MY THOUGHTS ON THE GHK AK's - AK74MN & AK74U GBBR REVIEW

- G'day everyone!
In today's video, I'll be discussing the GHK AK platform and my experiences (good & bad) with the two GHK's I own. The AK74MN (AK103 Impression) & the AK74U Gas Blowbacks.
Everyone told me to buy a GHK, so I did but it didn't go the way everyone told me it would. I've had a bunch of things go wrong with my AK's but managed to fix them all and now I love them!
Hope you enjoy the video!
And check out our TR Merch! Your support is much appreciated! :)

My journey was totally different. Within first 100 rounds, my new ghk ak105 hopup chamber rim along with piece of hopup rubber got cracked, due to misfeeding. It was actually the mag feeding lip too tight, so the nozzle arm had to push too hard and eventually pushed it to the topup of hopup. I found that out a lot later unfortunately. What I instantly did is to replace the hopup unit with maple leaf one, with crazy jet inner barrel. I love them. But i also have to turn the hopup wheel by using a small alley key. That is not an issue for me as I rather want it tight than loose ( hopup would turn by themselves worst case ). Next was externally full zenitco furniture. Looks amazing with them. Later on internal again, I replace sear and hammer with steels ones. Then next was the, steel trigger ( ws single hook ), steel firing pin, steel auto lever, steel bolt ( with heavy recoil kit - the full steel guiding rod ) and full travel kit ( with harder spring installed ). I noticed the ws steel bolt won't work with Samoon hammer, unless i file off a bit top of hammer. I ended up just use the WS bolt come with the full travel kit. Now I have internal full steel except mag level ( nobody making one ), and full travel kit. They work so nicely. I could also switch to original bolt+spring unit+buffer block, any time I wish to. One more thing was I lost mag empty no firing function after switching to ws bolt. I had to file off a bit from mag lever, then attach the little spring ( from full travel kit ) to correct spot on mag lever. Now I have mag empty no firing back. In the end my ghk 105 is a alpha ak beast, both externally and internally. I am very proud.
You can fix the empty magazine no fire function by putting a small spring heat shrink wrap or O rings on the las round lever. In this video its the part with the spring on it th-cam.com/video/-m0pDRwdh60/w-d-xo.html
Im not sure anymore but I know at some point the W&S full travel kit came with a spring to put on it
I have a 105 and so far I have 0 issues with it, everything internally is fully stock, 0 feeding issues other than the times when I point the gun at the dirt and shoot or when I buy a new mag I need to break it in but other than that 0 problems
I'm looking to make a zenitco ak just like how yours sounds about how much did it cost you? And do you think it would be a good beginner gbb or should I start with something else?
as a fellow GBBR user, i love this channel
ayyyyyyyy
*Yo*
I stopped playing airsoft 6 months ago but I was a tech specializing in gbbrs here is my advice
1. Buy TM gbbrs. They just work. All you need is to replace the nozzle spring and anyone can do that hell ship me the bolt and I’ll do it for you for free.
2. Do NOT buy kwa they fucking suck.
3. Learn to fix your own leaky mags it’s very easy
4. Always leave a full charge of gas in gg mags
Edit offer still stands the mws needs a new spring because it’s designed to be run with duster gas but they can run propane if you replace the spring if you don’t replace the spring all you really risk is the spring breaking which is just a downed gun for the day
8:24 I had to do the same for my real steel gun. I bought an Izhmash SGL-31 in 5.45, but it had a smooth 103 style top cover. I bought a surplus ribbed AK-74 dust cover but the length was too long for it to seat so I did the exact same thing and I dremeled off the edge until the fit was perfect.
Man your effort in these vids are really admirable. You're right up there with the kids with 1 mil quality wise if not better. Really hope you get a return for your work mate keep up what you're doing!
Thanks heaps for your comment mate! 😊
Your channel is so underrated dude you have really good work my man keep it up I love binge watching your vids!
