snorkelman Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) You guys are probably the best to ask about this. How realistic, appearance wise, are the VFC line of AKS74's? Id say as close as you're going to get, within confines of: V3 mechbox making receiver slightly longer than real deal at the rear (ony real sword have tackled that) AEG motor requiring a fatter pistol grip (all of them are stuck with that) Traditional marui AK47 gearbox setting the pistol grip at slightly the wrong angle for a 74 (all bar maruis recently announced 74 are stuck with that) things that could be changed slightly simplified shape to the mag catch lever wood isnt finished or laminated to same extent as the real one cocking handle on aksu bolt carrier could be made the proper shape things buyers probably wouldnt find acceptable on an AEG if they were modified to be closer to the real deal (without folks then going urgh thats a POS lol): a bit too nice a finish on the metalwork no proof or acceptance marks no grindy horrible milling marks and dings on the trunnions you can pull the bolt back with one finger it doesnt smell like a real AK I'll put it this way - with a bit of a ding or two to the paintwork, real grips and a mid cap inside a real mag shell I had difficulty telling mine apart from the deac sitting beside it unless I specifically looked at the pistol grip Edited October 18, 2007 by snorkelman Link to post Share on other sites
dstrctn Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) it doesnt smell like a real AK What like B.O. and metal shavings? Anyways; Thanks man, that was a lot more than I was expecting (in a good way). Looks like a new VFC AKS74 will be arriving at my door shortly.

uscrocks29 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 Iloveics, if it's not too much to ask, can I get a parts list on your milled reciever AK? Link to post Share on other sites

Schultz98 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 looks like you just need to take an rpk with ripped top cover, and somehow put that carry handle and an AIMS folding stock on it!! If you know the name you can search for pics everywhere Link to post Share on other sites
FW200 Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) The one in your picture is an RPKS-74 in 5.45x39 btw From our dear friend Stottman: Here are two different versions. The top was made in 92. The 93 made version features a 4 position selector, a carry handle, flash hider, bakalite upper handguard, scope rail, and some other smaller differences. 1992 Version 1993 Version Edited October 18, 2007 by FW200 Link to post Share on other sites

iloveics Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) Iloveics, if it's not too much to ask, can I get a parts list on your milled reciever AK? No problem. -Its TM based. -With a "landforce AKM wood kit" can be found here http://airsoftglobal.com/product_info.php?...roducts_id=4587 - G&P Metal body and front set. - Guarder ribbed receiver cover - bolt painted black - RS sling Edited October 18, 2007 by iloveics Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted October 18, 2007 Report Share Posted October 18, 2007 (edited) cheers for that. let the sawing and filing commence ok well the parts list should be pretty straight forward: cyma ak74 as the base ACM folding stock ACM rpk front end ACM RPK furniture mod a TM gas block to be the AKM type mod the reciever to have the RPK strengtheners (i have a elements metal receiver which i can use) buy a RS rpk sight probably use a rpk74 flash hider as i have one floating about upgrade with element internals and a 6.04 tightbore. figure out how to fit a large stick battery. oh and i should be able to make the carry handle anyone think of anything else?

Shroomalistic Posted October 20, 2007 Report Share Posted October 20, 2007 Is the silencer real too? Pretty sure thats an element pbs-1. real ones are illegal in the US and to deact one you have to cut it in half if I remember correctly Link to post Share on other sites
