Arcturus Tactical AK Airsoft AEG w/ M-LOK Handguard and Adjustable Stock (Model: Carbine)

"I get a ton of compliments for this PSD model. It's a great basis to make a Draco pistol. You can run this like an AK pistol removing the folding stock. Stock is solid no wobble. Not hard to deploy or put away, pull up hard to store or release.

I actually don't care for the included tank muzzle brake, so I ended up selling it to someone that wanted it. Handguard is nice with just enough space for small lights or a QD sling point. I do recommend getting NCStar 45 degree offset to have lights at a 11 or 1 oclock position so you can actually grip the fore end. I actually don't recommend a usual mlok grip since there's such limited space. You can opt for the really tiny hand stops. I bought a UTG brand so I rest the gun on a barricade or cover.

Sights aren't anything to write home about. I put a red dot immediately right on the rear sight block. The gas tube rails are probably for a red dot cover or sling point.

Receiver is great. Has a magwell spacer. Word on the block that steel parts are E&L origin. Though finding batteries could be a chore. Matrix 1200mah 7.4v, Valken 1300mah 7.4v, Airsoft com 1400 7.4v all fit. You may need to wire manage as the deans plug is reinforced, but chunky. Selector switch is crisp and may need some breaking in. Alternatively you could learn to disassemble and that way loosen the switch just slightly. Trigger pull is fair.

That being said I'm still running this entirely stock even after 5000 to 7000 rounds. It's pretty accurate, but I'm already considering changing for a 50 or 60 degree MR hop bucking. I'm mostly happy with the gearbox sound. It may need a better quality shim and regrease for a quieter gearbox. Alternatively you can quick change it for m95/100 spring to shoot 1J. I received a lot of comments saying how quiet it was after the spring change. You may not necessarily have to remove the gearbox from the receiver as you could free it after removing the grip and selector from the receiver and freeing up the magwell spacer. You could torque the gearbox so the QD spring guide clears the receiver. Gunfire's youtube shows this method with an E&L Gen 2 QD spring.

Tamiya users don't worry. Adapter is included!!!!

Overall, great gun stock. Pretty effective to 150ish feet. Like any gun you can upgrade it, but with this price point it doesn't hurt to run it out of the box until something breaks.

"I bought the AK-01 Carbine to build a game version of my Rifle Dynamics RD704, and looking at them side by side, it's amazing how well this Arcturus compares to the real steel. There's subtle differences of course, but overall it's impressive. The construction is solid and good looking, the finish is excellent on the steel receiver, and the M-Lok rail is a near duplicate to the real version. A Milspec Magpul stock fits with a little bit of wobble, which is to be expected. Included metal flash hider is aluminum, not steel, but looks decent. I bought mine along with an Arcturus 'standard switch' V3 gearbox in order to get rid of the crunchy micro switch, but now that that's replaced, I have no complaints about this gun. Looking forward to getting it on the field.

"Correction to previous review: I purchased the PSD model, not the PDW.
