ICS has sent us some exclusive images of the soon to be released ICS AK74-M and AK74-S which we covered on the news section back in March 2007. It looks like these will be available to customers either at the end of August to Mid-Septemer. Right now we don;t have any pricing or other features of the gun, but as the saying goes " A picture is worth a thousand words!"

I'd be more excited if the last two ICS AKs I had to work on weren't such utter bastards - and the cool bolt was really the only thing I really liked about the ICS design.
So these don't really strike my fancy - plus I'd be willing to bet that they're still using that silly "plastic reciever with a 1mm thick covering of metal" thing.
Still, if they've sorted the horrid shimming and piston/pistonhead/cylinderhead/nozzle/wiring quality issues, it might be worth a look.

Hmmm...
Was hoping for a proper AKS-74 rather than AKS-74U when I read AK74-S (that'll teach me to not visit the site for long periods, heh), but it still looks pretty cool. So do most of those AK-74-Ms. They definetly seem tempting.

I'm quite happy with what I'm seeing a proper 74m (that actually has the folding stock) and as for the....74s i'd be happy with it after burning that wood, it looks terrible. Also have they put the battery connector in the worst possible place imaginable? Why put it there out of every where?

That AK 74-S...mmmmm.
Not sure if this is the place to ask but is there any chance of making one using parts already available? Is the gun already on the market under a different manufacturer? I've really started liking the gun since watching Goldeneye the other day

Hopefully the AK-74M parts will be available in kit form. I have sent many emails to ICS regarding their abandonment of the AK crowd and they have suggested that kits for their original "AK-74M" might become available...

The ICS/A.E MP5 is not that bad of a replica, I would complain about the single stock securing screw the most.
But I digress. Meh, AKs aren't my thing. But that little Krinkov would be sick with GBB and gobs of kick.

you are correct
I'm with DarkLite, I owned an ICS AK74, it was a complete and utter disappointment, the metal wrapped around plastic receiver BS made me so angry and deceived as a consumer, internals were rubbish too.
but I guess companies can change.... right?

Now you just need to get one of those "AK74M"s take out the gearbox and hop up, bodge in a CA hop up and slap a CA gearbox in it and it'll make a great AK100!

enjoy spending the extra cash you would have dropped on a VFC on "upgrading" the ICS to the point where it actually works

I've never owned an ICS so I'm asking purely for educational purposes, but I hear folks running them down all over and I hear people that 'invest'(?) mucho dinero into them and love them.
Although I believe they are a Taiwan product, wouldn't they be equivalent roughly to any brand of chicom "clone" product that folks are raving about for the past year or so? meaning they likely require the same care and upgrade to gearbox, etc to make them as 'reliable' as their Japanese counterpart?
....and would also make them analogous to G&G, CA, so on and so forth?
Slainte!
