Know before you buy
The rifle comes wired with a T-plug (Deans) connector, which is standard for modern high-performance AEGs. However, it does include an adapter if you need to use batteries with a small Tamiya-style plug.
Yes, the AK04 features a polymer large-dial rotary hop-up chamber located right in the ejection port. This design is much more stable and easier to fine-tune than traditional slider-style AK hop-ups.
Absolutely. The gearbox is equipped with a quick-change spring guide, allowing you to access and swap the spring without needing to disassemble the entire gearbox. This makes it simple to tune your FPS for different field requirements.
The rifle features an M-LOK rail system, which is the current industry standard for attaching grips, lights, and lasers. It also includes an AK-style side rail mount, giving you a dedicated spot to attach optics.
Yes, the microswitch trigger provides a much crisper, more tactile trigger pull compared to traditional mechanical trigger contacts. It improves responsiveness and helps prevent the trigger contacts from burning out over time.
The QPQ (Quench Polish Quench) process significantly hardens the steel surface and provides excellent corrosion resistance. It gives the rifle a realistic, matte-black finish that is much more durable than standard paint or bluing.
