interesting to se that ak airsofts are generally very similar from brand to brand, i have an ak105 with an ar buffer from factory, its a specna arms (very famous polish brand here in europe) and this tutorial works great
@@tigergamer4233 That's true. Cyma, E&L, and LCT are all basically the same, and other brands are too. No point in making different recordings if they're almost all the same
Yes. I've noticed that on my 1911-A1s. I got from KMC, WE, WELL, ARMY ARMEMENT, and they all look much like each others. Materials, designs, parts, some interchangeable parts, etc... To me, all replicas are made in one or two places...
For the Two screws under the rear sight unscrewing them is actually very easy. You can flip up the rear sight's adjustable thing and pass the allen key in the hole. When you're done unscrewing the first one you can pull the outer barrel a little bit forward enought for the second screw to be right under the rear sight's hole and do the same as the first one. You can't do that for reassembly tho.
@Bad_Guy_Airsoft Thank you for the instructions. I have found a quicker way to remove those two screws from the top of the outer barrel. You can use the allen key through the hole, that is under the backsights. Just flip it forward and you will see that hole. If you removed the first screw, than you can move the outer barrel actually forward and can use the allen key again right through the hole. Cheers!
Making sure the area with the spring is to the rear of the gas tube, push the hand guard on until it cannot go on any further. From there, twist until it rotates into position. You WILL need a vise of sorts if you're putting it back on with the hand guard spring.
For 7.4 LiPo I recommend: Matrix High Performance 7.4V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Model: 900mAh / 20C / Deans) For 11.1 LiPo I recommend: Matrix High Performance 11.1V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Model: 1000mAh - 20C / Deans) Both are from Evike.com Both fit under the dustcover. 11.1s are a tight squeeze but they can fit. I think an E&L essentials can take an 11.1 LiPo out of the box with only minor wear but I wouldn't risk it. For a faster trigger response the easiest upgrade to make on an E&L essentials is a motor upgrade. E&L's M170 High Torque motor is what they use for their Gen2 and Platinum line, but there are probably better options on the market. Any high torque motor should be better than E&L's M120 Standard motor.
Hello, how do I remove the flags hider? I know there’s like a pin where I push down and rotate the flash hider, but I heard there’s a small retention pin behind the main pin to be able to remove the flash hider, can you tell me or show me a video on how to remove that pin?
You should just be able to push down on the button next to the flash hider and then unscrew it. If the flash hider isn't moving, it might be glued on. You would have to boil the flash hider in some water to melt the glue first.
Hello there, I have a 74m model, and I need to remove the handguard retainer completely off the barrel to install a handguard. Any tips? How can i remove the front sight and the gas block connector or should i remove the rear sight.
Hey great video. I just got the E&L AKS-74N with the AK74 muzzle break. I cant get the pin in past the bottom of the muzzle device to be able to spin the device. Any advice?
That is a problem that most Essentials AKs have. What I did with mine was just break the plastic flash hider off, then file down the pin until the metal flash hider was able to screw on all the way. The Essentials line shouldn't have any glue, but if there is some just boil some water and soak the flash hider in it, then twist it off.
@Test-ic1dm I solved my problem by using a screw driver as leverage by threading it through and just twisting hard. It sheared off some of the bottom plastic, but I can still screw it on if I need to though
It looks virtually the same as my lct, but i remove the rear sight before loosening the grub screws that keep the outer barrel in place. It's way quicker as you can insert the key vertically then. Isn't that possible in e&l aks?
@@Bad_Guy_Airsoft If the rear sight can be removed by pressing it down and sliding it out it's a lot easier. I'd give it a try if you haven't already. It takes only a few seconds on my lct and (crappy) jg.

@@MrSkills2 thanks for the tip! I'll try that the next time I disassemble my AK.
you dont know how much you helped me with this video
thanks man
Glad to help!
thank you for this tutorial im going to follow this video in order to safely install a side mount for a dust cover rail
4:40 you remove the nut before unscrewing the bolt.
@@2lbsTrigrPull you are 100% right. I forgot to mention: do not do this. It breaks or damages the spacer

bro thanks soooo much

Can you show a reassemblely? My upper hang guard wont get back on

Thanks man! I just got the akm today but still dont know what type of lipo battery that fit into
For 7.4 LiPo I recommend: Matrix High Performance 7.4V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Model: 900mAh / 20C / Deans)
For 11.1 LiPo I recommend: Matrix High Performance 11.1V Stick Type Airsoft LiPo Battery (Model: 1000mAh - 20C / Deans)

you really didnt need to take the handguard of the gas tube
@@hector_salamander It's a good thing to know how to do
@@Bad_Guy_Airsoft i guess but only when you want to change it

So you can't loosen the flash hider by itself you need heat to loosen it up?
Usually that's the case. Boiling the orange tip in water will loosen it and it'll be easy to take off then.

Hey just a question what is the code model of that e&l cuz I couldn’t find that folding stock in the e&l site?
It's discontinued. Which is a shame, caus I just fucked up mine beyond repair...

It might be possible by removing the rear sight, but it isn't too terribly difficult to remove the screws without doing so.
