I saw a few of those Akai guns this last weekend ROing the Indiana Section match and they are truly works of art. Right now the CZ is my dedicated Open steel challenge gun. Not ideal i know but thats all i have until i decide to build one. It will also serve as my backup gun at majors. I’ll forever love the CM. Might even lose the optic and comp and shoot limited steel one day with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucreau Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 How many shock buffs are you running? Any issues with the barrel locking up when you rack the slide to the rear? I’ve gotta run 3 buffs in my akai. It’s stroked, but bc of the buffs it makes it a non stroked slide bc the barrel locks in the lugs in the slide when I take any buffs out. Seeing if you have the same issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing if you have the same issue I tried running buffs in mine, up to 3 and to ME, it actually felt like the recoil hit harder and the dot jumped more. I then tried 2 and then 1 and recorded all in slowmotion as well and it seems to me no shock buffs worked the best. I had no issues with barrel lock up at all with or without buffs.

Yeah 1 or none is really nice. Thanks for the reply, I’ll have to get Shay to re tune when I send it back in for its check up to get it to stop locking up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shmella Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 You guys are having extraction issues on newly delivered guns and are opting to fix yourselves??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for me it was maybe 1-2 rounds out of 300ish and with an upright Cmore slideride. Mine wouldnt eject straight out and would get caught in between the mount and the ejection port. I had bought all extra parts before hand and just slapped it in there. Why send it back and wait 3 weeks for a simple fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why send it back and wait 3 weeks for a simple fix? I agree with this. The extractors on these open guns change over time and need to break in. But the Aftec extractors are really high quality and work the extra dollar. It is important to clean the extractor every 1k rounds. Just be careful not to look those super tiny springs that control the extractor tension. Extras are only $5 for 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
af_tt Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 I've been looking at open guns myself. If you had it to do over would you still go with the Akai or maybe go SVI since the price is the same? Pretty gun though, I think Akai is a good dude from everything I've seen.

Sent from my SM-G965U using Tapatalk Not my post, but I would absolutely buy another Akai. Shay has taken care of every issue I have had. I have shot both SV and Akai. I look at it like this SV is a Bentley all the best parts, looks cool, and is top of the line. To me Akai is like F1 its looks cool, is top of the line, but all about pushing performance. Both are high HP machines, but the akai doesnt have all the frills and luxury coatings etc. It has a lot old and new concepts like different comps, stroking, etc. to me more tune-ability always trying to improve. I personally dont care about looks, I want to push performance of the machine. I am sure others will disagree, this is just my personal opinion.

Shay definitely seems more available than the folks at SV. I'll have to get qoute from him as well when I get ready to build.
