lovecraft25 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 The MPiKMS-72 was build upon a Cyma AK74 (very few parts remain), combined with : - King Arms AK74 metal full set - Real Steel furnitures (lower handguard + gas tube + upper handguard) - Inokatsu AKM gas chamber + frontsight + lower handguard retainer - Core Unit DDR folding stock ...and my favorite tool : a Dremel Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 My DBoyi AKS74 Stage II Thanks for the idea for the vented handguard GRIM! I love DBoyi because the real-steel handguard and gas tube required absolutely NO modding and slipped right on the weapon- On my CYMA I would have had to dremel and file and hack it up to get it to fit Slainte!

VFC>Inokatsu except when it comes to furniture I agree, on pictures it looked good to me, but now that I own a VFC AKS I must say it looks like plastic furniture. That's why I swapped it for a RS one The furniture on the new AIMS looks decent though, seems like they've seen the problem. Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Where do you put the battery now?

mightyjebus Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Guiness, What camera are you using to take the pictures? the quality is excellent. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 sorry guiness, but im not keen on that. maybe its because you havent worked your magic on the gun yet, or it would probably look better if you refinished the vented handguard to match the matte finnish of the rest of the gun. i would say blue the whole gun to match, but AK74s were never blued to my knowledge and it just wouldnt look right IMO. and someone send that man a RS plum or bakelite mag for photography purposes and frxharry, the battery will still go under the top cover and in the gas tube. not sure if the full length 74s have full gas tubes or just half ones like on my AKSU, but if its a half gas tube guinness can still always use a bit of black electrical tape to help reduce the battery visibility Link to post Share on other sites

GRIM! Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 So you finally got youre Vented upper on Looks great, get some nice RS lowerhandguard for it aswell Link to post Share on other sites
Guinness Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) Guiness, What camera are you using to take the pictures? the quality is excellent. Thank you sir! I soldier on with an old Nikon D100 and a Tamron 17-50 2.8 And Puding, I bought the vented handguard from a place here in the states called "Blackjack Buffers" http://www.blackjackbuffers.com/ I'm not sure if they will ship internationally or not- let me know if you want one and perhaps I can help- My Plague- Agreed, at first I was thinking maybe keeping her stock because well I think she is pretty that way too- but then I thought "What the hell am I thinking??" so we'll see how she looks after I 'process-ize' her TBH though, I'm kinda digging the light shade of the vented- To me it looks like what will happen as that part gets heated from use. Cheers to everyone for your kind comments! Slainte! Edited December 9, 2007 by Guinness Link to post Share on other sites
Puding Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 thank you for the link unfortunately they do not ship international, if i can not find one anywhere else i may give you a pm Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 i think if you lightly weather the whole lot, get a RS lower handguard, inokatsu pistol grip, refinish the upper handguard to match the AK finish and weather/refinish parts of it to try to emulate the sort of heating effect you also mentioned, while trying to keep it looking like it was meant to be there. might be cool to dirty up a russian tourniquet and wrap that round the stock, afghanistan style. that whole setup would certainly give the more 'personalised' custom afghan era gunsmith look to it.

EvilCookie Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Where are you guys finding real steel AK74 wood handguards anyways? The only place I can find them at is tantal and rusmilitary and they both want about $100 for them which is pretty steep for just some wood handguards if you ask me. Anywhere else cheaper?

EmptyChambers Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Uh oh. Incorrect AK variants. *puts on flame retardant suit* Cheap/poor man's AK74. I know the wood is wrong, but I've been having a hard time sourcing both AK74 wood and metal body. Any idea where to get them in the Marui form? Also you can see the WIP for an AK104. I know the gas tube is off, as is the retainer and length but meh. Made it out of spare parts so I can't be too picky. Naturally I've got the matching polymers to go with it. Thoughts? Comments? Hate? Link to post Share on other sites

Body: http://www.rsov.com/product_info.php?products_id=613 and looking at the wood all the usual sources seems to be out of stock other than http://www.airsoftscotland.com/cgi-bin/sh0...11354#a1_211354 which is expensive Link to post Share on other sites
EmptyChambers Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 I had looked at the Element, and the amount of work they seem to take is a bit irritating. My dremel isn't particularly good. It had enough trouble just modifying the hand guard and retaining collars to accept them. I remember a King arms being talked about somewhere, but can't find any record of it... Link to post Share on other sites
Belladonna Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Just wondering if you guys know what the average fps are on new CYMA aks....?
