Breaking news on the AK front
 

Just saw this on another forum
Gb-Tech AKS-74U Conversion kit
http://www.gb-tech.com.tw/images/New...4UN_Post_1.jpg

Reported to be all steel, and hopefully will be priced much nicer then the Guarder edition.
Hooray comrades!

ANOTHER friggin Kalashnikov! Pfft.

I really hope it has a decent price, anything over 400$ is freakin overpaying. I just don't get why most conversion kits actually cost more then the gun itself, I bet companies are making a 1000% profit margin off these if you consider they are just wood and metal. Interesting find nonetheless.

ya that is nice, but i think i will wait for the rumored SRC AK74U and gut it :D

I wonder what that N in AKS74UN stands for.

an ak74su recieved a "N" designator when it came fitted standard with the siderail for optics.

That GBTech pic is a bit dark but it looks like it has the side-folder folding to the wrong side....it would interfere with the installation of the side-mounted scope mount.

GB-Tech stuff is expensive. I've bought a lot of their products (which are pretty damn good) but the price tag hurts. My M60 outer barrel with gas tube, front sight, carry handle and flash hider was near $500 CAD.

By the looks of it, that hinge you see is actually the sling loop.

gb-tech is the japanese branch, vfc is the taiwanese branch. odds are it'll be quite well priced, not that it has to be if it's competing with the guarder kit :P.

A 74 with a fullstock?

No thanks, I think ill pass on this one. I just wait till a company releases a good priced AK-74SU.

The N stands for night vision (a NSPU night vision sight comes standard)

That kit looks friggin sweet, finally the Kalashnikov airsoft series are really starting to expand :-D

Cheers,

Good find Gish!

In the meantime I am still going to try and build myself one anyways, unfortunately without a proper conversion kit all I think I can do is make something that's "nice from far, far from nice".
