Editor · July 2nd, 2008, 19:00

I hope you guys enjoy it, it comes in two parts on YouTube:

Part 1:
YouTube - D Boys Kalash AKS-74 Review Part 1

Part 2:
YouTube - D Boys Kalash AKS-74 Review Part 2

Things discussed:
-Dboys as a Company
-Their M4 AEG
-Changes/Improvements between their AEG's
-Metal Quality
-Gearbox Quality
-Funny Russian Stuff
-Wobbles and where they are
-Compatible mags
-etc

Please feel free to comment here or on YouTube if I missed something or have something to add, I am always open to comments and crits.

Cheers!

you should become the official ASC video review maker...guy. Ive seen em all and their all quite well done.

Relja · July 2nd, 2008, 19:28

I must concur. Quite well done indeed. Now im thinking of getting a dboys AKS74.

Skladfin · July 2nd, 2008, 19:33

haha I laughed at some parts.

Though I don't think the battery actually can go into the gas block, it narrows down from there. I've owned a Kalash AK74MN, so I've tried it and don't think you could.

nicely done

Thanks for the comments, I enjoy making these videos as you can tell by my YouTube account. As for the battery, I am 95% certain you could do it with little to no modification to the gas block area.

Just got my Kalash on Friday , most of what you say in your vids is true and i am very happy great product , the only down side was that when i opened the box the hop up was pushed way back , so I have to anyway replace it , the other thing was the barrel I polished it boy that was dirty. As for the battry I have a 9.6v 1500 battry which works great it does fit with a bit of a twist it does go in and yes it give you a a high rate of Fire , but the standard battry is not bad in piont of fact there is very little differences between the standard and the 9.6v .
I would like to know one thing you said something that Dboys/Kalash make or made parts for CA and other manufactures how did you fined that or where did you fined that info out ? I like the videos enjoyed it

This dood is great. Highly recommended. lol.

Editor · July 13th, 2008, 18:14

Thanks for the kind words. I am trying to think of what to do next. I know firing tests are high up there, but I want to do them in an area where I have realistic conditions and ranges, so not plinking cans in the basement, but shooting in an open field. I hope to do that soon in the coming weeks.

I'd love to review more AEG's but I can only comment on what I own and sadly that isn't much. I have my CA M4 still, but those are as common as dirt so thats what it wasn't done first. So how would you guys feel if I went more into the gear side of things, such as sights, pouches, batteries, chargers or whatever else I can get my hands on?

Who knows, maybe somebody will let me review kit one of these days.

Seems like a real solid gun. Good review too. I'd like to get my hands on a Dboys AKS-74u myself.
