I got a set of wood furniture for my Christmas Kraken how do I remove the front handgaurds?
I have tried finding instructions on the net, but so far with I have had no results.

Take out the rod and then take out the screw unde teh barrel. The Rod can be took out with babre hand.

PS I Had to dremel my wood kit so it would fit. Be prepared.

Thanks, I'll try that right now.
How much did you pay for your wood if you don't mind me asking I bought an rpk set on e bay for under $50.00.

my kit cam with the gun (buyairsoft.ca put it in). 50$ seem to be a fair price, with luck you coulsd have find one at 30$. But 50 seem Fair.

The kit on buyairsoft is made out of plastic.

The RPK kit you got is the same type as the one I got (except I got the AK-74 one), I bet. Light wood, reddish in color? Yes, be prepared to sand it, the pistol grip especially, which is crap, and which I replaced. I refinished the stock and handguards to look less toyish.

Removal of handguards - remove cleaning rod under the barrel by pulling onto the end that's towards the muzzle, downwards, and then out.

Find the screw under the gas port, remove it, and slide the gas port/pipe towards the front sight. May require some force. That will allow you to remove the top handguard. Slide the lower handguard retainer the same way as the gas port to remove the lower handguard. Will require some force as well.

And yes, there seems to be a lack of instructions online for this, had to find a way to do it myself.

Cheers,
Alex

Yeah it was a toss up between the 74 wood and the rpk I chose the latter on account of the longer length of the butt stock.
Mine is blondish in color and has a dull oil finish, it looks quite sharp actually.
I bought the kraken from buy airsoft and the battery turned out to be a dud so I can't even shoot it.
Quite dissapointing really.
