AK's - what is there, which should I buy?

[Lozart]

The ICS is the best AKS-74U without going mental on the cost - £200 from Landwarrior. £280 from Fire-Support mind. Needs a spring upgrade cos OOTB it fires @318FPS, but it is such a lovely gun.

I had a look at those actually. 318 wouldn't be a problem for me as I pretty much only play CQB anyway plus I have others that can/could fire harder!

Well in that case, Loz, I couldn't recommend it highly enough. Not far off as solid as the real steel I reckon, apart from the welds which connect the stock to the hinge. Not that they're crap, just that you couldn't have it held by 2 other people so you could stand on it for a leg up.

Does the ICS AKS74U still have the plasti-steel receiver? If it does that bumps it up a fair notch on my 'guns I want list' since it'll be nice and light.

^^Good lard, no! It's steel. Almost as heavy as an ICS L85.
