CYMA Platinum Gen.2 CM.097F M4/AR-15 M-LOK AEG

Starting at the front, we can find a KAC-style three-prong flash hider made from steel, an aggressive-looking device which looks right at home on this modern build. The three-prong device mounts to 14mm CCW male barrel threads, meaning it can be swapped out for a tracer or suppressor for a CQB edge or stealthy aesthetics.

Next up, we come to the handguard, which is a great replica of the real steel URX4, featuring M-LOK negative space attachment slots at the 3, 6, & 9 o'clock positions with additional slots at the offset angles, ready for M-LOK accessories.

Running along the top, we have a 20mm Picatinny rail which runs all the way back to the receiver, mating seamlessly with the receiver rail. This gives you plenty of space to mount your choice of optical sight, whether it's a simple red dot sight or a full-sized LPVO or rifle scope. QD sling sockets are also present on either side of the handguard, allowing the QD sling swivels to be fitted for a slick modern sling setup, which is easy to remove and remount. 

Moving rearwards, we come to the receiver, which is a modernised design with angled surfaces and a reprofiled forward assist bulge/brass deflector. The front of the magazine well features gripping grooves to allow it to be used as a makeshift grip when shooting from unconventional positions, and the left side includes an extended magazine release fence to protect an ambidextrous mag release, should you choose to add one.

The controls are conventionally laid out for an M4/AR-15 replica, with the fire selector positioned just above the pistol grip on the left side, well within reach of the shooter's thumb when the rifle is held in a firing grip. The selector offers 3 modes in a SAFE-SEMI-AUTO layout with a 90-degree throw between each selector position.

With the pre-installed Kestrel Basic ETU, you also have the option of switching out full auto for a 3-round burst, giving you improved hit probability while saving ammo compared to using full-auto.

The mag release is on the right side of the magazine well, easily reached for right-handers using the trigger finger and for left-handed shooters with the off-hand thumb. Just below, we can find the trigger guard, which is enlarged and built into the receiver; a feature often found on cutting-edge real-world ARs with "billet" receivers. This gives you easy access to the trigger when wearing full-finger gloves and also enhances receiver strength, sidestepping the removable trigger guard of a mil-spec AR, which is a known weak point.

At the top rear of the receiver, we can find the charging handle, which is constructed from alloy with a steel locking latch. Pulling the charging handle will open the dust cover and retract the mock bolt, revealing the rotary HOP-up inside. The unit is made from alloy, and the adjuster dial is polymer, offering a stronger build than other rotary units.

Turning the dial allows you to tune the CM.097F for different ammo weights, looking for the flattest possible trajectory. When you've finished adjusting, hit the "ping pong paddle" bolt catch on the left side of the receiver to release the mock bolt with a satisfying "clank".

At the bottom of the receiver, we can find the pistol grip, which is a modern ergonomic design with a filled-out backstrap and texture on either side. The front and rear features linear grooves for added traction, and the grip angle is more vertical than traditional pistol grips, making it more comfortable for modern shooting stances with the stock fully collapsed.

At the rear of the receiver, we are treated to an ambidextrous steel sling plate, ideally suited to single-point "hook" slings. The sling plate is a fantastic single-point sling mounting option if you are accustomed to "shoulder-to-shoulder transitions" when skirmishing, preventing the sling from being tangled and avoiding the need to adjust length.

At the rear, we have the prolific M4/AR-15 buffer tube, constructed from alloy and offering 6 adjustment positions for the pre-installed stubby stock. This buffer tube features an extended castle nut made from steel, ensuring it is easy to access the quick-change spring system with no chance of the castle nut threads failing.

The battery compartment is inside the buffer tube. To access it, pull the adjustment lever on the bottom of the stock out, and slide the stock off the rear of the buffer tube. Inside, you'll find a Deans battery connector. We recommend an 11.1V 1300mAh LiPo in stick configuration for an easy fit and tremendous rate of fire!

The stock itself is far more compact than the average AR stock, reducing the potential for snags while providing comfortable sloped cheek rests and a grippy rubber butt plate. QD sling sockets are built-in on either side, ready for QD sling swivels to be fitted. The adjustment lever of the stock is on the bottom; a low-profile design intended to reduce equipment snags, a considerable improvement over the ageing crane battery stock design.
