"Real" Airsoft AK47

[WWPierre]

I just watched this video on the Kalashnikov, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=IPF5IyN3BJs and learned that the Russian factory where they are made also turns out an airsoft AEG version. That would be a very good addition to my collection. Does anybody know how I would go about obtaining one?

[Danke]

I would start by running a search on here for the original thread on the subject.

































































If you're the type who likes spoilers though it will never cross the border if they are converting actual receivers.

Last I heard they where going for 1,000 USD.

Holy Cow! 3 replies within 5 minutes. It would have taken me longer than that to compose a search. Thanks, fellas.

I hope "a VAL" is a figure of speech and there's more than one.

I thought RS made theres in the same factory ?

Its a Ak-74m not a Ak-47 huge difference!

I would invest a grand if I were assured of getting it here. I would think such an item would retain its value.

I wonder if my 22 year old guns are are worth anything as "collector's items" (see link in sig below)

Not sure what that is. If it is a brand name, the answer is "no". The four "antiques" are all Tokyo Marui. Three are spring types, but the HK-5 is a gas gun. It doesn't work very well, as it freezes up after a few tens of rounds. The gas is "flon gas" whatever that is. I think maybe freon.

I wrote descriptions to go with the photos, but Photobucket is going through a (very painful) re-design these days, and my detailed descriptions got lost in the shuffle. I bought these in Japan during Operation Desert Storm and brought them home in a bag with the following prominent label. "This bag contains plastic replicas of real weapons." There wasn't any reaction that I noticed.

Nooblord get your eyes checked, the Marui logo is clearly visible on all the boxes.
