After successfully finishing your first build task, gunsmith part 2 is the next challenge players face in Escape from Tarkov. This time, Mechanic requires you to modify an AKS-74U to meet a new set of performance targets. While the weapon is simple, meeting all the stats demands a few specific attachments.
In this guide, you’ll learn the exact parts needed, the requirements you must meet, and the rewards you’ll earn for completing this important early-game task.
To unlock gunsmith part 2, you must be at least Level 5 and complete Gunsmith Part 1. Mechanic will ask you to customize an AKS-74U with very specific parameters.
Gunsmith part 2 introduces stricter recoil and compactness targets compared to Part 1, requiring careful choice of attachments to balance all stats properly.

Below is the full part list you need to assemble your AKS-74U correctly for gunsmith part 2:
| Part | Item | Where to Get It |
|---|---|---|
| Base Weapon | AKS-74U 5.45x39 Assault Rifle | Prapor LL1 or Flea Market |
| Handguard | Zenit B-11 AK Handguard | Skier LL1 |
| Foregrip | KAC Vertical Foregrip | Peacekeeper LL1 |
| Magazine | AK-74 5.45x39 6L31 60-round magazine | Prapor LL2 (barter) or Flea Market |
Important Tip:
After installing all parts, fold the stock to reduce the overall length and meet the 6-slot requirement before handing it in.
Once your modified AKS-74U meets all the gunsmith part 2 criteria, head to Mechanic’s task menu and submit the weapon to complete the quest.
Completing gunsmith part 2 also moves you one step closer to unlocking Gunsmith Part 3, which continues to escalate the difficulty and complexity of the builds required.
The extra wires, bulbs, and capacitors you earn are extremely useful for Hideout upgrades early in the wipe, saving you both Roubles and market searching time.
Finishing gunsmith part 2 gives you a solid grasp on balancing recoil, ergonomics, size, and tactical attachments—all vital skills for surviving in Escape from Tarkov. It’s also the gateway to more advanced tasks and better gear from traders.
If you want to speed up your progression, unlock traders earlier, and complete all Gunsmith quests without the grind:
Escape from Tarkov accounts and EFT Roubles are available for sale, letting you power past early wipe struggles and focus on building the strongest loadouts possible.
