LCT versus E&L in terms of a ‘gucci’ AKS74U? I’ve gathered together all the pieces to upgrade the internals and throw some repro Zenitco parts on a Krink, the original plan being a relatively budget build using a Cyma (which ended up not being so budget). However, I’ve just had an unexpected bonus from work so I’m toying with upgrading the repro Zenitco parts to RS ones and jumping up from the Cyma to either an E&L or an LCT.
I’ll caveat that the most important element is probably how well either/or plays ball with real Zenitco parts, I’m expecting some fitting/fettling to be needed, but having no slop is ideal. Given I already have a pile of internal parts to hand for swapping out anything that warrants it I’m generally slightly less arsed about work needing to be done in that department.
Thanks in advance!

It's also just different elements of modifcation versus what I'm used to. Fettling a barrel nut or the like to get everything sitting flush on an AR is just a less daunting prospect versus taking a lump off the back end of rail and filling out a bit of outer barrel to get the latch working right. Largely because a barrel nut is generally going to be cheaper to replace than an entirely new handguard or outer barrel if you entirely botch it.
In other news, my first order from Zenitco arrived this morning, so that all went fairly smoothly. More than happy to order from there again for the handguard itself (and anything else that takes my fancy).
