E&L are highly regarded for producing some of the best AK74 rifles.
The E&L “Essential” Line is designed to preserve the legendary AK quality of E&L, while at the same time offering a lower point of entry for consumers - maintaining all the features that allowed E&L products to be very realistic airsoft replicas.
Made of 100% steel, this rifle has a realistic appearance & feel with authentic construction and assembly of components that are perfectly fitted.
Real wood handguard & dense polymer pistol grip just like the real steel.
Improved internals and external finish brings practical performance of the Essential Series to the next level with a standard V3 gearbox design.
