mightyjebus Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Nice R4 Pan. Did the stock fit straight on or did you have to mod it a bit to fit? nice to see something other than a Tacticool AK on here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Pretty much straight on, just a wee nibble here and there with a file to make it sit straight along the axis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
huntER_HuntED Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Although the galil's not a personal favourite of mine, I think that looks great mate! Good job and a very intresting project! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DanHS Posted April 28, 2012 Report Share Posted April 28, 2012 (edited) Nice R4. I'm not sure how I feel about Galils, I have been temped by the GR-02 kit on Gunner airsoft though. And here's an update for my CM.028, decided to change the handguards, the plastic fake wood ones just look so, fake... Romanian upper handguard, CYMA tacticool lower handguard, with fakepul AFG (trimmed to fit all the way on the handguard). I'm almost tempted to put one of the rails back on to attach a flashlight, not really sure how much I would actually use it. I do really like the way it looks and feels now though.

Andyjp Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sweet christ Panoptes, nicely done with the R4! I'm hoping you've got a full SADF kit to match? How hard was it to mod the RS stock and foregrip on there though? Also, where did you find the RS R4 parts? Any plans to mod any mags? Looking great though. Very nicely done. Best, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sweet christ Panoptes, nicely done with the R4! I'm hoping you've got a full SADF kit to match? Sorry, no - I don't do loadouts or 'impressions'. How hard was it to mod the RS stock and foregrip on there though? I had to file a little here and there but the fit was pretty decent. Ther's no wobble at all (unlike the handguards on a stock ICS Galil!). Also, where did you find the RS R4 parts? I (virtually) went to SA and just asked around. Any plans to mod any mags? In time, yes. Looking great though. Very nicely done. Cheers. While I'm here, do you recall the FPS of the folding stock FAL you recently sold (which is now in my posession?).

scorch Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Sorry, no - I don't do loadouts or 'impressions'. Just out of interest, because you have rifles that are 100% legit I have to ask. If you don't do impressions or authentic loadouts, what do you skirmish in? I'm by no means saying you should or shouldn't, I'm just wondering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Panoptes Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Usually just DPM tropical trousers with either a fleece or SAS windproof smock. Quite often I simply can't be arrsed and just wear civvies (but the gun's gotta be perfick! ). These with a multicam Warrior RICAS and job done. I just find dressing as a 'particular' soldier (considering I am one) all a bit silly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 Fair enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supervepr Posted April 30, 2012 Report Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I am feeling that handguard. I was kind of curious of how that would look. People go on and on about m4s but Kalashes are where its at :-) I also saw the letters FAL and smiled Edited April 30, 2012 by supervepr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zmarre Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 (edited) I see the letters FAL and raise you my AK on a bed of Rhodesian camouflage (I just wish I had the FAL to go with it!) Edited May 2, 2012 by Zmarre Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Zombie00 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 (edited) I just wish there was a decent version of the Fal, they all seem to fail at some (many?) aspects. Awesome camo Zmarre, I don't see that pattern very often, kind of an oddity. The whole picture looks very good too. Edited May 4, 2012 by Zombie00 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
supervepr Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) I had a RS FAL once and I loved it. I wish she was still mine but we parted on bad terms:-) I would grab another or AS version in a heartbeat if the were related to DSArms. Your pic is awesome, btw:-) Edited May 4, 2012 by supervepr Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your pic is awesome, btw:-) I have the CA DSArms SA-58 OSW, awesome gun, only needed to replace the nozzle and re-shim and it's been golden, great trades and very solid build.

Leon Kennedy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) My current AK refinish and build. Comments, please. Edited May 9, 2012 by Leon Kennedy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) Does your rear sight blade wobble like the dickens? It's a problem I've had with every gun that uses a pot metal rear sight block, and I've never come up with a permanent solution. Edited May 9, 2012 by SteevoLS Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Leon Kennedy Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Honestly, not any more because I bent the little leaf spring under it and installed it gently so it no longer moves. Hasn't moved since early March through plenty of adjustment and games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Atsalakotos Posted May 11, 2012 Report Share Posted May 11, 2012 Question: Are those very cool looking Bolton Gas blocks made in the US? If yes, are they exportable? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SteevoLS Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 They are American made, but as to export... not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kamigawa Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I really wish AK receivers without side rails were easy to aquire. It frustrates me to think about how easy it is for Dboys to not drill those horrible holes in the receiver... I just want my AKS-74UN to look good, and that involves removing that "N" from it Can we sign a petition or something like that? Ranting aside, I will soon post a picture of my AK, so that I too actually contribute. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