You might want to replace both the hammer and the auto sear with steel ones. They WILL break at some point, the sear is likely to go first. If the selector lever is not all the way down when in semi, it puts a strange stress on the sear and breaks it. I have also found that using CO2 loosens the selector level nut as well and it needs tightening. Re the other issues that you have had, the barrel one is quite a common one to have when fitting a new hop unit. Another top tip is DO NOT FILE YOUR Mag feedlips. A lot of people say to do this cos they hurt their little hands trying to load mags and then file the feedlips which results in them being too wide and double feeding and jamming. The main cause of jams will be your nozzle wings breaking or sticking. Round off the wings a little so they are not so square and smooth out the channel they sit in. If they do break, just file them off completely, the aren't needed. Watch out as well for the little plastic rod that holds the shiny metal bolt arm on, it is prone to snapping. Also, only use hard BBs. Think that's everything I have learnt to date. Personally I don't think the W&S kit is worth it in terms of performance. On par with VFC? Wash your mouth out........The issues you have had are relatively minor, and to be honest might have been self inflicted by changing a load of stuff before you have even played with the rifle.....
Thanks for the great comment mate! Lots of really useful info in there. You make a fair point but the 74MN’s output was all over the place 0.8-1.5j range between shots. It was no where near field ready and that was before I had touched anything.
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT fair enough. I didn't have that issue, but I know some have had. I thought that maybe the stronger recoil spring might be an issue. Definitely change out the sear and hammer though, they WILL break, unless yours has been pre upgraded but I doubt it
I just bought a w&s kit and rapid fire kit I’m also devil hunter moding my green gas mags you need a strong gas like CO2 and full steel internals as well as a better hop unit after that it’s a blast
Aww I thought GHK is all around good out of the box. I just own an WE AK-74 Wood which is not too bad. Already bought replacement trigger box set as I am too lazy to make the RA Tech steel set to fit. Power deviation is not too bad, only deviating from 1.4-1.8 joules on .32gram bb.
Range is on par with BASR, able to reach 60 meter on flat trajectory before starting to droop. Only grouping and accuracy are not in 90% group, typical of gas GBB I guess?
Only mods are Maple Leaf Decepticon 70° and Omega Nub with 400mm Poseidon Air Cushion inner barrel
Hello there, nice review.
I'm a airsoft player from Taiwan. My GHK AKS74U&AK74M have been with me for 5 years, and I was almost had same issue as you, like wobble hopup and broken fire pin. but now, they are all replaced with steel parts, shoot smooth and straight.
Due to the QC problem of GHK, many player in Taiwan says, the GHK will be beat down by the new TM AKM GBBR. but for me, my rifle is fine, they'll keep service with me very long time.
Cheers for the AK GBB Players!
Well I think the TM AKM GBBR will be the better and playable BB-Toygun just right ootb.
GHK will me better in realism
Last week I had chance to play with TM AKM GBBR, to be fair, I will own one soon. it's a nice new design AK GBBR platform system, I really have to admire on the Japanese craft design.
@@alexandergranilenko5100 what do you like more about the TM one? and how what are your thoughs about the externals in comparison to the GHK one?
Great video, very interesting !
I never tried GHK AK, but my friends yes, and they all had malfunctions with their GHK, it was often issues from the trigger group, Hop Up chamber, or with the nozzles, I was surprised by all the issues they had, but with a little bit of work, they are running quite good now.
For my part, I have a AKM GBBR from Tokyo Marui (with RATECH wood kit) because I wanted something easy to use, with no issues out the box, and it's boringly reliable, it's 336 FPS out of the box, good accuracy, cooldown resistance is very good (i play with it all the year) and i love the "CLICK" of the hammer down when i'm out of BB's :)
It's subjective, but I'm not interested by full travel bolt carrier of big kick, the AKM from Marui has enough "recoil" for what I do with it, I like it.
I have the same reliability with my others GBBR from Tokyo Marui : MP7A1, MK18 Mod 1, out of the box they're very good.
Until now, no issues with my Marui AKM, and I like the RS type features that Marui put on the receiver : proof marks, the paint, good selector marks emplacement, recoil spring which looks like a real AK recoil spring....etc
I don't think GHK AK'S are bad guns, lot of them are very good out of the box, but I don't want to have to pay for upgrades or replacement part with any replica out of the box because of bad quality control or bad quality zamac pieces or other things.
So, I tried Tokyo Marui GBBR's just for serenity, tranquility, even if no Airsoft gun is perfect, and protected from a breakage one day or another !
But one day, I will try a GHK, maybe a AK74 MN, it looks very good :)
Greetings from France
I would agree here, Marui is not the most realistic, but somehow their replicas (including their GBBRs) just WORK out of the box. I’m no stranger to tech work, but bad QC is a difficult problem to solve sometimes if you have two parts that just ever so slightly off spec. You can remove material to get it working, but if the part is undersized you cannot add it.
I do own a GHK 553, to be honest I have no complaints about it other than the magazine broke before I even fielded it. I’d say the biggest problem with the GHK AKs seems to be that their built from LCT receivers.
Absolutely loved your documentation of your journey and struggles and how you resolved them! I can completely relate with my first GBBR! broke from the first mag and have had so many issues I needed to solve but now it's so much fun to shoot!
Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more of your content 😊
Thanks heaps mate! 👊🙏
Another great vid. Any issues with those nozzle wings yet?
I’d love a 74MN or 74U.
Thanks mate! No, not yet but I have spares ready just in case
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT Those wings on the nozzle are a critical failure point. One will wear down/break off (or both), and this could position the nozzle just off centre which results in a stoppage. The easiest solution is simply to cut both of those tabs/wings off completely and this will ensure the nozzle remains in a central position for positive chambering.
That’s what I was getting here:
th-cam.com/video/pc76mfoRPn4/w-d-xo.html
Yeah I’ve seen it before. You discussed it in RPK video right? So you really reckon just cut them off? I knew these were an issue so I’ve got 4x spare nozzles for the inevitable breakage. And does cutting them off have any unwanted side effects?
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT I believe I did, yeah.
I haven’t had any malfunctions due to losing the tabs. I had to replace the o rings because they seemed to have shrunk and that lost some compression. Then that would allow the nozzle to fall out of the carrier and droop downwards if you racked it without a mag installed.
Problem is it doesn’t have a return spring. Some say that nozzle return springs don’t really need to be there unless it’s a high ROF gun etc etc...however I would just feel more comfortable having one there anyway.
The 553 is close to the AK in design and GHK included one inside that BCG. I always thought if they made a Version 3 AK series it would include a nozzle spring.
You can take preventive measures if you want. It’s up to you mate.
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT from what I've heard the the fix is to leave the nozzle the way it is if you're not having feeding issues, and when one side breaks cut the other one off until you get a replacement, because they still work better with the wings rather than without
Outstanding video! We really like how you implemented the pros and cons and how you managed to fix those issues. Quick note, if you ever need to replace a C clip ever again. We'll send you a bunch for free.
See you on the fields soon!
Cheers guys!
Do you guys have a link...for some reason the discord isn’t showing up?
@@sabitkaja6946 discord.gg/heavyrecoilclub
you are the reason i bought a gbbr
Haha that’s great! Thanks matey!
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT so are you going to get a vfc scar h hehe
I will second this!
You know what, I’ve actually been considering it! But first I need to get an AUG A3 for sentimental reasons..
Oh man...I´m really glad that I watched this video.
I was about to buy the GHK AK74MN and I´ve already heard that the akm version had some issues...but it seems that ghk doesn´t care to fix their projects...
Thanks for the video!
Realllly want to get my hands on one of these but can’t find any in stock -anywhere-
My post is pending on hop up
Did you manage to get one? I cant find any in stock hoping it hasn't been like this for 6 months..
