snorkelman Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 was hoping to do a review tonite but just got the thing together so I can take it apart for a review will sort one out tomorrow (saves me taking flash photos too) Dislikes - bolt travel (i dont mind shorter than normal bolt travel but theres barely enough room to access the damn hop, so i can see an inch or two of the rear fot he bolt getting the chop) Battery - just a gnats ######s away from fitting a stick battery down thru the gas tube will investigate that when reviewing. gearbox looks quite impresive at first glance and finish is very nice Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 ok, quick question. I have a VFC aks74un on the way and i was wondering what am best mids? Some people say mag and others say G&P. So can anyone help? Link to post Share on other sites
Hoppum Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 G&P look much nicer than MAG and I've never had any problems with mine. They've generally got a good reputation but some people claim to have had problems with them. Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Out of the five plum G&P mids Ive bought only one had issues (feed kept sticking) oiled it stripped it examined it compared it with one of the good ones couldnt see a single sodding difference/blemish etc eventually gave up and left it to one side, the other four have always been fine Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 well, G&P dont really feel much better than MAG (although they do look a bit better, but their bakelite's colour could still be improved with some red varnish and stuff, plus MAG plum mids dont have the ribs) but MAG feed much better, thy never misfeed, wheras my RS mags with G&P internals missfeed much more frequently. MAG are cheaper, maybe they might at least be a better bet for a first buy considering that i for one can wholeheartedly stand by MAG's reliability, wheras there is quite a lot of variation in people's comments on G&P.

FriendlyFire! Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Quick question guys, do you guys know if RS top covers will fit? Sure airsoft versions are cheap (not realy ) but shipping it from over seas makes it almost double the RS versions. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 on a realsword type 56, yes. on anything else no, the RS T-56 is the only airsoft AK to have a correct length reciever. Link to post Share on other sites

dookieboy Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Noone can help me? :/ Also cant post pics Grim at friends house lol. I am thinking later of buying WAY more, looks DAMN real, then modifying the hop up so it is like a VFC design for takedown, auctually, I think all you would half to do is cut off the hop up tangs for the screws..
