AKS74 Scope and PBS
 

Does anyone know what kind of scopes and silencers are compatible with an AKS74?, or where I can get them online?

In real life PBS 4 and PBS 5 silencers are used with modern AK's (5.45mm round). Scopes is different story. You can use PSO, Kobra RDS, PK RDS and whole bunch of other scopes, as long as they can be mounted on a side plate. Kobra probably is the best choice. Make sure that threads on your gun match threads on silencer and side mount plate is compatible with the scope. Optics can be purchased from ebay or http://www.kalinkaoptics.com/

Dude, this is pretty high priced.. do they have replicas available?

There is one China made Kobra out there but from what I've heard it's cheap piece of garbage. Check review section, I think someone reviewed it.

You get what you pay for. Quit being a cheap bastard and spend a good 200-300$ on a PSOP scope. They are the cat's ass.

I prefer the term "tightwad" thank you...

+1 for getting the real deal. Tantal's is the definitive one-stop shop for all your AK accessory needs. Ordered a Kobra sight a few years back and no problems;

So I have an Aimpoint Clone for my M4. Cost me $65. Its amazing. I love it. Are there any clones of a PSO-1 for AKs?

I had a chance to play around with Guarder made PSO replica, it's crap compared to real thing. PSO optics are not as expensive as Kobra's. I got mine for $80 from Ebay.

I would go with the scope, the more outdoor I play. the more I wish I had some kind of scope for my AK's. you can all get a side mount that will five you a 20mm rail so you can mount just about anything.

Super thanks man. I play America's Army alot. And I love the AKS-74U. There is a red dot scope somtimes available on the AKS, do you know the name of it?

lol, America's Army, that's were I learned to love the AKS-74UN, after playing that I just had to have one, and all the extras, and now I've got it all.

I'm just wondering where to get a rail that mounts on the side bracket on a AK. I'm also wondering if real steel optics and rails will work on airsoft rails.

If you have a DBoys/Kalash or VFC AKS-74UN the RS mounts and Optics should work, If you have a CYMA I'm pretty sure their Rail are a bit different.

You can use any silencer you want on an AKS74 provided it has the same threading (although some purists might complain)

What about an aimpoint T-1. How would that look on an AKS-74U?

Probably wouldn't look right :) but that's just purist talking inside of me.

Unless you are going for the Pollack mini Beryl look, it won't look right on an AKSU.

Besides, the AKS-74U is one of the most hated guns in Russia's army, soldier's give it the nickname of 'little bitch' in Russian. I haven't actually shot one (Only gun I have ever shot was a Maadi folder in Egypt) but because the gun is just a chopped up AK-74, and is not desirable to fire by soldiers, you can see why it's not a gun to accessorize.

The main unit in which the AKS-74U is still in use is in OMON (And some others, but mainly for OMON) , but even then, you can see AKS-74U's with soviet wood, polymer, or sometimes a Kobra, it all depends on the situation.

The 7.62x39 AK still reigns supreme amongst Russian servicemen and women.

Conscript is right, people who can afford and use Western made optics on Russian weapons (eg. special forces) won't use AKSU for their job.

Btw, ASKU is called "suchka - little bitch" or "ksusha - Russian female name" because both words in Russian sound similar to AKSU, not because it's a bad gun. It's a lot louder than full sized AK, but within SMG range it's not that bad of a gun. AKSU was developed for vehicle/aircraft crews, not for regular military use. It's still used by regular cops back home with more 9mm SMG's taking up SU's role. OMON units on the other hand don't use AKSU for the most part, I've seen them patrolling the streets with SU's couple of times but if something serious was going on OMON would show up with full sized AK's.

I am going for the AA look. So eiter a PSO or Kobra I guess..

For the main part though, OMON uses the AKSU atleast in all of the pictures and video's I have seen. Before SOBR disbanded, those guys were the real brawns of the interior forces, and it would be them armed with AK74's and even AS VAL's, hell, theres a ton of videos showing OMON units with soviet Makarovs and Stetchkins still in use, but it all depends on where you go, different parts of Russia are differently equipped, maybe I have only seen videos of small house raids and exercises where the AKSU was used.

Tank and aircraft crews can't bitch because the AKSU is the only gun they are given http://www.airsoftcanada.com/images/...icon_smile.gif, but I thought other forces are hesitant to use the AKSU because of its lack of stopping power and its inaccurate range, 9mm MP5's and Vityaz AK's provide more stopping power because they are in 9mm as you said.

OMON's main weaponry consists of batons, shields and tear gas since they are riot police and are hated by majority of population for that role :) They only carry serious weapons during tours and high risk raids. An old friend of mine serves in OMON. I was curious about use AKSU in real life after seeing that a lot of people prefer SU for their impressions. He told me that they have SU's but nobody really uses it anymore. At least in Moscow they don't. Sergey, that's the guy's name gets regular PM for city duty and had VSS during his tour. There are a lot of good weapons were developed in the last few years, especially large number of handguns but there is one problem, not enough money to rearm armed forces and police.

P.S SOBR was disbanded only on paper, it's called OMSN now. Same thing just different name. They still beat the hell out of anything that moves :)

is this the real deal or fake?

Looks like a typical cheap chinese clone to me.

Yup looks no different than the one you can get from Ehobby
