As far as curved magazines go, looks like the WE AK PMC takes them. And if it's the same receiver as the 74, the magazines should be interchangeable.
I want to do this project for a few reasons, first being I already own the WE haha. Also, the WE has a full travel bolt while the GHK has a 'regular' travel bolt (only uses about half of the bolt's raceway, judging from videos). That small feature goes a long way towards realism for me. Finally, I'm doing this project because I enjoy working with guns (swapping a trigger group is fun for me lol) and would rather build a quality machine myself than just trade money for one. Kinda like building a relationship with the rifle ; P
I'll be calling TorontoAirsoft on Friday to talk to the WE tech about this, but any answers are still appreciated

Well if you still wanted to go after that idea, I am certain that the front ends interchange. I believe the buttstock is riveted in, which means changing it is likely a difficult task. Also, what do you plan to do about the stock retention catch on the receiver? There is a hole in the receiver for it and I don't know how you plan to patch it up.
The best bet would be to turn it into a folding stock AKS-74. Keep the triangle stock, change out the front end, get the long flash-hider typical of the 74, and keep the magazine.
