TheKurodaVagrant Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Agreed. Just because we have a wider parts availability now because of the sudden AK fetish the market has taken on doesn't mean we should be any more harsh with criticisms. We can just call the not-quite-there guns custom like everyone else does and move on. lol o yea? you're mom's an astronaut! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And why'd you have to take it so far? ;__; Link to post Share on other sites
-king- Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Nope Front sight looks missshaped to be AKM, Gastube is clearly a 74,Reciver holes by the mag are to big, AKM are smaller, cover might be dunno, have no idea what foregrip is, Pistol grip has wrong shape to be a AKM. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What thread is this?... oh it must be the AK thread Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Im not picky im just telling, you cant call something whats its not. if youre not sure, just say AK or Kalashnikov cus saying AKM you are specific about what Kalashnikov you have. @Hoppum: i mean the front of the gastube, dont know if its classed as the gasstube or got a difrent name but the front where the tube conects is moore rounder cylinder shaped on 74, AKM/47 looks difrent. Hope u know what i mean. 74 http://www.gb-tech.jp/images/AKS74/AKS74GasTubeSmall).jpg AKM http://ultimak.com/AKStockR&R/AKR&RFig8.jpg Link to post Share on other sites

ghost_x3 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 very nice looking gun you have there. is it meant to be an AKM or AK74? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's meant for you to stfu and enjoy the picture Link to post Share on other sites
Batou-san Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 Having been a devoted user of M4s for years, I thought it would be nice to get an AK to go with my Afghan SF look (no, not the the look in the pic ). So.. I went and got myself a CYMA 74 and the action woodkit, as well as MAG midcaps to go with it. As seen in the picture, the wood looks horrible at the moment, and the mags are in dire need of repainting. I scavenged through the forums and the first ~15 and last ~5 pages of this topic for any tips on improving the look of wooden AK furniture, but all I found concerned making plastic wood-imitation look more like wood. Is there somewhere I could look for the kind of How-to described above? Also give me your opinion on which color to paint the mags. P.S If there is a thread instructing to improve wooden furniture already, forgive my inability to search. Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 but anyhoo, maybe it's an AK103 muzzle break, the 103 is 7.62x39 and i think the muzzle break is identical to the 74 in all but size. Link to post Share on other sites

Tyler Durden Posted July 20, 2007 Report Share Posted July 20, 2007 51 Dollars for a grip on a 150 USD AK isnt worth it to me. My next project, an AKMSUN, will get more attention. Still anyone familar with the foldig stock? I need detail pics of it as mine doesnt snap in. Seems that one part is missing. Link to post Share on other sites

You proboly thought you bought AK74 mags but those are AKM bakelite mags wich are for AKM and AK47 The AK74 mags are more straight and not as bendt as the AKM/47 mags.
