ELM (Gen. 2) airsoft rifle (Vintage Custom)
GF Custom Division is an idea born in the minds of the Gunfire airsoft team. We want to offer you the highest quality replicas, modified and configured by us, using only the best proven parts and accessories. No part of the replica was included by accident - these are exactly the configurations we would like to use in the field ourselves. We are assisted in our work on customisation by many years of airsoft experience, so it is safe to conclude that the GF Custom Division is a project created 100% by players for players.
This time for customisation we have chosen a great ELM replica from E&L!
The replica has undergone a professional, visual modification consisting in giving it a unique character. As the replica is made almost entirely of steel, we decided to take advantage of this fact and apply an "ageing" treatment. The original oxide of the replica was professionally rubhandguard off, revealing the beautiful, raw steel from which the replica was made. The treatment also applied tothe steel magazine - the whole thing looks exceptional.
Particularly noteworthy here are the wooden, plywood elements. The original paint was removed and the whole thing was dipped in oil revealing the natural texture of the beautiful, strong, plywood. The whole thing looks exceptional, GFCustom Division wanted to achieve the effect of strong aging of the rifle which certainly succeeded!
The replica is decorated on the butt with the logo of the IWA 2020 exhibition. Other decorations are also placed on the foregrip. This is a treat and a souvenir for every fan of the IWA Nuremberg fair.
The replica will look great both on the wall and in the field. Of course, we have taken care to properly coat the surface of the replica to minimise the risk of rust on the steel parts.
E&L Airsoft is a new quality on the airsoft gun market. This manufacturer has set itself the task of creating replicas which are as close as possible to their firearm counterparts in terms of the quality of materials and fit, and has gone as far as possible in this direction - starting production in the same factory where firearms are manufactured! Exactly the same materials as in the originals have been used to make the replicas: steel, hand-finished wooden parts or high-quality composite. Also, some of the external parts are identical to the fireable original and come off the same production line.
With this move, E&L has definitely moved to the forefront of replica manufacturers from across the eastern border. It can compete (and win!) with the best brands on the market - also in terms of price. Its quality and parameters allow it to be both a beautiful wall decoration and a very effective replica in the field.
Externally, the maximum number of parts that are possible in the replica have been made on a scale of 1:1 with the original, according to military specifications. This means that it is possible to interchange elements between the replica and the firearm counterpart! This applies to the front handguard, the gas tube cap and the gas tube itself, the sighting devices or the cutter, among others. Few other manufacturers offer such options.
The wooden components are hand-processed, which ensures their high quality on the one hand and their uniqueness on the other. In this model, the buttstock, handguard and gas tube cap are made of wood. Uniqueness is also achieved by the individual serial number on the barrel.
Also in terms of weight, everything has been done for realism. The replica is heavy and, in addition, the proper balance is ensured by the all-steel outer barrel. A noteworthy element is certainly the possibility of partial disassembly of the replica, like a fireable counterpart - without the use of tools. Everything is based on pins and levers. The manufacturer has taken care of the smallest details to make its products as close to the original as possible.
The battery of the replica is placed under the cover of the breech chamber. The cover is mounted on a single snap, which allows its rapid removal and replacement of the power source at any time.
Internally, the product also presents itself perfectly. E&L motor ers have gathered the best solutions from the market and added their own. The pneumatic system consists of a set of silent piston head and cylinder, which increases the life of the system through better cushioning. The spring guide has bearings and on the piston pinion you will find a larger mag release. It gives the BB more time to enter the chamber, which is especially important for configurations that provide high rapid firing. High accuracy and shot focus will be ensured by the mounted precision 6.04 mm inner barrel.
What are the characteristics of the Generation 2?
The Generation 2 replicas have been equipped with a completely new standard gearbox! First of all, it has been equipped with quick spring release system. This system allows the user to quickly adjust the power of the replica to the user's needs by replacing the mainspring, without having to open the gearbox and thus having access to a workshop or specialised tools. After removing the gearbox from the body of the replica, the spring replacement process itself takes literally a few seconds thanks to the special design of the frame and guide.
Generation 2 features an improved, even more robust gearbox: compared to previous models, the shell, gears, cylinder, nozzle, spring guide and cabling, among others, have been replaced with new ones. The new solutions guarantee a higher operating culture, higher ROF and lower power consumption.
What exactly are the components to be found inside the E&L Gen.2?
