I’m definitely looking forward to this review. I’ve never wanted to own an AK platform until I saw TM’s new AKX so this video will truly help me decide to invest in an AK load out for this replica.
I saw and held an AKX at Midlands Airsoft fair over the weekend, can confirm they feel absolute quality in the hand. And with the full rail system, it no longer has the traditional ak draw backs when it comes to mounting optics or accessories. If I'd not picked up an MWS the week before, I'd definitely have bought an AKX! It's stunning.
Brilliant review as usual mate, ordered mine from defcon soon as i saw your overview vid, received it monday, absolutely love it, thanks for the heads up they had them in stock 👍
@Middle Aged Gamer got a PK-3 zenitco pistol grip, PK-6 foregrip, a Eotech exps3 holographic and a NGAL and suppressor 😀 but might change optic as its sitting a bit high for a decent cheek weld haha
3 proof marks around front trunion pin, triangle with arrow marking is Tula Arsenal factory and the 1975 is the year of production. Last marking is the serial number. Basically it's a AKM stamped steel receiver made at the Tula factory in 1975.
Great minds think alike, not only do I buy my Airsoft replicas from Defcon (who are utterly fantastic) but I also got my AKX from them. I've got an RK-0 grip, DTK- 2 Muzzle flash on, pistol red dot like yours and swapped out the stock for a fixed stock with a Magpul CTR. PS I bought my rk-0 grip from High pressure airsoft uk for £25 but it does clash with the curved mag a bit.
Hi there, the akx and akm are both virtually identical internally with the main difference the furniture, i.e., the top cover, stock, handguard etc.. if you want to hit the 75m mark, then a good starting point is the barrel, I tightbore and longer barrel, also a higher performance nozzle and bucking to lift heavyweight bbs. The only downside to the akx I found over time was the weight of the front end. The stock is so light that it feels unbalanced.
Hello I just bought a TM AKM what do I need to do to the akm for it to shoot heavier bbs more accurately and further distance like 75m would you be able to help me
Hi there, congratulations on the TM AKM purchase, the comon answer is a tight-bore inner barrel and bucking change, but i would highly recommend a bavtech hop arm and nub too. They have a good selection out there for various bb weights.
Hi there, hop-arm and nub go with bavtech. As for bucking, it depends on the weight of bbs you're using. As for inner barrel, a 6.01mm inner barrel will be more than enough, as for brand well I use mapleleaf but I would suggest you go with your favourite brand there.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk I will be using 0.36 bb weight I wanna be shooting 375 to 400 fps and around 75m which rubber would you say is best ? I think bavtac baba the inner barrel and bavtac nub
Looking forward to this. the outcome will determine if the AKX ends up as my first GBB rifle, or if the MWS does. Unless I upend both, and go for a HPA mtw. 😂 Either way, it will be the first non AEG for me.
What a nice piece of equipment :D May i ask how many shots you can do with 1 load of gas? And how often do you clean/service it? I'm thinking of getting a GBBR as my next airsoft. But currently i'm liking the simplicity of mine
Hi there, Thanks, it really is a great ak gbbr, I am able to get 2 full bags and a bit, weather dependent, as in colder weather, it will drop slightly. With regards to cleaning, it's really simple to do and a joy after a full day's airsofting to just wipe down and relube. At this moment in time, it really is the best out of the box AK.
Nice review! Has TM/Aftermarket caught up with internal replacement parts? Loved my AKM but parted with it after a year and half due to no replacement nozzles coming into the market. :( Shame to hang up such a beautiful replica due to no supply.
Hi there, from what I've seen so far parts are starting to flow out of third party factory's for the akm/akx. When ever a new tm product releases its always hard to find parts at first but slowly they do become available.
Hi there, Subscribed. Do you have any videos of CQB / or gameplay of content of this TM akx gbbr. Really want this rifle. Wanna see it in action. Been airsoft for years and won't to get back in this year 2024. Airsoft Hampshire.. Many Thanks
Hi there, thanks for the suggestion, I do plan on sprinkling in so gameplay this year at some point. My main focus has been on the Airsoft replicas, but I will be trying to include so gameplay as and when I can.
