Hello everyone, little quiet around here lately, hope there is still some of that knowledge here I remember.

I took a break from the game in 2016 and now looking to get back going again. I have noticed there is pretty much no more CYMA ak's compared to back in 2015 when lots of versions were in country. I was planning on grabbing a CYMA AK but the options are limited big time, I am looking for a something with a folding stock like a shorter 105, or Aks74u

Now all I am seeing is the Lancer Tactical ones, which if I can remember Lancer was not a great brand. I guess there is a new batch cause ow they come with a mosfet and full metal bodies quick change spring, hard to find any reliable reviews on them though other than one from Airsoft GI. For about $360CAD are they even worth it?

Next I see Double Bell, which I heard used to be Dboys, again very little reviews on these newer versions. These are priced lower than the Lancers, but without the mosfet. Anyone picked up one of these lately?

E&L I also see they're still kicking and prices aren't too bad in the mid $400's but they don't come with a mosfet or a quick change spring system. All I can find is the "Essential" line which seems to be a little more bare bones but still about $450.

LCT are the most expensive and have unreal externals but I do not know much about the stock internals and if it worth the price. Really I am looking for something I won't have to open the gearbox up before going to play a game.

If anyone has any input, suggestions, anything to add it would be appreciated.

Cheers!

***EDIT - I am talking guns that are in country and in stock at local retail
