Macks airsoft dreamers of the week thread

He isn't that far off with the pricing on that, mad as it sounds. It's a stamped steel mp40, de acts are welded up overpriced garbage now.

People will pay that for them.

*Though I agree, they're cack.

My general point was that if you want an MP40 - you buy the AGM at £100

Dunno about that…. Had one years ago:

gearbox was very “twangy “, trigger was mushy, annoyingly the bolt cover used to flop around letting debris get in. 
Took it apart to fiddle with it and ultimately put it in the bin. Very disappointed. Cheap and nasty rif.

To a re enactor the SRC is far superior.

Prices of airsoft guns can have little to do with how well they actually work.

Look at the price of used VP70s, even the Tanio Koba is poor at best, the LS is abysmal.

And for that price you’d expect the correct bipod (a Harris FFS ?) AND the correct scope as well ! ?‍♂️

And the right barrel, gas block, flash hider...

It's an M249 Para with a RIS guard and a MK46 stock shoehorned on!

 
Another candidate here.....main issue being its a WE for £600 or swap for an MWS!! (LOL!).  I don't care how much RS parts are on it, its still a WE at £600, you could get a new and better GHK for that and still have some change for mags.  Add to that they don't make an AKM, their version is an AK74, which means someone has fiddled with this a lot.  There is so much wrong on this rifle I can't even begin.....

looks like the ad is one of those with the furniture replaced with RS stuff for the classic look.

explains the gas tube change too if the original was railed, presumably the railed handguard and m4 stock adapter mentioned in the ad are the originals

Cmon that hardly counts as an AKM (OK it is technically but you know what I mean)....... The stock on the one in the ad is from an AK74 and it has the wrong flashhider to be that PMC monstrosity.  Also, the AK74 mags would all point to it being an AK74 someone had fiddled with

 The wider point re GHK/price is still valid

i'll confess to not being the biggest expert on the intricacies of ak furniture, but i thought the 74 pattern was a side swivel not bottom?

it's hard to tell from the pics but it looks like it might just not have a muzzle device installed, or at the very least just a thread protector.

eh, wouldn't be the first time folk have run "incorrect" mags because either they don't care or couldn't find the ones they wanted in stock.

 
Add on shipping and it's about £1.70 cheaper than buying new from firesupport

Ak 101. 
although early model 74 look strikingly similar to the akm, in that they both have fixed stock and wooden furniture; apart from chambering different rounds, the main visual ‘tell’ is the gas block: Ak47 have a distinctive curve whereas the 74 has more of a vertical stature. 
this being the pmc akm, I would quite easily see someone buying this and selling the five 74 mags and the furniture and gas tube for say £275.  And setting it back in pic mode, leaving them with a perfectly respectably upgrade rif for £325. 
don’t sound like too bad a deal when you break it down?

Yeah yeah why don’t I but it?

Ghk baby….

And of course you get 3 spare correct magazines in the price. 
hmmm starting to convince my self I need this…..

 
Hold on, have you been into my gun cupboard and nicked my GHK??? Cos that one looks a lot like mine does currently

Well I have an MWS but its stock.  Not a fan of M4 or shotguns massively.   but a nice GBBR Ak always gets my attention :)

Totally agree especially when there’s forum members selling second hand ones at very reasonable prices ! ????
