what kind of issues will i come into when installing these parts?

yes I have that listed lol -.-

Predominantly the AK purists who will be jeering at you, and possibly throwing eggs. :D

I had a minor issue with a KA grip (the FN style one) on a metal body, the pegs were wider apart than on a Marui body (was probably made for the KA body), minor dremeling was required.

Looks like the pistol grip is meant for an AK-74 body, thus you'd have to cut the fake ferrule off the body.

Alright I'll change the pistol grip to a different one lol can you guys recommend me any nice ones?

You mean like this? No issues if your handy. I suggest picking up a cordless drill, some files, bits, extension & screwdriver, a small nuts and bolts pack, Allen keys, blue loktight, tap and dye set, hack saw, sandpaper, black krylon, silicon oil, white lithium grease, brake kleen, toolbox, and table vice. Might not need it all at once but with these tools, almost any mod can be accomplished.

yeep that's a beauty I'd just change that stock to more of a sopmod ak lol! and what kind of scope is that it's beautiful LOL

*cries*

Where is Conscripts signature when you need it.

ya change the stock, and you have a real beauty.

why not just get an M4 if you want it to look like that..

well
 

Great you gone and irritated the Chinese :) WWIII started over dressing up an AK - well done you!

I think a moderized AK looks damn good, very pleased with the way mine turned out, I just put a KA tactical set on it and THATS IT! Any more than that Kalishnikov's (Fixed spelling) ghost will be haunting you...

Mud

who is Kalinikov?

Kalashnikov isn't dead either, as far as the tactical ak's go, yes some people need rails to mount optics etc. but there are better options than those x47 monstrosities out there, you can get a proper scope mount that goes on the side of the receiver and a proper russian optic like a POSP or a Kobra couldn't hurt either.

People think that AK purist's are all about NO RAILS ON AK'S!!! but it really just means staying true to the Russian/Eastern Bloc impression that you are going for on your AK, which means NO ELCANS, NO ACOGS, NO M4 STOCKS and none of that Natofag shit on your gun, that's all

Because really, if you want all those bells and whistles that are typically found on an M4, then ynot buy an M4 to begin with?

It's like when you see these import scene cats with their "Conversions" where they take a civic and do EVERYTHING possible to make it look like an Integra, just foolish in my opinion, why not just buy a fucking Integra to begin with?

Um... Because gucci'ed AKs fit the Middle East PMC look? And some people do want that sort of AK to fit the impression?

Because I love ak's still? if i wanted an m4 i'd get an m4 But i just want a cool black ak! lol and if you think that crap is so bad then shoot the shit out of the tacticalized ak's but other's will still like it. lol

gucci'd ak's? that would be worse than a tacticool ak

Here we go again. Purists attack a HONEST guy with stupid fucking comments about shit he doesn't care about. Seriously. I sometimes weep for the lack of common sense on the interwabs.

xPhuong, if you go ahead with this, I suggest in looking for the following. It's more practical, and much nicer to look at :

Railed gas-tube.
FN Gunner grip, alternatively known as a "saw" grip (as it is found on FN SAWs).
LMT style crane stock (preferably G&P.. I like their plastic).
LASTLY, an aimpoint replica, or real-deal weapon sight.

There you have it. All business AK, with a modernized PMC touch.

Don't let the Purists get ya down. I think they're stuck in Red Dawn, or something.

I was considering an eotech or bushnell real holosight lol and what part in that ak is the gas tube? lol I'll post pics up of what my ak looks like after kos! once it get's here!

please....stop....

alright time to break the code of the purist for ol bowers sorry gents

first off let me get this out of my system

YUCK!:)

alright now down to business in MY personal opinion if i was going to use a collapsable stock i would rather use a 4 position stock then that crane stock as for the RIS theres one made by surefire designed for ak's which in my personal opinion looks alot nicer and in a weird way more AK like (could be just me though)

granted no companys have a clone of this as far as i know and knowing surefire its most likely expensive as FUCK!

to give you an idea about the ris here it is on a tantal AK-74

that EOtech and PEQ would have go for me though just looks way to bulky for my tastes the sight on your "PMC" setup is a aimpoint micro yes? that could work but i think id rather a M68 me thinks

for a Flashlight i dont know probably whatever i can find with the mounting gear for an affordable price and id probably keep that vert grip on your example

if you havent caught on my prefence is geared to a more slimmer less bulky rifle could be the picture but yours looks a touch long for my liking

there playtimes over back to reality

WOOD AND STEEL!!!! NO RAILS!!!:D

I eventually went to the under folding stock, which again presented another modding opportunity. Note the chopped barrel and modded front sight for cqc. Some guys hate the modernized AK but you know what they say about opinions and buttholes. I scrapped it for parts to use in other projects and sold the rest. I grabbing a kraken from shelledpants tomorrow which I plan on going wood with though.

Google "AK railed gastube". You should get isolated pictures.

Anyway, if you need help bud, let me know.

People who tell others not to put things on their guns (accessories, that is, such as certain optics, silencers, rail units, stocks, etc) really need to rethink some stuff. Sure, maybe you don't like that. Maybe you like the realism aspect of an AK with nothing but wood furniture or proper stocks. However, that gives you no right, whatsoever, to shit on somebodys thread who is just asking for some opinions and help with a project. He happens to like the railed look, so what? You probably won't ever see him at a game, so you won't have to worry about seeing his rifle.

Seriously, when you come into a thread like this, either answer the guy and help him out, or point him to someone who can. Do NOT share your opinion that this guy doesn't want to hear, that AK's shouldn't have rails or those stocks, because in your mind, sure they shouldn't have them. But, they make these products, so clearly, some people out there think they should.

And for all those people who love to bash other people who don't make an AK that they deem 100% accurate... Seriously? Is it that big a deal to you? Then that is sad. And if you ever post a pic of any gun that has never, in its exact configuration, seen service, then I hope people shit all over your thread too.

I mean no offence to anyone, but I see people in other threads all of the time saying, hey don't bash him, if he likes it then let him go for it, yet the people who are dead set on these 100% accurate AKs seem to get away with this unchecked.
[/rant]

Sorry to make an irrelevant post, but xPhuong, take their advice. Expect it to need a little bit of slight mods to fit.
And kos, nice AK, I actually kind of like it, and I rarely like AK's.
And bowers, that pic of the AK with the 4pos stock and surefire rail.... Mmmm.. Only AK I've seen that I would actually buy if there were an AS version.

i believe the stock on that rifle is actually a six position but it gets the message across

Yeah I had an error of +-2, so 6 falls into my range of error :P.

Thank you! That's all I'm saying. Don't like it? fuck off. LOOK AT THE THREAD's TITLE. It's clearly not about Spetznaz impressions.

Also, Ujiro, that's not my AK. It's a RS Norinco, or Polytec AK. I wish I had one though :(

Ah, alright. Well, nonetheless, I like it! It is nice.

ok lol! I will necro this thread in a month when I have this stuff modded and installed thanks for your help! and I do like the look of a plain ak it's just cmon it's a kraken make it worth it LOL When i get a realsword which i will! I will keep it plain and simple jeez. And then I'll have my kraken as a show piece becuase i still like tacticalized ak's lol

Do what makes you comfortable. If a RealSword AK with tactical shit makes you happy, and you're comfy with it. Gitter done.

no way i like the tactical look but i'm not upgrading it onto an already 800$ solid gun. LOL that's why i have a kraken for. LOL

good on you buddy :) go with what makes YOU happy!
