Been collecting parts for over 3 months for this one. Finally found the time to put it together yesterday, very pleased with the results. I wanted to build it into an outdoor accurate rifle (65/70m), snappy trigger, with around 20 RPS and a mean look to complement my much loved RPK16.
Started as a LCT AK12 with the Gate Aster upgrade and newer rotary type hop unit, it shot well enough but it was hot at the chrono, the hop was a bit meh, the trigger wasn't very snappy, it was a bit noisy and fired around 15 RPS.
I took some time researching the hop unit, it came with the newer rotary style hop up which is better than the old slider version but it has preset clicks and I found the spot I wanted was between the clicks, rats. Picked up a Bull Gear machined alloy hop unit, it's gorgeous engineering and shiny with anodised red bits. The hop dial is incredibly accurate with about 60 turns from min to max and it holds the setting perfectly. Added my go to Prommy purple rubber, nub, 433mm stainless barrel and a M110 spring. It's firing .32's flat, far and straight with hop almost off. Accuracy and power fixed!
One of my MP5's has a Gate Aster and the Warhead brushless motor and has the snappy trigger response I wanted for this build so picked up a 27k Warhead motor. Turned the active brake off on the mosfet and reduced the trigger pull, not quite hair trigger but somewhere close. Holly cow this makes a difference, RPS went up a bit to 18 and the trigger response is the telepathic, instant type I've been looking for. As a side note it sounds a lot better as well now. Snappy trigger and AEG whine fixed!
Next onto the mean look. I have been collecting the Zentico and LCT bolt on parts from Ebay, used airsoft and the classifieds here for 3+ months. Added the LCT magwell guides, suppressor and impossible to find QR to 20mm adaptor, Zentico bolt pull and fore grip. It's a bit long and heavy, typical LCT but I am very pleased with the results. Mean look fixed!
Just need to pull it apart again as I don't think I lined the selector up properly so it's a bit hit and miss between auto and semi. Also thinking I will change it to semi and 3 round burst and full auto seams a bit mean!
Had a few health issues this week, hence typing this rather than playing but can't wait to get it to site and put some BB's through it.

Been a while since I posted in here (and with good reason) Still waiting on delivery from CRW but I present to you my new Stainless steel PPK which is a limited production run of 50 and a collaboration between Mafisio making the CNC stainless steel kit and Papago arms providing a choice of marking.
I opted for the West Germany markings
Should recieve it in the next few weeks and will post some more pics when I do!
