[QUOTE=Kill001;40072335]Aye, that shiny glossy finish is what I'm looking for, how did you apply it?

It's very similar to the finish I find attractive[/QUOTE]
I applied it by spraying it on. It is actually intended for car engines (which is why heat hardens it), but I figured it would look good on my AKs. If you live in the US, there are endless possibilities. I guess you could just visit a gun store and ask for a glossy black spray-on baking finish.
Edit:
From what I understand, this should work more than well enough: [url]http://www.brownells.com/gunsmith-tools-supplies/metal-prep-coloring/paint-finishes/bake-on-aerosol-paints/gloss-black-aerosol-6oz--sku083051002-1150-43204.aspx[/url] . I initially wanted to order something like that from the US, but the shipping was absolutely crazy expensive.
The finish I use actually wears off rather fast. It does not scrape easily off, but it wears thin after some skirmishing. This gives my AKs a realistic worn finish in a shorter timeframe than in real life :D
Same gnus, new hues feat. NO ORANGE TIPS OH GOD EVERYTHING LOOKS SO GOOD NOW

FUCK that wood is sexy!!
So yeah, I bought the last TM MP7 GBB Dogtag Airsoft had. No extra mags though, some guy I know came in and bought 10 of them before I got there. Got 3 pre-ordered. Gun was retailing for $380 and mags for $55. Testing it at Gamepods CQB field tomorrow.

Fitted my new stock to my AKS-74U. It wobbles a little, but not as bad as my old Dboys stock. A little welding will probably fix this issue.
I think I might apply some more finish to it. Some moisture got under the finish a couple of places, so it didn't stick. Should be an easy fix.
LCT on the right, dboys left.

if that were for sale i would buy it hands down
it probably will be
just wait a week or two
I would sell my first born child for that.
If it weren't for the very much plasticy pistolgrip and magazine, I would never, ever be able to tell that gun from an airsoft
Vandy has / makes best khyber pass AKs
I love you guys <3
This just made me remember why I love face punch <3
Just a small observation, that heatshield wouldn't prevent you from burning yourself on a real gun. Heatshields are meant to keep the fingers away from the barrel/gas tube so you don't burn yourself by contact, and the vents allow the heat to escape. If the heatshield is right up against the tube, then there's no buffer space and it heats up by contact very quickly.
Ya hold the mag silly! Do u even AK?
in taliban land you use your other hand to hold another gun, dummy

Fixed
TM MP7A1 ready to go. Suppressor on there is temporary until I order the proper one. Used at Gamepod's Combat Zone and it's fucking amazing. Does have one issue though, but I'll cover that in the review.

when will you upload it?
Writing up the outline for the review tonight. If work is slow tomorrow I'll start filming it in the afternoon. Might put up a teaser video of it firing in slo-mo.
Ok. I'm most likely going to get one here soon and I'm very curious of your opinion and whether you recommend it or not.
Without going too much into details, I'd HIGHLY RECOMMEND it. Blows the KWA MP7 away. I have no regrets buying it.
Thats what I was hoping! =D
Oh.

Actually, this is so nice, that I am willing to buy this from you (assuming it's working?), name a price with shipping

Careful if you're using green gas/propane, a couple people on Arnies have reported cracked nozzles within two hundred shots and no replacements forthcoming.
Aren't most TM GBBs designed to use low power duster gas over green gas anyway?
