Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - My somewhat close to completion AKM (56k Beware!)

So I've been looking for parts for this build for a while. With Canada being a pretty limited market for cheap or rare parts, I didn't (or atleast not yet) build an accurate AKM, but I love it to death either way.

I know its not accurate at all. I can fill a book with all the things that are wrong. Yet, overall its almost there. The only things that are on my must have list are the ribbed top cover (anyone? been looking for a long while), AK-74/AKM styled safety lever, and to custom install an ICS bolt carrier perhaps. Maybe someday I'll come across a cheap AKM style front sight, or gas tube and port...

This thing is pretty much an AK-47-AKM-AK-74 hybrid, focused on AKM.

Some parts need to be painted. The bakelite mags need to be more reddish orange, and so does the pistol grip, and top cover needs to be repainted (I fail at spraypaint, its needs to be replaced with a different cover anyway).

Anyways, here it is!

High-Res

Picked up a couple sets of mags and a PBS-1

High-Res

The last addition to the gun was a King Arms stamped style (unlike everyone elses milled AK-47 type) receiver set (with pistol grip) that came from Jugglez this morning. Awesome build quality, but took a while to fit.

Flash ruined these pics - Wood kit.

For those who prefer that semi auto silent assault kinda thing:

Its a classic!

High-Res

Parts list:

TM AK-47 shell
TM AK hopup/barrel
Cyma CM02 gearbox (this thing owns.)
King arms AK-74 metal body with black grip
Chinese AK-74 wood kit
Various metal mags (CA, TM, G&P, etc)
MAG brand AKM mags
Custom made PBS-1 silencer
Some sort of AKM slanted muzzle brake

Price for the entire load out with everything (including mags, pouch, and PBS-1) - less then a stock TM AK. The most expensive thing on the list was the metal body. Was my only option at the time of purchase.

Comments welcome!
Cheers,
Alex
