The AK 74M Assault Rifle
The AK-74M is a Soviet/Russian assault rifle based on the famous AK-47 Kalashnikov design. It was introduced in 1991 as an improved version of the AK-74, introduced in 1974. It offers higher performance than its predecessor, features a folding stock, a more advanced safety guard, an improved sighting system and a guide for installing the infrared sight. The 'M' version is easily recognisable from previous versions of the AK74 because for the first time the iconic wooden parts are replaced by hard plastic. It is a lightweight and reliable assault rifle, making it a popular option for armed and security forces worldwide.
Airsoft replica of the AK74 M, the Dboy RK05
This Airsoft version of the AK-74M made by DBOY (called the RK05) is designed to resemble the original as closely as possible. In fact, like the original version, it is almost entirely made of steel and a uniform alloy of zinc and aluminium. Only the stock, the pistol grip and a few other elements are made of plastic, exactly as in the original version of the AK74M, which, as mentioned above, is the first model in the AK series to replace the wooden parts with an excellent plastic, much stronger and lighter than wood.
Other features, inherited from the AK-74-M, that give a very realistic look to the DBoy RK05 replica are: the matte black finish and the stock that reclines on the side of the receiver, making it considerably smaller, making it more compact, versatile, manageable and easy to carry.
The stick-type battery is stored under the dust cover (included in the set). The replica can be partially disassembled like the original weapon. Only the screws are missing, the result of a construction based on the VFC standard. The receiver is equipped with a 'dovetail' side mounting rail.
At the heart of the replica is a V3 gearbox, which is characterised by its long service life and excellent tuning basis. Inside the replica is a two-way, reinforced piston head, a spring guide with ball bearings and 7 mm ball bearings.
The replica comes with a polymer HiCap magazine with a capacity of up to 500 BB.