@@way2lazi nope
@@way2lazi yeah good luck. They ship from Taiwan and due to Covid the shippings been slower and or raw material isn't as readily available in Taiwan as it used to be so the manufacturers have to stock up on that. For example, in Germany we had to wait like 1-2 years I think and this June/ July the first batch off Taiwan should arrive in German Retail Stores.
I'm also trying to find one for months, everywhere is out of stock even Taiwan is out of stock 😢
Nice honest review, I have a GHK AK74M admittedly I've not had much chance to use it recently but that's going to change now the restrictions are ending, so looking forward to getting out and using it.
awesome channel, love the cinematography
The problem you show @12:00 in is exactly what happened to me last weekend!
Very nice video,
sadly it seems like whenever a Company reaches a name the demand skyrockets, they cant provide decent quality control for the guns they have to put together to cover the demand.
I definitely agree. I got a used old GHK M4 that just somehow works for some reason.
The newer ones are a bit more temperamental.
doesnt have older GHK AKs the same issues?
I though problems with the stock Hop Unit are pretty common for GHK GBBRs?
@@123456kiste That's the really old ones probably the 2012/2013 ones around those batches.
@@zeppkfw are you sure?
here in germany people are recommending to change instantly the hop unity after purchasing... even the GHK SIG 556 has some troubles with their hop unit
@@123456kiste Even with M4s they recommend to change hopup immediately idk why the stock is good enough.
my next rifle. Thx mate great vid
Thanks mate! :)
Damn, I just discovered your channel and it’s a hidden gem, sent a link to my friends so they can subscribe like I did !
Keep the good work up man 😁
Great video, I bought ghk m4 mod 2 my god this gun is insane with tnt kit the perf are stuning
Sorry to hear that you had issues , I have the ghk m4 v2 and it hasn’t had any issues after 9 months of use. I’ve been looking into the akm or 74u and this video was awesome and informative! Looking forward to more gameplay with this and your WE mp5?
I sure am!! Thanks for the comment mate! :)
My we cybergun Thompson works perfectly out of the box, I highly recommend them!
8:23 this actually might be beneficial as you might be able to fit real steel akm dust covers without modifying them
Get a Western arms system Gbbr my Emg king arms mk18 worked great out of the box and fast forward over 6 months and over 2000 shots later and not only have I only had a few malfunctions which were operator error I still have yet to see any damage nothing has broke the gun has worked flawlessly with no major internal upgrades or replacements . It’s a great gun im glad I didn’t buy the ghk like I was gonna cause honestly I was gonna listen to people all over TH-cam but I have realized they get paid to say it’s amazing nothings wrong with it I’ve taken a million shots not one malfunction when in reality it’s a lie so I really appreciate you being transparent! I know ghk is western arms based but it’s not western arms and just isn’t as good as a western arms system fully
Nice video as always, keep up the good work! :)
Keep it up I kind of lime this detail review on the guns
I’d love to see you review the new Tokyo Marui AKM GBBR vs the GHK vs VFC.. The TM AKM should be flawless out the box.
Love to hear that. TM akm gbbr is out now.
And it's actually amazing out of the box!
It's made out of plastic though... Huge disappointment...
@@adrianradu2332 the TM AK? It's metal with plastic furniture. Which can be replaced with real furniture.
@@OllieTalksAirsoft tm ak body is made of zinc aluminium ( pot metal ) so one drop of the weapon the is dead
I feel like you had really bad luck with yours
I have a 74mn and a 105
The only thing i changed was the poor ghk grey hop up rubber for madbull red ones and i only had the sear break on the 74 after one year and i just couldnt full auto with it…
Overall great out of the box gbbrs for me, unlucky my friend
Keep up the amazing content
My GHK M4 is a fucking beast. I bought it used, it went through 2 owners and I'm the 3rd. Pretty sure it's been several years old with hundreds of thousands of rounds out of it by then. Put about 15-25k rounds out of it and still works with no problems.
I could see why people praised the GHK M4 so much.
Too bad their AK lineup is acting weird.
