I have always been a fan ok the AK-47 and Iwanted to get one for my next AEG then while reading through the forums at Airsoftzone.com I found that TJ was going to be selling a couple of Falcon Toy Corp. GBB AK-47s! It was then i decide to take the plunge into the world of classic airsoft.

First impressions When i first got it in I did not have a working regulator setup so Iwas unable to fire it for a couple of days -which was tourture. However it did give me a chance to give it the run down.

When Iopened the box I found everything in its place including the original box of FTC BB's ?! The replica itself is all metal, save the lower reciever, the furniture is all real wood, and everything on the gun is written in Japanese (including the selector switch makings). It has a bayonet mount on the front - but no bayonet :( maybe thats for the best anyway.

Firing Finaly I got my regulator in, I picked up a palmer pursuit female regulator. After an hour of trying to set the gauge at 85 PSI Ifired a clip through it ... how sweet the phut phut phut of the BBs flying out the end of the barrel and the CLACK CLACK of the bolt made me grin from ear to ear. At that point I didn't care if the BBs hit anything, but I did a small test anyway. I managed to make 5 inch groupings at 50 feet, which was good enough for me.

Conclusion

Appearance

4/5 useless bayonet mount, reciver is a bit gray

Build Quality 5/5 rock solid

Performance

4/5 limited range due to lack of HOP-UP

Value for Money

5/5 a GBB AK-47 you bet

Overall Potential

4/5 they stoped making part years ago, good luck finding mags :(
