chas Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Gunners has had several Unicron complete AEG replicas of AK74 polymer, AK74 polymer skeleton, shorty versions of both and more on "coming soon" for quite a time. Now they are all in stock and for unicorns "flat rate": 135$!! Check'em out: http://www.gunnerairsoft.com/catalog/ Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Based on Unicorns brief history, I think I'll pass on these. Link to post Share on other sites
Beast06 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 The actual Unicorn stuff is fantastic, easily one of the best quality stuff you'll get from the Far East. It's just that the build quality of them isn't good from some specific places. I ordered the AKS-74U from Gunner and it wasn't built well and kinda fell apart, but when it's built well, it's great. Wish they came out with some more wood based AK's. Link to post Share on other sites

Wish they came out with some more wood based AK's. I'll back this up as well - I just got one from RMW and I've seen not one sight of any of the issues in others horror stories. Mind you I've also just had to reclaim my money from Gunner via paypal - it will be a long long time before I try to order from him again [it took all of 9 minutes for Paypal to decide to do it after they warned me it could take up to 30 days to investigate] I do hope RMW gets some of those Polymer 74Us DarkMM Link to post Share on other sites
greatwatermelon Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I ordered my Unicorn AKS74U from gunnerairsoft... Horrible experience. im not even kidden. Took them 2 weeks to ship it out, even when i ordered before the UK ppl. I pretty much ordered on the same day it was released. Took 2 more weeks to come through Custom in a shoddy package, they just threw in the gun into a cardboard box with a piece of paper... and they shoved the bolt/spring/small cylinder into a plastic bag. the spring got lost through customs for sure cause everything spilled out of that bag. and there was almost major welding problems... either than that, the gun performs great and no doubt, the steel is high quality, but I am not sure if I want to go through that trouble with Gunner's again tho...

Beast06 Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 If you were wanting to order a Unicorn, I'd get it from either Airsoft Global or RMW. Link to post Share on other sites
greatwatermelon Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I wonder if RMW will be carrying these unicorn ak's. but either than that... i'm not really sold into getting another one of these yet... Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 If they release those ribbed handguards separate for the AKSU i will be sooooooo happy Link to post Share on other sites
-Drake- Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Strange I got a unicorn from gunners when they first came out and i absolutely love it. never have a problem with it aside from a bit of work in the handguard. The new ones look quite nice i quite like the AKS-74U (Polymer) Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 ah, the "comming soon" ones.. $135? Hmm.... unicorn's aks74u looks nice in retailer pics but from the pics I've seen in the AK picture thread, they look like trash. Literally. I know AKs look nice when ruffed up but it just looks like a trashbin. Someone prove me wrong, please. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted February 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Maybe, but better more trashed up than necessary than all clean like Kalash's or Cyma metal bodied ones (are Cymas painted, BTW? the AKM looks so absurdly black). Link to post Share on other sites
Ming Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 If they release those ribbed handguards separate for the AKSU i will be sooooooo happy Ribbed for extra pleasure? ;-) Link to post Share on other sites
counterassasin Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 http://airsoft-war4.com/ also got these AK's in stock Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Hmm.... didn't notice that Inokatsu Vityaz clone there. I've always wanted one ever since these clones came out with the normal aks74u (just to be different). Inokatsu version (I like the skeleton stock more): RS grips like those are $130 USD last I checked. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 Can you clone something that hasn't been released yet? Anyway plum AKSUs are sexy as hell and i want one, that and 45 round ribbed RPK74 magazines.....Please please please be midcaps, im pretty sure the hicaxxor market has what they need (even those experimental quad style mags were made and these never left prototype stage in real) Link to post Share on other sites
greatwatermelon Posted February 24, 2008 Report Share Posted February 24, 2008 hey, i loaded my review of Unicorn AKS74U in the Reader Review section, incase u were wondering a bit more on the the construction work/quality/performance, etc. I just know one huge complaint i had in beginning was, that Unicorn welded the top cover crookedly to the rear sight. so the cover doesn't shut straight.

mrblah Posted February 25, 2008 Report Share Posted February 25, 2008 so who's biting???????? The new models seem damn nice Link to post Share on other sites
RutigerFoxx Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 They look pretty nice, too bad shipping to the US is so much. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkMM Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 They look pretty nice, too bad shipping to the US is so much. maybe; polymer 74u and maybe 105 - but only if Ting at RMW gets them DarkMM Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted February 26, 2008 Report Share Posted February 26, 2008 I need 1 set of polymer AKSU furniture plus another 2 top hanguards from it, hopefully unicorn will sell these separate Plum RPK74 planning huhahaha! Link to post Share on other sites
-FIDO- Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 maybe; polymer 74u and maybe 105 - but only if Ting at RMW gets them x2 Link to post Share on other sites
Shroomalistic Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 only problem with the polymer aksu is the hand guards, grip and mag are plum while the stock looks black. I cant wait till someone starts selling the stock separate. Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 I really want to get this. But if I do, will someone guide me through any assembling issues? I've had had no experience with AK kits whatsoever so don't know if I should get one. I'm deciding between this and the Dboys Rk03/02 but I hear people say Unicorn is very on-par with inokatsu and inokatsu's are sexy plus its cheaper for me to buy the Unicorn..oddly enough.

Revenge Seeker Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 oopps... Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted March 5, 2008 Report Share Posted March 5, 2008 So... if I bought a unicorn AK from RMW it would be good quality, but not if i bought it from Gunners?? How does that work? surely unicorn assembles the AKs themselves and then send it to the retailers, dont they? Link to post Share on other sites
