I had a plastic Cyma AKS receiver laying around. Took off the stock and its hardware, and duplicated the two large holes on to the Element AKM body, using a drill press and a dremel mostly. As for the rear tabs - cut em off.

For the front I had to cut the outer barrel off on both sides to the right length, then drill and tap a new hole for the screw under the front sight. Also had to do some dremelling on the rear of the sight, for it to mesh properly with the lower handguard retainer.

With all the people enjoying this project, who will send me some donations via EMT so I can build an RPK

I always enjoy seeing pics of your AKs. That 'Rusty' sure is a kickass looking little gun though. That genuinely looks like a piece that's been used in battle for the last 30 years.

How did this go so long without me seeing it?! Beautiful AKM Ancorp (or can we call you Sasha now?), and 'Rusty' turned out well too. Normally I'd turn up my nose at most any Krink, but this one actually looks good.

ancorp · April 22nd, 2008, 22:45

Haha, thanks guys.

I'm surprised you didn't comment about how AEGs should earn their own wear, Coma

It's true, but I had to have ONE beatup AK in the house, so here we are.

Шурик is fine.

Any one can take a bunch of different parts and slap it onto a gun, but what you did takes some mad skill.

Thought I'd bring this thread up from the dead.

FINALLY found my camera charger, several weeks after I came back from vacation.

Made abit of progress on the AKM, ready for Humanity's Hammer (almost).

It's a crappy flash pic I snapped up in the dark. Just thought I'd give this thread an update of some sort. Open the high resolution copy of the picture to see the detail.

Thus - pistol grip dyed to a dark brown/slightly plum color (still working on the final finish of it with clearcoat/polishing/etc). Wore the wood a little to match the bluing. Converted a 40 round real steel Romanian RPK mag to a 150 round airsoft midcap :P

High Res HERE

The blue tape is temporary, and will hopefully be fixed tomorrow.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Cheers,
Alex

Every time I look in one of your threads it makes me want an AK.

ColtFarmer · June 2nd, 2008, 00:10

It's your old PBS-1 (appearantly), you tell me.

666 · June 2nd, 2008, 00:54

IIRC it's one of custom made PBS silencers I had made for me years ago.

ancorp · June 2nd, 2008, 11:39

Hmm I was told it came from Freedom Fighter, to Coltfarmer, to Coma, and then to me.

Vlad,
Any tips as to how to unscrew the damn thing? I think it may have paint down in it's threads. I was thinking of making a tracer unit.

ColtFarmer · June 2nd, 2008, 12:24

I thought I recognized it! But I didnt remember selling it to you.

You can unscrew it, but the threads were unfinished to its just INCREDIBLY tight.

I recommend getting it in a vise and jut taking it real slow. then you can burnish the threads and make it go on a little easier.

Also, you might try to get an older tracer unit as the new one probably wont fit in there.

Coma · June 2nd, 2008, 13:16

Isn't it fun tracking your old airsoft bits and bobs? :-p

Looking good Ancorp. Nice find on the RS 40-rounder, looks great. Whats with the blue tape?

ancorp · June 2nd, 2008, 13:30

The tape was because the top screw stripped in the stock. It was repaired the next day for the game, no tape, solid as a rock.

NOW the AK is in pieces, and the mechbox in a ziplock bag. Also I broke the ICS bolt. And lost a couple screws. Major reconstruction will be done soon, once I fix up this now dead gearbox. What a bitch to have your AK die right in the heat of the game.

Trader rating · June 2nd, 2008, 14:00

Dam are those ICS bolts really that cheap?

also whats your solution for striped stock screw? Epoxy the hole, redill, rescrew, PROFIT?
