Ah - where do I even start. The Tokyo Marui AKX is where it all started for me, my first ever airsoft gun. Some say I jumped straight into the deep end with it but if you ask me, it’s the only way to do it. A gun I’ll never sell, I’ve even started stocking up on spares to further future proof it. I’ve had it close to 2 years now and I now own 5 guns including an M4 MWS, I can comfortably say the AKX is still my favourite of the bunch, never skipped a beat on me. the only ever time it failed on was in the middle of winter at around 2 degrees Celsius on an outdoor field on full auto, the nozzle wasn’t sealing as it had completely frozen up. I warmed up the bolt and mag with my hands and it was back to normality - this issue is totally normal for gas guns in cold temperatures. I must say, the gun shoots exceptionally well out of the box - my first 3 skirmishes I had ran it completely stock internally and it done just fun (as expected from a Tokyo Marui) however it did lack a little punch, so I updated the following: (I went balls deep in on the upgrades) - tight bore inner 6.01mm barrel 250mm length, which yes - does slightly stick out of the front when the muzzle is off. Some people did say it was too tight for an auto capable gun, to which I would ever so slightly agree I think the 6.03mm barrels would do just fine. But the 6.01 never let me down and enables absolute laser beams. - QU4D hop rubber, at first i put in as experimental because they were new on the market - it’s safe to say I haven’t looked back and now have one in my MWS. - 70degree hop nub, you can comfortably hop .30g BBs stock, I just went the extra mile. - ibex NPAS, great little unit would recommend holds its adjustment without fail. - Bavtac 115% recoil spring, you’ll realise quickly the stock spring feels very sluggish and lifeless. Again, would recommend if you’re after that snappy realistic bolt kick. - heavy recoil bolt weight, in all honesty probably not needed. I’ve also bought a Airtac HPA adaptor, lines and tank for it too but nowadays I’m after realism, I’m currently running 6 gas mags. (The reloads are just too satisfying). I won’t bother going into the furniture but one thing I would say is to change out the stock, it’s in my opinion the worst thing about the gun. all in all, I’m about £1,500.00 into and yes it’s a lot of money for what is in reality a toy. Would I do it again if I didn’t have the AKX, yes I fucking would. Honestly for anyone thinking of getting an AKX or even the AKM - what a platform it is. (I can assure you that the grip is now on the gun the correct way round ?)
