- Full metal construction
- KeyMod handguard
- Electro-mechanical blowback
Whether you are building a DMR or you simply want a big boy assault rifle that stands out from the crowd, the Jing Gong LK58-T is one to watch. This AEG replicates the modernised SA58 version of the FAL battle rifle, boasting full metal construction, a highly adaptable KeyMod handguard and an electro-mechanical blowback system to make the firing experience that bit more immersive.
The FAL was once known as "the right arm of the free world" due to serving with a large number of NATO militaries during the Cold War. The SA58 variant arrived more recently, but this means we can easily mount a scope or red dot and all manner of modern accessories without having to source hard-to-find parts. If you want a primary that is large and in charge, stands out from the masses of AK and AR users and has plenty of performance potential, the JG LK58-T is the right way to go!

Description
If you are looking for a 7.62x51 style AEG platform that stands out from all the M4 platforms, a FAL will do the trick! The Jing Gong LK58-T SA58 FAL EBB AEG is based on the real steel SA58, the modernised FAL variant equipped with a KeyMod handguard, a 20mm railed receiver and extended controls to bring the old veteran into line with modern platforms.
On the inside, the LK58-T is based around a Tokyo Marui compatible version 3 gearbox and rotary HOP-up unit. This means there is practically no limit when it comes to upgrading this beast, whether you want to ramp up the rate of fire or lean into the inherent accuracy of this mid-length platform and turn it into a DMR.
The highlight of the build is the electro-mechanical blowback system, giving a nice metal-on-metal click clack as the mock bolt moves back and forth which each shot. The blowback system doesn't provide a lot of recoil but does drown out the sound of the gearbox quite effectively, making the LK58-T sound more like a GBBR from a few feet away than the usual AEG.
Starting at the muzzle we can find a standard AR-15 birdcage flash hider, constructed from steel. This allows the use of QD suppressors and keeps the rifle faithful to the real-world SA58. The steel flash hider mounts onto the 13-inch outer barrel using a 14mm CCW male thread, allowing the use of any tracer unit, suppressor or any alternative muzzle device you choose.
Behind the flash hider, we can find a rotating sling swivel that attaches around the barrel and can be used for standard rifle slings. The sling mount can also be removed if you have alternative plans for carrying this beast, and with plenty of 20mm and KeyMod rails, you have plenty of options.
Next up we have the alloy mock gas block, which features a mock gas adjuster, mock gas cut-off and winged front sight blade, which is adjustable for elevation. The mock gas parts all move, as they should, adding a touch of realism to this high-quality reproduction. Included in the box is a front sight adjustment tool which makes adjusting the front sight nice and easy.
The handguard of the LK58-T is a modern KeyMod handguard with KeyMod negative space attachment slots at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock with additional slots at the upper offset angles. This gives you an absolute wealth of accessorisation options, including directly mounting KeyMod accessories or using 20mm rail adapters for KeyMod to add 20mm Picatinny accessories. Along the top of the handguard, we have 23cm of 20mm Picatinny rail in the ideal spot for a PEQ or DBAL laser unit or tactical flashlight. Running beneath the handguard is an alloy mock gas tube, which aids in keeping the rifle structurally strong and adds a touch of realism.
The receiver is thick, strong alloy, giving the rifle its heft and keeping the centre of balance realistic since most of the weight should be in the receiver on a real rifle. The mag well is of a semi-protected design with an extension on the right side of the receiver. This gives you something to index with the magazine during a reload, guiding the mag in and assisting with reload speed without causing difficulties with the "rock and lock" insertion method.
The rear of the mag well features a mock bolt catch, which can be engaged if the blowback mechanism is removed, otherwise, it serves as a nice feature for realism and completes the FAL look. The modernized magazine release can be found next to the bolt release catch, on the right side, putting it perfectly within reach of the trigger finger, allowing you to release the magazine with the firing hand whilst inserting a fresh mag with your reaction hand. A big improvement over the original FAL design, especially if you like fast reloads!
Behind the magazine release, we can find a large steel pin, which forms the axis for the FAL receiver to be split in half. Unfortunately, this part cannot be used in the same manner as on a real FAL due to the confines of the Airsoft internals and the version 3 gearbox inside.
Above the magazine well we have the charging handle, which can be pulled back about an inch and a half to reveal the HOP up adjustment drum, on the right side behind the mock bolt carrier. The bolt carrier includes "sand cuts" machined in, a feature added to later variants of the FAL in order to prevent fine sand from causing the rifle to jam, instead re-directing any sand away from the bolt carrier and out through the magazine well.
