Looking for a good GBB AK

[GeorgePlaysAirsoft]

Thought id ask here rather than start another thread, with regards to the GHK AKM/AKMS, how are the stocks? my main question is can you easily replace the stock of the AKMS with a real wood stock? 

Putting a solid stock on an AKMS would require a new reciever, so you arent really replacing the stock, you're replacing a fair % of the gun itself.

The AKMS reciever has a hole on each side where the folding stock is fitted, with the rear of the reciever being flat. The AKM reciever doesn't have those holes,and the rear of the receiver has 'tangs' which the stock fits to.

With an AKM you could fit a real stock fairly easily with a bit of modification to the stock. You could also get a stock adapter which would allow you fit m4 style stocks should you ever wish to tacticool it up.

One more question, I'm about to buy this soon and I'm wondering what gas I should get.

I've had issues with green gas not being strong enough even in the summer for my pistol, so should I get the different nozzles and stay with black gas? Does black gas have stronger blowback even with a different nozzle?

You'll be fine with green (or propane) gas for most of the year. You could try a bit of red in the cold & damp months...

I've got a standard nozzle, a 1 joule nozzle and an adjustable nozzle.

The standard one I have MAY be just the one classed as the low fps nizzle for this country as I've seen some reviews on the tube running a "standard nozzle" that runs way hotter than mine. The 1 joule nozzle is fine. The adjustable one is a pile of poop IME and is a bit ghetto consisting of a screw you either wind in or out to change the fps and it's quite inconsistent on FPS I have found.

I am talking from having the smallest AK they do so I can't say what the bigger models perform like but as a guess - not that different. :lol:

IF samoon still sell them I'd recommend a TNT TR Hop unit and barrel set. It's a good upgrade for the GHK AK.

The stock hop works fine but is a weak spot being plastic and they can shatter with a misfeed. And it will at some point.

(The TNT hop may require a little filing to fit properly...)

I made on Saturday a new nub for mine to lift a slightly heavier weight BB. It's made from an HSS drill bit (donor material).

Domed ontop for the rotary wheel to slide on easy and flat underneath on the bucking. Essentially it's just a longer harder nub.

It lifts 0.32 dead straight with almost no hop applied... lol :lol:

I have yet another question, about importing from Samoon, I can't find a whole lot, what has peoples experiences been with it? I've read you have to tell them to write the UKARA number on the box, is there anything else, such as fees etc. Thanks

I always always put my UKARA number as part of my address when ordering from abroad.  I then also put it in my order.  I have to say my experiences with Samoon have always been first class, they ship very quickly and are utterly reliable.

@Immortal  I have a new AKM on order what do you mean by the BB tube/feeder needing modding?  The feed ramp up into the chamber?  May just run AK74 mags if thats the case...

Any opinion on the Maple Leaf hop chamber? I have one to shove into mine when it arrives.

This video shows it better than words (not my vid btw). I did it to all my mags, however the issue he describes only happened with a couple of them. It's a quick job once you get going... hence I just did them all.
