Mauri vs Kraken

[laredo]

Would I be better off upgrading a kraken AK or should I buy a mauri?
The kraken shoots a lot faster from out of the box and comes with a hi-cap mag,battery and charger.
I found wood stock sets on ebay that are super cheap that will fit it as well.
So my question is if I spend nearly triple that amount on a mauri what am I actually gaining?

You're gaining reliability. Just because it has higher FPS doesn't mean it's better.

search up kraken on asc and youll find what i did... for the price of a marui i got a full metal, wood kit and a drop in box and hop up and inner barrel. it will out perform a marui any day

Kraken is just a rebrand of the CYMA 028 AK, a good buy if you don't care about cosmetics or feel.

Use the Search function to read about the Marui.

I'm very interested to hear of your mods, where can I find the upgrade parts?

[Stupideye]

Yeah, I have the kraken as well and looking for upgrades for it as well.

[dodger_me]

[Stupideye]

And no one charges shipping on those upgrade items or that rifle? That's strange...

Dunno how closely you're keeping score there, but basically what you have isn't really a Kraken anymore. Buy a few external parts and odds and ends parts instead of the initial Kraken, and you have a built-from-parts AK.

That being said, and considering how much shit you had to swap out of it, I think you've just demonstrated beyond a doubt that the Kraken is an absolute piece of shit compared to the Marui.


Edit: not bashing you, either. And having built a few all-from-parts guns myself, I applaud your ingenuity in finding parts to pull it off that barely ran more than $500. But seriously, it says nothing good about the Kraken itself.

Yeah, what are you keeping, the magazine and the outer barrel?
