Just got my Hudson Ak out to compare with the Denix version and was very shocked

The geniuine mags and bayonet will fit in the Denix but not on the Hudson

Post by Spencerman

From what I have read, the Hudson model doesnt fire any better than the Denix version!

Not sure if my Hudson gun is actualy a PFC gun or just a replica??

It was bought used around 10 years ago

I picked up a couple of these for film/theatre use... they look fine, feel a bit cheap, but hey, so do some AKs... mag rattles a bit, but stays in. Good to know that a real mag will fit. Will it fit when loaded with dummy rounds, I wonder..?

Real mag fits like a glove with no rattles etc even with dummy/deact rounds.
Bayonet also fits with no modifications

I owned one of the Denix AK-47's and i'd say they look ok, and feel ok. Yet, that they don't have any form of realistic mechanism (nothing in the receiver, no gas piston, no working magazine etc.) totally made me sell mine.

I also used to own one of their MAC's, and while the mechanism was nicer then the AK it's quality was really bad. I broke the cocking handle of the [plastic] bolt in no time.

IF they were more durable and had a somewhat realistic mechanism i could easily ignore the somewhat rough finish.

I've seen quite a lot of the Denix Luger and 1911 and they all seem to be broken.

I must however say that for the price i paid for the AK it was pretty ok, i'd just rather pay more and have it more realistic

I hope to be able to check out their Thompsons someday.

2Sharp, that happened to me with my Mac 11 back in the nineties. I got one as a birthday present and kept 'snapping' it back with my palm, instead of my fingers. This caused the plastic bolt to snap away from the plastic bolt reciever and that was the end of my fun

I later owned the KSC Mac 11 gas blowback, which had a removable bolt that had to be turned and 'clicked' to secure it. Much stronger and never gave a problem. The constant jamming did though.

Have 1 of each of the Thompson models on the way so should soon be able to post some pics

Internals of my Denix AK47 do look almost identical to my Hudson but agree that a bit more detail would have been great but again i say depending on what you want the Denix Ak is very good for the money.
If you were a reenactor i bet you would rather be running around with a Denix and not your £400 PFC gun

Post by 2Sharp



Looking forward to the pics

Roger on the Hudson AK, didn't the Hudson SE version have a more elaborate mechanism?

Totally honest, if i were re-enacting i would take what was the most realistic, but i do see your point

Yes. The SE version of the Hudson AK has considerably different internal components that make the SE version the "best" and most capable of firing of the entire Hudson AK series.
