They can fit if you mod the rear sight block so it fits like a Yugo sight block, i.e. cut notches out to allow it to sit further back.

As it stands though, only Real Swords can accept real steel dust covers because they are 1:1 with the real Type 56. All other makes of airsoft AK are not 1:1 with real AKs. They all have slightly longer receivers to accommodate the standard V3 gearbox and to help with export, I would assume.

I may go down the modification route, but in the meantime, are there any airsoft AK dust covers with an integrated rear sight?

That's could have been touched up with Krebs Custom parts or maybe even built by them, based on the RIS and selector, and general professional looking job. It *could* be a KC part, or an one-off build.

damnnn.

*wants*


@ztr

This is exactly what I am looking for

Only the AKS-74U models to my knowledge, or if you can get your hands on a JG AK hybrid (KTR-09) upper. Unfortunately, the latter looks like it can only be used with the proprietary rear sight block, but you might be able to make it work with a standard sight block.

Its a Krebs Custom KV-13 Vepr, dust cover has a reinforced back plate to make the dust cover rigid enough to hold zero. Galil style charging handles are easy enough to find, though not a fan.

Don't see many AK's or AK based guns with a rear sight on the dust cover due to issues holding zero (exceptions like Valmets and Galils), most of the time you see custom welded dust covers w/ HK91 rear sights.

Better off w/ a TWS dogleg top cover system tbh and mounting a rear peep.

Its a simple build if you can get the parts, (dust cover withstanding) but Krebs are really meh imo.

Close up of the top cover.

Realsteel covers don't work on airsoft AEG's as far as I know. The lowers are about 1cm longer than realsteel in order to fit in the V3 box - there is no other way to do it without messing up the receiver's proportions to a point where it's visually noticeable.

Your best bet is an LCT top cover (PK-213 if I'm not mistaken) with a custom made rear sight. Or you can spend $60+ to import a TWS peep sight.

I want to try and hack up 416 rear sight and put it on there. Ideally, the future will see me chop off my 105's front sight, put a Krebs Saiga RIS on, and slap on some 416 sights or Troys.

Ah, well that's news to me. Never had to replace a top cover, but good to know. Still, I was assuming it'd be a GBBR build as you'd have difficulty mounting the Magpul MOE grip and an AR side folding stock on an AEG (not sure if the Hephaestus one fits AEGs, it might).

+1 on the LCT cover then, they're easy enough to get and mod. This might help, I had this bookmarked for a build idea.

Why not pick up a surplus G3/HK91 rear sight? They're cheap ($10-15) pretty similar to 416 (heck they're pretty much the same thing) and easy enough to install on an AK dust cover. If you google a bit you'll find a couple of guides as well.

This is an (imperfect) replica of a German MPi AKS-74 NK. Or if you change the mag to a 7.62 profile its an AKMS-K.

I think it may be the best looking AK ever :)

Also has a real steel rear sight and real bakelite magazine (feeds bbs).

Awww man I want that Wire stock. I have the AIMS NV carbine and I was told I cant put on a wire stock on it. I guess ill just wait till I find a receiver with a wire stock.

That is a nice looking carbine AK though! I want something close to that but with a ***** grip in front.

Which one do you have? If you put a wood Romanian handguard set on this rifle (or donkey dong) it would be a Romanian PM90 AK carbine clone.

I have the same one you had 2 pages back. I am guessing that was your base gun for this build? Yeah where can I get one of the receivers with the wire stock?

Looking for suggestions on a different stock, what do you suggest?

WGC company. They sell just the receivers with folder. It's a coin flip as to whether it would get seized by customs or not. I took the chance and it worked.
