Bitter Clinger & I did some trading, the result of which is this Romanian kit underfolder AK. I've been after one for quite a while but couldn't bring myself to pay current prices. I'm not too big on the vertical forearm grip, but it shouldn't be too hard to find a standard one & swap it out.

Ran a couple mags through it this afternoon & it runs like a striped-a$$ monkey! Shoots where I look, too! I'm way happy with it!  SW

Just joined the underfolder wire stock club myself!  Another Legends Replica.  It'll do 625 rounds per minute~ without a tax stamp, or FFL!   N.I.B.  Legends MP-40 with the Legends pocket ace, just for scale. This thing weighs 7-3/4 lbs! Which is almost the weight of the original.... There ain't much left of a soda can, after a finger trigger controlled 6 or 7 shot burst Far from perfect, but I still like! It brings the b.b. gun into the adult realm. 460 fps. I may go after early season grouse with this little buzz-saw- provided I can get well this side of 15 yds....  Regards, Doc Sharptail |

Do you have to thaw the barrel after a full auto burst? That would be rough on pigeons and maybe even rats! SW |

Nope. String'll run low on a prolonged burst~ a good 8" or so.... There's 2 - 12 gram bulbs that are stored in the mag. It's sides get pretty cold, even on a short burst. Direct impingement (open bolt firing), just like the original. Sounds more like an M-3 grease gun (clatter-clatter).... it lacks the spring "twang" of the real MP-40... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

I must have been thinking of those old Freon powered BB guns. They'd have frost on them after a long burst. Can't use them anymore - Freon causes global warming...  Nice shooter! I'd like to play with one!  SW

A little spendy. Caught this one on sale at Cabela's for 255.99 cdn. I can't recommend someone going out and laying money on one just yet... The zig-zag path b.b. mag has some serious feed issues. Word on the GTA is Umarex will be coming out with an improved mag. I get around it by loading 12-15 at a time. It's sposed to hold 50-60 of them b.b.'s. I'll be patient with mine for now, just because I like it so much.... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

O.K.  Got the feed problem solved. Read the manual, and found the mag has to be straightline vertical up-side down to get the b.b.'s to take the correct zig-zag pattern path. I made a tool out of coat hanger wire to hold the follower down~ it makes the loading job 375% easier Got through 3 mags tonight without a single feed hitch! I'm gonna go ahead and give this 2 thumbs up! Anyone thinking of buying one should! Lest these go the way of the Gletcher Russian mare's leg, or the broom-handle Mauser. Mine's eerily accurate at ten paces in semi-auto mode. I put ten b.b.'s into 1/2" on centers tonight on freshly installed C/O-2 carts. This thing deserves to run on high pressure Air! I have to keep an eye out for spare mags coming on the market.... Regards, Doc Sharptail |

Got through another 3 mags without a jam last night  3 Mags on one soda can at 8 paces. All 156 shots connected. I was running out of places to shoot at on this can...  Results of a 12 shot burst on the bottom of the soda can. Most, but not all, penetrated. There's a couple that landed on the can rim and bounced off. The b.b.'s I'm using will spark when this happens. Odd that steel b.b.'s would spark against aluminum.... I'm havin a ton of yucks with this thing... Regards, Doc Sharptail |
