Finally done! Upgraded Ak-47

[Ktown Militia]

Well at first it was simply upgrading my TM AK-47 with a new 6.03 tightbore, shims and bushings. Then it turned out I would add systema V3 cylindder head, systema V3 bearing piston head, and PPA 110 spring! From help from you guys and a local vet, I got er up and running after 2 weeks of wating for parts, and a few mechbox issues that were resolved promptly thanks to Zone 69 !This is my first upgraded gun and what a difference from stock. Im pretty stoked and cant wait to game it. Thanks again to those who helped me get this done.

I havnt been able to chrono it, but I think its somewhere near 380 fps. I have consistent accuracy at 150ft.

Nice to hear and congratz!
Waiting is such a bitch, but when the prject is done, it was worth it huh?
It's always nice to get a helping hand from fellow airsofters.

[Ktown Militia]

totally man, I thought i had the gears shimmed right, and oh fuck it would've been a disaster if Zone didnt step in and teach me. Waiting was the hardest part. I realized im addicted to airsoft.

have a pic or a link to your ak?

i just got done shimming the gears in my kraken. what a bitch
it was makin all that dry grinding noise and then i shimmed the gears and theyre all level and even looking and hardly any play back and forth in the gearbox but they still make that noise

Multi caliber AK.... very cool. lol.

Needs more metal

[Ktown Militia]

LOL, thats one of the next steps. Its seems endless to what you can add. Its draining my pocket.

[Dusti69]

wow i think youre the first person whos ak ive seen that has that type of rail mount on it
i have one for on my ak but i took it off cuz i didnt like it.
always liked the plain black furniture look on the ak's
though..... is that a "made in" logo underneath the selector lever? might wanna get a metal reciever for that
hmm.. now come to think of it have you done any external upgrades at all yet?

[Ktown Militia]

Yah, Im not a big fan on optics for the AK, but having the RDS helps with the aim. I wear a JT camo full coverage mask cuz i got $8,000 done to my teeth so having the RDS makes it easier to aim, instead of the iron sights. But cosmetically I love the look of simple AK. Nice and clean.

who cares what it looks like as long as it shoots good.

open the box again and take a pic as everything flies out. airsoft version of the "brass in the air" shot.

Personally I find external upgrades cost more than the internal upgrades!

[Ktown Militia]

as for external, Ive just Kryloned the faux wood to a satin black. 6 coats. I like it. But wouldnt mind a metal body someday.

remember metal bodies are prohibited up here and thus cost at least double than what they are in the states
