Well since my AK got trashed in that little car wreck this summer, I decided this was the opportunity to fix it up into something custom. Now, this particular AEG has already been a fullstock AK, an RPK, and a Beita Spetz. This is it, this rifle is suffering through this last mod and that it, it's staying how it ends up!

What I'm going to be putting together over the next little while is this;

Now they've used an AK47 milled receiver in the model, I'll be taking my CA metal 47 receiver and modding it into something as close as possible to the actual proper receiver for this weapon, the AK74SU;

What I am hoping to accomplish is to strike a balance between all the great authentic details of a realsteel AK74SU, and the BF2 "AK47U". Points will be taken from each, and melded together into something that pays homage to the real weapon while still from an artistic standpoint qualifying as "that cool little ak from bf2".

Or in short, as it's looking now, an AK74SU with beita spetz foregrips haha.

I'll be posting up pics as work progresses. Any comments or ideas are of course always welcome.

Update!

I've managed to secure a guarder ak pistol grip from CONUS;

Hopefully it arrives post haste so it doesn't slow up the reciever fabrication

Update Dec 06 2005

--------------------------------------------------------

As previously mentioned this AK was damaged in a car accident. Part of that was that the flash hider snapped off the spetz front sight assembly, taking the threading with it.

As anyone with a spetz is familiar, the area circled red should have a threaded portion. Well turns out it's not so well designed. First order of business is the repair.

A visit to Rona yeilded a male/male rubber hose adapter, that fits perfect in the barrel. It was cemented in with epoxy putty. Once it set the flash hider was permanently cemented on in the same fashion.

2 hours later and the whole front sight assembly and barrel is solid as a rock, it's never breaking again!

Expecting a guarder pistol grip, as well as an autobolt in the mail soon so fabrication on the reciever should begin in a few days.
