Davegolf Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 So guys n gals, who makes the prettiest looking AK74 Bakelite mid caps that fit Real Swords? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skara Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 NPO I guess, as they transplant airsoft internals into real 5.45 shells, but they are rather expensive at €50ish per mag.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want 5.54X39 mags in a 7.62X39 based replica sounds like heresy? When you could convert 7.62X39 Bakelite mags from Zib http://www.zib-militaria.de/epages/61431412.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/61431412/Products/91312 Using this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EoZ9MqEgYY There is also a individual in the Northern Pack FB by the name of Кирилл Панов who dose real steel mag conventions not directly for Real Sword but for E&L & LCT but they fit RS with minor filing on the mag rear locking lug underside.

Davegolf Posted August 15, 2020 Author Share Posted August 15, 2020 Haha! Planning on building up an AK105 hence the request for AK74 Bakelites. Aee there any off-the-shelf options? @E21A I think @Sniper780 just made a typo, I seem to have ridiculous dyslexia typing sometimes too! Thankyou Skara, those NPOs look fiiiiiiiine! 😍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cromulon1994 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 To anyone wanting to modify "bakelite" type plastics. Dremel, sand or cut them at your own leisure but older western thermosplastics, and any russian thermosplastics are very likely to contain asbestos. Perfectly safe unless you disturb the material buy cutting or abrasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davegolf Posted August 22, 2020 Author Share Posted August 22, 2020 Thanks to all involved, i did contact NPO directly, but they are currently out of stock / not manufacturing them. If anyone wants any - i ordered some from Grey Shop RU, they look so pretty!! Cant test them ATM as my AK is in bits. To any potential purchasers, they do need a little TLC to finish the untreated cut metal areas, this could be done with black aerosol and would mimic the OE finish on some plum mags.
