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$!!

Based on Unicorns brief history, I think I'll pass on these.

Oh no, the cat's out of the bag now, the national security of every country in the Western world has been compromised because we all now know exactly what super secret armour carrier is used by a civilian shooting instructor who works for a company which founded itself as an alternative to paracord and duct tape.

mrk, watch your back dude, Chris Costa's beard is going to come and get you, I imagine in a similar way that Chuck Norris' might, and when it's done with you, Matt Johnson is going to make you a 750D Cordura bodybag (it's innovatively better than 500D and 1000D, naturally), in a khaki colour that's not quite green, not quite tan, not quite khaki. With grey trim, of course.

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.

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 tongue.gif

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...

If you were wanting to order a Unicorn, I'd get it from either Airsoft Global or RMW.

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)

ah, the "comming soon" ones.. biggrin.gif

$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. sad.gif

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).

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.

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.
