[Set] CM.045 HIGH-SPEED [CYMA] + AKS-74U Receiver Cover Rail [CYMA] + Airsoft VZ-1 Style Russian Red Dot Sight [JJ Airsoft]

I'll keep it simple and sweet, the rifle is a catch, if you want something rugged, reliable and affordable this is the rifle for you, the construction is solid and it has no wobble apart from the stock but that's true on all aks and you can fix it with some tape, the magazine has little to no wobble and feeds 100% of the time.

The rate of fire is amazing and you'll hit center mass at 30-40 meters 90% of the time, max range is at around 50-60 meters if the hop up is adjusted correctly (as per usual cyma hop ups are usually better than cheap "upgrades")

As a mod junkie I couldn't help myself and put in a maple leaf barrel and a 60⁰ mr.hop increasing it's accuracy to a stupid level,

All in all.. it's a cyma AK, it's good, it's solid and it's cheap, if you want an AKSU don't think about it, get it

The best cqb and beyond AK replica from CYMA. High speed gearbox is very powerful and will handle very strong springs easily. The barrel is short, so you have to go for a higher spring strength.

I recommend it to everyone starting out, there is even a bundle with a battery to buy

The internals are excellent, all metal. High RoF. Very accessible. CYMA outdid themselves with this one. Very affordable, high value to euro ratio. I recommend this to anyone wanting a very fun and good all around replica for CQB or forests

Più che soddisfatto, il pezzo si cambia in 4-5 minuti e si adatta perfettamente ad un cyma platinum CM.055 permettendo di montare un dot avendo accesso diretto al vano batteria

A great solid red dot for your russian style airsoft replica.
Also props to the service team of taiwangun for the great support.
I received a defect on arrival red dot and they coverd all the shipping costs and deliverd me a replacement one.

Incredible performance for the price, which is something CYMA is famous for.
It feels amazing, as it is mostly made out of steel and wobble is minimal. I ran it with a 7.4V Li-Po and it shoots very smoothly. The compatibility with other AK parts and magazines also allows a lot of variety in customization, which is very much appreciated.

Cyma replicas make justifying the price jump in LCT and E&L replicas kinda hard to be honest and this one is no exception. Price to performance 5/5.

Running it with a 7.4V lipo and it chews through magazines smoothly and efficiently.

This replica met my expectations to an insane degree, it’s exactly what I was hoping for and more, it’s very customisable with all my other AK replica parts and furniture, works well with most batteries and I’ve had no problems with the motor and hop-up. Overall amazing weapon, 10/10 would recommend

Ive had this replica for about a year now. Originally purchased in november of 2024.
The replica has kept working through abuse even with an 11.1v lipo all this time. Ive played about 8 games with it (outdoor) during which the replica got wet, jammed with sand etc. It still works, still looks amazing.

Some things of note though:
Folding stock button broke off after second game. No clue why. I folded the stock twice before this happened. Replacement has been hard to find.

The quick spring change system forgets to mention you still need to remove the gearbox from the body due to a steel bar blocking the spring guide.

The stock and upper handguard on at least my replica and one of a friend have needed multiple shims to not feel loose.

Good replica especially for the price. Its also very fun to build off of with external parts.

Works amazing and handled abuse quite well.
Bought it with the kestrel and shgimming service. Gun runs awesome on a 7.4V titan battery.

Top cover was crooked, but it doesn't matter to me as I'll replace that part.

10/10

Works fine on CYMA AKs74u (CM035).
I've replaced the OEM pin with an M3 screw.
No wobbling even with a heavier optics.
Pro for me is the iron sight replacement, not so accurate, you get too much free space between the front and the rear sight, but on CQB it's fair.

Fits WE AKS-74U , but is a bit too wide. Get a vice and press it together.

Does come with a pin out of rolled metal, for fitting into trunion. Screws on the inner side of the dust cover might need tightening to eliminate RIS rail wobble.

A must upgrade for the aks 74, the original broke so the replacement was an upgrade, fitted a red dot on it and it works perfectly. comes with hardware and it is a quick easy replacement. very good quality!

Nice and hefty metal build, the replica is heavy so i recommend having a shoulderstrap.
The ROF is impressive on 7.4v lipo comming form the pre-upgreaded high-speed gearbox.
The replica surprised me and i as very happy with the performance out of the box, highly recommended.

