WE AKS74U Question

localfreerider · May 4th, 2013, 11:21

So I recently became a we-tard! I have wanted a GBBR for a while now, AEG's are just not as fun to use "functionality speaking". I settled on a AKSU that I planned to NPAS and play CQB with. I would like to age it and make it look like a war relic or some bring home trophy from the sand box.

I have some questions pertaining to the folding triangle stock.

Mine seems to have a slight rightward bend when extended.

Are the "real" folding triangle stocks like this on the AK74?

Are all airsoft folding triangle stocks like this?

Are only WE-AK74UN's like this?

Is mine broken in some way?

Should I have my eyes checked and stop being a whiny baby?

As far as I know, I think that the side mount optics are slightly offset so it wouldn't surprise me if the stock had a subtle kink in it. I just hope mine isn't an anomaly.

I'd never noticed it before, but now I can't help but notice an ever so slight angle to the right in my own. (Teehee)

Does it really bother you? It seems hardly noticeable.

mine will unlock and fold on its own, so call yourself lucky that your stock is just a tiny bit crooked...

It doesn't bother me insofar as it functions flawlessly, but I tend to nitpick tiny details like the barrel trunnion. It would bother me less knowing it was the same way on the "real steel" one.

Disco it was your photos you uploaded that helped inspire my current purchase.

Should I get the RA Tech hand-guard or should I use my google-foo and try to source a real one if possible?

They're like that on the real deal. Its an artifact of how the stocks are made, steel is folded, etc.

sterlok thank you for putting my mind at ease, I sorta guessed that because AK's where never known for there precision fitment. Any sources for the trigger box itself?
