Owning one LCT, one gen 1 E&L and one PPS (E&L) PP-19 I can say the LCT color is matched close to the real black paint used on Russian AK's and I don't worry about rust

Plastic hop units can be problematic in the LCT and Cyma units are a good swap

The only other issues I found was a machined off centre front sight but a buddy helped me solve this so the aeg now shoots straight down the iron sights which is a challenge to achieve on some airsoft guns out of the box.

The last issue was the fake bakelite grips tend to crack around the base, I can't speak on the other grips and keep in mind it's several years old

LCT are not a complete copy so to speak if you compare it to VFC AK74's or E&L in terms of using rivets in place of Allen bolts or VFC having the correct spacing and height of the selector notches but they are a solid platform and once set up correctly it will be extremely reliable.

Now if LCT made accesories that didn't have LCT or Zenitco.tw on them I would buy a few more of their attachments but this is understandable to avoid copyright infringement

since owning the Tanker AK-104 mislabeled and sold as LCT's Draco I can say it isn't one I would sell because it's an all day non stop bb spewing monster and nobody likes an aeg they can't pick up with confidence that it's going to work when needed

Every airsoft gun is beautiful in the eye of the right beholder so go with what you like providing its got a history of reliability and replacement parts if needed and doesn't use proprietary internals