Very useful product if You are an AK user, It's long enough to receive 3-9x scope. I'm perfectly satisfied with it. Perfect price-value ratio. The package contains the axle too, very easy to install it.

Excellent replica, it shoots great out of the box, it s very easy to handle despite the stock can only be adjusted in 2 positions (extended or closed on the side), when the stock is folded it s impossible to use a sight mount , however taiwangun also has in its catalog a dustcover equipped with a 22mm rail perfectly compatible with this replica.
I ordered this replica with a muzzle velocity of ~330fps/1<J (Italian joule limit) and it was delivered to me at about 0.9J at the negligible additional cost of € 1.05 saving me from having to buy a suitable spring and open the gearbox by myself, I absolutely recommend this service.
Returning to the replica itself, it has a few woggles,one is present in the stock but is easily solved by shimming it ,the second is in the magwell with the magazine inserted but is not that much noticeable. The replica comes with a midcap that seems to work well.
with an 11.1v 1100mah 20c lipo the replica reaches ~ 22bb/s with a good trigger response even in single, the lack of an ETU or mosfet is not felt much, in case you wanted to install them the taiwangun staff also performs this service.
This ak is equipped with both 24 and 14 threads so you can install tracer unit, silencers, flash hiders or whatever you like the most, in some cases it will be necessary to install an extension of the outer barrel of a few cm as the inner barrel reaches almost the end of the original flash hider.
Although it is recommended to use a battery designed specifically for AKs, it is possible to insert an 11.1 with 3 single cells by inserting one into the hole that leads to the handguard and the other two placed on top of the gearbox.

Summing it all up


Pros:
Small Size
Great range (>45m w 0.9Joule)
Nice trigger response and rof
Lots of external parts for customizing your replica
14 and 24mm muzzle threads

Cons:
Some wobbles (easily fixable)


Final considerations:
I truly recommend this replica to anyone who wants to get a small and effective AEG, you won't be anything but happy while using this ak74u.

A must have for any AKS-74U setup, as it is far more practical in my experience compared to a side rail, as you can access the battery space without needing to remove any parts. I highly suggest getting the shop to install the rail, as without the proper tooling i ended up scratching up my pin location. The installation is worth the money, compared to the headache and time wasted doing it yourself (which i did with a hammer and screwdrivers). Looks great, feels secure. A must-buy.

Great gun, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good.
If feels really heavy and sturdy. It already has an deans connection.

Build quality is really good for this price range.
Internals seem good enough for out of the box.
It has a nice fire rate and the range is more than enough.

Would recommend this gun to starters or if your like me and want to get an ak for the collection.

This is a solid red-dot made out of aluminium and clear glass. It's got enought brightness to be seen during the day. You can zero it in, and it'll hold zero just fine. Perfect for two eye shooting and staying true to your Russian bias larp. The sight comes mounted on a high mount so you can still use the AK iron-sights. But you can also remove the stilts inbetween for a low mount. It might be a little hard to aim the MOA2 size dot, but you'll learn to aim with it.


(If the red-dot blinks before turning off, your battery is dead.)

One of the best rails for the top of an ak, fit snug but is still able to fold up.

Different sized roll pins however so don't lose the one with the packaging.

If you're looking for a lot of rail space this isnt the best, you can only fit 1 red dot or sight on it, no magnifiers or holo combos unfortunately

Very happy with it, feels solid and shoots fast even with 7.4 lipo. Accuracy is good.

The handguard was not black as the picture but more of a darker brown, same as a typical AK74 pistol grip, I dont mind though.

One big con :

There is a bar in the way for the quick change spring screw, so you will have to pull the gearbox out of the receiver to change the spring, or dremel it away and perhaps void the warranty.

Looks like an old design detail back from the 035 with ZiAu receiver, but thats me guessing.
I dont believe the steel receiver would warp cause of that bar being cut out.

Magazine is, like on most AK airsoft, a bit wobbly but it feeds so I dont really mind at all, just pointing it out if it matter to anyone else.

If not for the statements above, I'd give it 5 stars.
My Specna Arms Core J73 dont have that bar in the way like on this Cyma 045, its a completely unnecessary design choice for no good reason.

