Product Description
Brief History
The AK74 is an assault rifle manufactured in the early 1970s by Soviet weapon designer Mikhail Kalashnikov. The rifle first entered service with Soviet forces during the Afghanistan conflict in 1979. The manufacturer E&L, now producing accessories for real firearms, has successfully incorporated the essence of the AK into this wonderful airsoft replica.
Exterior of the Replica
The exterior design is already well-known, as it has been featured in many films, series, and video games. According to military specifications, the ELS-74N replica copies the AK74 1:1, from the materials used to the weight. The body, stock, and trigger of the replica are made of steel, while the magazine and grip are made of ABS plastic. For added realism in handling this replica, the handguard is made from authentic wood. The replica weighs and is balanced just like a real firearm, providing players with an enhanced sense of realism.
To ensure a comfortable position even in the tightest spots on the playing field, the stock can be folded to the left side. The replica is coated with a specific oil used for machining tools, which protects the product during transport against moisture and other impurities. The mixture of oil and steel emits a unique scent, well-known to true airsoft players.
Interior of the Replica
Regarding the internals of an E&L AK replica, things are better than we expected. The heavy lifting is done by the reinforced V3 Gearbox, built to the highest standards, with 9mm bearings. The pneumatic system consists of a set made up of a silent piston and cylinder head, which extend the lifespan of the system. To keep the focus on hitting targets rather than handling the weapon, the manufacturer has equipped this gun with a quick-change spring system. The high precision of the replica is provided by the inner barrel with a diameter of 6.04 mm. The propulsion speed is 125-130 m/s, measured with 0.20g BBs.
Power Supply
The replica comes with a Mid-Cap magazine made of ABS plastic with a capacity of 120 BBs, an oil reservoir, and a Magwell spacer. Neither a battery nor a battery charger is included. LiPo batteries of 7.4-11.1V can be used. To ensure the replica operates at maximum capacity, only quality consumables should be used.
