    I have a ak47 with real wood full metal that i got second hand, its quite battered and the stock no longer folds properly. I also have a second hand taurus pt24/7 that i was going to upgrade from. Which would be a better upgrade. If i was changing my ak47 id get a g&g cm18 mod 1( second hand) or if i was changin pistol id be getting a we g18c gen 4 (also second hand) The g18 is about 110 cheaper than the cm18 and i have very little money. What should i do. The ak will probably need to be changed soon but i doubt i can sell it.
    These are my first guns and i find the ak a bit heavy as im young.

    I'd get the m4 first most of the time side arms a bit of a waste unless you actually skirmish it ,
    I bring 4 pistols to skirmishes but I'm lucky if I use one mid game ,

    Sometimes i like to leave my ak at spawn and only use the pistol as im able to run alot faster with only a pistol

    And in our weather you get rapid cool down and your pistol vents gas leaving you having to run back for a primary,
    I'd go for an mp5 or g36 if that's the case short and light enough to run with.

    A decent sling would be the first thing I'd get and a holster

    The cm18 I hear is light and it's probably shorter than full length ak47s. I am currently trying to sell the Taurus, that has a chance of selling but the ak47 I don't think many would buy.

    Get the ak rebuilt, it will be cheaper than getting a new (even second hand) gun. Upgrading a 24/7 is pointless it's an absolute pain and you need a machine shop and someone with skills to really make a go of it.

    There are lots of options if you wish to change stocks/ front ends on an ak depending on what model you currently have.

    If you are going for another pistol buy a TM! They are relatively cheap, lots of aftermarket parts if you need to repair/ customise and they are reliable for years provided you do a bit of maintenance once in a while.

    If your unsure about rebuilding/ repairing/ custom stuff, then you might bring it to your closest retailer or find some one on here that can help.

    The ak is battered and i see a bargain of a cm18 with holo sight and 7 mags for 230. I like the look of the cm18 and its supposed to be light

    I dont know the make i got it second hand off a lad who works on a site. Its full metal with real wood (pistol grip/rear grip is wood effect plastic) and its an underfolding stock
