This gun is a great blend of realism and performance. It performs better than a GBB rifle and it is more realistic than a non-blowback AEG. However, it sacrifices some performance and realism to achieve this middle ground.

I recommend this rifle to people as an alternate primary arm. This way you can spice up your airsoft experience with some blowback goodness, while not totally sucking as you would with an actual GBB rifle.

The new Marui Recoil Shocks are all CNC'ed aluminium.

@NewDivineWind

HAHAHAHA.... NO.

A real SCAR's upper receiver isn't even billet milled aluminum, never mind the airsoft version.

Armalite, SCAR and basically any other aluminum body rife (we're talking the real thing here) is FORGED, not MILLED.

And Marui's bodies are all cast.

@Ecthelion008 tokyo-marui . co . jp /products/01/scar_l_cqc/index.­html Hopefully you can see that link. If you look at the picture it is 100% CNCed. Same goes with most all the other recoil shocks. Tokyo Marui is stepping up their game.

@NewDivineWind

You need to do a little more research.

Airsoft manufacturers often claim that they CNC their upper or iron sights etc.

And... they do. But there is a huge difference between billet CNCed pieces and cast or extruded and then CNCed.

The upper is first cast into the rough shape, and the milled (AKA CNC) to the exact dimensions. This is slight better than simple casting since it means it will have cleaner external lines and more exact dimensions.

Is there a way to put a costumized or a real steel AEK-971 stock and handguard? Thank you.

@TorBjurlen

Not sure but, people have managed to fit real AK 74 furniture on to it, so most likely yes, just needs some filing perhaps

[NewDivineWind]

@Ecthelion008 Well Tokyo Marui isn't claiming CNC on just their sights, they are boasting 100% CNC on all their new products.

@Ecthelion008 Are newer models since this is in 2009, now in 2011 are the defects fixed? or will the gun break?

[TorBjurlen]

@Ecthelion008 But, the TM AK74 replicates the AK(kalasnikov) 74, so I'm not suprised that it did ^^ But the AEK arnt a kalasnikov, that is the issue =/

[Kridepatukka]

Are u sure that the gun will brake?
