Robot 2000 Posted March 16, 2005 Report Share Posted March 16, 2005 well, fair enough. If I had the money I'd get the guarder AKs-74u kit (the mgs2 influence is just too much ) but hey I'm not about to spend that much on one gun when I could get a whole russian loadout for the money.

kronic Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Already got the russian loadout... so i got the gun. I'm not one for multipul guns..... and if i don't spend my money on airsoft i'll waste it on alcahol. Link to post Share on other sites
Tripod Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 A full russian loadout only goes for $300. You can get several of them for the price of a gaurder kit. Not going to stop me over the summer. Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hissing_sid, did you mean one of those is on its way to you, or did you just mean the model is on its way to the stores? Link to post Share on other sites
kronic Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Or $600 when you have 2 loadouts.... Link to post Share on other sites
Robot 2000 Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 back on topic, I emailed z1 about these on wednesday: -----Original Message----- From: Tom B [mailto:********@hotmail.com] Sent: 16 March 2005 20:06 To: sales@zerooneairsoft.com Subject: future ICS releases Hello there, I'm sure you know about the upcoming ICS AK74M release (we've all seen the pictures on the web). I'm emailing you to ask if you have any idea when you'll have these in stock on your online store, since you seem to have a "special relationship" with ICS! Thanks Tom -------------------reply---------------------- Hi Tom ! Yes these will be released in April, I have many details on the ICS AK, which we will be releasing on the website very soon, with a pre-order option. ---------------------------------- eeeeeeeeexcellent Link to post Share on other sites

Jedi2155 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 It looks like a sweet gun, and i defintely like the looks. Although I like my ICS M4 RIS looks better..too bad the anti-reversal latch broke after only a few hundred shots... Link to post Share on other sites
Soloman Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 yeah...*give jedi2155 a gold star, for having a starwars related name and avatar* kronic, you goning to make a review on your guarder ak74? I'd really like to see that. Link to post Share on other sites

unimatrix001 Posted March 19, 2005 Report Share Posted March 19, 2005 I will wait for the CA Link to post Share on other sites
Malo Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I'm not particularly impressed with the CA either. The only correct ones are the guarder kits, but they're way overpriced. You can buy three CO2 air rifle AK-74M or AK-105 made from 90% real steel parts, manufactured in the same factory where the real thing is made; Izhmash, for the price of one guarder kit. Or three deactivated real steel AK's from http://www.rusmilitary.com (also made at Izhmash). I've been looking into using one of these as a base for a custom GBB AK, I'm gonna buy a Yunker 2 ( http://www.izhmash.ru/eng/product/yunker2.shtml ) and see how much work it would require. If I'd settle for a NBB it would be pretty simple, as such internals are very self contained: http://www.classicairsoft.net/images/bvunit/index.htm Link to post Share on other sites
unimatrix001 Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 The Yunker-Rifle are nice display rifles, but they're not very useful for shooting due to their crappy precision. Also no real Airsofter want's a 4.5mm CO2 rifle Link to post Share on other sites

kronic Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I have the Base gun to a Junkers rifle.... it's a crappy pistol. Link to post Share on other sites
Don_R_Luigi Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Do you think there will be cheaper wood grips made for the ICS AK74 I'm not particularly impressed with the CA either. The only correct ones are the guarder kits, but they're way overpriced. You can buy three CO2 air rifle AK-74M or AK-105 made from 90% real steel parts, manufactured in the same factory where the real thing is made; Izhmash, for the price of one guarder kit.

If I'd settle for a NBB it would be pretty simple, as such internals are very self contained: http://www.classicairsoft.net/images/bvunit/index.htm P.S would you be able to make a gas system one for the up comingspringer(yuck!) SVD? Link to post Share on other sites
Malo Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 I have the Base gun to a Junkers rifle.... it's a crappy pistol. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's the old Yunker-1, it had the pistolgrip and trigger+triggerguard removed and some standard CO2 pistol was stuffed in there through a whole in the bottom of the receiver. P.S would you be able to make a gas system one for the up comingspringer(yuck!) SVD? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You should try to get your hands on the G&P GBB SVD instead, read this: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/?filnavn=/r...unov_review.htm http://www.unconventional-airsoft.com/information/gp-svd.php Although if you manage to find some old JAC or Asahi gas internals you could most definately convert pretty much any springer with little effort.
