Specna Arms SA-J82 CORE Gen.2 AK-74 Tactical SBR – Black

The Specna Arms SA-J82 CORE Gen.2 AK-74 Tactical SBR represents a refined take on the classic Soviet platform. This short-barrelled rifle (SBR) configuration combines traditional AK ergonomics with modern tactical modularity, making it an excellent choice for close-quarters battle (CQB) sites, indoor arenas, and players who value compact handling without sacrificing performance.

Key Features

• V3 Gearbox – robust, field-proven internals for reliable semi and full-auto operation
• Rotary Hop-Up – precision adjustment for consistent accuracy and hop stability across all engagement ranges
• Dual Rail Systems – 20mm Picatinny top cover + M-LOK gas tube for flexible accessory mounting (optics, lights, foregrips)
• Russian AK Side Rail – authentic Kalashnikov-pattern optic mount for period-correct milsim builds
• Sliding Multi-Position Stock – adjustable for player preference and tactical loadout balance
• Steel & Polymer Hybrid Construction – corrosion-resistant steel parts (receiver top, trigger guard, fire selector) paired with high-density polymer furniture for light, durable handling
• 310 fps (0.20g) – sites-legal performance across most UK indoor and outdoor venues
• Dual 125-Round Magazines – medium-capacity AEG mags supplied; lightweight and practical for skirmish play

Real-World Use Cases

This AEG excels in CQB environments where a short barrel and easy handling are paramount. Milsim enthusiasts building authentic Russian Spetsnaz or VDV loadouts will appreciate the genuine AK ergonomics and side-rail compatibility. The rotary hop-up and V3 gearbox make it equally suited to target shooting at ranges up to 40–50 metres with quality .25g or .28g BBs. Woodland and urban skirmishers benefit from the compact length (740 mm) without the weight penalty of full-length platforms.
