Specna Arms SA-A38 ONE Carbine Black

Presentation

The Specna Arms SA-A38 is based on the well-known M4 platform. Slightly improved in terms of design, the replica offers multi-role capabilities, suitable for both CQB and open spaces. The materials used in its construction provide an advantage to the user due to their reduced weight, enhancing maneuverability.

Exterior of the replica

Impressive... We can only praise the gentlemen at Specna Arms for the value for money their replicas offer. The exterior of the airsoft replica is well-constructed, and the materials used are durable and lightweight. Aluminum and aluminum alloys are used, significantly reducing weight and improving maneuverability. The design of the airsoft replica is both beautiful and efficient. The front system features a cylinder with holes allowing for rails to be placed as desired. There is a standard rail on the top of the body that runs almost the entire length of the airsoft replica, allowing for a wide range of optical aiming devices to be mounted.

A large part of the airsoft replica is made of metal, while ABS plastic elements include the grip and stock of the airsoft replica. The stock is adjustable with 6 positions and comes with a rubber pad for improved grip. Due to its considerable size, crane batteries can be placed inside. The airsoft replica is equipped with a foldable classic aiming system to allow for the use of other sighting devices. Note that to operate the aiming system, the button on the left side must be pressed.

To add a touch of realism, the manufacturers have installed a system that mimics an active bolt catch, allowing for easier hop-up adjustment. The airsoft replica can be secured with a sling swivel located above the grip, and access to this attachment system is on both sides of the replica. There is also a support point in the back part of the rail system, a QD-type system. Note that the included sling in the package is not meant for supporting the airsoft replica.

Interior of the replica

The airsoft replica features an almost standard version 2 gearbox, with the only difference being the ability to replace the spring of the replica without opening the gearbox shell. However, you still need to remove the gearbox to perform this operation. Regarding the internals of the replica, they are of good quality. The piston, cylinder head, and cylinder head are made of polycarbonate, and the gears are of quality metal. The shimming of the airsoft replica is well done, and the sound of the gearbox in operation is good. The motor of the airsoft replica is standard but successfully engages the internal mechanism, and with a consumption of only 10-11A, it can be said to be a well-optimized gearbox. The performance is definitely influenced by the 8mm ball bearing-equipped wheel bearings.

The hop-up chamber is metal, and the adjustment can be found inside the ejector port. It can be accessed by operating the cocking lever of the airsoft replica. The grouping is good even though the inner barrel has a diameter of 6.08 mm. Adjusting the hop-up correctly, the replica can achieve fairly long engagement distances. The velocity of the airsoft replica is approximately 115-120 meters per second measured with 0.20g BBs. The package also includes a spring yielding a velocity of about 90-95 meters per second.

Power source

The airsoft replica comes with a 9.6V 1100 mAh mini crane type battery included in the package that mounts in the stock. It is recommended not to use batteries larger than 9.6V as it can cause damage to the toy. LiPo batteries can be used, but not larger than 7.4V. Only use high-quality BBs and do not reuse BBs as it can damage the airsoft replica.
