Here is the thing about CYMA products. I own some Echo 1 Aks, and they retail for WAY more money. But the CYMAs seem far better built. The key issue that I have found on on Airsoft aks is that you HAVE to have an all metal hop up chamber. The echo 1s that I have don't. Any awkward or misplaced mag reload can bend or warp the delicate edge of the hop up chamber tube, thus rendering the gun forever suspect. However, even CYMA's fit and finish is pretty good. It just seems more solid and beefy like an AK should. They don't feel like toys. And seeing as you can sometimes get a CYMA AK for at or less than $100, and anything close to the same quality is at least $70 more, I don't understand what you're waiting for.
