"Great first AEG would recommend!
by Leo M. on 02/10/2024
"I love this gun (Model: M4A1 Carbine / Black). Specna Arms knows how to make high quality stuff for lower prices. This gun has been through a lot and with the external modifications I have made, it looks like it's been through a war, and it still works as if I just got it. I recommend this not only to all beginners, but even more experienced players.

"Purchased for roughly $150. Works very well out of the box. Specs are not correct on Evike. Came with a metal hand guard and an x-asr. Wired to deans in the buffer tube with a mini tamiya adapter. Comes with one Hi-Cap, dejamming rod, stickers, ads, a terrible manual, and an m90 replacement spring. Works with 11.1 but gets warm after mag dumping. Arrived very very very dirty as well.

Shoots hot out of the box (450-500). Nothing is ambidextrous.

Shoots well though and has a higher rate of fire expected for this price range. Feels solid and well made in hands but all buttons are loose and rattle. Fake bolt release switch bangs with every shot and led me to believe something inside was seriously broken, but it was just a bad cosmetic switch (as the bolt does not lock). Mag release button is junk and dropped multiple mags just plinking targets. Took all m4 mags I had besides an arcturus tactical mid-cap but all mags had issues with falling out. Hi-cap arrived broken. extremely limited batter space in buffer tube with xasr in there. To run an 11.1 small stick you will not be able to collapse the stock fully.

All things considered for $150 this or the arcturus sport are probably your best bet on a budget. Most issues are just inconveniences and at this price point they aren't issues. It shoots well it is feature rich in usable modern features at the cost of a bit of jank. Amazing starter gun or buddy gun.

"I bought the tan m4a1 back in 2021. Three years later, this thing is running perfectly. I put an aftermarket RIS, tube sight, broomhandle grip, and flashlight on it. The QuickChange spring is great. It runs perfectly on 2s lipos. The polymer receiver feels great, almost like metal. The quality is outstanding; I haven't broken a single thing in 3 years. The only problem I have had is that it does not shoot when exposed to cold weather for a while. Replacing the O rings should fix that. 10/10 AEG.

"Just to clear up any questions about the gun (I got the SA-C08/M4 CQB keymod), the handguard is 8 inches long, the orange tip is removable (I had to burn it off as I couldn't remove the set screw as it was glued in), it comes wired to tamiya but comes with a deans adapter, the stock can be replaced with a King arms pdw stock (you have to file some parts because of some slight fitment issues).

"This is THE best M4 for beginners in 2023. I’ve seen plenty of others online recommend it as well, including Evike themselves. It has good internals and externals, and by swapping the hop-up bucking and nub, it’ll much more accurately. I cannot stress this enough- if you want an airsoft M4 without dropping upwards of $200, this is the best gun you can get. If not an M4, try the CYMA CM040, CM045 and CM048 series.

"I got the Specna Arms SA-C09 Half Tan model and got a chance to test it out today (5/13/23).

In the Box (Gun Only option):
*SA-C09 gun
*Front and Rear Flip-up iron (polymer) sights
*Barrel Cleaner
*Hi-Cap Magazine (380rds)
*Quick-Springs (M120 installed and M90)
*Female Dean-Small Tamiya Connector Adapter
*Manual
*Sticker sheet

Attachments/Accessories I bought for the gun:
*Avengers Enhanced Polymer 370 Round Hi-Cap Magazine for M4/M16 Series Airsoft AEG Rifles
*Matrix High Performance 7.4V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Configuration: 1450mAh / 20C / Small Tamiya)
*Lancer Tactical 1 x 30 Mini Red/Green Dot Sight Airsoft Scope w/Picatinny Riser Black

I got this as my first airsoft gun believe it is a great quality one. This model shoots well on semi and auto-fire with no jams at the moment from the magazines. The magazine that it came with fits well. There's a very slight wobble but nothing too extreme for the magazine not to feed the gun properly (It seems that many magazines have a slight wobble with some not feeding the gun properly). I got another Hi-cap magazine and it works well too. The stock is sturdy and does have a wobble when wiggling it. However, there's no wobble while shooting. The two stock buffer tubes can fit a battery that is between 5 to 5 1/2 inches (not including wire). I would recommend getting a battery with a Deans plug with a regular, long, or short-length wire. Using the deans-tamiya connector adapter takes up space. I had to expand the stock to full length to have the battery I got to fit comfortably. I had to bend and fold the wires a certain way to get it to fit inside.

Overall, I have no regrets about buying this specific gun. I would definitely recommend this gun to others.

"Specna Arms SA-C06
Out of the box, a great, lightweight M4. Tough for being an all-plastic gun, runs great with a 7.4 or an 11.1, but if you spam the trigger a ton on semi-auto with an 11.1 the electronics may lock up for a second or two. The stock being plastic on a plastic buffer tube has a bit of the classic M4 wobble, but it is easily corrected with some well-placed electrical tape. Battery room is adequate, make sure you run a Deans, as the supplied adapter can make for a snarl of wiring that can make collapsing the stock challenging. The pop-up sights are great, all metal and adjustable front and rear. Remove the inner dust cover or you will have to hold the charging handle back to adjust the hopup.

I bought two as loaner and trial guns to see how they did for the sub $200 gun category and they are great intro guns. I just converted one to HPA with a Redline N7 Milsim and apart from a minor bit of grinding in the gearbox shell (wire guides by the trigger assembly) it is quick and relatively easy, and you can keep the safety!

If you're looking for a great, inexpensive M4 this is a solid choice

"I’ve been researching for a _$200 AEG for a while and finally landed on the Specna Arms Core series. I purchased the C011 and it has been great for me. I have yet to field it, but I have fired at least a 1000 bbs and it has done well. Now to the pros and cons.

Pros:
-Metal hand guard
-Metal Mock Supressor
-Pretty good rate of fire
-Mine came with an X-ASR mosfet (I’ve heard some dont, but I’m not sure)
-Can hit a human sized target pretty consistently from 130-150 feet
-Not heavy

Cons:
- High cap magazine would stop feeding after 3-5 shots and was very wobbly (easy fix with a bit of electrical tape wrapped around it)
-Loud like a nail gun (can be a pro)
-May have to purchase other mags preferably mid caps like I did

Overall, great aeg and I hope to field it soon!

"I did a lot of research looking into budget aegs and ended up purchasing this in the sa-co9 model. I was not disappointed and would highly recommend.

The rifles performance is not exceptional but feels clean and tight. very good quality internals Make this an ideal aeg to upgrade as you see fit. I was also surprised when my rifle arrived and I found a mosfet in the battery compartment.

Externally the rifle is extremely well made. I am a fan of plastic replicas but finding a good quality plastic can be tricky. This is the best I've seen by far. Thick durable plastic much like a g&g for most of the construction. Fiberglass infused polymer body looks and feels firearm grade and aluminum for grip adds a nice feel. This is not an abs replica and I would say it's even a step above nylon polymer. the rifle is a very good weight and feels solid and tight.

Over all what attracted me to the specna core was the emphasis on quality and durability. Again on receiving and playing with the rifle I was not disappointed. This is a high quality and a very affordable replica packed with surprisingly premium features.
