AK47 build price check

Sergeantmajor · October 12th, 2009, 21:53

Hi guys,
I know you're not here to spoon feed me, but I have quick little question.

How much would it run me to buy or build and AK47 replica with metal and wood parts? Some good quality metal not some shit I can bend with my hands and preferably laminated wood.

I have a decent collection of RS (

RS...giggles

) Russian/commie guns and I felt like adding the most important piece of Commie garbage.

Yes I know I'm not AVed and I won't be for another 7 something months. But I wanna know what would the ballpark price looks like so I can decide wether I should save up for an AEG or buy a DEWAT.

Thanks,
Alex

The AK 47 is NOT garbage. It will swim through a flood, walk through a sandstorm and will let you drive a Hummer over it and still shoot you in the head. That said, iirc the CAS AK-47 metal + wood was about $4XX.

Is the quality there or am I better off saving and buying the plastic version and then replacing the plastic parts with after market top notch wood and metal parts?

oh and:
"In Soviet Russia AK47 shoots you!"

when you will be age-verified buy yourself a real sword ak... around 800 bucks

Ripperman79 · October 12th, 2009, 22:15

really your better off buying the metal one, you'd save time money and effort doing it that way.

Yeh, but I don't think most people have that type of money to throw around, especially since you're turning 18 and have university in mind.

The CYMA line seems to have decent ak's for 4-6 hundred -/+ quality/upgrades of course.

Since he'll be age verified soon, he'll be better off buying off the classifieds or a retailer here.

CAS guns have clear/smoked PLASTIC receivers.

Sorry, that was the only price I knew for an AK that had real wood. I assume he knows that CAS has tinted receivers and cost-cut on externals

Are you actually going to play with it or is it just a showpiece? It sounds like you're a collector and if so you can get the crappiest POS gun and just replace the furniture and stuff to make it look good heck you could probably just take a broken gun off someones hands if it's just going to be a showpiece.

If you're thinking of gaming it though, probably in the ballpark of $500-600 for a good quality one.

Sergeantmajor · October 12th, 2009, 22:31

Just checked the review for the CAS G&G AK and it looks like nice piece of kit at a decent price. How much does a quality metal body run for? This mount sound silly but can I mount a bayonet on it? or does it require a different outer barrel and front sight?

edit.

I do plan on fielding this stick when the time comes. I'd like it to be pretty robust so I can abuse it like my RS(omg..each time it makes me giggle).

You mean your daddy's RS?

But seriously, wait and get something from the classifieds.

L473ncy · October 12th, 2009, 22:45

Metal AK bodies seem to go in the ballpark of $90-120 last time I checked.

Also how is it that you have an AK? I thought those were prohibited (Unless it's a civilian version or something).

Don't have an AK nor mentioned I had one. Thats why I made this thread, because I can't have a real one. I do have a VZ-58 tho. ahum, I have my daddy's vz-58.

How common are laminate stock sets for G&G Ak's?

Crunchmeister · October 12th, 2009, 23:01

If you're looking to build a good quality AK as you say, you're looking at about 700-ish for all the parts, including a quality steel receiver and laminate wood parts.

If you're looking for the ultimate AK, then I'd say to hold off and throw the extra $100-150 on top of that and get a Real Sword Type 56 instead. Doesn't get much more genuine than real-steel externals. That's as close to a real AK as a civvie is ever likely to get their hands on in Canada.
