[huang]

Wood frontset, steel body. steel flash hider, steel sight

[Penguin]

how much :|

[surebet]

Probably not that much...

[ancorp]

Around 100-120 USD.



I also hear good things about the upcoming Unicork AKS-74U. All steel/wood. Has a more proper color on the pistol grip too.

$135 US at RussianmaniaWorkshop.

O, Canada!

w/ the current situtation regarding the limited amount of importers, that will be jacked up to $450-$500 easy. But still a pretty good deal considering it's all metal, assuming that the internals are decent. Dboys has also released the AK74SU under the "Kalash" brand name, perhaps signaling that they want to seperate this product from their main brand name. Whether it because the product itself is subpar, or much much better than usual for them, necessitating the brand spinoff remains to be seen.

Ref the unicorn; I've seen the unicorn eotech 552 replica and the QC on it was complete bullocks - so I don't have alot of faith in their ability to build a complete AEG that is reliable at this time.

Steel, not just "monkey metal" like many all metal guns. It can be blued, and you can club people with it with more confidence.

Not too long ago the ASC Armoury had TM AKs for that price, and those things go for double the price of these. I bet they could have had these for about $300-350.

Man i want a AK74 now... between this little sexy thing and the CA all steel one.... mmm

I'd sell my G36 for this. Without a doubt.

Agreed, I'd sell off almost any of my AEGs.

I do have a CM031 I'd love to trade for a G36c*, But I'd totally go with this thing instead. The Goldeneye factor is too great. KF7 action, baby.

*(don't even ask until my age verification goes through)

LOL, I doubt Kos would trade anyway. I believe his G36 is a TM or some other high end brand, and either way, he already has a much nicer ICS AK-74M

I do believe I read on one of the "bargain" HK-based sights (rsov, gunner's, or RMW) that the Unicorn model was in fact a body kit, and that the "complete guns" were assembled in the shops using internal parts from Chinese clones.

Ah, here it is: http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/catalog...cae3907f76655d

and confirmation from a second source: http://www.russianmaniaworkshop.com/...AKS74UCG&cat=6

The only thing that really bugs me is that with AKS74U models or kits now available from VFC, CYMA, Boyi, Inokatosu, Guarder and Unicorn, it's become the M4 of non-armalite weapons - everyone and their dog will have what was once a pretty unique piece.

My G36k is a Star. Very high-end, very hard to find. And yes, the ICS is my babeh. Hence why I'm trying everything in my power to keep her, and make 'er CQC ready.

Shit, at even 450, who can resist a FMU...correction FSU AK folder?!

O, Canada!

the unicorn ak74 has got consistantly very good reviews on arnies from those who are into the chinese guns. i know if one was to appear here i would certainly put my money down on it. someone who imports into canada needs to bring them in.

[ArmaliteWhore]

If that thing is steel and wood and costs 120 USD it must have REALLY bad internals.
