I honestly don’t know why people are getting hung up on it not being a steel receiver. historically TM never made metal body guns or is it just trib’ism? I don’t mean to offend just wondering. I wouldn’t get too hung up over the externals in 6months there will be various wood/body kits etc. What we should be doing is celebrating a new rif that isn’t another M4 or variation etc 😝😝 (FYI I like m4’s … there is just soooo many off them)

Greetings comrades, and welcome to the TM AKM thread. The glorious AKM has now been reproduced as an airsoft gbbr. This is a highly realistic gbbr (not that I have handled an ak mind), and thus is doesn’t have a bolt lock feature… no after the last bb, you get the dead mans click (hammer falls but no other action), just as our glorious solialist motherland demanded. it also has a highly fiddley dry fire mode … I’ll explained it later. other wise function wise it’s just like a aeg ak. first issue I have found is the humongous gas tube …. It’s longer than a cricket test match! this limits the amount of gas that you can hold in the mag (about 5seconds worth of green gas) but there is a simple solution, just like our enemy Yankee brotheren… cut the tube in half and you vastly increased the amount of dissidents you can send to Stalin per fill (15s fil =70+ semi shots before cool down) highly recommended film :- AK-47 Kalashnikov

akm …. Should probably start a new thread, but being TM it still shares technology etc

Well I cut my gas tubes in half (64mm removed), it now holds a lot more (up from +/- 5s to 15+s) gas semi shot count is also up massively (was 30-40 to 80+Before cooldown/tail off) very happy now 😎

i 3d printed the adapter, and also a front barrel stabiliser (I snapped one, 70% infil petg) FYI I have the armour works drum mag and it fits all mine … I did have to file down the AA flailed mag well mind

Ok so I may be an AAP-01 addict (and I have bits on the way to build another one 🤣)

Just have to refil the mag more often, and might not get all the bb’s out before your out of gas (if your giving it lots of full auto)

Just a quick FYI for new AKM owners … your gunna have to cut down the gas tube …. It’s quite a monster!! 😱😱😱😱

Dodgy derelict I am afraid 🤣

Just picked up this bad boy TM MWS AKM it feels so solid, sounds great, really accurate (only tested on a short range) …. Now too see if it needs a super nub 😎

I got a message back from fire support regarding the g&p m110 barrel nut tool, it doesn’t fit the mk18 rail castle nut 😡😞

Anyone have a g&p xm110 tool? I need to check a few dimensions before I order one, I need to know the internal/external diameters, length and pin/key size. Thanks 😎👍

Could be an old ares l85, iirc they made them around that time. it’s not ics, the foregrip is wrong.

And done .... just need to print a new plastic insert with a taller one 😎

I decided to have a change of approach, to have it made was going to be quite expensive (and lacking a metal 3d printer or a lathe/milling machine, it’s out of my reach) ... so I have come up with an idea to modify a spanner, this is going to involve welding and grinding, but it should be a lot easier to make with the tools I have

stock ..... 😉 also is it the correct size?

Yes mate, but I am wayy past this now .... say hello to version 4 😆 I just need to get it made out of a strong metal (steel or stainless or alloy etc etc) fits very nicely, but being pla it’s not strong enough 😞

First iteration of a rail nut spanner for the TM mk18 (the one with the central cut away is for a peace of 4mm key steel)

If you have the 3 wet cell batteries in there original box, there worth a lot on there own!

Well from my wayyy earlier post, my MG ZT 190 went beyond economic repair (that and £280 road tax and £75 every 3 weeks in fuel) so I got a b6 Passat ..... what a mistake, everything that could fail ... failed and I do mean everything (steering column lock, turbo, even vw dealer failed to tighten cam bolts when I had the belts done, EPB, injector wiring loom etc etc)😡 .... 18months of .... hell😡 so for the past year I now have a 2016 Nissan Leaf .... motoring has never been sooo cheap (£15-£20 a month electric, no road tax etc), no cambelt, no clutch .... just brilliant!

I placed an order with them when they was impulse, I got half the order, they then went bust, opened as impulse101 the next day, then had the stones to email me telling me that I wasn’t going to get the rest of my order ... but I could order it again from them!!!

thanks mate 😎👍

Silly question time! am I correct in saying that I absolutely have to remove the barrel to access the hop unit? and I need the Laylax ngrs barrel nut tool?? (To do it properly.... I am a engineer... correct tool for correct job etc)

My best so far WE L86 started life as a we l85, modified to accept ics l86 rear grip and stock pad. Heavy modified isc l86 barrel, my own design fore support and hop interface bush and locking bush. Lots of other ics l86 bits. My own design ambidextrous mag release (3d printed in stainless steel. All ra-tech trigger internals (except the valve knocker). Reaper customs hpa 900rd electric fed mag. kc-02 kneecapper aka dreadd started life as a asg special teams carbine... added the following rogueworx bits, dreadd kit, hammer, trigger, charging handle, ptfe pin, tool steel bolt catch, stainless steel bolt and piston, genesis kit, and barrel spacers. X22 builders top rail, maple leaf crazy jet barrel, pink flamingo hop rubber, vision king short dot scope. And a fair few other projects still to finish lol
