Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 I decided to scrap the AG36 idea with my TM G36K and I'm now looking at a KSK style setup. I've been looking for KSK-style RAS systems but the only one that's accurate is the VFC version. However, I've heard that if you attach the VFC RAS to an AEG G36 there will be a gap between the receiver and the RAS. I can't seem to find any similar RAS systems specifically for AEGs so I'm tempted to buy it and just stick a long rail cover on the back end to kind of hide the gap. Are there any other solutions or RAS systems? Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 There are several KAC's G36K RAS replicas made for TM style AEGs by Classic Army, SRC, ACM ... none are as perfect as the one by VFC, but are passable (espacially after being painted). Some examples: http://begadishop.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=4071http://www.airsoftglobal.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=4061http://www.zerooneairsoft.com/product_info.php?products_id=7172http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/rambo-g36k-alumnium-ras-handguard-for-g36-aeg-m1744-1.htmlhttp://www.ebay.com/itm/CNC-Rail-System-RIS-RAS-for-Airsoft-G36K-G36KV-Marui-CLassic-Army-Echo1-ARES-AEG-/141367987052 Anyways, if you are going for a G36KA1 replica, at least some KSK operators currently prefer to use other handguards (Military police and combat swimmers seem to have less liberty for modifications) You can look here for some inspiration: http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?72275-Germany-s-Elite-Soldiers/page79 Remember to change the long stock for the short G36C version! CYMA makes a nylon fiber TM style clone that is cheap and sturdy. Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 The Rambo one on eHobbyAsia would be perfect if it were in stock. I don't think any of the other sites will ship to Japan though. Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 It's ACM, so you can find it under many names.

Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Plenty of retailers, but no one carries G36 RAS in-stores. The online shops only have the VFC ones and a bunch of other RAS systems that aren't even close to the KSK style. Aliexpress looks good. Hopefully I can find a pre-paid credit card or something so I can buy it. Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Just noticed that the aliexpress link it's actually a front store for airsoftcart (that accepts paypal), so better try first their webshop. Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 Cool. Hopefully I can get Paypal sorted with my Japanese bank without twisting too many arms. Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 Well this is a load of . I can't order anything from outside of Japan because I don't have a credit/debit card and PayPal won't let me transfer funds from my bank Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 In this day and age, how do you survive without a debit card?!How old are you? Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It's called cash. Japan hasn't fully joined the plastic craze. Link to post Share on other sites
ollie_ty Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 That's surprising! Is the problem on Paypal's end or is it a common thing to have trouble connecting the accounts together? Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted August 31, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 It looks like the store wants immediate payment, and apparently PayPal transfers from the bank account take a few days to process, so PayPal keeps asking me for a debit/credit card.

bankz5152 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Get a debit card. Only takes a few minutes here then its posted off arrives in 3 days. Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted September 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 I don't live in the UK..... JP Post Bank does not issue debit cards...... The only two ways I can get plastic here are 1) change banks (pain in the *albatross*) or 2) prepaid Visa. I'm looking into the latter. Link to post Share on other sites
PureSilver Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 The general rule-of-thumb in the West is that all the technology we use was either invented or built in Japan, or invented and built in Japan. I'm really surprised to hear you still rely on cash - I barely use it and haven't done for five to ten years... Link to post Share on other sites
bankz5152 Posted September 17, 2014 Report Share Posted September 17, 2014 Sorry but i really am finding it to believe that a first world country has such a difficulty with getting a debit card. Unless your rather young? Link to post Share on other sites
Revengeful_Lobster Posted September 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2014 You've gotta be kidding me. Yes you can get and use credit cards here, but there are still many stores and restaurants that only accept cash. The primary method of payment for online shopping is and has always been bank transfers. It's rare that you see any Japanese use Paypal, and the ones that do either do eBay or international stores. Most online shops give an option of COD (yes, it still exists) or "conbini-pay," where you go to a little machine at the nearest convenience store, punch in your order number and a phone number, the machine prints out a ticket, you take the ticket to the counter, the clerk scans it and you pay. For online purchases within Japan I don't need a credit/debit card at all. I always use COD or conbini-pay because I have an account with the Japanese Post Office. It was the easiest account to get and my employer recommended it, but my account is flagged as "nonresident" so I can't do wire transfers and I can't get a credit/debit card through them.
