A look at the DBoys AK-74 (RK-06) that Tanie Militaria have in stock...

Another round of unboxing and review by Airsoft Mike as he checks out the WE Airsoft AK-74 Gas Blowback Rifle. This usually has a muzzle velocity of 400-440 fps so better get ready to downgrade it to meet local limits... "The awesome people over there at SWIT Airsoft decided to send me a WE AK-74 GBBR! How do you think the review went? Well, sit back and enjoy another Airsoft Mike, airsoft unboxing!"
KWA got the AK-74 in both Electric Blowback (EBB) and Gas Blowback (GBB) editions. Airsoft GI's Aaron does a quick comparison of both in this video... "In this video Aaron goes over the KWA AK74 in the GBB and ERG configurations! A quick glimpse at what the recoil AK world looks like from the handiness of KWA."
QSAirsoft reviews the Echo1 Red Star CPM AK-74 which is appearing once again at airsoft retailers. This AEG has a side folding skeletal stock and has an initial muzzle velocity of 380fps. Inner barrel is 6.06mm and comes with a 550-round High Capavity Magazine, 8.4v Battery and Charger. Now, if he can only properly focus his camera, then the video would have been better.
An interesting rifle which is a rare one to find nowadays, gets the into the hands of Larry Vickers for this Vickers Tactical episode, the Tula AK-74... "Larry gets his hands on another super rare gun, this time its a Tula Arms made AK-74, manufactured in 1981. If you're a gun guy, especially an AK guy this is a can't miss video."
Larry Vickers is a fan of the Kalashnikov rifles for all the reasons that make them the iconic rifles and as a weapon of choice of many around the world, good guys and bad guys alike.

Flanker of Ballistic Tsunami wanted us to post this blog entry from The Firearm Blog about an AK-74 bullpup conversion kit which we have read about from the same blog yesterday. This kit allows the shooter to go from a more compact profile with the conversion kit especially for tighter areas just by folding the stock in which the process does some magic to turn it into a bullpup. And from there, it's easy to put it back to full rifle length again.
Airsoft GI's new product for you to think about... "The Vector Arms Full Metal VMG -74 is the latest addition to the Vector Arms line up of AEG. The receivers are solid metal and the stock/pistol grip/hand guards are made of a durable ABS plastic. In addition to the fantastic construction of the body Echo 1 has added the full size side folding stock for easy storage and maneuverability. The internals are the same as the other Vector Arms AK's so you know it's well made.
