Yeah, most of it is steel. Can't complain about that.
The Unicorn sounds nice, but the price is nearly double (the prices I see, not the ones you see - it's closer on those ones). I do like the finish as well.
Unicorn doesn't come from the factory with a gearbox or tightbore at all. Most places put the CYMA gearbox in it, and it isn't quite as feature filled as the BOYI, but I guess it is forgivable. Boyi comes with a mediocre battery and sling as well... a plus for a lot of people.
As for the hand guard, the second version looks much much nicer. I'm not sure exactly what is new about it, but it certainly looks nicer in my opinion...
First version AK74U
