G&G RK Beta AK Carbine AEG

Build Quality: The build quality of the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is very good, G&G Airsoft Rifles in general are well built. You are going to find metal in most of this AEG Airsoft Rifle including the receiver, dust cover, trigger guard, trigger, selector switch, barrel, front and rear sights and the magazine. The only plastic to be found will be in the pistol grip, rear stock and 3 of the picatinny rails. Fit and finish is very good but the stock and pistol grip material does seem to show scratches really easily.

Realism: The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is a 1 to 1 scale Airsoft reproduction of the AK 47/74 in a compact modernized version. We don’t believe it is based on exactly one specific brand or type of AK 47 or AK 74, but is more or less a stylized version designed and built by G&G. The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle does have a lot of metal and weight to it adding to the realism and most of the mechanical parts work similar to a real steel version of an AK 47/74. G&G has added a bit of a bolt cycle motion with a motor that actuates it to some degree but this is not like the look and feel of a real internal bolt from an actual AK 47/74. Still a nice touch.

Pros:

• Lots of metal in construction where you need it with good overall weight and feel.
• 6 rail attachment options up front for lots of mounting positions.
• Left side option to attach an additional AK style sight mount.
• Adjustable front sight for elevation.
• Nice and compact for easy maneuverability.
• Rear stock has lots of room for battery sizes and options.
• Dust cover comes off for easy access to internals.
• G&G high quality build.
• Comes with sling mounting options.
• Super easy hop up adjustment slider.
• Nice high capacity 600 round metal magazine.
• No orange tip.

Cons:

• Rear sight is all but useless.
• Stock and grip scratch really easily.
• Priced on the higher side.

Comments: The G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle may be priced a bit on the high side for some people but it is a solid AEG Airsoft Rifle and it seems there are not as many AK options out there so it is nice to have an offering from G&G. We like the almost full metal construction and we find the modernized styling and compact size to be appealing and would make it a great option for CQB Airsoft games. We are not sure what is going on with the rear site, as it looks like it is a sight, but does not have the sight grove in it? Maybe we are missing something here but other than opting to put a red dot way up front, your only other option is to put an AK side rail and mount a sight on the rear just above the metal dust cover. We are hoping when we make our Field Test Shooting Video for the G&G RK Beta AK AEG Airsoft Rifle, it performs well for me to justify the higher price point.
