Description
This started out life as a poorly painted Double Bell AKS-74u with a plastic stock, no handguards, no flash hider and a plastic G36 rail bolted to the dust cover. The gearbox in it originally was terrible, the guy I got it from had tried to "upgrade" it and had completely messed it up.
I used paint stripper to remove the poor paint job, however it worked really well on some parts (And removed all of the paint and induced rust), I quite liked the look of the "post apocalyptic/found in a hut in Afghan" look so ran with it. I've oiled all of the metal to ensure no rust can spread however may need to be checked over time.
I gutted out the gearbox and hop unit and replaced it with a Specna Arms Edge 2.0 AK gearbox and hop unit so there is a basic gate aster inside. The donor gearbox/hop unit was in my Specna 74m which I used bi-weekly for just over a year and it always ran beautifully.
Parts fitted externally are:
LCT PK-197 LCKS74 Steel Triangle Folding Stock
AliExpress Esmarch TQ (Don't actually use it as a TQ please...)
LCT ZB-11 Lower Handguard "Classic"
LCT ZB-19 Upper Handguard "Classic"
Generic wooden AKS-74u upper handguard which had the finish removed and sanded
Cyma DTK 1 Steel flash hider
Original AK sling (No stamp)
Which is over £180 in externals alone
The handguards and stock were painted to match the remnants of the tan paint job showing through to "blend it" together. The black band around the handguard is to stop the top handguard popping off when opening the dust cover to insert a battery, the issue is resolved if you fit the ZB-19 upper handguard
Please note the magazine in the image isn't included, instead a "bakelite" orange E&L magazine will be included instead as this black mag did not fit the replica
It's definitely not the prettiest of AK's, it has some flaws but it works beautifully for what it is.
Priced according to the external parts cost as well as the rough price of the Specna gearbox, the "main gun" itself (The Double Bell krink) is barely factored into the pricing due to the condition and appearance.
Price includes postage, PayPal G&S only please.
