Nooooo! Just about to post this! I'm buying one. Sadly, no fake piston.

nice

How hard would it be to weld a piston on there?

Doesn't the GHK only recoil about half that distance?

Yeah but it's got a small plastic stop in it that really helps to cushion the moving parts.  Mine is realllyy reliable, love that gun to death.  I wouldnt buy a clone tho, I've seen how AGM M4's are and theyre total sh!t, tho I guess the WA's are too.  GBBR's just really need TLC unless theyre a quality build, and so far the GHK has been great.  

Only concern is the hopup which is plastic and the bolt head, tho both of which seem to be made out of good quality ABS.

My GHK has about 2 inches to spare, but that has been taken by a big piece of rubber.

Mines like a semi hard plastic.  Is yours squishy?

[frogfish]

Kinda sorta, I guess semi-hard plastic would more accurately describe it. It's hard, but has some give.

[Cliffor]

Can't wait to hear if this is junk or not. I've always wanted a GBBR, so a drop kit this cheap would be amazing if it's of good quality.

[DamnLion]

hmm, so with the purchase of a Dboys/Kalash AK for ~$150, thats a DIY GHK Kit for ~$300. not bad, and definitely tempting, but I think I'll wait for WE's solution, given their recent pricing scheme

Oh, for gods sake....

WHY DO I OWN A 47??? ;_;

[The General]

Hmmmm extra mags are how much, bb capacity?

[MDK_Marshal]

GHK mags are about £35 in the UK at the moment, so I'd expect the clone ones to be on par with a chineese hicap; IE, £15-£20 when shipped to the UK, dirt cheap when in china.

Though, there's only so far you can drive the price down on something complex like a Gas mag.

[Marlowe]

Given that a GHK needs most of the major internal components replacing with RA-Tech parts, I'm exceptionally wary about this as a 'cheap' alternative.

Expect to budget another £100 or so on replacing the externals with quality reinforced components - presuming it's even compatible (can't view from work so I can't comment).

[snorkelman]

thing is you're not having to spend 250 bucks on a GHK kit (thats a bugger to find now in kit form anyway) in order to throw 90 percent of it away

now you get to spend 140 bucks or so, and if the fire control parts are steel then you actually have a fair few less bits to throw away

buy a new DG or RAT bolt carrier, and a new RAT npas bolt

you might even be able to buy an RAT or DG hop chamber as it looks like this kit is using the old style hop, so the bits you need to scrounge from supplied hop to complete those will have a good chance of fitting..

[ST19AG_WGreymon]

I hope the reviews are good. It's almost too good to be true. I wonder when the DBOYs GBB kit will come out, it has the gas piston.

[snorkelman]

not sure if the dboys has the gas piston or not Only photo of it thus far was an external shot where cant actually tell one way or the other..

Also bear in mind the gas piston will also require a slightly different bolt carrier from standard GHK ones - if dboys bolt carrier is pot metal or cast steel and you want a decent CNC'd one to replace it, then Im not sure if the RAT steel carrier is available to buy in 'can attach gas piston' version as a standalone part?

[WhiteHawksan]

This is pretty interesting as it says steel made I'm going to presume that its all steel, in which case theres a good chance that you can save most of the parts. Will be interesting to see some reviews of this.

They didn't say who makes this one. I thought it was DBOYs, guess not. Supposedly it's cheap, $120-ish.