If that doesnt matter to you, I 100% recommend it, it is a very good airsoft replica.

I recently bought the CM.045 HIGH-SPEED [CYMA] from Taiwangun, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase! Along with the rifle, I opted for the eShooter Kestrel V2 ETU and Retro Arms flat trigger upgrades, which were installed by Taiwangun’s team—and they did an absolutely fantastic job.

Performance with Upgrades:
With the eShooter Kestrel V2 ETU, the rifle’s performance is on another level. The electronic trigger unit provides lightning-fast response and allows for easy customization of firing modes, giving me a significant edge in-game. The Retro Arms flat trigger feels precise and offers a great tactile response, making semi-auto shots faster and more controlled. Together, these upgrades turned an already great AEG into a high-speed, precision machine!

Taiwangun’s Service:
The installation of both upgrades was flawless. Taiwangun’s tech team did an excellent job ensuring everything was fitted perfectly and calibrated to work seamlessly. I also have to mention how fast the entire process was—from placing the order to receiving the rifle at my doorstep. Shipping was incredibly quick, and the gun arrived well-packaged and ready for action.

Performance:
What truly sets the CM.045 apart is its high-speed performance. With an upgraded gearbox and motor, it offers incredible rate of fire, making it perfect for fast-paced CQB scenarios or field skirmishes. The FPS is well-balanced, ensuring accuracy without compromising safety in indoor environments. I’ve tested it in both semi and full-auto modes, and the response is crisp and immediate. The trigger response is snappy, and I was particularly impressed by the range this compact rifle offers, easily rivaling some of the more expensive models.

Stock Performance & Build Quality:
Even without the upgrades, the CM.045 is a solid performer. Its compact design, robust metal body, and polymer components make it feel durable yet lightweight. The foldable stock is perfect for CQB scenarios, and the rate of fire out of the box is already impressive. However, with the upgrades, it truly shines.

Battery and Power:
No issues fitting my Li-Po battery, and the rifle runs consistently, even with the faster firing rate thanks to the upgraded ETU. The power is balanced, and the gun remains reliable in longer matches without losing performance.

Ergonomics and Customization:
The upgraded flat trigger adds a sleek, modern feel to the gun’s aesthetics, and the ergonomic design makes handling a breeze. It’s great to be able to customize the rifle to my preferences, and Taiwangun offers a wide range of options for that.

Ergonimics and Handling:
The CM.045 is comfortable to hold and maneuver, thanks to its compact size and ergonomic design. The stock is foldable, which is ideal for close-quarters combat, and the weight distribution feels very natural, allowing for quick transitions between targets. The sights are adjustable, and the rifle comes with a rail system for easy customization, allowing me to add accessories like a red dot sight and flashlight with ease.

Durability:
CYMA is known for making durable AEGs, and the CM.045 is no exception. After several intense games, it shows no signs of wear or tear. The internals are robust, and the externals are well-built to withstand rugged conditions.

Conclusion:
If you’re looking for a high-performance AEG, the CM.045 HIGH-SPEED [CYMA] is a fantastic choice, and the upgrades take it to another level. I can’t praise Taiwangun enough for their excellent installation service and the speed at which they processed and shipped the order. The value for money and the quality of both the rifle and service make this one of the best airsoft purchases I’ve ever made. Highly recommended!

I've received this Cyma AK74u (CM.045) high speed version with the Tune-Up Service and the Eshooter Kestrel V3 ETU Basic installed. WOW! What an amazing job they did with shimming. I wish this was available for all guns or other vendors. However, this makes Taiwangun stand out from the rest. You now have a loyal fan. The gun shoots and sounds great! Didn't realize that the inner barrel went to the end of the flash hider. Makes it hard to swap out to another flash hider if it isn't long enough. Besides that, great AK74u!

This optic is solid and very durable. It has several additional parts just like honey comb kill flash and protective caps with different styles.
The brightness of the red dot is visible even during daylight and it is easy to adjust it's brightness with the buttons.
It has a weight but you receive an aluminium mad red dot which in this case is a guarantee of quality. 10/10

Bought 2 of this in pair. One working just fine other one had some problems with plus and minus buttons. But support from taiwangun was good and they responded in time. Other one works fine and holds zero after 2 games of active playstyle. Worth it in my opinion quality is very good and using aaa batteries which are very common.

