Supporters Raggedy_man Posted October 29, 2015 Supporters Posted October 29, 2015 Morning folks, I'm looking on starting a Russian load out and was wondering which Russian style guns were best and if anyone new good sites to get genuine Russian kit? Thank you muchly.
Mos Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I am sure that the AK platform is Russian, also the dragonuv svd is Russian if you like to snipe Raggedy_man 1
Supporters Raggedy_man Posted October 29, 2015 Author Supporters Posted October 29, 2015 I was curious as to which brands made the best versions of them. Or to be more accurate who to avoid Happy 1
Mos Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm pretty sure real sword make one of the best ak's out there Raggedy_man 1
beastmode Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Privyet Comrade, where to start. E&l make some pretty awesome Aks. Ak74 is the best platform for a Russian loadout as you can use it for many different loadouts. You can buy E&l fairly cheap on Gunfire.Pl if you go for a brand called Forcecore they are basically rebranded e&l Gen1s with a standard motor, so absolutely solid. Do you know what era you want to base your loadout on? Have you been on the Russian loadouts UK page on Facebook yet? Pretty good advise to start from on that page. Many places to buy Russian kit from but you'll generally always have to import from Russia. It usually takes around 3-4 weeks for Russian post to arrive. Raggedy_man and Zak Da Mack 2
Supporters Raggedy_man Posted October 29, 2015 Author Supporters Posted October 29, 2015 I was thinking late cold war or modern Russia. They are a up and coming force at the moment. What type of AK variant is being used now? Also what can I get for £150 or so?
beastmode Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Modern Russian is fairly easy Digi flora and smerch or 6sh112. Ak74-mn is the best for a modern loadout or Aks-74mn. Forcecore aks-74mn is £150.00 at gunfire.Pl
TacMaster Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 CYMA AKs are also great, I just got myself a CYMA RPK and it's brilliant! They may need to be downgraded as they tend to fire too hot, however I think Gunfire.pl will do downgrades for free if you buy from them. They have a great range of CYMA stuff for decent prices too! @Mos Real Sword are far more expensive and the only AK they make is the Type 56, which is a Chinese copy of the AK. Pretty major differences too, as it has a folding bayonet and other such things. beastmode, Raggedy_man and sp00n 3
Mos Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah, they are quite expensive, however, they're good. Probably wouldn't recommend as of the price, but was just saying they're good.

I think you missed the point- the only AK variant they make is of a Chinese AK- it's not suitable for a Russian kit at all!
Mos Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 China have ak's? Thought they only had Katanas... Raggedy_man 1
Popular Post Sacarathe Posted October 29, 2015 Popular Post Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) That's not China. I'm sure that'd be offensive to some Chinese to confuse them with their historic enemies. EDIT: Edited October 29, 2015 by Sacarathe beastmode, albawarrior, Randymanpipe and 2 others 5
beastmode Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah I wouldn't buy a type 56 for a Russian loadout. As that's china's version of an Ak. Cyma aren't bad either but go for the cm040 and above as these are better build quality and full metal.
Zak Da Mack Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 If you are looking for ideas, I recommend you join the Russian Military Airsoft Loadouts UK group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/247695872078984/ I went for E&L and I absolutely love it, the build quality is amazing. Also look for forcecore and meister arms AKs as they are just a tiny bit more than CYMA, but are on the same level as E&L's AKs. Raggedy_man and beastmode 2
Josh95 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 lll sell you my cyma ak74m if youre interested, its full steel and real wood Raggedy_man 1
TacMaster Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 As for places to buy kit from, Grey shop are pretty good. They have a 'sets' system where you choose the branch of the Russian security forces/army you're going for and then you can choose all the mod cons. They have a generic VDV set, SF set, Recon set and MVD set. You choose your uniform, headgear, helmet, load carrying, boots etc. It costs about £232 to put together a basic loadout for the VDV, hence why I ordered everything separately. Load bearing kit's probably the most expensive stuff to get, however there's a sale on atm which has some decent looking stuff on for cheap. I'd advise buying all the stuff you need at once as postage is quite steep and takes a while. There's quite a large amount of webbing, assault vests and chest rigs on grey shop, including some Russian MOLLE kit. Happy 1
Happy Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Everyone else has pretty much given you the info you need. Can highly recommend the Forcore AKs - very good quality for a very good price. For gear I order most of my stuff from here: http://frontowiec.com Very cheap prices for gear. Additionally it's based in Poland so you don't have to wait as long for your orders which is my only complaint with Grey Shop. Can take as long as a month for orders to arrive from GS whereas with Frontowiec it arrives within a week. Only problem is that some of the more popular items (Smersh rigs for example) go out of stock very quickly due to their cheap prices. Raggedy_man 1
