Sammyc Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi all. Hope you guys don't mind me asking a quick question here. I'm just about to buy a vfc aks74u and I want to know if the MAG ak74 midcaps are compatible with it. I've read that TM mags aren't compatible with it and the MAG description says for TM gun so I have no clue. Anybody had any experience with them in a VFC ak? Apologies if this has been mentioned before. I've had a read of this thread and searched the forums but can't find any info on the subject. Much appreciated guys. Chris <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If i were you just stick with the VFC midcaps, the AKS74u converted me to midcaps and i'm so glad i don't use hi-caps anymore... Link to post Share on other sites
neoptolemus Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Grim, you will find more use out of a PK-A sight than a POSP series; the eye relief on the POSP isn't particularly good, and with an AEG it will just be a prop. A red dot is the way to go, and since the PK-A is based on the structure of the POSP, it will look nice with the wood and fit the older gun look. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Sammyc i'd +1 you for seeing the light christhesecond MAG mids apparently do work in vfc guns, i asked the same question on red alliance. Other than i wanted RS mag shells and MAG ones cant fit in there because the internals dont come out http://www.red-alliance.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=6753 Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 does anyone have a pic of their AKS74u with a PBS-1 silencer? i know its soooo not milsim but i dont give a toss and think the PSB-4 (i think, the one designed for the SU) looks fugly Link to post Share on other sites
gu5t Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 does any one know if its possible to tighten the selector switch becasue mine keeps loosening out of auto and safe. Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 tighten to screw in the middle. you might need to take the cover off first if it has one Link to post Share on other sites
airwolfie Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 does any one know if its possible to tighten the selector switch becasue mine keeps loosening out of auto and safe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> as myplague suggested, usually there is a cover over the screw, jus pop it off. What i then did was undo the screw, stick some blue locktite on it, and screw it back on. job done Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 i was considering loctite, how hard is it to get the selector screw off later on though? Link to post Share on other sites
Hoppum Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 And Hoppum since you know moore than me about ak's does it look ok with a dragunov sight and a PBS-4 on my AIMS? ive seen Inokatsus AIMS had a even bigger scope than the dragunov sight so it wouldent look that bad or would it? LINK to the sight im refering to http://di1.shopping.com/images/di/51/5f/58...100x100-0-0.jpg personally i think it would look bad *albatross* and overkill as a CQB gun XD <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Your gun - your choice, but personally I think the scope would look stupid and the PBS-1 would make the gun needlessly longer and more awkward to use in CQB.

christhesecond Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Thanks for the responses guys. Yeah when I said TM mags I just meant the standard TM 47 mags (not that I'll be using them as that would be gh3y) I'll stick with the MAG midcaps I think. I like the idea of them being single stacked as pretty much every double stacked midcap I've used I've had trouble with. Thanks all it's much appreciated and I'll be sure to post pics of the AKSU when it arrives. Cheers Chris Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Your gun - your choice, but personally I think the scope would look stupid and the PBS-1 would make the gun needlessly longer and more awkward to use in CQB. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ive used a full lenth M14 in CQB and it worked for me and i play pretty agressive, so that wont be much of a trouble and still i can allways fold the stock. But i mean if a RS one had those things would it look ok? I know i wont be using the sight much but it looks cool and thats what airsoft is all about, 90% of it tho XD Link to post Share on other sites
Hoppum Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Only thing I've ever seen mounted on an AIMS is this: It's unlikely you'd ever see POSP mounted on one. Link to post Share on other sites
GRIM! Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 yeah but it would still work and be to use? i mean for distanses and stuff. Im not trying to find a army that uses it since this will be used when i play for my Terror team. Link to post Share on other sites

Donut Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Completely random I know, but did you guys know the AK metal body works really well as a tuning fork? lol I was playing around with it when I noticed that it actually produces a nice ring when hit. Link to post Share on other sites
