Tokyo Marui – AK47 – AK74 SOPMOD
Since I love my other AK SOPMOD so much, I decided to convert my already modded AK/AKM to an AK74 SOPMOD. This replaced alot of crappy ACM parts and furniture I had previously installed, but as always, the TM Internals have been working reliably. New build added the following accessories:
- King Arms – X-47 Rail System
- King Arms – AK74 Metal Body Set (Includes, Metal Body, Pistol Grip and Ribbed Top Cover)
- Classic Army – SLR105 Compact – Front Assembly
- Classic Army – Krink Flash Hider
- ACM – VLTOR AK Stock Tube
- MAG – AK74 Midcap Magazines
- Systema M120 Spring
I had to have the stock tabs cut off the AK74 metal body, to accommodate the VLTOR AK Stock Tube. It fit together well. Other then that, all other parts bolted on w/o having to make any adjustments.
Tokyo Marui – AK47 – AK74 SOPMOD
I did buy an Element made AK SOPMOD Kit which included Tactical Trigger Guard/Mag Release, Upswept Bolt Handle and Selector. This will no be 2 out of 2 Element products that are complete garbage (The first was an Element AK74 metal body). The Element AK SOPMOD Kit will not fit on a King Arms AK74 Metal body w/o modifications, so remembering the frustration I had with the first Element product I had. I gave up easily on this1 and will not add it.

Tokyo Marui – AK47 – AKM Mod
The Tokyo Marui AK47 is one of TM's most successful lines as far as durability, and stock fps and accuracy. The are also relatively simple to work on and tons of upgrades exist.
This is the AKM conversion I'm working on. The following parts added so far.
- Bomber AK74 Real Wood Stock Set
- CAW GP-15 Grenade Launcher
- G&P Slant Break
- Element Ribbed Top Cover
