snorkelman Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) so......snorkleman, after you tightened things up, is the stock stiffer? edit: don't know what I was thinking... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I stripped it all down and rebuilt it last night: bent receiver cover into shape at the bulgedpoint, tightened all the screws on reassembly etc so its nice and solid feeling now. The stock however took a little more work than just tightening things Stock retaining mechanism has the usual hook shaped latch that traps a plate on the stock between it and the rear of the receiver when stock is in use. The hook shaped part needs bent in a little (or rear of the receiver needs a little bit of metal padding material) so that the plate on the stock sandwiched between the two has no play (as it was out the box there was a mm or two fo a gap there allowign the stock to rattle). I opted to take the latch mechanism out stuck a bit of heat on it with a torch (its cast steel) trapped the hooked part in a vice and pinched it up till the hook bent inwards just a teeny bit to eat up most of theat mm or two of gap. after that popped it all back together and all side to side play when stock is locked open is gone. All thats still left to do is pop a small washer in between the hinge holes in the stock and the hinge points in the receiver so that most of the mm or so of up and down play in that area gets shimmed out too. you can take the stock off to sort that 'up and down play' issue with gun still fully assembled (just drive out the hinge pin) but to do the mod I made to the retaining latch you'ld have to strip the guts out the gun to reach it Instead you'ld probably better just getting a small rectangular 1mm thick piece of steel cut to fit the rear of the receiver and bond that into place while the stock is off the gun or in the folded over position. (then whenever you open the stock in future the stock will be jammed snuggly in between that metal plate and the hinged hook without having to bend the hook inwards at all) JB weld or sommit like that will be more than up to the job of holding it in place.

The Taurus Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 (edited) Should have used a different sight, but I'm liking this one so far: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I reckon that sight looks pretty nice on an Ak, so what is it?

iloveics Posted September 13, 2007 Report Share Posted September 13, 2007 Taurus, is that the G&P metal body on your ak? you say that pistol grip is comfortable, it looks a tad chunky for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites

thegunrunner Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 More of the AK-74M, called AK103 by Inokatsu. The red dot is a PK-23 pulsing dot. I will probably be using a POSP with this toy rifle, a PK-AS with the incoming AK104, and a Kobra with the AKS74U. This sight will eventually go on the planned contractor AK. I couldn't decide which one I liked more, so I post both. Link to post Share on other sites
newbkiller Posted September 14, 2007 Report Share Posted September 14, 2007 nothing special, just another cyma ak-74 with painted bolt and flash hider. Link to post Share on other sites

evansy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Can any AK-74 owners help me out Is this how the cleaning rod thingy should sit when its in the gun? Or should it sit farer back? Link to post Share on other sites
HKG36 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) As long as the cleaning rod is before the little grub screw it should be fine Edited September 15, 2007 by HKG36 Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 As long as the cleaning rod is before you the little grub screw it should be fine <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks, I was just a little puzzled as it just didnt seem right at is was but if thats how it goes so be it.

my_plague_666 Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 i wasnt saying he's using the wrong mags, he made it sound like he thought AK103 was a fake name (like RK103) and i was just letting him know that the AK103 does actually exist, it looks identical and is just chambered for a different round. and as i said, he's not using the wrong mag if he wants an AK74M.

mightyjebus Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) Well here's my latest creation. It's a Romanian AK74. It's based on a CYMA AK74 plus a few cheapsoft bits. hope you like it Here's the RS for comparison. Edited September 15, 2007 by mightyjebus Link to post Share on other sites

mightyjebus Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) It only took 2 hours to make. I still have 2 things i want to do which is either dye or paint the pistol grip a better colour and mod the fake bolt a little bit more. The parts list to make it is: CYMA AK74, element metal receiver, ACM romanian stock, ACM romanian wood front set. I have a tightbore barrel and gearset to go in aswell. I'm still trying to figure out how to make the pistol grip to look like this: Edited September 15, 2007 by mightyjebus Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 (edited) Wow awsome Mightyjebus, ive had that idea for a while but never had time or money to buy a 74 flashhider n stuff, but i think a bakelite mag would look cooler, also a AKM/AK47 gasblock would fit better, but good job like the bolt My M8 finally finished my Realsteel converted to airsoft drummagazine for me, so now its pretty much the 44 minutes gun^^ It got CA M249 magazine internals and works really great just played with it yesterday Heres some pix of it along with my Inokatsu AIMS, pretty fun with RS parts, for now i got RS romanian sidefolding stock and drummagazine but i will order RS romanian vertical grip next payday too, goto keep my gun PIMP!
