WE AK74UN GBB

Socom Tactical have them on offer for £275 posted currently - that is some £70 cheaper than certain other Airsoft outlets.

....and what a gun!! I always hold off buying any gbb's until the bargain bonanza season starts and for £275 it is one of the best value for money replicas I have purchased! Lots of stamped steel parts: upper and lower receiver, flash hider, mag guide, stock etc. Best blowback for your buck in a GBB imo, along with perhaps KWC's Mini UZI. It weighs in at a tickle over 3.1kg - that's slightly more than the real thing!!

Let down by the usual WE trigger assembly quality - but frankly who cares when Ra-tech and Hephaestus offer steel bits for this. Mine will be getting full Ra-tech trigger treatment next week. All in all, for around £350 with all the necessary upgrades this will be/is one of the best guns in my collection (he said having owned it for just a few days...)

Good guns - I had one kitted with PBS- 1 suppressor , pso scope and side mount , few other bits and you are right its dead solid and well made - one of the better gbbs . I still have the RA - TECH wood kit if you are interested ? (  never fitted I kinda liked it as it was  )  seen them aged with the wood kit and looking very good - vids on youtube . I have an Izhmash Yunker 3 now which is none blowback steel bb co2 and I have kitted it as above .
If I bought another AK GBB it would be this one - I am told they are the best available - never held one so cannot say but they are highly regarded in airsoft communities .

The problem with the GHK AK is it's short travel bolt. Ive just finished putting the steel trigger set in my WE, along with the FG airsoft buffer spring - which raises the RoF to around the correct 650 mark. Their is no doubting in many respects GHK'S build quality is better than WE'S, but as yet I've had no reason to shell out over £100 more for a gun from them, when the WE'S with the necessary upgrades more than satiate the appetite.
