"So I bought this to scratch the ak itch and to try out the ak platform. All around solid gun. The ebb is nice and fun. Shoots almost as good as my upgrade vfc m4.
Pros:
- Full metal and real wood besides the plastic grip.
- There are 14mm threads under the orange flash hider
- I used 30g, seems to shoot them pretty accurately straight out of the box.
- comes with a 8.4v battery and charger. The battery is decent, the charger I would not use, definitely should get a smart charger with this gun if you dont already have one.
- Comes with an ak sight mount on the left side of the gun.
- I mounted red dot straight to the rear iron sight with a picatinny riser (requires some sanding but is possible if you want a red dot on your gun).
- The mags that worked for me are the MAG ak mags, they dont wiggle alot and they feed well.
Cons and things to be aware of:
- There is a pin holding the orange flash hider in place.
- The upper wood handguard might get wobbly, but nothing duck tape cant fix.
- The ebb bolt can get stuck on the battery.
- The ebb doesn't add recoil is just has the bolt move back and forth when firing. If you want a gun with recoil there is a gas blowback m4 by Matrix that is around the same price as this gun or just save for a gbb ak.
- I encountered some of the screws being loose so if you get the gun make sure to check them, maybe use lock tight if you got it.
Definitely well worth the money and works great. The ebb adds some fun to it almost makes the gun scary to be on the business end. This is just my point of view from having it a few days, if I ever come across any problems I will definitely up date this review.

"Best cheap AKS-74U. Although fit and finishes are not LCT or even E&L levels, but is only sub $200 with EBB. I can't complain too much but only positive, shoots well and requires a bit of TLC to get it up and running.

"Gun feels great nice and sturdy I recommend. The only thing you need to worry about is crushing the wires with the dust cover so be careful with that but other than that great gun.

"This gun is my baby,
Starting in the way you would see it.
The box is covered in absolutely art, the gun comes with a batter a mag and the gun. Picking up the gun you notice how heavy it is, the gun being full steal and real wood is extremely heavy, it feels like a tank, only complaint on the externals is that the hand-guard wobble. The gun has a crisp smooth trigger pull and a nice recoil impulse. I can hit around 75ft with this gun consistently. Beautiful piece and highly recommend

"This one heck of a great airsoft firearm. I have many that I would report either good or poor on but this one rates pretty much #1 in my book I recommend, and get a mid cap mag at the same time since they hold a lot of BBs without winding.

"I've owned every conceivable semi-auto AK47/74 variant in original caliber configuration that I could buy when you could get them. 7.62x39, .223. 5.45x39 and loved them all. BUT, this little AKS74U is a real demon that shoots great, feels great, and costs a mega-ton less to shoot than the real guns. I like it, and so will you!!!

"Great gun had it for over a year. It's a monster 400 fps easy to upgrade, and the noise as the dust cover hits the metal is a great noise.
Pros
-Easy to upgrade
-Full metal
-Made of great parts
-Scope mount
-Easy to run around with
-Blow back
Cons
-Not a lot of battery space (if you take out the blow back this can be fixed)
-When the stock is folded you can't mount a scope

"I have had this gun for a couple months now and am extremely happy with this gun. Its very high power but still low enough for cqb games. The paint dosent scratch very easily and blowback is realistic and makes the gun a lot of fun to use. Be warned though because the stick battery that goes in the top of the gun interferes with the blowback and has to be put in a specific way or the blowback wont work. Overall this is an amazing gun and I would highly recommend it to anyone

"I couldn't be much happier with this gun for the price I paid for it. In general, I actually hate the design of the AKS-74U, but wanted to have a spare gun for friends and something smaller than my M4 for CQB. For the $100 I paid, I wasn't expecting much. However...
Pros:
-Solid metal receiver with a smooth finish. Seems like it's actually made of steel instead of pot metal. Feels great, and gives off a solid "Clang!" when making contact with other metal, such as the side folding stock snapping shut.
-Real wood handguard. It's a bit smooth and shiny, but still looks and feels great. I'm sure the look will break-in with us.
-Crisp blowback. It feels good, sounds good, and the bolt has a decent amount of travel.
-Surprisingly high ROF with an 8.4v battery (included)
-Accurate. The irons were actually perfectly zeroed when I received it. Only had to adjust the hop.
-Quality hi-cap. The included hi-cap feeds very well, emptying almost the entire reservoir with a single wind. Nice.
-Build quality. No creaks or wobbles. The sling mount makes a bit of noise on the stock, but only because it's metal on metal.
Cons:
-Restricted to 8.4v stick type batteries. 9.6v batteries will interfere with the blowback system, however, the motor does a great job making the most of an 8.4v
-Paint scratches easy. Other reviewers are correct on this, but this is an AK - They should not look pristine.
Overall, I didn't want to like this gun that much, but I honestly find myself toying with this gun more than my M4. If you're looking for an AKS-74U, or are on the fence about which one to get, just know that you really can't go wrong with this AEG. It's built well, performs well, feels great, and sounds great. No regrets in buying this whatsoever.

"This is a great gun but one thing i have to say is make sure all screws are tight, I orderd two and on one the blowback now dosent work because it's missing two screws since they fell out and on the other it's missing the front sight allan screw that goes into the bottom and a pin that holds the upper foregrip on. over all great gun.

"This gun has HIGHLY impressed me. For 160, you really can't get a better deal.
Performance wise, this gun is absolutely excellent. It gets surprising range and grouping for its size, and can easily compete with other AEGs in field scenarios. The stick battery it comes with is Meh, I suggest a 1200 8.4v It only uses a stick type, keep that in mind. It gets a fair rate of fire with a 1200 and the sound of the bolts blowback is music to the ears.
The blowback on this gun is easily my favorite of all the EBB's I've used. It sounds great, it's crisp and adds that slightest big of shake to the gun to make firing it so much sweeter.
The weapon looks FANTASTIC with the metal flashhider on. The orange hicap the weapon comes with is also Meh. I suggest classic AK-47 black ribbed magazines, they really compliment the weapons looks.
There are only two considerable cons I've faced with this AEG. The top part of the wooden grip, along with the front sight are very wobbly. Screwing the flashhider on tightly helps, but should you bump it it will go astray.
With hopup at the ideal setting, it hardly matters anyway. Your sights are next to useless, just trace your BB's or get an optic.
That brings me to the second con. The weapon comes with a siderail to attach a soviet style scope mount, but doing so disallows the folding stock. Which really isn't that big of a problem, the gun is already compact with stock extended, there's little reason to need to fold it.
The gun looks great, performs great, and is at a great price. I highly recommend it.
