I had a CA AK74 compact a while ago. That was the best shooting AEG I ever had. Total brain fart for selling it too
If I was collecting more guns again I would buy a CA AK74 long full metal version with out a second thought. If that is true about the piston, it wasn't a problem I had, but I didn't own it that long either. But really, its just a piston, replace it and own a kick ass gun. $900 though, not quite Macdonalds wages to cover the cost.
