Anatomy of M86 - AK47 for Airsoft Enthusiast

The Anatomy of M86 - AK 47 - A Review

It has a cloned version 3 metal gearbox fully upgradable. - shoots really well out of the box around 280-300 fps on .2 bbs and almost 350 with .12 bb's. - plastic hi-cap mag holds 400+ bb's. (TM metal mags will fit and vice versa and all other ak47 mgb mags out there) - 8.4v 1200 mah subc ni-cd batts (9.6 subc will fits as well on the fixed stock with some minor trimming) - metal parts - upper receiver, outer barrel, rear sight, trigger and trigger guard, selector switch, butt plate and sling mounts. - one piece precision (brass, 450mm in length, 6.07 in diameter) metal barrel - adjustable hop up system (not replaceable to TM hop-up assy unless modified by an expert) - a 15 amp fuse.

Recommended 20 amp fuse when using Sanyo 9.6 battery pack. - it weighs quite heavy but not too much.

Accessories for the m86p version (m86a has no accessories):

1. L.A.M. and taclight

2. Red dot scope (adjustable)

3. Triple railing (can be remove)

Current price : As Feb 2006... - 3300-3600php available at Carriedo center near Quiapo church. cheapest place to get this we know so far. It is also available in Divisoria Mall.

Durability: Performance and reliability in the hi-end game fields (once fully optimized)... Honestly, the only problem I had with this aeg is the .2 misfeeding issues on mag 1 although fixed. On mag 2 it was quite ok no problem at all so there goes quality control issues again as usual. Out of 10 I'll give it a whopping 10.0001 coz it's tough, it doesn't jam, simply so reliable the way it's real steel big daddy is. But then again it's an ACM aeg so some works fine and some don't due to quality control issues yet DE's and it's reputation is still good afaic.

Maintenance... If I'm in the mood I will prepare my gun before a game like a quick tune-up on a Saturday night and that means opening the gearbox, clean and re-lubricate the highly abused cylinder assembly. Batteries freshly charged, clean and shines up inner barrel and a special thing I do on the hop-up area. Bottom-line - m86 is really easy to disassemble and re-assemble compared to the well r6.

Upgradability : For FPS increase based on my experience you can put hi-end springs like m120-m130 or sp120-sp130 etc. if metal bushings and proper shimming have been installed first then hopefully you'll hit 380-410 fps more or less. stock gears and motor will crank such springs but the stock battery will definitely go unless you're lucky. For m140 spring and higher, stock gears will go unless you wana break them first or the gearbox case. Although mine after 3 full months of abuse are still good using x120 and m120 springs.

Conclusion : Double Eagle - M86 Ak47 assault rifle replica aeg hplpeg simply can compete well in the battle fields from low to hi-end games. Overall score of 9. It's cousin cm028 ak's are basically doing the same things by now.

Besides, any ACM AEG once in the hands of a really serious enthusiastic airsofter addict doesn't matter what type of gun it was modeled to, it's the person using it and how he uses and takes care of it that really counts.
