Had to clean the hop rubber in my CM.028u. The lad got a bit liberal with the silicone oil...
Bloody palaver compared to an M4, managed to crack the housing round the tiny screw that holds the underside of the battery compartment/dust cover holder/slide. Only needed a washer to make good, and probably could have got away without using one but still.
The wires are so damn short that the fuse holder sits under the cover too. Couldn't be arsed to get the soldering iron out, and no thin wire sitting bout anyway.
Not a lazy man's rifle.
Namsoft next weekend and the AKs have to be in prime nick. Dụ má mày yankee!

yeah ak's can be fun to work with depending on how they're setup.
you get used to it though, whilst barrel access aint as good at least you don't have to have half the externals dissassembled just to get to the gearbox.

Very true, the pinned models are very handy to work with. The CYMA uses cheaper screws, and for a sub £100 rifle its astounding. Pays your money etc...
I think that they make a good base for custom builds too.
I do have a habit of shedding mags though; I think due to using a mag grip equipped M4 a lot more. I must catch the release with my (gloved) thumb tip.

the jg's/cyma's in the ak world are good shooters, bit of tinkering and they'll deliver the goods no bother when it comes to the fundamental task of slinging plastic downrange.
generally with the likes of the lct's/e&l's what you're paying for is the exterior quality.
