So I splurged on another AK. No surprises there. The build is almost nearing completion.
External parts:
Cyma CM.031 base
Element AK-74 metal body
King Arms metal front end kit
ICS steel ribbed top cover
ICS bolt carrier
ICS trigger guard
MAG AKM bakelite
RS German flip-up AK night sights
RS SKS sling
Internal parts:
ICS gearbox shell
ICS gears
ICS metal bushings
Guarder SP110
The rest is Cyma (including barrel/hop)
Refinishing:
Since this model AK is not blued by the Russians, I decided to keep the stock flat black paint, but since the real one's is fairly glossy, I polished mine to some extent to try to match that look. Came out more authentic then flat black anyway.
Things need to be done/bought/changed/etc:
Some black polymer 7.62 mags
Smooth top, but flared top cover
TM or clone gearbox shell (ICS won't mesh well with TM clone hopup, resulting in 150fps instead of 400)
Element bearing spring guide
Another stock (to replace the broken one), but it's not that important.
On with the pics:
Can't end it without some gay gear pose, I mean c'mon, it IS ASC, ain't it?
Heh, that'd be all for now.
Thanks for lookin'!
Cheers,
Alex
