E&L Airsoft New Essential Version AKS-74MN Airsoft AEG Rifle

"I purchased this as my first airsoft gun because it was recommended to me by a friend who got the same brand, E&L. Arrived 4 days ago, and this gun feels incredible for the price. Also bought a Matrix rail mount and a 50$ red dot sight and this thing is just as good as any other gun I see on the field. The only problem I ever had was figuring out how to put the dust cover back on, but it'll only take a few minutes to figure it out. There is some slight charging handle wobble but once you put a battery in it then it stays fine. The mag wobbles (on purpose I believe) back and forth and not side to side to allow the mags to be easily swapped out. The battery I use (1600MaH 7.4v stick type) fits perfectly into the top of the gun, where you can slide it through the top once the dust cover is off. MAKE SURE YOU USE THE ADAPTER TO PLUG IN THE BATTERY!!! I'm not sure if this goes for other types of batteries but DO NOT try and plug in the red part directly out of the gun and the green part from you battery (I made this rookie mistake). It will smoke. Luckily it caused minor damage to mine. I would absolutely recommend this for anybody who wants a very durable budget AK.

My Rear Trunnion came A LITTLE loose but i just tighten the 2 little screws under it and problem solved. (REMOVING/INSTALLING THE REAR LEAF SIGHT WAS A HASSLE. BUT WITH PATIENCE YOU CAN GET IT DONE)


9/10 WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

"Just received this marker in today and am blown away with the build of it. Definitely not for people searching for a light gun. Sp far my gripe is the battery compartment area. Will NOT fit a 3000mah Titan 11.1, Matrix 1300mah stick or Matrix 1450 "fat stick" without modification to the gas tube area under the rear sight. Other than that she's a catch. Will edit later if needed.

"It feels fantastic, and ready to go. But the quality control might be iffy. My safety selector is super loose, other than that it seems to be solid build quality, A little disappointing though.
