E21A Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 For the cost of that gun, I’d be buying something better than a nuprol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steveocee Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Nuprol = cheap crap rebrand. Your future self will hate you for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Rogerborg Posted February 16, 2020 Supporters Share Posted February 16, 2020 That is pretty distinctive. However if you want an AK with a slidey-stock and rails, I'd note that this'un is EBB, has a 6.03mm stainless barrel, and a quick change spring: https://www.taiwangun.com/en/electric/ask209-tactical-ebb-full-metal-aps I see you've already got a Nuprol, so I'm guessing you're happy enough with the brand. I have an ideological issue with their strategy of rebranding other people's stuff and marking up the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very much depends on which model you get. The ones numbered below 40 (CM0.28 for example) are copies of the TM AKs from yeeeeears ago. They're OK....for the money (and they ARE cheap). The ones numbered 40 and upwards are copies of the VFC designs and are definitely better. The externals are significantly better put together, the internals will be pretty much the same but on the whole they feel more solid. And they're still quite cheap. For reference I owned and used a CM0.45 for a couple of years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that's the problem: you'll never know, and that applies from one batch to the next. CYMAs, you know what you're getting, and you're not paying for anything more than you need. All that said, I'm struggling to find anything that's quite as Operator as that Nuprol... eh... "romeo alpha nomad". The heart wants what it wants, and if it's what you want, at the price that you want, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