Is your M4 tuned and whats the range?
@@TheSpiralnotizblock I had a mapleleaf hopup and the jet barrel mapleleaf has. Range is good about 200 for effective range. My WE M4 stock had better range at about 20 to 30 feet more.
@@zeppkfw which weapon do you more recommend?
@@TheSpiralnotizblock GHK. We's M4 lineup isn't very good. Their other guns are good for the price though.
@@zeppkfw ok thanks!
3:35 you should take the safety off when cyling the bolt. At least on the real one works like that 😁
these look fantastic the pk6 foregrip is the wrong way as its angled so it doesnt interfere with reloads
I dont know who told you about the GHK's being ready to go out of the box. My experience with all my GHK's (have 2) is absolutely the same. There is always something to do with them, as any other GBBR :) The only GBB that works flawlessly out of the box for me is TM MP7.
P.S. The TM M4 is something that works flawlessly out of the box according to a lot of people, if you are looking for M4, give it a try.
And that's the reason I went for a WE AK74UN, which costs much less and prob easier to just do spare stock replacement parts.
But don't get me wrong. I love my GHK G5.
12:40 All you had to do was make new loop on broken spring and instal bit longer screw that wont crush spring loop on trigger. If spring have a bit of free space it wont brake :) I got 3 GHK SK and they work fine. Only AKM have factory issue where the barrel hole was made off angle so hop up wont work correctly :/
Lonex gbbr out of the box has a good performance too, all steel internals theres no need to upgrade, mags are lighter too, I own both ghk and lonex gbbr but it was an m4 platform haven't tried the ghk ak yet
Just found your channel and subbed immediately. Good commentary and technical info! Noticed you play in the Netherlands. Very curious which field you play at right at the start of the video at 0:17. I’m looking for Dutch CQB fields. Thanks!
Thanks heaps mate! The first field is in Wehl. www.airsoftadventures.nl
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT awesome, thanks again!
(GHK's) "ready to go, out of the box that you could upgrade if you wanted but didn't really need to"
oh my... where the heck did you hear this from I wonder
10 GHK AKs later I still havent found the perfect receiver that didn't have a loose rivet or a jammed hopup. C-clips, springs and fittings in general are some really cheapo crap. Replace these with generic ones from a proper machinist. The next thing that should go is your sear spring, I've had these fail on me.
Also, CrazyJets are not "widebores". They're 6.04mm which is tighter than factory 6.08mm, widebores typically refer to anything from 6.08mm. Widebores in fact work very well over 2J as they were designed in Taiwan and likely tested as such
Thanks for the tips mate!
the reciever on the ak74m is a little bit longer compared to its real steel counterpart. This makes real dust covers too short to work properly, maybe the front sight block being too close will make real steel covers work, which is pretty cool
I really wanted a GHK 74U and full Zenitco it, but hearing all the issues from players I'd rather stay with my trusty E&Ls. Maybe E&L will release full GBB AK line in the future as they are working on their first GBB gun.
Get yourself some Co2 valves and a Sodastream/Co2 tank adapter (Core Airsoft Italy will sort you out) I want to see your face when you mag dump that full travel kit running Co2 :). Thanks again for another cracking vid. Really apricate the amount of work and the quality content.
Okay okay, you’ve finally convinced me! Haha
I’m gonna start looking into doing the DH mod for the 74U
Nice video dude, what makes you not get a tm mws? More reliable more gas efficient pick up and play, yeah I’ve heard the trigger is a bit mushy but can be fixed. I don’t have either just from what I’ve heard from forums etc
Keep up the videos cheers
Thanks mate! Honestly, it was mostly cause when I was looking for my first M4 Gbbr I couldn’t ever find the TM mags in stock. Then after I committed to the VFC’s it didn’t make sense to buy a different M4 that didn’t share any parts or mags.
