Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - Need help with 'detailed' info concerning LCT AK's

Well, I just got my LCT AK74MN (New Version)...
...this is a SWEET rifle!

I am really impressed with the assembly; it all feels really solid!

I was NOT impressed with the grip itself though, kinda feels loose, had to put in a small shaving of electric tape in the back notch for it to stop wiggling.. and it feels like the cheapest plastic ever.
The handguard is ok. I'll have to grease most parts, like the rear sights and the bolt spring/guide.. they aren't smooth at all (a quick fix).

But those are all things I plan on playing around with anyways; real steel handguards, grip, sling, etc. I've been looking at the optics at Kalinkaoptics.com as well. I've read somewhere LCT's take real steel optics, due to the side mount being an exact replica (correct me if wrong).

Otherwise, it fires nice and hard, only tested with my 8.4V 1600mAh stick.. waiting on a 9.6v. Rate of Fire should be perfect on the 9.6. Magazine fits in nice and tight, although I understand why the spacer is a nice part to add; I wouldn't want to force the mags in.. the plastic on the High-Cap (being switched out for mids) doesn't look/feel the strongest (I may be wrong). Selector is nice and crisp. Trigger Guard needs a little filing.. rough edges (half-finger gloves). Cleaning rod is rather loose/wiggles (I 'leaned' the head onto the screw to fix that). When I get the chance, I'll be testing it more, accuracy/range and all.

So far though, I am more than happy with my purchase. (Ordered Thursday night, received this Monday afternoon).

All that said, I would still appreciate a little experience from you guys; especially concerning Magazines. Are there brands I should stay away from? (CYMA was mentioned)..

I've noticed these mags:

Magpul PTS Masada AKM Mags:

G&P AK74 150rds [I would really like plum-colored mags]:
http://torontoairsoft.3dcartstores.c...UM_p_1263.html

And last question: do I have any better option of composite/plastic grip? I really want to replace the flimsy-el-cheapo-plastic grip (non-wood grip). I was looking at the bakelite one; but it just looks like more el-cheapo plastic. Maybe another brand? Compatibility?
