A&K Full Size M1 Garand Airsoft AEG with Real Wood Furniture

"good rifle so far not for someone who wants to be competitive.... my only complaint are the magazines they don't work good and they won't fit in a WW2 type GI ammo belt

"To start off, this gun was deducted a full star because the front iron sight is crooked. When you look down the iron sights you can see that the barrel isn't straight... which is a big deal since guns rely on precise measurements. I definitely tried to fix it but the gun was built that way so I'm helpless to fix it. Although I'm 100% sure that this defect is not present on all rifles.

Now aside from the deficiency, the gun is built very well and solid, for the most part the wood it crafted in the right shape, it looks light the real thing. It's made entirely of metal and has good weight to it. The wood looks really good and feels smooth to the touch.. The slight mounts are solid and both the m1907 Rifle sling and the basic m1 sling work well on it, making it look more accurate.

I'm definitely not a big fan of low capacity magazines, or the fact that its nothing close to the real m1 clip, but it beats other brand due to its compact size. the magazines can fit inside the ww2 bandoliers and 20 rounds is good since it's a quick reload, in all ways. Easy to insert, fast to load bbs and it drops at the press of the mag release... and they're durable! Half plastic, half metal.

Overall I Do recommend this gun to anyone that wants to build their arsenal of Ww2 Guns, Its a good-looking, Well Performing airsoft rifle that I would buy a second time.

"this gun gets a 2 star. its a decent M1 replica and is very budget friendly. that being said lets get to the good stuff, the pros and cons

pros:
_its cheaper than the other 3 M1 options
_it does fit era correct muzzle devices and the bayonet
_mags hold 40 or so rounds and fit in the cartridge belt w/o the base plates
_its got a decent weight and its real wood
_it does take most V7 parts. the nozzle is M4 length
cons
_very bad QC. ive had several in the repair shop for numerous issues. motor slot in the stock drilled off center, tons of coverups from the factory, bad gearbox bearing holes.
_no separate hopup unit. its built into the outer barrel assembly and uses the same system as the LMGs from A&K. Im referring to the little 2mm plastic peg that pushes into the bucking.
_very cheap wood. ive refinished all of the guns ive repaired and its a softer white wood.

so in conclusion id only recommend this gun to those on a budget for WWII guns and just be aware that its not as upgradable as you might think

"I was really exited when I bought this but it was disappointed when I pulled it out of the box it was damaged and dirty and it came without a manual still I’m like I’ll fit it a try I charged up a battery and did some target shooting the hop up was stiff and hard to change the effective range is about 75 feet and the mags and mag release and tricky to use this gun is not field ready also evike says the mags hold so many rounds they don’t I read the mags would hold 50 bbs they all hold about 20 bbs I just feel cheated

"Mine had accuracy issues out of the box and I had to swap the spring to get the rifle to a respectable FPS (advertised FPS is not correct). Quick change spring system is nice and external quality is good but overall it could definitely be better for the price. $325 is not cheap...

"It looks nice. The magazine is cleverly designed, but I had trouble firing. I fired but only got 2-3 shots out before no more BBs were going through. The magazine was still mostly full, so I tried again but nothing. I thought it jammed, but the barrel was clear. The body is crooked in several places, and the front aperture is crooked as well. I mean this is the cheapest airsoft garand on the market, so im not sure what I expected. The historical inaccuracies are there, but negligible. It makes a beautiful (and expensive) wall decoration.

"Bought one a few years back.

Pros: nice weight

Cons: its broken at least 10 times (every time I've tried to play a game with it) and now the fuse has blown so I cant fix it an 11th time.
