SA AK-74S ASTER V3 (SA-J03 EDGE 2.0™) - Black

Avtomat Kalashnikova, a revolution among rifles

The AK-47, officially known as Avtomat Kalashnikova, was developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov in the late 1940s. It became the standard assault rifle of the Soviet armed forces and was widely used worldwide due to its durability, reliability, and ease of use. The AK-47 uses a 7.62×39mm cartridge, providing good stopping power and range.
In the 1970s, the AK-74 was introduced as a modernized version of the AK-47. The key difference was the adoption of the smaller 5.45×39mm cartridge, offering better accuracy and less recoil. This model continued the legacy of its predecessor, maintaining the same basic design but improving performance and handling.
The AKS designates variants with folding stocks for both models, the AK-47 and AK-74. These versions were intended for paratroopers and other forces requiring a compact weapon. AKS versions have a folding metal stock, making them easier to carry and use in confined spaces.
Overall, the AK series of rifles are appreciated for their simplicity, robustness, and effectiveness in various combat situations, making them some of the most iconic and widely used firearms in the world.
Airsoft AEG assault rifle AK in the EDGE 2.0™ series from Specna Arms focuses on top-notch steel body workmanship and a realistic appearance and construction. Additionally, it is equipped with a top-tier GATE Aster V3 control unit.

What does the Specna Arms AK-74S from the J-Series Edge 2.0™ offer?

Internal parts

The AK rifle replica is equipped with the ASTER V3 control unit from the Polish company GATE. This unit ensures safe switching, protecting the internal parts, improves trigger response, and extends battery life, increases the weapon's rate of fire, and allows the safe use of 7.4V and 11.1V Li-Pol batteries. It also allows trigger sensitivity adjustment, pre-cocking, and various firing modes.
Thanks to the integrated status LEDs, the unit can also diagnose basic weapon malfunctions.
The AK comes standard with a 6.03 mm precision barrel, increasing accuracy, and an adjustable Hop-up chamber with a quality rubber.
Another increasingly common standard is the ESA2 quick spring change system, allowing you to install a stronger or weaker spring at your discretion. To change the spring, you just need to remove the dust cover, fold the stock, and unscrew the screw holding the spring guide. All in a matter of seconds.
The ORION™ V3 gearbox, known for its high reliability, is also reinforced and capable of functioning with springs up to M120, as stated by the manufacturer Specna Arms.

External parts

The Specna Arms AK J-Series Edge™ replica excels with its high-quality external steel body with a matte finish and a very realistic appearance.
Steel parts include the dust cover, outer barrel, trigger guard, magazine catch, fire selector, gas tube, compensator, sight, cleaning rod, and pins and rivets.
The remaining metal elements are made of a zinc and aluminum alloy with a special surface treatment, giving the weapon the look of a real AK.
The battery is placed under the dust cover, and it is recommended to use Stick-type batteries.
