Details of the 4th generation:
This is the latest expansion stage of the E&L AK series.
It is now equipped with a Retro Arms Piston with 14.5 steel teeth, Begadi PRO HopUp, Begadi PRO Nozzle and the Begadi PRO Variohead. The special feature: The energy can be easily reduced in just a few seconds using the included adjustment tool. Changing the Springs and removing the Gearbox is no longer necessary. The seal is improved by the installed Begadi PRO HopUp rubber with matching Tensioner and the Begadi PRO aluminum Nozzle with two O-rings. The Gearbox is still equipped with our Begadi CORE EFCS/Mosfet.
Begadi PRO HopUp:
- This SAEG comes directly with a Begadi PRO HopUp rubber (FYL5 60°) with matching Tensioner.
- We recommend using 0.28 - 0.32g BBs.
- If you want to use heavier BBs, we also offer the MAG (R-Hop) Bucking and 7mm systems in the tuning options that can be booked
Begadi PRO Variohead:
- Our Begadi PRO VARIOHEAD is an adjustable, CNC-machined Pistonheads with which the energy of the gun can be quickly and easily reduced in stages.
- It is therefore not necessary to change a Spring or open the Gearbox to lower the energy. This is a great advantage for weapons without a spring change system.
- The energy can be reduced in 4 stages using the click system and the included adjustment tool. To do this, the tool is pushed into the Barrel from the front until the hexagon is anchored in the Pistonheads.
- The energy is then reduced in stages by turning (clicks). This is achieved by releasing a small amount (depending on the setting) of the air in the Cylinder to the rear.
- The setting remains in place via the click system even with stronger Springs and does not adjust.
Information on storage:
Always disconnect the battery from the gun when it is not in use! Otherwise your battery may be discharged by the continuous monitoring and thus be damaged
Inserting the battery:
With this AK, the lever on the side of the handguard must be released in order to remove the upper Receiver

Additional information on the warranty + Core:
The 4-year warranty mentioned above refers to the complete Semi AEG when the CORE Mosfet is installed, not just to the function of the Begadi CORE. However, this is the prerequisite for this extended warranty. If, for example, a different Mosfet is selected in the bookable special options in the Mosfet area (i.e. you ask us to remove the CORE and install a different Mosfet instead), the warranty is reduced from 4 years to the usual 2 years. In this case, the removed Core will not be included in the delivery but retained. Normally, we always supply removed components, but this is expressly not the case with the CORE - the CORE is only supplied in an installed state
