Noveske Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Why do the mag well dimples get filled in? The original Mag-K was based off a Saiga which does not have the mag well dimples, so I decided to replicate the details as close as I could. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the roob Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 here's my cyma AK-104. I opted for the 74 compensator instead of the krink style original after I saw Snigel's AK a few pages back. looking forward to beating the heck out of it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted September 21, 2011 Report Share Posted September 21, 2011 A friend just gave me this (my airsofting friends are awesome), now all I need is to find an entire front set for it and I can convert my CM.035 to a stamped steel gun. Kinda disappointed in how cheesy the potmetal stock latch looks, but at least it's better than the whole potmetal receiver. Having trouble finding the front set, saw parts on WGC Shop, but they were all out of stock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crackisbad Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 ^ good luck. I've had pretty much the exact same thing for about 2 years and I still have not found a front set for it. Best bet I think would be buying from the forums off someone parting out their broken/whatever gun Beautiful Mag-Ks here guys! really well done! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DanHS Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 So you're willing to sell it? Lemme send you a PM... I've spent a few hours searching, I can't even find many of the pieces in one place, barrel here, gas block and top cover there, rear sight block somewhere else, it'd cost more to buy and ship from all those places than buying the whole gun! I figured my only bet would be for someone on the forum to happen to have the parts or a broken gun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunburnthammer Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 Nearly there with the modifications Element SAW grip added (as it is sturdier than the CYMA one) CYMA RIS replaces stock upper fore grip CYMA RIS lower fore grip Just waiting on my AK74 flashider to replace the current one.

SteevoLS Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 (edited) Work day tomorrow! Just got an Echo1 Red Star AKM/CM048M. Very impressed with the build quality other than the pot metal front sight. I snapped that of with about 5 pounds of force when I was removing the cleaning rod. :| Got an Egyptian AKM front sight, Polish AKM sling (canvas w/metal hooks on one end), and a few other bits and bobs coming in next week. Only mods the handguards need is a little dremeling to allow the lower handguard pin to lock closed. As of now it is as far back as it can rotate, as the picture shows. The stock just needs to be chopped off nearly flush and have a small portion drilled out to allow the base of the receiver to fit in.

sigma3 Posted September 23, 2011 Report Share Posted September 23, 2011 Looking good. It's probably gonna be a little while before I pick up an AKM to use my pieces on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Thanks! I think this thing will be gorgeous when it is complete. I'm getting very bored with AR variants, so I now have somewhere to focus my free time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 (edited) This is now SteevoLS' AKM Project Progress Thread. The stock and handguards are done. Modifying the stock took about 2 hours with a drill press, chisel, dremel, and a lot of profane silence. It's solid as a rock, though, and feels more like a RealSword than a CYMA. I'm deliberately hiding the front sight and flashhider in these shots because I'm waiting on the surplus Egyptian parts before that looks remotely presentable. The slant brake was badly mangled by Airsoft Atlanta, and the front sight is broken as I mentioned before. Edited September 24, 2011 by SteevoLS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Looks nice! Are you going to weather it to match the wood, and get rid of the Echo-1 and Redstar logos? Edited September 25, 2011 by DanHS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 I'm going to use it for a game or two and carefully observe the wear and tear. If you look at my SPR in the painted weapons thread, you'll see that I don't baby my guns around. If it starts wearing down quickly, I won't do any fake weathering. The E1 logos are laser-engraved, so getting rid of them will be kind of tricky. Even if I paint it, they'll still be visible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheditor Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The Roob how did you achieve that paint scheme? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) I hate those engraved logos, on my cm.035 I just painted over them, they were of course still visible but at least not from more than a couple feet away. I guess if you stripped the receiver to bare metal and sanded them out, you could blue or repaint it. Edited September 25, 2011 by DanHS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the roob Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 The Roob how did you achieve that paint scheme? U-line cardboard box spraypaint - is the tan. it is darker than Krylon tan. started with that, added krylon OD in splotches and krylon Brown in REALLY FAST stripes (the faster you go, the thinner they are) and then blended with a dusting of the U-line spray paint again. I tried to keep the green and brown layers as light and dusty as possible. I stole the U-line paint from work, I imagine you can get it in the U-line catalog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
