Didn't say that though, did you?

Buddy of mine has one though if you're after pics of specific parts?

Yeah fair enough, didn't expect people to think that I hadn't already checked google, and I will be buying it brand new and build accessories and the loadout

 
Bit of dry brushing with Metal Cote on my plastic AEG AKS-74U to make it look more realistic:

I smeared some really sticky mud on mine and wiped it off with a wet rug. Now the dry mud is in every little corner and dent and looks awesome. :)

Show us then! :)

mine is brown spraypaint... and general dirt since that pic.

 
Theoretically, an AK47 mag can fit in an AK74, but of course would not chamber the round, whereas an AK74 mag won't fit into an AK47 because the 74 magazine has a little bit up on the top of it specifically to prevent it seating in an AK47, because an AK74 round would chamber into an AK47, so they added that feature to prevent it from being done by accident. But that's in the world of the real weapons. In Stalker, it's probably just a visual error by a 3D modelling artist who thinks all AKs are cross compatible in the same way that a lot of people think that Krinkov is some kind of official designation as opposed to the truth of it being a nickname of dubious origins supposedly deriving from the Afghan war if you believe the story about it.

Of course with airsoft guns it makes no difference because the calibre is always 6mm (except on those weird and rare 8mm calibre airsoft guns). So I'm guessing it probably would fit, but having said that, of all the airsoft AKs I've got, I know that some of them have magazines which, whilst they do fit into other AKs, don't feed the BBs too well. I should imagine most airsoft AKs of the same brand would play ball, but I wouldn't put money on it working across different manufacturers, and of course it's worth noting that some airsoft guns are branded under one name, but actually made by other companies, so the brand itself is no guarantee of commonality. I'd try it with someone else's gun at a skirmish rather than spending money on it and finding out that it doesn't the hard way. That said, mags are fairly easy to modify and with AKs, they all tend to lock in via the same mechanism, so providing the feed hole lines up correctly, I bet you could get most of them to work, and even if it didn't, you could indulge in a little surgery and make it so.

 
In future, could such posts please be kept to relevant threads?

No hard feelings, just to prevent a picture thread to get clogged with text posts not related to the pictures.

Much appreciated :)

Been working on my SRC AKS-74U GBBR, added a real steel Vector Rail, PTS AFG and Noveske Soundhog, all sourced from Dedsec on here. Plus a reflex type holo sight I already had.

Fitting the rail was not straightforward as it is a fraction longer than the original handguards and also needed a new narrower gas tube fabricating from various pieces of brass tube, this was a pain to get right but still be large enough to allow the gas piston to move freely inside. Moving the Front sight/gas block forward about 7mm on the barrel solved the length issue thankfully. After all the work it works fine and I'm really pleased with the outcome.

So apologies to those who like their AK's to have wood furniture, but my 2 AEG's do have wood furniture if that helps lol!
