Comparison : Kingarms AK47 bodies
 

Normally don't make these kind of threads but i'm just curious.

Looking to make another AK soon, (Might branch it off to make a Zastava M76-esque rifle) and i'm just looking through some essentials. Now, I previously owned an AK which I spiced up with g&p parts, but i'm curious how Kingarms compare. Is the quality/durability of the metal comparable at all or is one 'better' than the other?

Thanks

King arms body are nicer than the G&P (they are nice too) but not as thick so they are a bit lighter their V3 AK/Galil body have a very nice fitting to it so there are no creaks or loose fiitings for their plastic furniture. As for durability I have my KA Galil for almost three years now aside from a few scratches here and there, there are no issues. I'm currently in the lookout for a King Arms AK (the non blowback version) I've handled a friends KA AK and it is one solid AEG with extremely durable mech box it consistenly shoots 382fps out of the box with .20bbs

I heard G&P receivers are pot metal but higher grade then what you'll find on CYMA esque guns or Element receivers but they come with the stock tang built in. The Kings arm receivers are advertised as 6065 Aluminum and my buddy that has the kings arm AK receiver says it's very solid. I assume you are going to use the JG style SVD stock they don't require stock tangs to mount to the receiver to me knowledge Let me know how the build goes I'm tempted to build one too after I finish with my RPK project.
