ELAK74MN, a member of the "Essential" line manufactured by E&L, is one of the most detailed and realistically made AKS-74N 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.

ELAK74MN is a modernized variant of the traditional AK-74 rifle - a full-sized model with a left-side folding polymer stock. It is ideally suited for CQB, close- and mid-distance games, and operations. This 710/950mm long replica is fed from a polymer magazine and shoots in a single and full-automatic mode.

Main elements like the body, outer barrel, 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, stock, handguard with gas tube cover, 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 connected to the gas block and secured with a spring-loaded push-button. 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 modernized polymer handguard with finger grooves and swells on the sides and a hand-stop for a firm grip and comfortable handling. The solid, polymer side folding stock is comfortable to use. It also holds a small compartment for a cleaning kit. It is easy to fold, handle in confined spaces, and simple to stash.

The standard AK-pattern iron sights consist of the adjustable front sight pole placed in front of the gas block and a rear sight aperture integrated with the sight block. This technical choice keeps the optimal sightline matched with a compact design. The rear sight uses an adjustable, notched tangent with 0–1000-meter scaling and 100-meter increments.

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.

ELAK74MN is an ideal choice for players looking for a no-nonsense replica that can be used in CQB, close- to mid-ranges, and historical reconstruction. It also grants a good starting point for internal and external modifications.