But maybe one day…😅
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT makes sense dude, anyway love the videos hope we can get a chest rig load out etc soon 😉
Same kinda happened on my M4 GBBR... was working fine I replaced my M16 stock with a buffer tube and the buffer kept getting stuck so I switched back to the A2 stock and worked for a while then just stopped loading bb's so now its in my man cave as project until I figure my issue out.
Need someone to start a service selling these fully functional with customizable options from the site like how pc manufacturers were
i love how they even replicated the headspace and sth wouldnt fit so i dremmeled it and beat it into place with a hammer features of the ak
Never done airsoft before but I run real Aks and I can’t believe how real these look
TM has made some newer GBB AKs that might be worth a look though personally, I love GBBs but there's a lot of caveats for me using them, especially in the cold rainy country like the UK. I'll probably get one as a show off piece more than anything.
Still, your setups look super dope though, love to see more
The problem with TM AKs are that they aren't milspec and requires a not-insignificant amount of work to make them compatible with current milspec furniture.
But if you aren't planning on changing anything, all you need is a reinforced recoil spring and they're good for green gas.
2:42 Ayeee Combat City Niiceeee
Will you ever be doing a Table Top Tech video on these?
Yeah I think so. But I’m gonna try to do more gameplay videos for the near future since the fields have only just opened here and I just wanna play! :)
charging into the safety on safe is the ick
I’ve owned many ghks. The older ones were much better quality than the more recent ones. The quality control has gone down. If I were to get the most reliable gbbr today it would be a TM MWS. They are amazing and only need a small upgrade for using green gas.
Have 10+ top tier GBBRs in my armory like VFC, GHK, Marui. All I can advice here is to get Marui MWS to blast out of the box without problems for years. Exellent stability and cycling. VFC sucks at hop ups - they can't make it work stable enough. GHK M4 is kinda fine, but GHK Akm was the worst. Even after installing mapple leaf rubber and barrel - consistency remains to be below mediocre. Well, I use them at CQB mostly - so the range does not seems to be crucial in my case, and the decent amount of skill to onetap your foes compensates the lack of range just fine.
you need to upgrade the nozzle too…
@@swcblad I just wish the gbbr would cost lil more but with proper parts installed out of the box, to aviod these annoying quests for upgrade parts.
@@TehSnake586 the marui akm might be your answer, having played both, i will say, for marui akm, you will only need a stronger recoil spring to get started.
@@swcblad the only problem is the smell of the woodparts, which is not allowed for marui due the unique construction.
My TM MWS broke on the first skirmish lol. All it took was a minor gas vent to completely obliterate the nozzle. Second time my MWS was almost 2 weeks after via a simple double feed.
Have you ever considered using Tokyo marui's gbbrs?
On the 74u you said you put the full travel kit in? But when you opened it up I don't see the little metro coil they provide for the magazine empty lever. Do you think that messed with your reloads?
Do 7.62 mags work in the 74u wich would be 5.45?? I am thinking about buying a ghk but i like 47mags more.
yes

Hi! Great video, Can you show me information of adapter and Zenitco stock for AK 74mn ?
So is that a b13 rail that typically mounts to a dovetail/side rail? How the heck is it mounted to the lower handguard? Very interesting.
This is kinda an odd question but where did you get that handguard? I could only find the IRL one
Where did you get yours? From what I have heard its mainly Samoon and I think they might be in stock on AST Airsoft Taiwan but theyre not shipping to a lot of European countries still cause of Covid restrictions or something
Now you need the rapid fire kit for your 74u
Homie bought an AK and thought he wouldn't have to get the Dremal out 😂😂
What are the exterior parts that you have on the AK74MN also what weight bbs do you use is it 0.4 or 0.36
I'm having trouble finding the parts you talk about switching out, by chance could you link them?
Where do I get your handguard to be able to keep the wooden furniture?
You should do the devil hunter mod to your mags
Typical maintenance for the modify PP-2k, is anything that isn't metal on the inside, make it metal, then drown it in silicone oil
What is your chestrig name? Thanks! :)
What scope do you have on your ak 74mn ?

