Although we’ve still got MOA EXPO very much in our heads, something that we saw that IWA earlier this year and were very excited about has finally landed at GUNFIRE, the x KPYK AK variants from SPECNA ARMS!

The good folk at SPECNA ARMS tell us;

You won’t find these handguards on ANY other replica. These parts are new to the market, designed by professionals from beyond the eastern border. Created by specialists, they guarantee high ergonomics and performance in all conditions – now, the handguards licensed by KPYK.UA are available only on the new J-Series PRIME replicas from Specna Arms, in three colourways!”

KPYK is a Ukrainian company specialising in providing a range of modern firearms accessories including AK system rifles, and parts from KPYK combine durability, interesting design and functionality to enhance the advantages of the carbine in use.

The Prime™ J-Series line of carbines is a combination of the J-Series Edge 2.0™ models along with new internal parts, and features high build quality, durability and very high performance without the need for additional tuning.

The SA-PJ12 PRIME™ is made largely of steel, and components include the barrel, breech chamber cover, outer barrel, trigger guard, magazine catch, selector wing, sling point, gas tube, folding butt stock, and stock.

Aluminium is used for other parts such as the sights, the discharge device, the dovetail mount, the slide with reloading handle and (perhaps most importantly) the handguard with CRC 1U004 gas tube overlay from KPYK. The elements combine quality workmanship, interesting design, functionality, and of course as you’d expect, battle-tested durability.

Inside the replica the features are equally impressive, and you’ll find:

  • 8mm J-Cage ball bearings (motor and piston pinion) and 8mm slide bearing (centre pinion)
  • Steel cylinder
  • Precision inner barrel with a diameter of 6.02mm
  • Set of CNC steel gears with a gear ratio of 16:1
  • Reinforced piston
  • Rotating TDC Magnus™ Hop-Up chamber for highly accurate and stable adjustment
  • Helium™ Flat Hop
  • Aluminium heads and nozzle
  • Powerful Specna Arms DarkMatter™High Speed27-35K brushless motor
  • Built-in Gate Aster electronic system

We have to say that we’ve waited patiently for these new models to arrive, and now that they’re here they look absolutely stunning, especially the Specna Arms x KPYK SA-PJ12 PRIME™ Aster ETU BLDC™ Half-Tan shown here today!

Looks like airsoft-OPFOR Christmas may have come early…
