According to experts, many owners of airsoft and cooled Kalashnikov assault rifles sooner or later have a desire to give their shooting product a spectacular external entourage or improve technical characteristics. For the attention of consumers interested in the correct tuning of the AK 74, various technical solutions are presented on the shelves of specialized stores. You will learn how to change the standard AK in this article.

What can be used for chilled samples?

In an effort to improve the tuning of the AK 74, the owners equip the machines with the following elements:

• Cold sighting tubes (THP) with a diameter of 70 mm. The total length of the product is 195 mm. With this device, it will be possible to shoot from a chilled 7.62 mm AK. The price of THP is within 5 thousand rubles.
• Special nozzles for firing blanks. The product is an alternative to the muzzle brake -compensator. It costs 60 thousand rubles.
• Bolt handles, the task of which is to ensure quick reloading of weapons. It costs 900 rubles.
• Fuse boxes. In Soviet-made AKs, they were placed in such a way that the fighter had to take his right hand off the handle to switch. With the new device, this procedure has been simplified, and the tuning of the AK 74 has become more modern. Price - 800 rubles.
• Translators of the fire mode. Thanks to a special protrusion, the arrow is more convenient to operate with the index finger. In this case, it is not necessary to remove the right hand from the forearm. The translator costs up to 2 thousand rubles.

About tactical game shooting model

According to the reviews of the owners, the airsoft AK 74 is very similar to the original version. The non-combat model is just as well assembled and reliable. The Kalashnikov airsoft gun is quite fast-firing and provides the projectile with a high flight range. Like the combat analogue, this model, if necessary, can be set to fire in bursts and single shots. Metal and natural wood are used for production. Combinations with durable plastic are also provided. Within a minute, from 700 to 800 shots are fired from the AK. The projectile flies at a speed of 150 m/s. It is possible to improve the performance and tuning of the AK 74 through some design changes.

What do experts advise?

Those who decide to make the airsoft model more powerful should replace the standard spring with a stiffer one. Its power is also affected by the number of turns. Due to the fact that after some time the spring will still stretch, sooner or later it will have to be changed. Judging by the numerous reviews, after such a replacement, the machine cannot provide a high rate of fire. However, this is fixable. The owner, in addition to a rigid spring, will have to equip the weapon with a battery with increased voltage. Since the energy will be consumed more, the battery will require a battery with a larger capacity. According to experts, it is not difficult to improve compression in AK. To do this, you need to equip the weapon with a thinner barrel with a more polished inner surface. This measure will significantly increase the accuracy of the battle.

AK 74 "Kit"

According to military experts, Kalashnikov assault rifles will be replaced by new rifle models in the near future. In the meantime, design work is underway to modernize existing machines.

As part of the new program of the Ministry of Defense called "Kit" AK 47 has undergone some design changes. A weapon with a new handguard made from glass-filled polyamide and a cover for the receiver. The weapon is equipped with day and night sights, a laser designator, flashlights, etc. The machine has four standard Picatinny rails.
