Tokyo Marui has informed about the imminent launch of its AKM carbine replica in the GBBR version. The AKM is to be released in Japan on July 15. The cost of the replica is ¥ 59,800 (540 USD) excluding tax. Naturally, prices will vary depending on the country.

The carbine is equipped with a dedicated GBB mechanism based on a piston with a diameter of 19mm which, according to the manufacturer, provides an unprecedented "recoil" of the weapon. The replica naturally has many functions of the "original", including feeding the first BB into the chamber when cocking the replica and the bolt that returns to its starting position after the last shot, as is the case in the real AKM, or stripping the replica for cleaning in the same way as it the firearm.

TM also emphasizes the high standard of the replica from the outside, paying attention to special prints on the stock and the grip, which are to perfectly reflect the texture and color of wood and bakelite. In addition, the cover of the receiver is made of a pressed metal sheet, as is the case with the real AKM. Another of the metal parts of the new AKM by TM is an aluminum magazine holding 35, which is a standard accessory of the replica.

In the era of other well-made METAL AK replicas, is there still room for a TM product?
