The SA-J72 from Specna Arms is designed to replicate the real steel AKS-74M, a modernisation of the AKS-74, the original side folding AK rifle. This AK uses the VFC style of external construction, meaning pins and rivets instead of screws, a skeleton side folding stock made from steel and as close as is possible to realistic disassembly with an AEG.

The SA-J72 weighs a mere 2.5kg approximately, and Specna gets away with this with a high density polymer receiver, gas tube and gas block which has the added benefit of increasing the rifle's resistance to scratches. We have been waiting for a modern AK in the featherweight category, and finally, it is here!

Also available are 5 levels of trigger sensitivity adjustment, 6 levels of adjustable pre-cocking, active braking and a low battery voltage alarm.

The ETU isn't the only thing added to the DA-C02-ETU; we are also treated to 16:1 ratio CNC steel gears, CNC aluminium cylinder group parts, a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel with a high torque Neodymium magnet motor to top it off. The result is a surprising trigger response and intense rate of fire, usually reserved for AEGs twice this price! If you want all of the performance but none of the weight of the Delta Armory ALPHA ETU series, the DA-C02-ETU CHARLIE™ M4/AR-15 CQBR AEG provides exactly that!

If CQB is your poison, or you have limited space in your kit bag, you are going to love this one!