I cannot take it the lack of quality control for the price, nice ghk I liked it but it ended up being another smash n pass. I have the same issue of the block an outer barrel out of place n couldn’t make my chamber fit I even ruin the chamber because of how frustrating it was to instal, I installed it but can’t dial for shiit
Sorry to hear that man… Yeah I agree that it’s extremely frustrating
Have you tried to do what I did? Screw the outerbarrel in and then modify the dust cover?
Hope you can get it working!
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT yes said I’d give it a shot, how’s yours holding off do you have to tighten here an there?
Since I’ve made the modification the replica has been working fine
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT I tried what you did but didn't work. It sold on ebay
You basically did exactly what I wanted to do with this ak so I have to ask, how much did everything cost?
Oh man. I don’t keep track of costs otherwise I would probably stop playing 😅 but safe to say over €1200
I love my gbbr tokyo marui mp7.
Man I just wish I could find a place that has ghk 74u in stock.. feels like I’ve been looking forever with no luck
I’ll pray for ya mate! Hope you get your hands on one soon! :)
There are 5 on samoon I believe. $480 us
God i love Gbbr's. wish they made a mod to hpa one. external line and aeg mags, not tapped mags. Thats not daytona xD Would love to own an gbbr someday! Also, maby most important haha, great videos!
yeah the closest youre going to get to that (at least to my knowledge) is going to be daytona kits. Unfortunately those are out of most peoples price ranges.
@@ultrarat9632 true, thats a bit to expensive. But even gbbr’s are expensive of you have to get all the mags aswell, like 50-55 euro for 1 mag is quite undoable atm😂
Alyan airsoft made a system like this for the we m4 and scar.
Hello, I wanted to buy a GHK AKS74U and hearing theses fixes is something I could do and replace. What was the upgrades and links that you have to upgrade the guns, because I wanted to run a TARKOV Bear kit from Battlestates movie from Tarkov and run that as a kit for airsoft games. And was wondering if it was well worth it.
How did you manage to keep the barrel aligned while screwing on the barrel nut?
I do remember that being a challenge but honestly I can’t remember exactly who I got it
Where can i buy a w&s full travel kit, ive bought the same ak but i never liked the fact that it didnt have full travel so if you could tell me i would be very grateful🙏🏻
Looking to get either a GHK 105 or a GHK 74u what would be your advice and things to go with when using these?
I love my 74U but the short hand guard can be a little annoying if you’re planning on mounting stuff
Did you have any issue fitting the maple leaf hopup? Mine doesn't want to fit, The little lip on the wheel that goes over the o-ring isn't able to fit underneath the metal part of my receiver.
Yeah it was tricky to get in for sure but they both went in. I’m not sure why yours won’t. However they did sit a bit too deep into the barrel like I said in the video and that made the wheel difficult to adjust
I have mine fitted but without the O Ring that is meant to go over the end of the barrel to keep it in place - try that - they are finicky to fit. Once its in place it is lovely and worth the effort
In contrast to total recoil's issue of having an outer barrel 1 rotation too loose, yours might be 1 rotation too tight. You may have to undo your front end and test. A good way to test fit is to undo the outer barrel but completely seat your inner barrel and hop group, then tighten the outer barrel group until it won't screw in anymore.
@@commiebearairsoft859 I don't think so, I'm pretty sure i checked it without the outer barrel and it still wouldn't fit i think either my replica might be slightly off spec or the maple leaf hopup. I'll recheck to make sure.
@@commiebearairsoft859 I know but its shooing absolutely fine so I am not going to mess with it
Ghk it’s better then Vfc?
GHKs externals are great, but I can't get over how they only provide a dead trigger instead of a click on empty. That, and the awful hop ups, that after about 10 generations of redesigns, still suck.
Question.
Can the AK-74 and the AK-47 use the same mags?
YES
Bro, im trying to get into airsoft here in the netherlands, which fields are good n open?
