kasaran Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 So in buying the LCT RPK i found that it is a) very long and b) heavier than the cyma's i have held, likely due to it being a stronger metal. The weight isnt too heavy much for me to run, as I was able to raise and sprint with it throughout a whole days skirmish without issue. However the forgrip angle has sprained my wrist somewhat, and it has taken a few weeks for it no longer ache when twisted/lifting heavy crap. Annoyingly, this has made my other guns, the ones that lack a vertical foregrip less comfortable to wield as they induce that same twist and pressure. Incidentally, it is the same wrist that I broke both arm bones falling off my bike when I was 13 ish? hoping to hell that isnt why. So I see two options. Wrist exercises so they can take the strain (place crude jokes here) or fitting a verticle grip onto the gun. I have practiced a hold in the RPK where my left hand is almost holding the mag which seems to help. LCT don't seem to offer that level of customisation, but CYMA do. Has anyone tried fitting CYMA outer body parts to an LCT? As they have a few RIS rail foregrips aimed at CYMA AK's that would work a treat. Also, if anyone remembers the poll I posted about getting a Russian LMG, the LCT RPK was the most voted for and its an utter beast. Great range, the fire rate is fast enough for me (any faster and the CYMA drum mag spring cant keep up, as I found out with my 74u) and it sounds great.

Iceni Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I'm not sure about Cyma wood compatibility for the AK. I know for the G3 line the LCT is closer to the real steel dimensions than the other airsoft brands. And because of that you are better served with real steel grips and woodwork. LCT do make grips and RIS sections that will replace what you have.https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/lct-pk-58-aims-wooden-lower-handguard https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/lct-pk299-ak9-tactical-lower-handguard It might be worth asking on the LCT UK facebook page about compatibility.https://www.facebook.com/LCTAIRSOFT/ Zib militaria over in Germany have a lot of real steel AK parts. Including a decent selection of woodwork/plastic work. It might be worth picking up a real steel lower and converting that for the handguard you want.http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.sf/en_GB/?ViewAction=View&ObjectID=52443613&PageSize=60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All i got were cyma. Feel such a wally now. But that would be ideal. Sadly, its another part i would like on their websites wishlist that is out of stock. Good enough to know it exists though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iceni Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Parts - Foregrips. Filter by brand LCT. Firesupport doesn't add extras to the product descriptions. So a manual search by the brand is often better on there. A lot of companies will just use an abbreviated code as the product description, and the search only seems to look at the title. If they don't have a part call them. Chances are they can order it, it's just not worth stocking due to low demand. They do have some of the non-Railed handguards in stock. And converting one of those with a pistol grip wouldn't be a lot of effort. However, if I were doing conversion work I'd be very tempted by the AMD65 grip on ZIB and one of the wood lowers, Then find someone with a router and countersink the grip into the guard before screwing it together.http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Products/90978http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Products/90668 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess ill ask, i didnt think they would put an order on for just one part like that? Sadly, i went for the modern plastic furniture for my rpk, so fairly stuck with the first option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeFrag.UK Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 Have a word with Frank at fire-support. I know that the turn around time with LCT is a bit longer than normal at the moment but they should still be able to sort you out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
