As with many full metal AK platforms, a large part of the external build takes the form of stamped steel, giving you the appropriate weight and heft for an authentic replica. 

What makes this AK really interesting is its apparent favour by Western Private Military Contractors during the Global War on Terror era, being seen in the hands of British, American, Australian and many other nationalities carrying out close protection duties. This was due in part due to its affordability and local ammo availability but also its super simple yet effective skeleton folding stock, making it the fastest full-size AK platform to bring from stashed in the footwell to engaging the enemy. Also present on the Double Bell build is the iconic Romanian "Dong" handguard, constructed from real wood to complete the AIMS silhouette. If you seek an AK which sidesteps the default AK look, the Double Bell MD.65 AIMS AK47/74 AEG is exactly that!

A well built and well thought out Airsoft Electric replica of the AR-10 platform, which offers tough construction and a wealth of top-tier features such as a Quick Change Spring, Microswitch Trigger, MOSFET and other high-quality internals to make this perfect for beginners and experts alike.
