Modernized AK-47
 
This is my tippmann AK-47 I bought around christmas. This gun has been awesome so far (except the battery) so I decided to reward my baby with a few treats.

Before his gifts he wasn't very intimidating and the only other freind he had was this little bunny.

Then after he dyed his hair and painted over his wood too fit in with the kool kids and try and ask a cute little glock out he knows.

After he did this he noticed all the kool kids were in a fad like pokemon but now it was RDSs, He could'nt stand to not fit in especially since his new freind the m4 had one so he had to keep with the times and get a rail system and RDS.

Yea I know shitty story but I had nothing better to describe the epic journey of my AK-47.

JamesBond_007 June 27th, 2007 21:24

I love it. Amazing indeed.

I'm not sure if I'm talking about the story or gun. However, both are excellent. Nice work painting.

Lakonian June 27th, 2007 21:27

kinda looks like an airsoft "Ricer" to me. Not really modernized... more like "built on a budget".

Mitchell12 June 27th, 2007 21:39

Well it's obviousley built on a budget.... Its a tippmann.

Ignore the saftey off on the pics... My bad.

JamesBond_007 June 27th, 2007 21:41

Even if it was built on a budget, it's been through more than my rifle has been through, and it's in better shape. Just incase you were wondering, my rifle is a TM M4A1.

philstructo June 27th, 2007 21:42

thats nice I never thought of painting the grips instead of replacing them

Mitchell12 June 27th, 2007 21:57

Krylon paint. Use it. Love it.

ThunderCactus June 27th, 2007 22:04

modernized? its still an AK-47, its just black lol
does the 30$ red dot do anything for your guns performance?
nice paint job though, looks real even, good job on that

Well I guess your right and yea the red dot works pretty well... not as bright as I'd like but its very useable. I thought about converting to an ak-74 but did'nt really like the looks of it. Could'nt think of any other word the modern, What was I supposed to use 1337itized?

Flash hider eh? I'll look into that.

ColtFarmer June 27th, 2007 23:13

I was expecting an AKM... haha, y'know, A K Modernised

Here you are painting your wood grips black, and i'm trying to find wood ones to replace my black. it's a topsy turvy universe.

Doesn't matter. I've seen echo 1 guns modded to the tits. Nothing "budget" about 'em. It's just knowing what looks "realistic". I mean, how many AK operators have civvy sights?

Point I'm trying to make is, well, it's nice for an AEG, but doesn't look convincing.

Jesseeast June 27th, 2007 23:51

Looks like a firepower a47. Looks exactly like mine.

Civilians with ak's.

Seriousley though I did'nt feel like spending more then my gun is worth on my sights. Honestly the only reason I got that sight is because my front sight kept cracking off every time I breathe on it wrong.

I just wanted a change;) . Though I recomned if you have enough money then to go with real wood. It's expensive but sexy.

Hmm, no. I don't think many RS shooters use sights that lose zero within one, to two shots.

I dunno it seems to hold a zero pretty well after it had an encounter with a tree;)

hahahaha! Well the force of the cartridge is a bit different than the force of a tree! I'm surprised that gun is still in one piece. Seriously.

Jesseeast June 28th, 2007 00:15

How much Fps is she firing at?

Mitchell12 June 28th, 2007 00:37

I'll be sure to let you know as soon as I find a chrono somewhere. You'd be suprised how reliable it is. Someone rolled there ankle at one of our games and I ended up lugging 50+ pounds of gear on the gun over my shoulder because everyone else had to carry the guy.

Jesseeast June 28th, 2007 01:36

Hmm I really do believe it's the same just changed the name of the firepower a47 cause everything is the same and the MADE IN CHINA imprint is in the same spot and everything, is the butt-plate on your ak very loose when you take it off ?

Pardon me for sounding like an ass, but what makes it modern? It's... black... and.... ????

I figured it looked more like something useable now-a-days in combat instead of Child solider #2 in Africa holding it like an rpg.

Not sure what your talking about mine was pretty snug even with the original striped out screws though once I got my own screws it was so much more secure feeling.

Kokanee June 28th, 2007 10:30

cool aeg, but learn to format your pics for posting on a forum, generally no wider than 800 pixels

Mitchell12 June 28th, 2007 11:18

I'll get right on that.

Yay resized goodness!

Yepp, you'll need to buy a G&P Lower receiver ($190) w/AR stock conversion , and a Star "club-foot", or a LMT SOP-MOD stock.

Mitchell12 June 28th, 2007 14:44

I've seen some on real ak's and they have a similar mounting style to mine so perhaps I could get my hands on one of those and then I'd have to put my battery in my fore grip. Or modify an M4 based one... I'll look at an m4 one later at my freinds house that way I can make a judgement call.

If you know how to rewire your mechbox, you can just rewire it to the rear, so you can put a battery bag, or stick a battery in the stock.

Ditto.

Mitchell12 June 28th, 2007 20:11

I felt the same way. It's probably just a fad so I can always undo all of it if I ever stop liking it. But right now I rather pleased with it.

He wanted opinions, he's getting opinions. I fail to see the issue here. :P

fidget June 30th, 2007 14:46

http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b1...2/IMG_0594.jpg




That is a Custom Built Cmag, and hidden in the silencer is a 650mm Tightbore.

Moderate June 30th, 2007 15:45

Mitchell, what kind of mount are you using for the RDS?

swatt13 June 30th, 2007 19:32
