• Kalash AKS-74 Steel Reivew

So I got my Kalash AKS-74 and was immediately surprised by the looks of it. It looked and felt exactly like me dad's AK. In fact I went and got it to compare them and was surprised that the only differences where the grip thickness, orange tip, and how far the bolt went back. The externals of this gun are full steel, not monkey metal. It is painted with slightly textured flat black paint that is going to stay on there for quite a long time. It is a VFC clone so the bolt goes back twice as far as TM and CYMA AKs. There is also a very nice plastic on the gun. It's not polymer, but it's not ABS either. There are very large visible seam lines on the grips, that to me make it look more rugged, but to others it may not enhance the look. The mag is craptastic plastic that feels like it's gonna break when inserted into the gun. Don't use it. The internals are pretty good for a clone. It has very nice gears, and wiring, and it's even not over greased! The big problem with it is that the front of the gearbox is completely not reinforced. This may be reason enough to get a stronger shell. I went out to shoot at the same stop sign as last time with the included 9.6 stick battery and .25 Airsoft Elite BBs. At 25 feet it hit 10/10 shots. At 50 feet it also hit 10/10. At 75 feet it hit 9/10 and at 100 feet it hit 7/10. The included battery is not too great, but I will still use it. It delivers ~18 RPS which is a little low for a 9.6 but it will do. I love this gun so much that I named it as well. She's called Kayla :3: PROS: Amazing build quality Looks amazing Preforms better than any clone I've used CONS: Accuracy is a little off, nothing a tightbore cant fix The included battery aint great [img]http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/5732/hpim1433.jpg[/img]
My friends has this one, and the latch that holds the dust cover on breaks after a while and after that you need to tape it on. Other than that, it's a great shooter and very accurate.
A few pins on mine have fallen out (trying to find a replacement) but besides that Kalash makes the best AKs for the price IMO.
This is almost a month old and I'm just now getting comments? Lawl.
