Description

ELAK105, a member of the "Essential" line manufactured by E&L, is one of the most detailed and realistically made AK-105 replicas on the market. The ELs are fabricated in an authentic arms factory using modern manufacturing methods. This translates to high performance and superb quality of the external elements.

ELAK105 is a modernized variant of the AK-74 rifle - a carbine-length model with a left-side folding stock and polymer furniture. It is ideally suited for CQB, close- and mid-distance games, and operations. This 586/824mm long replica is fed from a polymer magazine and shoots in a single and full-automatic mode.

Main elements like the body, outer barrel, dust cover, gas block, sight block, gas tube, iron sights, and other small components are machined from steel. The only parts made from the polymer are the pistol grip, magazine, stock, and handguard with the gas tube cover.
Like the original, the replica's body is machined from stamped steel for superb resistance to wear and damage. It is further covered in an anti-corrosion coating. The steel dust cover is placed in a machined groove in the gas block and secured with a spring-loaded push-button.
A standard dovetail side rail is placed on the left side of the body to attach dedicated optical sights, adapters, and scope mounts. The element is machined from steel and is solid-riveted to the receiver.
At the front, we can find a modernized polymer handguard with finger swells on the sides and a hand-stop for a firm grip and comfortable handling.
The polymer, left-side folding stock provides adequate comfort and support during aiming down the sights. The stock has a small compartment secured with a spring-loaded cover for storing small items like a cleaning kit.
The standard AK-pattern iron sights consist of the adjustable front sight pole placed in front of the gas block and a rear sight aperture integrated with the sight block. This technical choice keeps the optimal sightline matched with a compact design. The rear sight uses an adjustable, U-notched tangent with 0–500-meter scaling and 100-meter increments.
The 310mm long outer barrel ends with a 24x1.5 CW thread. It is outfitted with a booster-type muzzle device - a derivative of the one used in the AKS-74U subcarbine.

The heart of the replica is a V3-type gearbox with a quick spring change and an ultra-compact MOSFET. V3 also has a steel cylinder, a high-speed electric motor, and a full metal hop-up chamber. All of the above translates to optimal performance out of the box and a good base for further tuning.

ELAK105 is ideal for players looking for a no-nonsense replica that can be used in CQB, close to mid-ranges, and historical reconstruction. It also grants a good starting point for internal and external modifications.
