A series of American rifle replicas by ForceCore Industries has hit in numbers the popular on airsoft market “M type replicas under 1000 PLN” section and can courageously compete with other manufacturers. Characteristic features of ForceCore replicas are the solid craftsmanship of the exterior, almost 100% “full metal” construction, efficient and stable stock performance as well as a wide array of interesting and original models.

The quality of craftsmanship allows us to compare ForceCore products without any second thoughts with pricier products from well-known brands. Specific elements of the replica, such as both parts of the body and handguard were fitted together exceptionally well and it is difficult to pinpoint any loose spots. In addition, the body features effective, laser engraved manufacturer markings with a characteristic “frog” of Navy Seal Team.

Parts made from a durable alloy of zinc and aluminum include, among others, the entire body with RIS rails, outer barrel, buffer tube, flash hider and all manner of manipulators. Remaining elements such as pistol grip, magazine and AN/PEQ case for the battery– like in the original – were made from a polymer. A frame stock was made from steel.

The top of the body has a long, 22mm, RIS mounting rail,  which allows for attachment of additional accessories such as optical sights. It also features a set of flip-up iron sights. The outer barrel has a 14mm, left-hand thread finish with a flash hider mounted on it. The base of the buffer tube has two QD tactical sling swivels.
