a 105 length. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Looking to build similar stuff, particularly just 2 inches from gas block to flash hider, but the front sight with screw clamp is out of stock anywhere within reach, pity.apart from that the base gun would be AKM (for the slick side solid stock receiver) probably zhukov or something else with shortest LOP possible, with MOE handguard and grip topped off with an ultimak gastube Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NonEx Posted June 1, 2017 Report Share Posted June 1, 2017 Fook me that's hawt! Kinda like my WIP WE AK74UN MAGPUl build Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katotaka Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Sounds like you're almost describing Bunny's latest AK. Somewhat close, apart from slick receiver, I think I would keep the top cover slick, too. Then mix that up with barrel and gas system below: Replica of RD style front sight seems impossible to find recently, got an LCT PK-282 as substitute for the moment, also an LCT railed gastube I got years ago that I assume it will fit a GHK...... Aaaaaaaand the barrel, I think I will just cut it short a bit like 2 inches between front sight and flash hider. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh, that's the build I had before I put all the Kreb custom and TWS stuff on. Still haven't done the engraving for the little pink dragonfly Haley Strategic logo, what I found with this is that the RDS is just too far forward for my liking, hence the TWS rail.

Katotaka Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 In fact I dig this config the most, and the RD stock pouch to top it off Unfortunately the LOP is too long for me, especially if I'm wearing any gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 Some nice developments there. Although that one ^^ on this page looks like a nightmare to run, if it was a real weapon. Hand burn city with all that exposed barrel and gas block steel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) It's based on Haley Strategic's Rifle Dynamic AK...lol You can tell he either wears one glove or awkwardly avoids the gas tube with his thumb to not get burned.

Yeah, I don't spend as much time with a rifle as Travis does. (probably no one does). I'm pretty sure without thousands of hours of muscle memory into it you'd be losing a lot of skin!

blobface Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Tiny amount of distortion / magnification, noticeable tint, and the refresh rate of the reticle is somewhat low, so when you move around really quickly, you perceive a trail of the reticles. Can't say more than that as I haven't gamed with it yet, but I suspect it will be perfectly adequate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sigma3 Posted June 7, 2017 Report Share Posted June 7, 2017 Highly recommend the Obzor, if you don't mind having a larger optic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't looked through a PK-23 so I can't comment, but it's only noticeable when you move the gun / sight really quickly, I've seen this effect on other cheaper real steel red dots such as Burris fast fire.