That’s great! The names of the field are in the description of my videos and are all in NL. So if you saw a field you liked in one of my videos then maybe you should try that one. Goodluck! :)
Not related to this but. Do you guy recommend a Gbbr for a dmr built and if yes, which one would it be?
I can only really recommend what I know works and I’m sure there are plenty of great ones out there but my VFC 416A5 with the tnt-hop up and barrel shoots really nicely especially with the higher DMR FPS and .40BB’s. And the hop up is the easiest to adjust on any Gbbr which is a huge plus.
I run a WE SVD as my primary, with a 6.02 barrel and a maple leaf bucking. Amazing hop, incredible kick, great accuracy and range. That is, after I addressed the issue of wobbly mags, cause before that it was ridiculously inconsistent. As he said, I have yet to find a GBBR that works perfectly out of the box.
Yeah, you can run GBBR DMRs, and they can easily outperform AEGs due to instant trigger response and no issues with cylinder / barrel volume ratios. But you need to carefully choose the platform and upgrades first, 99% of GBB upgrades out there are actually detrimental.
where do you get all these parts for your replicas?i am strugglling to find parts for my vfc...most of them are out of stock if i manage to find them :(
That is one of the reasons I use GHK, part availability. WE-Tech has good availability too, but crap quality. I can never find any VFC parts in stock. He doesn't mention it in this video, but probably good to factor that into the value proposition.
what mags are this?
as i suspected,RWA just do exterior reviews
thanks for sharing your experience bro.
here in germany GHK enjoys a pretty good reputation... as being THE AK manufactorer if you want a russian GBBR. Sadly they are not ready2play right ootb just like the Tokyo Marui MWS platform
You’re welcome! Thanks for the comment! :)
marui akm
Anyone know where I can get the upgrade parts for the aks74u?
Mine is a wall hanger done with china junk gbbs
Hi please Green gas FPS or CO2 FPS
Man, dont be so negative about gbbr's..
It's the charm of owning them, repair, restyle, make it perfect and personal.
Only downside are the parts..
Cleaning them, stripping them whatever you need to do, it's always in your hands, you need to gain some knowledge about them and that makes owning one unique.
Yes, it's frustrating sometimes but it think its just part of the deal.. when you want a good replica out of the box without any knowledge, get a aeg and be like the rest of the airsoft world...
Owning a gbbr is something special, love hate relationship but man.. it is fun..
I’m not negative man. Just telling my story as it happened. I share your point of view on gbbr’s of course, otherwise I wouldn’t be making these videos. But not everyone wants to drop €600-€800 on a Gbbr that still needs work and my experience might be useful to them in making a decision
@@TOTALRECOILAIRSOFT sorry man, didn't watch the end of your video..
Yes, I'm an a**hole for not doing that😂
I get your point.. this video is another help for people that can't decide what to go for..
Personally I would say, go for the one you can find spare parts for. Accept the fact all of them will break so rather make it easy for yourself to repair them..
Haha all good man! And yeah, that’s great advice!
Does anybody know where to get replacement firing pin springs? Thanks in advance!
If only there would be a 100% great GBBr AKM..
Seen that in the whole introduction, but why the hell in 0:58 you need to shoot 4 times at 2 metres distance? be sure Im that guy and I would make sure you lose a couple of teeth for that.
i have sub to your youtube but is not showing in my feed WTF com on youtube.... nice video love you videos
and i have a ghk m4 and that rocks just install the npas mod works fine for outdoor and cqb... im happy with mine
Thanks heaps for the sub and comment mate! Shame about YT not recommending you my vids :/
Great review! Can anyone tell me if LCT mags could fit GHK gbbr ak’s? Its only because i wanna fit one of those lct drum mags in my ghk ak (it’s only for aesthetic purposes) i don’t expect it to shoot obviously.
I know it was a year ago, but I've seen people HPA tap drum mags to work with it so I'd imagine that they fit
Gbbrs make more sense for AR15s and pistols and Mp5s and other smgs
