Best AK: durability/parts and accessories

[Amos]

You can find realsword guns in that range

RS 56 is about 700? Mags would put you at about 100 bucks, and a battery. It is worth it, you will end up spending a little less same on a G&G to get it up to that standard. Wait until you have the cash to get a RS, you will not regret it.

The type 56-2 goes for $550 ish these days

Has anybody owned a VFC AK, specifically the AKS74u? I have a few questions about it, but one thing that I noticed is that VFC introduces 'Real bolt simulation' on all their guns. How much of an effect is it, does anybody know? I mean that's great to actually feel like the gun is working, but I'm more concerned about my accuracy/consistency.

Also, anybody know where I should look to buy it? Does it have to be a Canadian dealer? If so, the only one that sells VFC doesn't sell any of the AK models.

I have a VFC 74M with the bolt simulation. I disabled it after 1 day.
It's not worth it really. If your familiar with the old Guarder way of doing blowback it's the same thing. The gearbox has a slot in it to the piston where a metal piece sits. It then pulls the charging bolt back and a spring drives it forward.
It's pretty much a gimmick.

Real bolt simulation is, like Gish said, a Gimick.

To buy a VFC AK, will most likely be from the classifieds, or importing through a retailer; ie. Age verified.

[RussianHunter]

Yea, thats what i thought

The feeling I get is that VFC should cost upwards of around 1k, I couldnt find any prices though. Is it worth it if instead I can purchase a full metal CA? From what I've read, the internals of CA aren't that great, but it should still work fine and have decent accuracy and ROF?

If I buy a used VFC or CA, will it be fine? Or are AEG's of these and formentioned brands prone to failure after a certain amount of time (assuming normal use)?

I'd be greatfull for any input. I'm having flashbacks of the weeks I spent on research before buying my first paintball gun )

[Debrief]

New VFCs go for $500ish (Cheap!). Don't cut corners, get a VFC.

Its difficult to know when an AEG will fail. Buy the best brand you can and treat the gun right, and hope for the best.

[RussianHunter]

Oh! Okay, I thought it'd be much more. Thanks man

So everybody is in agreement? VFC is the best bet for an AKS-74?

Okay?

Far from the best AK...
