Well a lot of money for me at least. I sold lots of things, some of which I would like to have kept, in order to put together a gun, pistol and modest loadout. But I don't regret any of it.
I must confess to having been very irresponsible too. When I first saw the variou LCT AKs on the Fire Support site, I wanted to buy all of them.? Lack of funds and common sense prevailed. No point in buying the long barrelled guns (even though they look the best) because I only play CQB. So I looked at the subcarbines. The trouble was I wanted to buy all of those too. I eventually narrowed it down to two and finally picked one.
I was so blown away by the appearance of the externals, considering the price I had paid, that I did a very foolish thing: I bought the other one. Now here comes the ludicrous part. I love the things so much that, although I will take them to a skirmish, I will probably use them mainly at home or the airgun range I go to. And of course I will look at them a lot. Sad isn't it.
But one thing I have already realised. These are not the heaviest guns out there but they are both over three kilos in weight, without anything having been added, and I think, at my age, that even with the use of a sling I will start to find them tiring during a three hour CQB session, and certainly during a full day outside skirmish.
I recently had the chance to hold the G&G Combat Machine Raider - the all plastic one with the short barrel - and it was a revelation. So much so that when I again have the funds I may decide to buy one as a backup gun. Either that or JG 36c, though the JG is bulkier and heavier. All I want is something that is light, will take a 9.6 nunchuck, and cheap enough that I will not become anal about taking care of it.
If I hadn't loved the AK platform so much, I could have spent a lot less money on a cheap little gun so light as to be perfect for CQB, and run it with my pistol.
I have bought two accessories for my AKs that I have discovered I will probably never use. The first is a mag spacer to help quick reloading of mags. However, once in place the only way to get it out is to remove the whole gearbox. And the spacer has to be removed to get at the hop up and inner barrel. So that is a no no for me. It's easy enough to put mags in without the spacer provided you do it carefully. For CQB changing mags is not a good idea so I will run the guns with hicap only.
The other accessory is a scope mount that is secured on the side of the gun. It is such a tight fit, that it needs to be attached and removed with a little help from a rubber mallet. Having the mount means having to remove it every time I want to access the battery compartment. So that looks like being a bit of a no no too.
Any way I will now go back to rooting around the house looking for other things to sell to fuel my addiction.?
