I fully agree, the SU is a piece of shit. I've fired 47, AKM, 74/74M and the AKS-74U.

The AKS-74U is one of the worst rifles/carbines I've ever shot, even with earpro it was loud. I don't even like airsoft ones anymore lol.


Airsoft ones....... none of this really applies beyond them looking like a dwarf ak :P

First pic looks like airsoft :) Second looks like Osetin/Georgian conflict in 2008 where locals used whatever they had to fight Georgians. Third pic I can't say but guy with AKSU has FSB patch on his belt. Fourth might be airsoft too. Don't let armored vehicles to fool you. Back home it's common practice to have a couple of them at large games.
P.S I actually like airsoft version, own a VFC one :)

I've definitely seen 45 round mags on redalliance in various ak-74s in russian service. Not ak-74su tho

No argument about RPK mags with full sized AK's. AKSU is a different story. People who have free access to F/A stuff, 45rd mags etc. and need a CQB weapon would probably go for a 9mm SMG instead of AKSU. I've seen enough of "police action" back home during early/mid 90's. Most camo wearing "big boys" had 7.62mm AK's. I only saw AKSU's in hands of traffic enforcement and street patrols. Both branches are classified as useless, greedy idiots even by Russian standards :)

My impression was also that the 74u was primarily issued to street cops, almost like their version of a mossberg in the trunk.

I bought a PBS-1 from Huang(airsoftdepot.ca) but the bbs hit the inside of it(from a VFC AKMS). Any tips to rectify this?

Its on tight and doesnt wobble.(does this with hop up in any position)

Have the same issue with mine on my Real Sword. I tried putting an AEG spring inside to hold the foam in-place in case that was the issue. Adjusting the hop-up to a certain point does seem to rectify it occasionally.

mine doesnt have foam :(

Hm. You could always try to enlarge the exit hole on the suppressor so the bbs have a wider area to travel through... that or get a longer inner barrel :/. I'm under the same dilemma.

i'll probably go with a longer barrel :/ so much for sneaky suppressed ak :(

Got my PBS years ago so I don't remember the brand but I had the same issue. Tried increasing a size of business end hole with a dremel, didn't help much. Used longer barrel for a some time but than I just said "screw PBS" and it went to the box along with long barrel where it's been sitting for the past 6-7 years :) Unless you really want to have that 80's Afghan silenced AKM/AKMS look or making sort of a dmr thing out of AK and want to fit PSG 1 length barrel in it just stick to good old "non silenced" AK :)
Disco_Dante, it was made to arm crews and airborne in 80s. Crews still like APS more since it has 20 round mags, capable of F/A fire, has similar effective range but a lot smaller and doesn't have to be carried in hand during emergency exit. Airborne like AKS74/AKMS better because of accuracy/noise level. AKSU was produced up until mid 90's if I'm not mistaken and issued to cops and second line troops who most likely would never have to fire a weapon. There are still plenty of those guns to go around so you never know who Russian government will arm with AKSU next :) All old ladies guarding "strategic" installations back in the day had freaking mosin carbines and nagants. Maybe in 10 years they will have SU's in their hands :) No joke, my mom worked as an accountant at the color metal plant, I had to pass one of those old ladies armed with a rifle every time I came by:)

Why I want a GHK ak

Does anyone make a scope mount compatible with the RS Type 56?

AFAIK.... nope. You are pretty much limited to using railed hand guards or tapping the receiver yourself to put a scope mount on.
