I was also planning to modernize my 74m but after handling it, I quite like the stock handguards. I did put on a repro tws dog leg rail which was a perfect fit. Just need an extra part from the same manufacturer to affix the hinge. Can't quite put why I like it almost as is. Not even the stock TM AKM's handguards could stop me from putting a dong on it. I'm waiting on some paints to plumify the 74m furniture and to fakelite the mag.
The stock hand guards are useable, I just prefer to have a light and a foregrip. An optic rail is definitely crucial though, I hope someone makes a B-33 for VFC soon. Dongs hand guards are funny looking! Maybe VFC will make plum magazines? Plss vfc..
since you mounted a side rail, i would consider a stock recoil pad, it just slides on and makes the stock much more comfortable + adds a bit more distance from face to the optic which is lovely for taller guys. love the video!
To a certain extend, I typically only review replicas that I am interested in! Unfortunately the HK53 isn't my priority right now. I am working on the SR16 though.
@ I actually own the vfc sr16 coincidentally, mine didn’t come properly lubed or oiled so all of my controls feel rough to say the least and need a little breaking in and perhaps more lube. I hate the classic a2 pistol grip so I switched mine out for a more beefier one to accommodate my hands. I’ve also been having issues with the bolt release and it’s hard trying to explain it, for example, sometimes the bolt will lock back and the left bolt release will stick out as usual, but my ambi bolt release will sometimes not pop out with it? this results in the bolt release control being stuck and my BCG being stuck in the buffer tube. I fix it all the time by just lifting the ambi bolt release and putting it “back in sync” with my normal bolt release. I don’t know a lot about gun internals but that’s the best way I could explain it
@@_kendo_8772 Interesting, it's a little hard to picture what's going on without having it on hands to check for myself. Mine has been great! I changed the grip out for a BCM.
So, wait for the tactical version from VFC rather than depend on Evike? 😊. So wanted to buy this but hoping later variants have the fixes/learnings/better QC…
chay i have come to the conclusion you definitely dabble in a bit of tarkov, in the chance that you do, do you like the new zombies event? i finished the quest line last night 😂
Haha I sure do! Unfortunately I haven’t found the time to play the zombie event, which really sucks because I’m a big fan of zombies! Combined with Tarkov mechanics sounds like an amazing game.
@@male_walk Sort of, TH-cam doesn't specify what category Airsoft falls into in their guidelines, so it just gets clumps in with firearms. I do it to make it clear that although these are very similar, they are nothing more then Airsoft replicas to protect my channel.
2024 MOA is in a few days, what are you hoping will be revealed? I'm hoping for a VFC AKS74U!
yeah same, maybe an AKM too
yeah mannnnn same here. I really hope the AKS74U is revealed and released soon. Personally use smg/smaller platforms the most.
@@RawkShotTV Me too! I prefer shorter length platforms since barrel length doesn't matter for Airsoft.
If aks74u gets released then bye bye to my wallet ig
Probably not a popular opinion, but just give me a simple V3 M4A1. I've been waiting for it for ages!

@@tlovespln I’ve heard of them, I’ll look into it! Thanks man.
Great video! I hope someone will produce some rails/handguards that will fit on a vfc ak right out of the box in the near future
Thank you! Me too, especially the Zenitco B-33.
Fuckin love ur vids man,
Nice simple and straight to the point without being boring
Keep up the good work man
Thanks man, that means a lot to me! I’m really glad you are enjoying them!
0:30 loool you can see how wobbly the stock muzzle break is during firing especially when slowing down to 0.25 also bolt bounce.
Bolt bounce is okay as long as it doesn't double feeds.
Vfc have designed the nozzle to also have a slight forward spring to negate any functional issues from the bolt bounce.
@@Jakalamenmen Exactly!
i don’t know if you consider requests, but i would love to see a vfc umarex hk53 gbb review and shooting from you.

It works, but I was dissapointed because their product page shows the product having the trademarks, what they sent me did not.
I wanna buy one of these but, for the hand guard, what does “filing” mean in terms of this?
@@Aswadyer Like sanding it down.
@ alright dude thank you so much!
@ Glad I can help!
Does this B-13 clone sit tight, without wobble, and does your optic hold its zero on it?
Yes, once I tighten it correctly, it held zero!
Is the rail a tight fit after filing and fitting?
Yes.
Good video! btw wanna know is there any available Zenitco PT stock for this AK
Thanks man! I’m planning to buy the 5KU PT-1 stock for the future AK releases.

Got a question, does claiming that this is airsoft replica really works?
Works for what? It is an airsoft replica.
@@Airsoft_Chay work for youtube? because I think you claim it because youtube demonotize gun tubers

Looks heavy 😅
It’s a little front heavy.
tarkov!!!
I hope u can test gg levar 15 hah❤
Unfortunately, I'm not interested in that replica.
modernizing to circa 2013
I don't understand haha.
Too bad they're all out of stock
I'm sure they will make another batch.
@@Airsoft_Chay Here's hoping.
stop this propaganda bro I missed batch one
Don't miss it again! Jokes aside, it will probably sell out quickly so be sure to be on the lookout.
@@Airsoft_Chay The worst part is I didnt even miss it, I literally only had like a couple bucks before I could buy it and some things came up
@@kilroy5680 That's unfortunate, I'm sure plenty of batches will come out.
@Airsoft_Chay yup I'm waiting on what I will like if they release akm and aks74u
@@kilroy5680 I'm definitely getting the AKS74U.
I had to cary real Ak-74M for one year, and looking how u operate this weapon, i can say only one thing, this arsoft AK complete shit
