PlasticMag Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 http://www.mojji.com/jp/fax/fax2845.htm Looks like it's to convert the Marui AK74MN to take the standard AK74 magazines! W00t W00t! Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Looks to me like it's just a cosmetic addon, that fits both TM AK47 and TM AK74MN. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted May 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 I disagree... It lowers the 'locking' parts of the mag enough to where it should be compatible. If someone here can read Japanese... Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Nice. Laylax and TM will make a killing. Link to post Share on other sites
{{RommelsElite}}Pz4 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Looks to me like it's just a cosmetic addon, that fits both TM AK47 and TM AK74MN. Thats what I was thinking too.... but why would they need that? We need someone who speaks/ can read Japanese ASAP Link to post Share on other sites
RSP1 Posted May 20, 2008 Report Share Posted May 20, 2008 Bottom edges bent outwards, front bit looks too far forward to interfere with locking... I'd say it's just to help speedily guide the mags into the gun, not an adapter. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd say it's just to help speedily guide the mags into the gun, not an adapter. I saw a youtube video of this a while ago. Im 99% sure its not an adapter, more of a arredondo magwell kind of thing.

Katotaka Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I can read *some* Japanese... It just says "Magwell" (no adapter) for Marui AK47 Series / 74MN , and the 2nd line of the big text says "Magazine change shortens" Link to post Share on other sites

Fin Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 Dear Laylax, Stop making ugly, ###### and useless products for the Marui 74M(n) Love Fin Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 It almost looks like a speedy reload kit for the Mauri AKs. Like the M4's, just slam the mag in and yuor ready to rock sort of Mod. Or its a conversion kit to take a more wide variety of Magazines from other brands. I wish it didn't look like a cheese grater though bleh. Link to post Share on other sites

How would that work? You'll still need to hook the front of the mag into the body of the gun, then pull the mag backwards. As RSP1 stated, you can see that the item doesn't interface with the magazine itself, it's just two side plates with mounting points for the receiver. This is just a tacticool "upgrade". And it looks like it would also come in handy in the kitchen. Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 I don't know it was an asumtion. Maybe its a whole new kit that slams into the mag well and to remove you would do as a normal AK removal of the mag. THe slap in mod would then house an outer extended quick mag attatch spring piece to hold the AK latched mags. Its very simple and could work but its probably not what it does.

lovecraft25 Posted May 21, 2008 Report Share Posted May 21, 2008 This seems to be just a magwell for the look... LCT produces one for Inokatsu / Guarder / RMW kits too Link to post Share on other sites

No, not really possible. You CAN'T slam it in without severely modifying the receiver to never work regularly again. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 It's definitely just a well for the magazines, not a "slam-in and go" modification. Laylax would never do anything useful like that. In all seriousness, at one point I was faster/more accurate at reloading my AK74 than my M4. It still confuses me to this day how I reloaded it in the dark in a single swift motion. Link to post Share on other sites
Sale Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 This is rumour control and here are the facts: -It's a magwell: Sort of a funnel that guides the mag into the magazine well. -You still need to hook the front and tilt back as usual. -It's not an adapter that allows you to use other magazines. I rarely see anyone use this kind of accessories even in competitive shooting. Look in Youtube at all the AK reload videos... They are fast and almost none (or just none?) of them have magwells. -Sale Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted May 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 The AK's not a platform that needs a funnel, which is why I got all excited. Darn inability to read Japanese... If only it used a normal alphabet instead of squiggles... Link to post Share on other sites
BoE.Solidius Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I am very swift on my AK reloading as well. I gues LayLax think this may attract to the PMC orientated airsofters as I have seen a picture on Military photos of a PMC with a larger magwell. Seems pointless to buy for airsoft though. It must serve some other purpose than just an added range for reloading quicker. Doesnt seem usefull on AK's because you have to bend and latch anyways, I think it would get in the way.

kken Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 it's a magwell adapter to make mags go in n out more like armalite magazines. main headlines sez "super return is formed, magazine change is shortened." the main text to lower right sez PMC operators (i assume in iraq) are doing this to real AKs... or i could be wrong!

BoE.Solidius Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 Yeah I have seen it in the real world. TO me it would seem like a hinderance. But thats because I have mastered the art of AK reloading Link to post Share on other sites
Utty Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think a single-sided AK magwell funnel might be more useful, like the FAL magwell. That said, I've never had trouble inserting an AK mag very quickly even under stress. Link to post Share on other sites
Fin Posted May 23, 2008 Report Share Posted May 23, 2008 So PMCs in Iraq attach cheese graters to there AKs for faster reloading? No wonder nobody likes them.... Link to post Share on other sites
