DBoys/Kalash AK 105 FULL STEEL version review

Pros:
Good quality steel body
7mm bearing gearbox with decent compression and shimming
Solid construction, no creaks or wobble
Polymer, not ABS furniture

Cons:
May come with rust on some parts, clean off with silicone oil (NOT WD40)
Front assembly is poorly assembled, sights are misaligned
Some minor wobble in handguards, easy fix with electrical tape
Cannot fold stock if optics rail is attached
Magazines need slight mod to fit

Hi there!

This is a AK-105, a modern version of the AK 74 that is a bit more compact. Most airsoft AK's on the market are based on "old" AK's like the 47 and chinese type 56. That is why they have a different texture on the reciever. Altough I'm sure there are exceptions.

Good job on the review!

@kimjoh560

Hey wow, thanks, a very informative comment indeed. I have been wondering about the different texturing types on AK for a while now...

[invadersquatt]

if the s means steel, then why do real ak's like the aks-74u have the s? it seems pretty obvious that the body of the gun would be metal.

[Ecthelion008]

@invadersquatt

Dude, the S in the real firearms stand for the Russian version of "special". They are the versions with folding stocks meant for airborne and special forces.

The S in DBoys means Steel

Completely different things

@Ecthelion008 the S in AKS74U means "Skladnoy" or folding, as in the stock.

just an FYI.

@TheGunzilla

I know... I was referring to the S in the model name, the RK08S, which in this case means Steel, not folding

Great review! I'm buying one soon from Airsoft GI and will be sure to get a new hop up rubber since you said the stock one is such crap.

[wigahiga500]

how accurate is it? Im thinking about buying a 74 or a 105

[TheOb2b]

It's my gun :)

@invadersquatt

"S" in the AK names means Skladnoy (Folding) in Russian. U is Ukorochenniy (Short).

The AK-100 series are not under thoose therms. Its the number that tells it (102,103,105 and so on).

Exampel: AKS-74U (The shortest AK carabine with folding stock).

[Thorkil0861]

It is easy to file the magazines but it is anoying. :)

@Ecthelion008 Well, S means 'Skladnoy', meaning 'foldable' (which of course, refers to the stock) Its just that Im Russian, im not being 'mr perfect' =P