101impulse is awesome, what a shame. Anything tm related I grab there, Im from EU and even with import taxes it may be about the same price or even cheaper than in our Czech or EU shops
Hi there, being in the uk its colder here most of the year and runing Abbey or Nuprol 1.0 in the AKX is difficult, Spain is a much more warmer climate so yes you could run it on it no problem, when temperature drops there Abbey Ultra should be fine. Hope that helps.
Yes sorry my fps was with np2 green gas tou can easly get it around the 300fps mark on np1/Abbey 134a. If its still slightly over then a slight reduction in length of the inner barrel and your sorted
Hi there, for the first 500 round, I used low power nuprol 1 or Abbey 144a gas after I upped it to nuprol 2.0 green gas. Always be mindful of the temperature where you are, over 26/27c use the lower pressure gas, and under then standard green gas will be fine. Hope that helps.
Hi there, Thank you for your comment and the email you sent. Sadly, I do not sell my Airsoft collection through RUclips. Any sales are done through heavy recoil clubs discord and only to the uk.
Sorry to hear m8, the apfg mcx rattler gbbr is also in customs for the last week, I ordered some v3 mags from a different retailer and had them shipped by ups, they too were held but have arrived all banged up and missing the fill valves, the box was half wrapped in border force tape and open.
Hi there! I really want an AK for a next replica. But there's a big downside for me on Tokyo Marui... in my country we have a 400FPS (1.5J) limit. So, TM stuff is really underpowered here. This puts me in a considerable disadvantage regarding range and BB's speed. In a medium-range engagement, strafing at, let's say, 30 meters, people can easily dodge a under 300FPS flying BB. Moreover, here 99% are AEG users, which is already a big advantage over my GBBR's. That being said, I wonder if this AKX would be a good primary for me, in your opinion. I would be really happy if I could reach at least 350FPS with a .20, witch would render about 300FPS on .28's -- Oh, almost forgot.. here in my city we NEVER get below 25ºC over the whole year, nor even at night. So, propane here is always on good pressure.
Hi there, TM aegs are really underpowered for sure, especially the older ones, but the new mp5s are actually a lot better. In regards to the TM gbbrs, they are actually hitting well out of the box around 340fps with .2s. The main upgrades required are a tightbore inner barrel and the bucking of your choice. If It's still not hitting and enough for you, then a nozzle upgrade from any one of the major companies should do it.
Hi there, the current max distance ive shot it to is 35m at Halo Mill CQB where it was still flying stable and straight so its definitely going to be more than that. The efficiency is approximately 75 rounds per mag in temps around 8c as summer is on the way I expect more.
I think it'll probably be around $500 USD seeing how Cyma's M4 CGS / T8 clone is $500 - $550 in the US, even in Hong Kong, I see them selling the Chinese rifle clone for pretty much $500 USD as an example
Oh wow is your fully upgraded gun better than one out of the box ? Stunning mate. You just forget that this one works out of the box and ghk does or keeps working without some work
I’m definitely looking forward to this review. I’ve never wanted to own an AK platform until I saw TM’s new AKX so this video will truly help me decide to invest in an AK load out for this replica.
Same man but fyck you need to sell a kidney to buy this sexy rif

i believe the 1975 is a mock production date, so it's based on a model made in 1975. i could be wrong though.
Brilliant review as usual mate, ordered mine from defcon soon as i saw your overview vid, received it monday, absolutely love it, thanks for the heads up they had them in stock 👍
Thanks 😊 its an amazing service, how did you set yours up?

Awesome my friend, the akx is really something 👌.
