Before handling an airsoft gun or real firearm, remember, and remind those around you about these rules.
- Treat all guns as if they are loaded.
- Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on the target.
- Be sure of your target and what is beyond it.
Please message the mods if something is broken or wrong.

Help identifying this AK? Probably CYMA.
This is my friend's AK, so I have minimal details of the purchase and he's not 100% on the manufacturer. CYMA seems likely, as it's definitely a cheap entry-level type, but largely reliable.
I just finished replacing the plastic furniture with the railed versions he wanted, hence the originals being in the shot too. What's throwing me about it is that it's totally stockless, without any mounting points for one, rather than just having had the stock removed, and I can't find any stockless CYMAs.
I've been inside this thing several times, and I can confirm the gearbox suggests it's a TM clone rather than a VFC clone, as it's very basic stuff. It's got a nice new piston now, but the old one was the most basic bitch of basic bitches.
I suspect this will be an AK of Theseus kind of situation where I gradually replace parts for him until it's barely considered what it originally was, but for now it's 95+% original. Any help you can give? No big deal if not, but it'd be useful as his tame tech to know what it is. Or was.

Is my E&L AK supposed to look like that ?
Hi, I recently bought an E&L AK-105 and it was my first time buying a replica like this
It arrived two hours ago and when I unboxed it, I thought that the charging handle was odd and I decided to remove it from the replica to clean it and I decided to put it back, it has some scratches though
Then, I found a gab between the polymer handguard and the rest of the replica but I don't know if it's normal or not
And Finally, while using the fire selector, I found that it looks to be bent but as it is my first airsoft gun, I might be wrong
What do you think ?

Is running ATACS-FG acceptable?
I was considering ordering a full atacs-fg bdu set since my helmet is in atacs-fg, but would people give me weird looks for using it? It’s one of my favorite camos, but i know it kinda has a Russian association with it, and I don’t want people to get the wrong idea (I live in the southeast USA.)

Problems with Redwolf Airsoft preorder
Back in July, I preordered the LevAR 15 from Redwolf, and it had a preorder date of September 2024. I emailed them on the first, asking when about they would ship it. They said they didn't know. I asked when they would receive it at their office. They didn't know that either, citing production times and demand, but saying they would contact me when it got to their office. That was September 1st, now it's almost 3/4 of the way through the month and I haven't heard a peep from them. Should I ask for a refund, put more pressure on them to give me information, and both? Is this the first time something like this has happened with Redwolf Airsoft?

Compatibility question for AK Carbine AT-AK04
Hi guys, I would like to ask about Arctutus AK Carbine AT-AK04 about compatibility, what options of Magazines are best for it? Most likely when buying I will install Perun B3 with a clicker in it.
I also wanted to install a real Fab Defense GL-CORE CP stock on it, will it fit here? If not, are there any similar options?
Most likely I will order everything from Taiwangun