Other than this the right side of the receiver is relatively plain, with the serial number found on the magazine well extension, and some mock takedown pins engraved in. This can be advantageous, as it makes the rifle easy to sling across your back without being stabbed by charging handles and ambidextrous controls, and prevents the rifle from snagging on your gear in the process.
The standard FAL top cover has been replaced with a reinforced railed top cover, being locked to the receiver using ten flat head screws and featuring a long 20mm Picatinny rail, easily long enough to mount larger rifle scopes or Red dot sight + magnifier combinations. This part mimics the real SA58 and provides essential functionality to bring the Cold War rifle into the 21st century.
On the left side of the lower receiver, we can find the fire select lever, which has a very short throw between fire modes and is well placed under the shooter's thumb, allowing you to quickly bring the rifle from safe to semi to engage your target. Surprisingly modern for a rifle designed in the late 40s!
The pistol grip is truly an excellent design, especially considering it came from the era when ergonomics was not even a consideration when designing a rifle. It fits the hand perfectly and stays put, with linear groves to aid gripping and a shelf to prevent the rifle from slipping out of your hand. This grip has found its way into the modern era in several forms and is used on the FN M249, SIG SG55x series, and several modernized AK variants.
At the rear of the receiver, we can find the mock take-down lever, which unfortunately doesn't split the gun into two halves but does move under spring tension, a thoughtful feature for JG to include. The rear sight block can be found on the top of the lower receiver to the rear of the top cover. The sight is mounted here because, in early versions of the FAL, the top cover functioned similarly to an AK and was not considered to be stable enough to mount sights too. The rear sight features protective wings and two apertures for different ranges and light levels. This sight can be removed and sits in a dovetail, similar to pistol sights, which also allows the sight to be adjusted for windage.
The stock is made from strong, textured polymer and is a very comfortable design, providing a comfortable cheek-weld and allowing you to easily see down the iron sights. The bottom of the stock features a standard sling swivel which can be rotated 360 degrees, minimizing the potential for you to go down like an AT-AT on Hoth, all wrapped up in your sling (it does happen!).
At the rear of the stock, we can find the polymer butt plate, which features a rubberized surface to keep the stock firmly in your shoulder during firing. This can be removed by pushing down on it, revealing the battery compartment. Inside we can see there is space for a mini block-type battery of approximately 11cm in length, 4cm in width, and 2.5cm in depth. We recommend a 9.6V 1600mAh NiMh battery to make the most of the internal space, but a 7.4V 1600mAh block-style LiPo should fit in nicely.
Internally the LK58-T features JG's standard reinforced version 3 gearbox, with steel gears with a reinforced piston and piston head. The inner barrel is fully compatible with Tokyo Marui AEG spec. aftermarket parts, should you feel the need to lengthen the range of this beast into DMR territory. The rotary drum HOP-up unit allows for some serious accuracy potential, and can also take any aftermarket AEG bucking or nub. The LK58-T also features electric blowback, which is much nicer than many others and gives a loud "clack" as the mock bolt reciprocates. This is loud enough to conceal the noise from the gearbox, making this almost sound like a GBB rifle from a few feet away.
If you're looking for a rifle platform, either for DMR duty or otherwise, the Jing Gong LK58-T gives you a well-built platform with a unique look and cutting-edge accessory options. The electric blowback feature makes the firing experience far more exciting than a standard AEG without delving into the performance compromises, high cost and extensive maintenance a GBBR requires. For the FAL fan or the skirmisher looking for a 7.62x51 style replica to add some variety to the arsenal, the Jing Gong LK58-T is a fantastic choice, even more so for those who want to stand out from the masses!

Joule Charts
Special Instructions
These table can be used as a reference to see if the BB weight you are using will be over acceptable Joulage limits at some Airsoft Sites in the UK. To check if the weight can be used chrono your weapon using the BB you intend to use, and then compare it to the chart.
FPS, Power and Joule Limits can vary from site to site, so please get in touch with where you're going to play with in advance to avoid disappointment.
Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, with a 350fps limit for Automatic Replicas, 400fps for Semi-Automatic Replicas, and 500fps for Bolt Action Replicas.
Tap the tabs below to open the relevant chart for your replica.
This table should be used for reference, and cannot be used to check one weight against another, as the weight of the BB affects the power.
In order to check if the BB can be used with your replica chronograph using the weight you wish to use and then compare it against the table.
Every time you change weights you will need to re-chrono and check against the table. This is not a conversion chart between weights.
Suggested limits are based on Joulage Limit rules used Halo Mill: Proving Grounds, and is the equivalent of 350fps, using 0.20g BB resulting in an upper limit of 1.14j.
