KWA AKG-KCR Full Metal 6mm Gas Blowback 40rd Airsoft Rifle, Black
The venerable AK design has withstood the test of time, however it falls short in fulfilling the needs of the modern gunfighter. Custom shops recognized the need to modernize the reliable AK platform, and have introduced several key modifications. First, the gas piston has been extended to reduce the felt recoil. A rear sight was added and moved to the rear of the dust cover. This not only allowed for windage adjustment, but also increased the sight radius by 64%. A Galil style thumb safety has been added as well as an M249 style gun grip. The stock has been changed out to a carbine stock tube to allow the installation of retractable stocks. The KWA AKG-KCR is based off of the KWA AKG platform, but with a rear sight, then moved to the rear of the dust cover. This allows for the windage adjustment and improved accuracy with the increased sight radius. With the help of the improved sights, the user of the AKG-KCR can make full use of the incredibly accurate Type 4 Hop-Up System. A Galil style thumb safety has been added as well as an M249 style gun grip in order to provide users with a more convenient way to select firing modes. The AKG side folding stock has also been replaced with a Mil-Spec carbine stock tube. This allows users to not only adjust the length of pull, but also adds options to pick from a variety of retractable stocks. A 3-positition picatinny rail and a flat top railed dust cover have been installed, further modernizing the KWA AKG-KCR.