I love the futuristic look of the top cover and the grip, but I will stick with the akm marui nothing’s like taking out someone with the iron sight 😅
I’m definitely sold but, this is definitely going to be a high cost build. But that’s the cost of airsoft lol. Great video 👍🏾
Do they still use pot metal externals, even for the receiver? If so, that's a nope from me.
I have honestly seen 2 of your reviews today! And I am still not sure what my first GBBR should be. A lot of them seem to not be in stock.
Best ak gbbr, agree. Never waste time and effort on ghk ak, trust me
Im not into airsoft but this sounds really nice on full auto
This or the akm ? Which is better for performance also what would I need to do to the akx for it to shoot 75m effectively?
Hi there, the akx and akm are both virtually identical internally with the main difference the furniture, i.e., the top cover, stock, handguard etc.. if you want to hit the 75m mark, then a good starting point is the barrel, I tightbore and longer barrel, also a higher performance nozzle and bucking to lift heavyweight bbs. The only downside to the akx I found over time was the weight of the front end. The stock is so light that it feels unbalanced.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk so it would be better to get a ctr stock maybe to balance things out would that make more sense ?
@@ufc786 I slightly heavier stock and possibly a lighter handguard too.

I own a TM AKM...my only wish was that mags were more availble
Try Impulse 101, they ship directly from japan
@@zigounettedoree3809 sadly Impulse 101 dont ship to denmark
Airsoft2go in Germany has 7 in stock right now
101impulse is awesome, what a shame. Anything tm related I grab there, Im from EU and even with import taxes it may be about the same price or even cheaper than in our Czech or EU shops
do you think that with abbey gass (red or green) we could get less than 300 fps for 0M distance and CQB use? i live in spain so.. xd
Hi there, being in the uk its colder here most of the year and runing Abbey or Nuprol 1.0 in the AKX is difficult, Spain is a much more warmer climate so yes you could run it on it no problem, when temperature drops there Abbey Ultra should be fine. Hope that helps.
@@MiddleAgeGameruk yes, its totally usable, the issue is if i could maintain less than 300.. :P
Yes sorry my fps was with np2 green gas tou can easly get it around the 300fps mark on np1/Abbey 134a. If its still slightly over then a slight reduction in length of the inner barrel and your sorted
i just got one, i wonder which bb weight is the best for it? to get the most accuracy. thank you!
Hi there, I have mine set for .25s for cqb, medium ranges and up I'd go for .28s
135psi green gas?
Hi there, for the first 500 round, I used low power nuprol 1 or Abbey 144a gas after I upped it to nuprol 2.0 green gas. Always be mindful of the temperature where you are, over 26/27c use the lower pressure gas, and under then standard green gas will be fine. Hope that helps.
I was considering picking up the TM ak gbb until I discovered the AKX existence
Cant wait
Is TM Akm mag compatible with this AKX? Thanks
Hi there, yes, the mauri akm magazine works with the akx.
Do you still have the rifle, and are you willing to sell it?
Hi there, Thank you for your comment and the email you sent. Sadly, I do not sell my Airsoft collection through RUclips. Any sales are done through heavy recoil clubs discord and only to the uk.
my akx is stuck in customs since the 9th....
Sorry to hear m8, the apfg mcx rattler gbbr is also in customs for the last week, I ordered some v3 mags from a different retailer and had them shipped by ups, they too were held but have arrived all banged up and missing the fill valves, the box was half wrapped in border force tape and open.

Still no magazines 😕
www.firesupport.co.uk has the akm mags in stock right now but not sure how long.
Christ no privacy there lol
not a fan of ak, but this is good
waiting for CYMA to reverse engineer it and put steel parts in for cheaper
I think it'll probably be around $500 USD seeing how Cyma's M4 CGS / T8 clone is $500 - $550 in the US, even in Hong Kong, I see them selling the Chinese rifle clone for pretty much $500 USD as an example
🇯🇵～👍👍👍👍👍❗
My ghk akms is much better , all internals aftermarket
is it pre 2019 ? because if it isn't then I doubt it will compete with any stock TMs.
