Description

ELAKMS, a member of the "Essential" line manufactured by E&L, is one of the most detailed and realistically made AKMS 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.

ELAKMS is a modernized variant of the traditional AK rifle - a full-sized model with an underside folding wire stock. It is ideally suited for CQB, close- and mid-distance games, and operations. This 662/930mm long replica is fed from a steel magazine and shoots in a single and full-automatic mode.

Main elements like the body, outer barrel, underside folding stock, dust cover, gas block, sight block, gas tube, iron sights, and other small components are machined from steel. The only part made from the polymer is the pistol grip.
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.
At the front, we can find a classic plywood handguard with finger swells on the sides and a hand-stop for a firm grip and comfortable handling. The solid fixed stock provides adequate comfort and support during aiming down the sights.
The solid, steel underside folding stock is comfortable to use. It is easy to fold, handle in confined spaces, and simple to stash.
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, notched tangent with 0–1000-meter scaling and 100-meter increments.

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.

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