Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - AKS-74 conversion?

Hello all,

A few months back I bought a CYMA AKS-74 in which I encountered some problems (thread link). I decided to work on this and I was wondering about something :

About conversions :

You see, I sort of find my 74 is a bit too long to my liking. I stumbled upon this thread on Red-Alliance talking about converting an AK-74 to an AK-102/104/105. Now my question is, would it be possible to go from a full AKS-74 to a AKS-74U length? or the handguards, front sight post, rear sight block would pose a problem (meaning if I were to just shorten the outer barrel physically and try to fit a AKS74U front sight post).

I thought about maybe try to get a full front set but I realised the two models don't use the same rear sight and receiver covers.

any heads-up would be kindly appreciated! thanks!