Tökéletesen illeszkedik a modellre (CM.045a)
mindenféle gond nélkül telepíthető ami kb 10 percet vessz igénybe. Személy szerint örültem volna ha ugyan olyan irányzékot kap mint az eredeti de ez is megfelel.

Nagyon stabil és gyors. Az elsütője is elég érzékeny és a csőnek hála nem maradok le sokkal a 370-390 fps-t tudó replikáktól sem (Én 336fps-el kaptam)
Viszont a tervezés miatt csak 4* mivel a gyórs rugó cserét a cyma elrontotta. Nem tudsz csak bontással hozzá férni a rugó cseréhez ami így értelmetlen pedig ezért vettem volna. Ezt jó lenne ha a képeken feltüntetnék és javaslom gondolja újra a cyma mert pl:aps,s&t meg tudta ezt oldani.

Ak74 acessório top cover em alumínio/metal que encaixa perfeitamente em ak74u da Jing Gong com ebb. Material leve e de boa qualidade de construção que permite colocação de acessórios e miras tornando a arma mais tática. Bom upgrade para quem gosta de personalizar as réplicas

Nicely made, sturdy replica, much better than the cheap Chinese T1 copies, it comes with a raiser, killflash, clear lens protector and standard lens protector. The only downside is the missing instructions, it is not obvious which button does what. It seems it can be switched off by pressing the + and - buttons together.

Sturdy build and overall good quality but I don't like how attaching the honeycomb is permanent. Wish there was a way to remove it without damaging the ring. I also don't like that it relies on the 60 minute turn off instead of also having a normal off button.

Great replica for the price. Just keep in mind that it will eat BBs like crazy. I'd suggest good quality midcaps for reliable feeding.

Also keep it mind that for no apparent reason manufacturer decided to make muzzle device stationary by introducing glue on the thread (so it requires heating to take it off without breaking threads). Why?! As a result installing tracer unit took like ~ 1 hour.

It's an incredibly good replica for the price. The build quality is also impressive and it looks beautiful. It performs a lot better than my other replicas at the same price point. There is nothing I could complain about without being incredibly picky.

It's totally fit on my Cyma 0.45, and it's working perfectly. It was not too hard to fit on my rifle, and it's look awsome now on my AK 74U. The material is strong, it's very good in quality! I will suggest this product everyone who want a nice sight/scope on his AK rifle. Easy to change it, good material, fit perfectly! Totally worth to buy it!

Wonderful compact red dot!
The dot is sharp, no problem with outdoor playing.
Almost too many settings.
The QD mount did not fit my lct rail. So had to modify the rail a bit.
Works great on my AKMSU now after the rail is modified.
Comes with many accessories.
Would buy again!

Bought this for my cm.045A, and it fits great! It was a bit difficult to get on at first if you’ve never done it before, but it holds great! The material is very nice. I recommend getting this instead of a side mount, due to the fact that
1. You have to take the side mount off every time to change the battery
And
2. The stock will not be able to fold with a side mount.
My optic fits great on it as well! (Victoptics rds)

Perfect on cm.045. Enough easy to mount. The bolt is longer that the one of replica but works perfect

Very fast the spedition. In less a week I had the package

It's quite too much 200 chars for a piece review. Maybe 100 were enough.

Fits my CYMA CM.045 very well. It has a slight gap at the front, but that might be an advantage if you plan to put wire through it for other gear and setup. Affordable price too. You need a hammer and a punch to punch out the pin. Fittin the pin back might needs some force due to the spring pressure of the upper handguard retainer.

Fits the cm.045a snuggly. A friend tried it on his and it fits too, we aren't sure of the moddel but it isn't a cyma, so it may be compatible with a lot of ak's.
It does make it slightly less convenient to change a battery while having a scope mounted, but it doesn't inconvenience you in the least while out in the field.
A side mount can be usually be installed on ak's and fitted perfectly by screwing it on, and this is meant to replace it. It doesn't really wobble, although my red dot is pretty small and light. Any wobble can be ultimately eliminated by putting in small cuts of paper.
Also, it's made of the same material as the original cover, it seems to be some sort of aluminium. Whatever it is, it's solid enough for airsoft.
Pretty great product.

