Description
Cyma 74 Classic AEG (Real Wood, CM048)
The Cyma CM048 is an electric airsoft rifle in the style of the classic AK74, with real wood furniture. The AK74 is one of the most recognisable rifles ever made, and the warm wood handguard and stock give this replica a traditional, characterful look that suits Eastern Bloc, Cold War and milsim loadouts.
Cyma is known for robust, good-value AK replicas, and the CM048 has been a popular choice for years. It is a solid, dependable rifle for players who want a classic AK without spending a fortune.
Build and design
A European retailer listing for the CM048 gives a length of about 960mm and a weight of about 3.3kg, with a metal body (described as steel) and wood and plastic furniture. The real wood furniture, as our product name states, gives the rifle a warm, authentic look and feel that plastic furniture cannot match.
The same listing describes an AK-type side mount for a scope or red dot, so you can add an optic using an AK side-rail mount, while keeping the classic iron sights.
Internals
The listing gives a metal Version 3 gearbox with 7mm bearings and metal gears, a 6.03mm brass inner barrel and an adjustable hop-up with a metal hop-up chamber. The Version 3 gearbox is the AK standard, so parts are widely available.
It lists semi and full auto, and recommends 0.20g to 0.25g BBs.
Magazine and battery
The listing gives a 600-round high-capacity magazine compatible with standard AK AEG magazines, and an 8.4V battery with a small plug. Please check the manual or ask us about battery space before buying one.

Care and maintenance
Take the battery out after every game and store it separately at a sensible storage charge, rather than leaving it connected inside the replica. Charge LiPo batteries with a proper balance charger, keep them in a LiPo-safe bag and never leave them charging unattended; NiMH packs should be charged with a smart charger that stops when the pack is full.
Run a cleaning rod with a lightly dampened patch through the inner barrel from time to time to clear dirt and residue, which keeps the hop-up consistent. Use good-quality seamless BBs, never reuse BBs that have been on the ground, and wipe the outside over after damp or muddy games. Leave gearbox work, shimming and spring changes to a competent technician.
Wipe the wood furniture with a dry cloth after damp games and let it dry naturally at room temperature; a light coat of furniture wax now and then helps protect it. Wipe metal parts over with a lightly oiled cloth to keep rust at bay.
Who is it for?
The Cyma CM048 suits players who want a classic, real wood AK74-style rifle with dependable internals at a sensible price, especially for milsim and Eastern Bloc themed loadouts.
Please note: Battery, charger and BBs are not listed as included. Always wear suitable eye protection, and full-face protection where your site requires it, when using or testing any airsoft replica.
