Gun picture thread

Nope lol

Gas M4 and a Polarstar Fusion Engine for my L129 are the next guns I'll be getting. Apart from LMGs and snipers I'm explored everything else I want to I think.
polarstar DMR.... oooooooooooh, fancy!
He's mental, James!

AK's looking the dog's, Ed. The reason I stopped buying waffle mags is because hits can go through 'em, but they look so cool and now I know how to take them apart, perhaps it's time to get some more... more AK mags... more, more, more

Can't help thinking that a DDR grey RS sling would look better than your khaki one.

...or these people have them a bit trashed and cheaper.​
 
I'm looking into getting a Magpul CTR stock on it, as well as an ergo type pistol grip, so once I've done that I'll probably just get a single point sling... But I agree, the sling colour is a bit on the pooy side...

Does your G&G AK have the tongs top and bottom rather than the side connecting the stock to the body (like mine?)

If so, I to have wanted to add a CTR stock to my AK, however, all of the buffer tube brackets I have come across are iether for TM models or RS rifles so wouldnt fit a G&G

Please let me know how you get on

Gracious! or should I say спасибо

 
If you're going CTR, you traitor, you may as well look into CYMA Beta mags:

...and use an MS2 sling.​
See, I would, but then I'd be putting 5.45x39mm mags into a 7.62x39mm rifle, and that is the WORST kind of heresy.

I might get an MS2 sling though :3

Talbert, I've found these: http://ant-supplies....ckAdapters.aspx

Which I think will fit with some minor modifications, maybe just some drilling, dremmelling and sawing. I'll be getting on there someway, somehow. You're right in how it fits on though, those two tong thingies.

Yeah I have found those also, I just didnt think they would fit and unfortunately, things that require dremmelling - Id probably end up doing something massively wrong!

Let me know how you get on though and I might have to make a leap of faith!

Are you sure they're 5.45 mags? I though magpul made them for normal AKs?

 
But they're not very curvy at all. Look at an AK74 mag compared to a 47 one.

I'll give it a Google to be sure though, 'cos I do think they look awesome.

 
I'm going to stop making sarcastic suggestions... ;)

And anyway, who are you calling a spas, Sarge?

 
so... the conclusion? are they 5.45 or not? wanna get some tacticool 5.45 midcaps that feed well on cyma.

wish they made something like this...

if the gun the mag fits in in a 5.45 variant then they prob will be. but its hard to tell from the pic.

 
If you scrape around a bit you'll notice 5.56 and 5.45 mags for AKs are fairly similar in profile, much straighter than 7.62x39. Reason being 7.62x39 is narrower at the shoulder than it is at the base by around 1.2mm, 5.56 only has a difference of roughly 0.6mm between base and shoulder. So when you stack the 762 it creates that curvature and the mags have to be that way in order to accept the full 30 rounds and then feed them out again properly.

Those translucent waffled mags are by Arsenal in Belgium and come in various colours and all the main AK calibers, although the big US online guns stores seem to be in short supply (they're probably fairly rare over there). Here's an example much like the ones we get in airsoft:

AFAIK, Beta Project originally came out with the airsoft replicas and I'd imagine that's where PTS got their idea for the TMAG. The actual Magpul Industries AK magazines look just like PMAGs in terms of their surface, although IMO I think they kinda look weird, like an AR mag that's got a bit melted.

well, I am quite sure the gun in the picture is the real thing... All my airsoft AK mags work in all my AKs^^ but a 7.62 in a ak74 just doesnt look right.

well, I'd agree with mostly everything above.. but I do kind of fail to see how it is relevant thou? unless you know where the get the airsoft counterpart to the arsenal magazines? even if it's 7.62, I'll just pop it in my akm :)
