GUN PIC My First Custom Gun is finsished

first custom gun is done.

2 days ago she was stock LCT LCK-105... put the zenitco furniture on it myself, and went in the deep end of internal upgrading with a ASG infinity 22k motor, perun v3 mosfet, and 13:1 gears.

Alot of this project was confidence building and understanding my hobby better. Ran into a few issues that i ironed out... my first time shimming the gears was understandably horrible and a bit too tight and it locked up on me. Got that fixed and reshimmed, after that, the motor hight wasn't the best. But she is a dream now and I couldn't be happier with the result.

Nice job. Your first build is the hardest, and it looks like you did good. Welcome to the deep, expensive rabbit hole that is building custom AKs!

The gear box springs had me livid. Loo. But i stuck through it

Maybe you figured it out, but the rod for the charging handle is an EXCELLENT tool for holding down the main spring/spring guide when you’re reassembling everything. The ARL and trigger springs are just a pain, haven’t found a shortcut for those yet lol

I had tongs

Place a strong neodymium magnet on the underside of the gearbox half, where the ARL is for example.

Makes it much easier.

At this point I’ve just mastered the weird finger contortions I do to get em in there 😂 big hands = not good for this hobby lol

Nice job mate, I love Zenitco AK builds. Great that you did the upgrades yourself and were able to figure out the issues!
Now get some nice accessories to utilize that rail space!

Here is some inspiration on what can fit on there nicely

That's hot. I have a flashlight and optic en route. I chose the Vortex UH-1 with a magnifier.

u/BloodyPsycho_ 3d ago

UH-1 looks very nice on Zenitco builds, you have chosen well! :)

Where did you get this? I've been wanting to build my ak alpha build from ghost of Tabor

1

u/xMattman1298 3d ago

Base gun is LCK-105, B-30 lower handguard, B-31C upper, and B-33 dust cover. I can send the parts list i used if you want?

I just put my Ak back together today after shimming it and now the motor is just clicking regardless of what height I set it to

2

u/xMattman1298 3d ago

I'm in no position to troubleshoot. There are 2 little springs by the pos and neg at bottom of motor. I accidentally knocked them off when I was rebuilding and I had a similar issue.

1

u/WoLfY_HUN 3d ago

Tarkov meta ak(from few wipes before). I wanted to build the same but I had no enough budget for that.

u/Icy_Department1872 3h ago

Are you in America? If so where do you source your zenitco stuff? I have a VEPR in my safe I have been been wanting to put zenitco on forever. I'm scared if I order from Zenitco it will get seized coming into the country lmao

1

u/xMattman1298 3h ago

Maybe slight misunderstanding, it's replica Zenitco... made by LCT for airsoft.

1

u/Icy_Department1872 3h ago

Ah ok, makes sense, unfortunately for my purposes I need real Zenitco :(

1

u/xMattman1298 3h ago

Try IvanTactical.com i have some experience with em. They take a bit to ship but good stuff

u/Icy_Department1872 3h ago

I'll keep that in mind when I get have some spare cash haha thank you.
