Fin Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Question comrade Fin, have you bought or has anyone bought from http://207.176.137.9/shop/shopdisplayprodu...+Stocks+Foreign ? I saw a few bits I would like. Not yet, my plan was to get the cyma akm first then put the RS wood on that. Unfortunately Christmas has left me poor more info and pics of the sopmod please? Well it looks like a base AKM that he violated Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 (edited) 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.. help with what? the inno being a ghastly design when it comes to assembly and dissasembly? something you just need to work around and put up with Im afraid Been a long time since Ive built any of their kits so I cant remember exact location of all their grub screws (from memory I think theres loads of ones that need to be unscrewed so you can remove parts to reach ones hidden by them?) Idealy if you have access to the barrel locking grubscrews by removing the gas tube that would be the easiest way to strip it (remove gas tube undo the two barrel grub screws unscrew the hop unit screws and draw the whole front end forward including outer barrel? that works on the Real Sword though you need to remove the rear sight and its leaf spring to access them) Whatever you do don't cut the tangs off the barrel, that wont modify it to be like the VFC design that'll just leave you with a free floating hop unit and inner barrel thats got no upwards and downwards rigidity. You could deal with front to back movement by using a packing piece as per the dboys and later VFCs that keeps the hop unit tensioned agaisnt the gearbox. But you'ld still lack the plastic sliding breech block that VFC and dboys mount the hop unit into which prevents upwards and downwards play on the hop (as theres no intenal rails on the inokatsu to secure a block of that type from upwards and downwards movement the way VFC and Dboys do) Without that block you'll have up and down movement in the hop and inner barrel and sideways rotational movement too (say hello to curvy shots) I hate grub screws onto smooth metal surfaces - they only ever pinch the piece their trying to esecure so theres just too much chance of them coming loose or the piece their pressing against rotating or slipping despite their pressure. If they want to stick with that sort of design they'd be far better off recessing each contact point so that the grub screws actually sit slightly into the part their supposed to be securing rather than just biting against it - would also rule out the potential for missalignment if there was a positive 'key' as to where the part should align with the grubscrew) Though why they dont just give up on it and move over to the VFC way of doing it is beyond me - hell even if they just adopted the VFC hop locating method and left he restof the grub screws would be a big step forward - what they gain in slight additional rigidity sticking to the barrel tangs method is more than negated by lack of quick n easy gearbox access Edited December 30, 2007 by snorkelman Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 quick follow up to above, you might be able to get the breech face of the outer barrel milled back a bit further (at least thats doable on the real sword) The tangs would still be there and hop would still screw into them but having milled the breach face back you effectively lengthen the two tangs. That ought to give enough room to let you unscrew the hop unit and slide it along the tangs in order to clear it from the gearbox and nozzle. I'll take a closer look at the real sword layout once Ive got it apart again, if it looks doable I'll stick the outer barrel on the mill and give it a go. Link to post Share on other sites

Shroomalistic Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I wish I could take some good pics of mine, living in Los Angeles makes it hard to be able to take outside for pics. Cops will be banging down my door in no time. Link to post Share on other sites
Souske Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Nice AK Souske. How'd you make that look so metallic? Thanks. After spraying it with gray primer then flat black, I drybrushed it with a combo mix of silver and dark gray. Link to post Share on other sites

supportgunner Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 I have a question for anyone who has experience with AK drum mags. I disassembled the mag that came with my RPK, and sprayed some silicon oil down the feeding tube and on the gears. I also ran some BBs coated in silicon oil through the mag. Now the mag will wind up completely in about 3 seconds, when it had been about 20 before. Did the silicon lube make that much of a difference? Now do I need to be worried about stripping the cheap plastic gears, burning up the thin wiring, burning out the motor etc.? Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 Dam the 56-1 is hot, snigers about bolt Do you think the ics one will fit it? Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 honestly couldnt tell you depends on how the ICS one runs along the receiver is it meant to fit into a groove etc ..though at a pinch even if it did Im not sure folks would be too keen taping the battery onto the side of the reciever Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 I snapped this pic when I was finished stripping paint off my CYMA AK to repaint it and get the gearbox wiring issue sorted out. I thought it looked kinda cool. Almost likethis AK Link to post Share on other sites
dookieboy Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Like this? And then your saying I can take off the rear spring for the site and then I can get to the screws? Edited December 31, 2007 by dookieboy Link to post Share on other sites
snorkelman Posted December 31, 2007 Report Share Posted December 31, 2007 ie mill the red section away so the breech face is a cm or so closer to the front of the rifle than it originally was. That way when hop is unscrewed it can be pushed a cm further forwards than previous alowing the hop to clear the gearbox and nozzle. Only remaining issue then would be is there enough room to tilt the gearbox out with the full length tangs still being there.. I'll check n see tomorrow. removing the rear site and its leaf spring allows access to the barrel locking screws on the real sword but been two years now since I last built an inokatsu 74 so not sure if same would apply on the ino..
