External differences between the RPK and the RPK-74

[Coski]

Hello,

Im going to be buying myself a Cyma RPK-74, and hoping to convert it to an RPK, assuming it wont cost too much, as I only have 47 mags. Ive looked online and everything looks identical between the 2 apart from the scope mount on the side of the body, and obviously the magazine. Am I correct in thinking this?

If not, do let me know. Any constructive advice would be sorely appreciated .

Not sure on these but I THINK you can buy an AK scope rail for it and the mags are compatible in airsoft.

In real life they are externally similar except for the pistol grip and hand guards (giant ass pictures so you can look mega close):

RPK


RPK-74


In airsoft terms, you can buy AK-74 side mounts and fit them onto AK-47's with modification or buy specific AK-47 mounts. AK-47 and 74 mags are compatible etc.

The Cyma RPK comes with the scope mount rail on the side:



I got mine just before xmas last year and I love it, the only thing that had to be done was change the spring as it came in firing over 400FPS :/

Looks like there's no flash hider on the 47, but there is on the 74
