Realsword is to Norinco as Izmash is to Izmash

question still unanswered.. are they using real AK receivers? because if so.. it's prohibited in Canada

If they are using Cyma gearboxes or other TM compatible, probably not.

probably is not for certain..


Id rather not buy one of these things and then have the RCMP tactical unit kick down my door and bust me for possession of a prohibited firearm.

They did exactly that when the China made BB guns were mistakenly permitted for import with re-manufactured type 56 receivers.

AFAIK Any Ver III gearbox will have to gut out extensively to the point there's not much left (material wise) inside.

Cloning does NOT mean you do copy, paste. I'm talking about stealing an idea. PTW Hop-up System, PTW Gearbox, motor (please fix the issue though), cylinder etc.
It's not impossible.

.

if it starts it's life as an AK receiver.. it does not matter how much it's modified.. it's always an AK receiver as far as the RCMP is concerned.

Yeah, the same people brought us the Type 97 fiasco. I highly doubt they're using real recievers, but as you state, doubt isn't fact. I'd also like some clarification on this.

If it is, I really wonder how if the Russian government will prevent export.

I would pay a grand for one of these. Even though I have two perfectly good AKs already. The cachet is worth it. I doubt it would ever drop in value. A Timex keeps as good time as a Rolex, but people still buy Rolex.
