Supporters sp00n Posted January 2, 2023 Author Supporters Share Posted January 2, 2023 My guess it TM will announce the ak74 this year, akm compatible (usually TM dose a variant or 2 of a model/rif each year) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pupa2794 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 173 dollars. I had one of these aks when they first came out, whoever decided to design the stock like that was being obtuse. There's literally no reason they couldn't have made the stock RS compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters sp00n Posted January 21, 2023 Author Supporters Share Posted January 21, 2023 Just done 2 upgrades - a BBF hop arm and a DyTac/Aaron Smith Japan Mount Rail For TM AKM. Finally an upgraded hop arm!!! need to test them both, apparently the hop arm (and omega nub) is capable of lifting .43’s so should be good with .36’s😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I modified my hop arm because the stock one seems to push on Maple Leaf rubbers unevenly, so I filed some material away. I run mine on .32s, but couldn't do much more with the stock arm. Might look at the BBF one though, as I have to put a lot of hop on to lift .32s. That all said, I do prefer mine to my MWS. Yes, I'll be spending a whole lot more on my MWS making it all tacticool with real-steel parts, but the AKM I will keep basic as it's my bad guy gun and it's so much easier to work on; now that I have mags I love it!

Ah, you must be the big brains around here. Didn't want to make an advert implying I do want to make a swap for definite. I did say potentially. Thank you for the information though much appreciated.

mightyjebus Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 AKX is released at the end of the month. https://impulse101.jp/en/gbb-rifle-gas-gun/tokyo-marui-akx-real-gas-blowback-series-5746 not quite sure what Marui's thought process is at times.

danf1234 Posted March 23, 2023 Share Posted March 23, 2023 Has anyone fitted the Volante full travel bolt to the TM AKM yet? It’s pricey but looks to add some realism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 (edited) Finally had a chance to get hands on with one today, have to say its well put together compared to a GHK but it really lacked something in the firing. The recoil really wasn't there at all for me which is half the fun of a GBBR (even compared to my MWS not to mention either of my GHK AKs). I felt distinctly underwhelmed, so much so I put my bank card back in my pocket and walked out of the shop.

MistakenMexican Posted June 1, 2023 Share Posted June 1, 2023 (edited) Got my AKX. Generally happy with it. It’s hot on Green gas and the stock hop unit struggles with anything over 0.25s. I’ve fitted a Bavtac nub and a nineball air seal hop rubber, I’m now flinging 0.28s dead straight with the hop on its lowest setting. im waiting on a volante full travel bolt and a TBB. currently my AKX doesn’t have the hammer strength to depress the exit valve of my G&P mags using Nuprol 2.0. So I need to figure out how to solve that. I suspect the easiest solution will be to change a spring in the trigger box. But I haven’t looked yet. Alternative is to fit OEM Marui exit valves… which I haven’t been able to source.

I wasn’t quick enough to get them directly from WGCShop. I’m not thrilled by the magazines. The AKX can’t depress the exit valve on any of them using Nuprol 2.0. The gas well design is also terrible so half of the magazines have a slow leak from the base. It can be fixed with a bigger oring… but it’s still a stupid problem to have. im waiting on new exit valves to see if that fixes the green gas problem. And I need to source the orings to see if that solves the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilMonkee Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 Just finally picked up an AKM to add to my rather large collection of ....AKMs....any recommendations for hop upgrades? I am aware of the BAVTAC patch, any for the rubber itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Impulse Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I run a Maple Leaf MR hop in mine because it just seems to really like it (I'm usually all about the autobot rubbers), however I'm not using the bavtac patch and instead am using a slightly modified hop arm since I've had my AKM since before these things existed EvilMonkee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I run .32s, though with my weird hop arm that's as much as it'll do. With a better hop arm or nub like the bavtac one, you'll easily lift .3s. I've got a Jaeger Precision hop arm in my bits box now, so I'll likely fit that at some point if my gun starts performing poorly. At the moment though, if it ain't broke, I'm not fixing it! In terms of range, I can reliably hit the 60m target at my local field and I trust the range at my local field because I've confirmed the ranges with my rangefinder! It's a lovely gun for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Hey, I never heard back from anyone, but I've been running it no problems on Nuprol 2.0, turned out the gun I brought second hand already had both upgrades lol, the bowmaster spring is slightly cut down. I think it's only if you had a charging handle extension it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
