Description

ELAKS74UN, a member of the "Essential" line manufactured by E&L, is one of the most detailed and realistically made AKS-74UN replicas on the market. The ELs are fabricated in an authentic arms factory using modern manufacturing methods. This translates to high performance and superb quality of the external elements.
ELAKS74UN is the sub-compact variant of the traditional AK-74 rifle - a shortened model with a left-side folding stock. It is ideally suited for use in CQB and close-quarters games and operations. This 500/740mm long replica is fed from a polymer magazine and shoots in a single and full-automatic mode.
Main elements like the body, outer barrel, side-folding stock, dust cover, gas block, sight block, gas tube, iron sights, and other small components are machined from steel. The only parts made from polymers are the pistol grip and magazine.
Like the original, the replica's body is fabricated from stamped steel for superb resistance to wear and damage. It is furtherly covered in an anti-corrosion coating. The steel dust cover is attached to the gas block via a hinge for easy access. A side rail is fitted to the left side of the receiver, and it accepts standard, Russian-style optics and accessories. At the front, we can find a classic plywood handguard with finger grooves on the sides for a firm grip and comfortable handling.
The solid, side folding stock fabricated from welded, stamped metal sheets is comfortable to use. It is easy to fold, handle in confined spaces, and simple to stash.
Reworked iron sights consist of the adjustable front sight pole placed on top of the gas block and a rear sight aperture riveted to the dust cover. This technical choice keeps the acceptable sightline matched with a compact design. The rear sight uses a U-shaped, two-position flip sight for engaging targets at close and longer ranges.
The heart of the replica is a V3-type gearbox with a quick spring change and an ultra-compact MOSFET. V3 also has a steel cylinder, a high-speed electric motor, and a full metal hop-up chamber. All of the above translates to optimal performance out of the box and a good base for further tuning.
ELAKS74UN is an ideal choice for players looking for a traditional replica that can be used in CQB, close-quarters scenarios, and historical reconstruction. It also grants a good starting point for internal and external modifications.
