Review VFC AKs74u Master Mount Side Rail

Thumbnail
gallery
• Upvotes

Good evening y’all.

For those of you who purchased a VFC AVs-74u but was disappointed by the lack of a siderail, I’ve come across an option that does not require any drilling or significant diy to install.

The AK Master Mount ™️ Side Rail Kit takes advantage of the hammer and trigger pin holes to align/hold the side rail onto the receiver. The VFC pins were very much RS spec so install was quick and easy. Recommend applying your choice of thread locker on the securing screws.

There are some videos on Youtube going over the install process on RS AKs. The majority of the steps involving moving the trigger/hammer springs out of the way can be ignored if screwdrivers are used to hold the hammer and trigger assemblies in place (untensioned). The only spring that really needs attention would be the one retaining the pins.

While this thing did cost $100 before taxes and shipping, the ease of install and the fact that it wasn’t a rear sight rail made it all worth it!

Discussion (VFC) Does V3 outer barrel & Upper reciver work with the new EVO hop-ups?

2 Upvotes

Hello!

I am considering getting a VFC M4A1 or the KS-3 EVO systems, but I'm also look forward to changing the rifles to other AR varients, but I was wondering if a VFC V3 outer barrel and/or upper reciver can be installed with what looks to be a reviced hop-up system?

The newer hop-up from VFC - VR16 M4A1
The older EVO hop-up from VFC - L403A1

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello everyone,

My mag has a leak, I changed the gas route but nothing changed.

When I put a CO2 shell in the mag there is a very little leak and when I press the rocket valve and release it, it gets even more bad.

Any advice ?

Troubleshooting TM G17 Gen5 Slide Question

2 Upvotes

Heyo!

I’m very, very new to GBB and airsoft guns in general. I tried looking through older threads, but didn’t really find anything similar, so decided to post. Feel free to point me towards older resources if I missed any, though.

I just unboxed my TM G17 Gen5 and racked it a few times. If I rack the slide slowly, there’s a noticeable “hump” or “block” after a couple of centimeters. It feels like it’s hitting some sort of wall within the back half of the gun. If I continue racking, it does “go through it”, but I’m not sure this is to be expected. If I rack the gun fast, I don’t really feel it.

No mag inserted, and the hump is there even when the hammer is already cocked.

I also shot it on gas, without BBs. The slide cycles fine, but a couple of times it stopped just short of going fully forward.

For comparison, my local shooting club (IPSC incl. AA) has a bunch of Umarex G17 Gen5s. If I rack them slowly, they just go through smooth. No humps, no walls, nothing.

I can try taking a video, if it helps.

Cheers.
