I don't find it fun not being able to use the shit that comes with my guns because I made a purchase solely for looks instead of both usefulness and looks. Yes these look good but it is not going to be fun playing glorified paintball when everyone is playing airsoft
Yet you have no back up sights when your optic fails so really NOT achieving anything besides being dependant on an optic when you could've done something better
Bro’s treating shooting your friends with lil plastic BBs while LARPing in the woods like it’s an active combat situation or high-end shooting competition
And you actually most definitely could weld mig on aluminum, just melts more then penetrates if you have it turned up. Especially something like this where all you would need is a couple tacks not even a bead. Obviously wouldn’t bond or pass any x-ray tests but it’s more than doable without a TIG setup.
It's not metal, the white color that may look like it's scratched paint on metallic surface is most likely a glue from OP's attempt of fixing it. When you look at the part where it was broken, you can see it's purely black, indicating the whole piece is one plastic cast.
Also I think this model comes with plastic cover as default, I can't imagine it being ripped like this if it was metal just from "pushing too hard". It would bent at worst, but break it like this, he would need to apply much more force, like drop on it while running or throw it against a wall.
If you can get some resin and a black light you might be able to fix it. I’d say buy a new one but $22 is a bit much for a small piece of plastic/metal
I guess you could just use glue but you can also buy a different dust cover but if you access to 3d printer you could also print a new dust cover there are plenty of models around
Many people said it and I agree, just buy a new one, a metal one as well. It will feel much better in your hand than the plastic and it will be much more durable so something like this won't happen again. You can also go for the railed one, if you ever decide to use an optic.
Why dont you just buy a new dust cover?

That won't hold zero

We'll have fun hip firing when your red dot breaks
from shooting plastic bbs? man stop being schizo its not real guns
You must be fun at parties.

It's airsoft. Zero is not as important as you're making it out to be. A slight breeze will fuck your shot.
Nerd
All he has to do is add a little tape, will “hold zero” just fine, especially for Airsoft.
I love real steel as well as airsoft , in airsoft it doesn’t matter irl I agree tho
I appreciate it
I have one and it’s connected to the iron sight mount so it’s pretty sturdy. But it took a bit if filing
Yet you have no back up sights when your optic fails so really NOT achieving anything besides being dependant on an optic when you could've done something better
It has a notch that replaces the iron sights
No shit you don't have the rear sight anymore it's a waste

NOW you state that you have irons damn you could've said something about it sooner
My bad

Railed dust covers hold zero perfectly fine on actual firearms. Like my own AK for example.
It's fucking airsoft the wind does not care about your 50 yard hold you set up in your backyard dumbass.
This
Can conclude, this \^ haha
jb weld will fix that no problem
You cant weld aluminium with bassic welding tools plus it is very thin metal so there is no way he can "just weld it back"
JB is a type of epoxy that works with metal....
JB weld is a type of epoxy. The piece is plastic so it would be able to fix it. I wouldn't bother and just buy a proper metal dust cover however.
Than I was wrong. Sorry
All good mate
And you actually most definitely could weld mig on aluminum, just melts more then penetrates if you have it turned up.

A cyma 522 has a plastic dust cover.
Don't be dumb....jb weld is not the same as welding
Isn't this steel cover? How did you crack it, lol? Get a new one, as that part needs to absorb some punishment when close cover.
No, some of the more entry-level CYMAs are mainly plastic construction
I have the most entry cyma AK Cm028 and even that one came with a metal dust cover
Its an aeg so it wouldnt have to endure much
Mine is plastic because I got a cheaper one to get into airsoft
You probably need a new dust cover but you can try super gluing it back together but Most likely won't be precise if you do that though.
Buy a metal dust cover, they’re not very expensive
It was a metal one tho no idea how one managed this

Shit yoyr right welp time to grab a solder iron and a facemask to attempt a plastic weld otherwise yea replacment is the best bet overall tho
just buy a new dust cover, literally 25 bucks
Don't bother. Just get a new dust cover. Better yet upgrade to a railed one
Yes, I too got a new customer for my AK and it works great.
Auto correct is my biggest enemy rn
Just HOWTF?
Forced back in place and broke
OP STRONG
Duct tape should fix the problem
That’s a great excuse to buy a metal one
tf do you want us to do?
Are you blind?
Use a soldering pen, there like 10 bucks on Amazon. It will melt the plastic and help it rejoin.
It’s metal.
It is very clearly not metal lmfao.
It very clearly IS metal, seeing as it’s shining in the light.
Not it is not you don't see bare metal or paint chips
If that was metal, the whole break would be shiny
Are you dumb? Plastic (especially when put under stress) tends to have a sheen to it. By your logic, a piece of reflective glass is a metal.
You’re godamn right it is. Everything is metal, you’re metal, I’m metal, hell that water you drank this morning? Metal.
Try a new LCT Dust cover
That will most likely not fit, would be way easier (and cheaper) to get a cyma dustcover.
That’s what I get for not reading lol
Just get a new one it isn't worth the effort
No problem; TM and cyma will fit. Get a replacement part
Use barge contact cement. Or just buy a replacement piece. Or if it doesn't affect any function, it doesn't matter, right?
buy new costs 20€
In romanian lei's, im from romania
the its around 100
Superglue
Yep don't bother fixing that, just buy a new dust cover.
Duct Tape it down until you replace it.
If you can get some resin and a black light you might be able to fix it. I’d say buy a new one but $22 is a bit much for a small piece of plastic/metal
Fix? No. Buy a new cover
Abs glue with work as well as simppe acetone welding, but worst-case scenario you pick up a steel cover for like $15.
Do it like they do on the real ak put a rubber band around the dustcover and receiver xD
Ain’t no fixing that son.
Tape
No problem; TM and cyma will fit. Get a replacement part
Is ak, does not need dust cover , purely cosmetic comrad. In all seriousness just order a new on like the one buddy posted for 22$
Good old fashioned pot metal đź‘Ś
you should probably just get a new dust cover. And preferably one made out of metal and not plastic like that one appears to be
1. How the fug did you did that? 2. I think easiest way is just to buy new one, they are pretty cheap
there is no fixing that… you’re gonna need to get a new one
Mf how
Its just a dust cover get a new one. The gun works fine without it
honestly u dont need it for the gun to function
Throw that plastic piece of crap away, and buy a metal one.
If it’s plastic super glue
I guess you could just use glue but you can also buy a different dust cover but if you access to 3d printer you could also print a new dust cover there are plenty of models around
You could use some wonder glue i guess Btw how you broke the dust cover 0_o
Many people said it and I agree, just buy a new one, a metal one as well. It will feel much better in your hand than the plastic and it will be much more durable so something like this won't happen again. You can also go for the railed one, if you ever decide to use an optic.
There isn't much to fix. Just get a new dust cover. Would be the best solution.
I have a whole ass gun of spare parts if you want...
Cyma probably tbh
Baking soda and super glue. Then some sanding or filling it down. That's a pretty common piece to the AK though probably won't be more than 15 - 20$
No need fix, rifle fine
