Man, those look beautiful, even if the pictures are kind of small (that's how big they are on the site).
They say they will arrive BY December 12! w00t

Indeed! (link is fixed now)

I can't wait for the AK-74M. Man these are going to be some nice pieces of work. I'm torn between an ICS M4A1 R.I.S. or one of these beauties! Agh!

Do you have to ask? Go VFC!

The AK74M have been announced before the release of the first AKs... but the AIMs took me off guard... just when I was about to settle for a unicorn AIMs...

Same here. I thought I would have to resort to the Inokatsu kit later in my life, but not anymore! I've made up my mind, I'm going to get the AK-74M. I'm going to preorder it today or tomorrow, and when I get it, I'll make a video and write a huge review full of pictures and I'll post it here. So... beautiful!

I have a hard time appreciating the uniqueness of the AIMS. That foregrip just makes me ill. I do like the looks of that AK-74M... although I'm going to hold off on all AK purchases till I get a look at the new TM AK.

Seen the videos a while back. I'm more curious about how it performs versus a regular AK.

well, it's a TM.. what did you expect?

I'd definitey go VFC over TM anyday. The whole recoil and blowback is not enough to convince me. And Isn't TM in the high $400's? Or was it $500's...?

I won't go for blowback unless the bolt goes at least half way back VFC just has outstanding exterior quality that far surpasses any other manufacturer to me. The only companies I think that make kits visually more outstanding is Inokatsu and Guarder. VFC is right behind them though. They will probably have the same internal setup they did for the AKS-74 I'm guessing. The thing I'm most looking foward to is the folding solid stock! Mmmm

From what I've read and seen, the new TM is a very different product than that of their past AKs (not just featuring a gimmicky blowback system). I'm not going to write it off as just another TM AK till I've seen and used one first hand... or at least read a first hand review of one.

[Sarge133]

Woah, I had no idea VFC was even making an AK-74M. With me having a long love of the 74M it makes my choice to buy a HK416 that much harder. I can't wait to see it in more detailed photos.

[OverKiller93]

This is the only other picture I have found of the VFC AK-74M (it is on their website):

I dunno, call me silly-

But seeing as how they want a full $200 more for the BAR at the top of their website than WGC and other HK retailers,

Me and my dead presidents will wait for the AK release and save some money at Boomarms or some of the 'independant' sellers thanks.


Good scoop though-







Slainte!

[OverKiller93]

I just found that WGC has the MK43 MOD1 already in stock for $1280.

I'd take a screen shot of the pictures, but they are copyrighted, so here is the link:

I SALUTE YOU!!! Looks like I'm going to have to forget my INO AK 104 project and settle with this 105, but what's the difference between the 104 and 105?

Where are the dummy bolts?
