AK-47 Upgrade Help
« on: October 18, 2006, 06:10:58 PM »
I have been searching around and I have been researching so I would like to start off by telling you that I tried but I just cant find an answer.

Ok, so, I would like to upgrade my UTG AK-47 Commando (version 3 mechbox) with a M100 spring.  I have been getting different answers such as: Its fine go for it, you need to rewire it, if you do that you will need a new piston head, spring guide ect.

So my most basic conclusion and questions I have come up with is:
1) Can my gun handle a M100 spring without any other upgrades.
2) If it cannot, I know rewiring will solve it.  So can someone please post tutorials on how to rewire it?  My dad can do all the hard work, because hes extremely experienced, i just need instructions like what guage wire to use, where to route it, what connectors ect.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance :)

Not to be mean or anything, but the v3 gearbox is not one of the easiest ones to work on, if you want to know if it can handle a m100 you should shoot a pm to PaulDWog, or call the scottsdale JT. Also is it the full stock ak, or the one with the folding stock?

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance :)

Doesn’t it come with an M100 out of the box?

An M100 will make it shoot 290-310.  And since a UTG is a marui clone, it should be able to handle it. You might want to consider an M110 or M120, because the M100 won't make a noticeable difference. But yeah, +1 for Paul, he does all my upgrades.
