G&P 587 AK Tactical Conversion Kit on TM AK47

The G&P 587 AK Tactical Conversion kit is a nice kit for modernizing an AK. This specific kit will accommodate wiring a battery to the rear crane stock. With a little help from mechbox.com, it was a straight forward install which I can give equal credit to G&P and TM for the quality builds of their respected products. (G&P does NOT provide install instructions). Once installed it's a rock solid AK giving it an even more evil appearance ;P

I problem to note. The foregrip top rail is almost too high. You can barely see the front post using iron sights. Not a problem if you choose to use electronic optics.

In the pic above I've already modified the kit by adding the Clubfoot stock, GWS SOPMOD Bolt and Selector and a Real K-VAR KFH Flash Hider with -14mm thread conversion.

Conversion Kit Includes:

• AK47 Metal Body Set (GP430A)
• AK47 Tactical Front Set with Grip (Black) (GP468)
• AK RAS Folding Grip (Black) (GP513A)
• AK47 Extended Battery Stock
• QD Sling Clip
• AK47 Waffle Pattern Magazine (Black) (150rds) (GP581)
• Battery Holster to prevent short circuit
• T-Shape Connector Wire for recharge
• T-Shape Connector Set

Magpul MIAD Grip and Enhanced Trigger Guard

This is the airsoft version of the Magpul MIAD (MIssion ADaptable) Grip. This is an airsoft replica of the real Magpul MIAD grip and does not have all the comfort attachments or storage options. But it is an extremely comfortable and well built grip. The Magpul Enhanced Trigger Guard is another Magpul simple affordable solution. It fills that annoying gap between the grip and finger guard and allows for gloved shooting.

Magpul MIAD Grip

The installation was very straightforward. I've installed this grip onto my TM M4 S-System which still has stock plastic body, and it had no fitting problems whatsoever. I also installed a 2nd MIAD on my TM M4 R.I.S with Systema Metal Body, also with no problems. The motor noise has noticeably increased over the stock TM M16 grip though..

Magpul M93 Carbine Stock

This is the airsoft version of the Magpul M93 Carbine Stock in Flat Dark Earth. It's very unique in design and function.

Magpul M93 Carbine Stock – Full View

The modular design is unique in that it allows you to attach rails, storage or mission specific addons. Custom tail addon units that can me added are:

• MSS Battery Pack Unit – Power supply for night vision, range finders etc.
• MSS Survival/Aircraft Unit – Small profile stock with watertight storage.
• MSS Grenadier Unit – Used to store 3x40mm Grenades used in the M203

The unique functionality is you can set it to "remember" your favorite extended stock setting. The release lever is easy to actuate and can be positively locked into position. The stock can expand from 10" in length to 14" in 8 even spaced increments.

Magpul M93 Carbine Stock

The Magpul M93 Stock is made for Armalite style stock tubes. I added a device called the First Factory Hybrid Stock Base to make my G36 compatible with this stock system.

Type: Flash Hider

Proud Noveske Style Flash Hider

If you browse any airsoft retailer, you’ll notice a bunch of mfg’s have made a Noveske Style Flash Hider. I chose to go with the Proud version becasue it was the closest match in color to Falt Dark Earth and it can be either 14mm+ or 14mm-. It’s a solid unit, but lacks the Noveske markings.

Manufacturer: Tango Down (U.S.A.)
Type: Vertical Foregrip

Tango Down BGV-MK46 Vertical Grip.

Is it worth $60+ bux? Maybe, but not for airsoft. I can see where this has it's advantages on a real steel rifle. Once put in place on a rail, it's going nowhere.

Ugh more problems.? Wil not work on the M4 S-System lower rail.?

Nice and well built grip though. Internal storage compartment is a plus too. An airsofter could go with a less expensive vertical grip though.
