Full description

Description

The CORE series of the Specna Arms family of Airsoft Electric Guns offers affordability and quality in one robust package, coupled with internal parts which put jaws on the floor. The Receiver, Stock and Pistol Grip are made of a high-quality Nylon Fibre to keep the package lightweight, whilst still maintaining a rigid core for a tough rifle. The outer barrel assembly and handguard and stock are made from Alloy, to ensure that the handguard is tightly locked in place and wobble-free.

This rifle is also available with a GATE X-ASR MOSFET! A super-intelligent MOSFET designed to provide your RIF with the latest in Airsoft Innovation and technologies. Either variant is available in the product options. 

The rifle is highly customisable, supporting a wide range of aftermarket external parts and accessories thanks to its KeyMod handguard, 20mm Rail Panels, and its huge full-length top rail. The top rail is the full length of the rifle, measuring in at a generous 13'' the rail gives you plenty of space to build the optics setups leaving plenty of room for large scopes, as well as holographic and magnifier setups. The rail is 20mm RIS / RAS, the most common type in Airsoft, meaning that most sights and scopes will quickly and easily attach with no fuss. The handguard of the gun measure in at 7'', making the rifle short yet effective, and features KeyMod for attaching modular parts and accessories. If KeyMod isn't your thing then no worries, the rifle comes with three pre-attached 5'' 20mm RIS Rail panels, converting the existing keymod to 20mm for attaching more common Grips, Bipods and Launchers. The rear of the gun features a PDW style stock, built from high-quality alloys, with a polymer textured butt plate. The stock is great for CQB environments and locks securely into place. The stock is easy to adjust by simply pressing the catch release button and adjusting it to one of four positions.

Internally the replica features everything people have come to expect and love from a Specna Arms replica, with a quick change spring system, high-quality internal parts, plenty of options for upgrades and plenty of aftermarket part support should something go wrong. The replica features a standard V2 gearbox, commonly found in Airsoft M4, meaning that there is a vast selection of upgrade parts available for this replica, even if it doesn't really need them out the box. Internally the gearbox features parts you would only typically see in more high-end replicas, with a full steel gear set for strength and reliability, 8mm slide bearings for smooth action and the Specna ESA quick change spring system allowing you to quickly increase or decrease the power of the replica with ease.

This rifle is perfect for those Airsofter who are looking for an extremely solid base from which to start them on their way as an Airsoft Skirmisher. The Specna Arms range of rifles are the hot go-to replicas of this year and are recommended to new players and more seasoned veterans for their high quality and performance. If you're looking for a CQB rifle that performs great both indoors and out, this is the rifle for you.

This rifle has a very small battery compartment and as such we would recommend getting the smallest battery available to ensure it will fit along with the wiring etc.

We have found that the following batteries will fit comfortably in this gun.


Use this one if your gun has the traditional mini Tamiya connector:
