Hello, everyone.

I am a novice player and have lurking the UK Airsoft threads/forums for quite a few months now, felt it would be appropriate to create an account and interact more here 😅

After some time-spent and research, I came to the quite firm decision to get my first AEG last month, which is a Evolution Airsoft E-104.

Torn between choosing the options of what LCT, E&L, Cyma, and Specna Arms - offer for AK-104/105 platforms.

- E&L AK 104 Essential
- LCT LCK-104
- LCT 104
- CM040D AK-105
- Evo E-104 Paratrooper variant
- Specna Arms SA-J08 EDGE™ 2.0

I do have some queries regarding any of the major differences these companies offer for a similar platform. For example I've heard the E-104 is more rebranding and slight modification of a Specna or Cyma model by Evolution Airsoft.

What do you guys suggest or think of the purchase decision? 😅Open to feedback and suggestions! : )

Wow, when did CYMA M.04X get so expensive? 

 

That gun, at that price point, I'd be looking for specific reasons not to get the Specna SA-J09

Full pot metal, quick change spring, and a GATE ASTER  for £200 is pretty tempting.  Orion gearbox is usually a yellow flag, but should be fine in chonky-boi V3 form.
