Cyma X-47 rail: ...sweet dream goes into a nightmare

There are only a few useful add-ons for an AK ... and the X-47 kit is the most attractive and beautiful for the old-styled zombie killer :)

The donor gun was Skylows new cyma cm.040 AK-105. The rails was ordered from ehobbyasia.com for 35bucks + shipping.... it is a beauty :D ....the most attractive rail I've ever seen!!!

I have mounted on the AK and this is the result:

After the photos you think it was a good deal and next week you will order one. DO IT! the rail looks great, it is made of  good quality aluminium, the black finish is permanent and it coats well the metal. BUT! the fitting.... hmm.... fuuu.... the gun is cyma, the rail is cyma... so cant be any problem we think! ...There are huge problems with fitting!!!! The  final fitting/mounting was a result of an 3 hour handcrafting! mount, unmount, drilling, melting, refitting, mount again and unmount again, drilling, melting, refitting... again and again...

 A "tactical" spacer need to be fit on the front of the body...

 You have to cut the gas tube on the front!

 and in the back too!

 and the rail need some fabrication too!

...a very huge fabrication. The silver material color shows, how deep you have too remove aluminium from the rail.

I really don't know what the cyma engineers have done in the factory. I have tried to fit on my cm.050 too and the result was more awful. You order the rail if you have good crafing skills and you have enough passion. The quality and looking of the rail is very good for this price against any M series rails... 5/5 star.... but the fitting is -2/5 star :D
