all ak-74 variants

[CKinnerley]

Both the CYMA models and these seem very similar on the surface, EBB and full metal, which one to go for?

[Liquid_snake]

Better yet will they be any good? Ive never really warmed to EBB rifles although this might just win me over-can never have enough AK's

Does anyone know if its real wood as well?

[The Boss]

it says wood handguard in the description on the site i found it on, but 380-440 FPS is too hot for me and it might suck down the ROF

...but it looks sexy

[L4byr1nth]

I wonder if these are actually made by JG, or are a rebrand?

As far as I know with the TM AK EBB system the gearbox isn't too heavily altered, so a spring swap shouldn't be that hard I don't think.

I wonder if these are actually made by JG, or are a rebrand?

Would it matter end of the day? I mean I could have been living in a hole but personally I've not seen any info about these factories that supply JG or JG's place itself; so who knows whether it'd even be a good thing if they were JG originals??

[L4byr1nth]

I'm not sure - price difference?

Maybe they're a CYMA rebrand

Ben.

[CKinnerley]

Heh, well that'd sure be some irony for you.

they are not made by JG, any of those cartons if you buy it dont say anywhere Jing Gong or JG. made by a 3rd party i cannot confirm the name yet i think is Golden Eagle but not 100% sure yet.

I'm starting to doubt some of your posts with the JG rebranding. Nothing personal, I guess I'm just looking for evidence.
I've never heard of JG rebranding guns. Maybe its just a coincidence the 3rd party company that makes the G36s for JG decided to use the JG branded gears and parts then I dunno, I still think they're JG made, but I don't have as much info on chinese companies as you do.

These JG Blowback Aks are kinda old news. I saw the AK74 awile back, but the other guns look new. Can't recall where I saw them, I wanna say AirsoftNews, but I'm not positive on that. I made a topic about them on ASF awile back.

[EmptyChambers]

Not a copy of the TM recoil system. Its just hooked to the piston unfortunately. Pretty shabby in all honesty, considering what else is on the market now...

i was kinda waiting for this kind of answer from Echo1 land where they still think Echo1 makes all things. Dont you think its kinda weird if packaging dont say anything of Jing Gong? and dont you think why its weird that Jing Gong models have so many different model item numbers?!? like M4/M16/HK416 series all goes with F66xx numbers...while the G36 series goes with G608/0638 numbers...dont that explain the easiest way to you that it aint the SAME factory.... some boxes say J.G.Works like the trading company use their name in here, some say Golden Eagle (which is another factory and nothing to do with Jing Gong other than JG buying their stuff) and some did say like Jing Gong on some cartons...Don't you feel anything strange there why is 1 factory have so many different names/item numbers while any other factory have same item numbers all the way...how about you hop on a plane to hong kong and i take you for a spin at the factories then you believe it, otherwise its just your word against mine and i think mine at this point is more credible than yours.

Outsourcing is completely normal. For instance the company I work in at the moment buys a lot of stuff from other manufacturers, slaps the stuff into their own cartons and checks that the quality is OK. This way the only thing I care about in this is if the brand name holders require a certain quality level from their partners. JG stuff is generally so good that I can't see the problem.

[Frontiers]

yeah in this time and age many companies have to outsource things, just the thing is that many are not willing to admit that they don't make it. in my opinion the Golden Eagle factory made products(Augs, G36's and Sigs, G3's) are best what under JG name have to offer and then comes the FB metal series M4/HK416 though some of them are sloppy aswell (FB6625 reviewed here in arnies is POS) and for AKs i would go simply to Cyma or DBoys as they are much more bang for the buck and even in steel which JG can dream of, cheaper AKs JG make are garbage and the more expensive ones are not that superb that it would warrant the higher price they charge for. And my note about Echo1 simply because like half(or atleast most i know) of the US people still think that Echo1 somehow magically make their things even it holds nothing true in there, i know the Echo1 guy here in china personally and i know what they do and manufacture certainly aint in their repertuare.

The only thing I find interesting about these guns are that they, according to the box, are CED coated. Doesn't VFC CED coat their AKs?

[chownsy]

I spoke to a friend whose boss is something to do with JG,

i asked them for details on items such as thier GBB pistols, their AK's and i was told that another factory makes these.

I though this meant that JG had 5 or 6 factories where 1 made the M4 series, 1 the Mp5 series etc etc

so frontiers aint lying.

i think soon if people dont start beleiving what frontiers says. he will shut up and take all his good news with him.

then we will be buggered.

[mrpugster]

get back to us when you have a copy of the recoil system that's reliable. a moving bolt catch does nothing to excite the masses

[crimeblitz]

im sure jg has another trade name which is golden bow, maybe its them

[Frontiers]

im sure jg has another trade name which is golden bow, maybe its them

its not that one, Golden Eagle (the one with the wings) is totally different factory Golden bow comes from badly translated google translator when you throw Jing Gong in chinese to there

[The Boss]

I'm not sure - price difference?

Cyma on AirsoftGI is $200 (CM046)

JG on airsoftmegastore $190 (ak-74u)

so pretty much the same price but i would get the ak-74un which is only $180