Rail came in fast. When unpacking I was positively surprised of the finish and robust construction. Mounting took aproximately 5 minutes. After closing it tbere was absolutely no wobble of any kind!!
Real good buy, especially when playing CQB. This rail allows you to play stock folded.

Worked perfectly, everything fits good together and almost no wobble in the stock.

A full size stick battery(11,1V) does not fit because it have a fuse above the hop-up unit.

It came apart easy and the flashhider was not glued in place.

strong construction absolutely no wobble... i even had to use tool to get upper handguard of
cyma mags feed perfectly
charging handle gets stuck at times(on my cm048m i haven't had that problem, but it is fixed by carefully closing the dust cover)
it runs as butter on 7.4 lipo and has great rof and trigger response and i feel there is noo need for stronger batteries

Good quality dust cover, sturdy and solid.
Includes a rear sight block pin.
Does require slight modification, if you want to fit it to your E&L AKS74U:
You will have to slightly adjust the angle of the recess on your dust cover to be able to put your fire selector in safe position. Metal file or a dremel tool works fine for that.
Also the original e&l rear sight pin will not fit anymore as it is too short. Using the included pin works fine however.
The rear sight is shorter than the original, so you will be able to mount optics a few centimeters further up the dust cover for a longer eye relief.

Pienamente soddisfatto!!! Ottima qualità costruttiva ed effettivamente con un buon ROF. Cyma sembra essere notevolmente migliorato rispetto a qualche anno fa. Consigliatissimo per il rapporto qualità/prezzo.

The first time i held it, i was suprised how heavy it was, it's really high quality, and it fits perfectly on my cyma ak74u, and it also fits my e&l ak74u.
Excelent product, can't reccomend highly enough if you are building a tactical ak74u.

This is my first and only AEG (for now). Trigger response is snappy, fire rate is incredible, and it seems pretty accurate from what I can tell. There are a few inconsistent shots here and there, but I got a new hop up bucking and nub that I will install in the future. Everything in the gun is tight with no wobble, except the stock. To fix the stock wobble, I took a rubber band, folded it, and placed it between tube on the receiver and the tube on the stock (sorry if I'm using the wrong terminology) then used a pair of tongue-and-groove pliers to force the pin through. The pin acted like a hole punch, turning the rubber band into a kind of shim washer. Its got a deans connector, which is a bonus, and it comes with a midcap. Everything arrived 2 days earlier than expected, customer service was excellent and quick to respond and I will definitely be ordering from Taiwangun again!

the aks I have is a a cm045-UN; there's a small gap at the junction and the pin needs to be squeezed with pliers to fit the ring. other than that, stable and sturdy.
and looks really well on the replica

As usual cyma did not disappoint me, high speed ak is really high speed, its light, its durable, its fast. Even with 7,4V lipo instead of 11,1V. Magazines from other companies work as well (as usual with cyma). I only wish they would release those plum midcaps.

For the pricepoint you can't go wrong. It's been a while I had a Cyma and it suprised me very pleasantly that the quality of the replica is formidable. Everything is very tight out of the box. The highspeed version really gives a very fast trigger response with a 7.4 lipo and the motor is very quiet (hence hightorc and speed) and you can only hear the piston slam. Exteriorwise there are only a few parts I would like to see it being machined metal/aluminium like the gasblock and frontsight assembly but those are minor remarks.

Recommended!

Anyway, great service from Taiwangun, fast delivery. Thanks.

Really good quality and much better looking than most optic mounts for AKS74U replicas.
Big must have if you dont like the dovetail mounts.

+ Material feels nice and firm

+ still very light

+ more battery space

Really no Cons!

Nice part, perfect fit and great quality. Fits my cyma 74u with no issues.
No wobble, I have no worries about putting my vortex 3x spitfire optic on it or any other optic for that matter. Really solid build and great addition.

Does what it is supposed to do.
It fits my CYMA CM045A perfectly, doesn't wobble at all.
it is however a bit more heavy, especially with an optic, so that the dust cover doesn't spring op as easily.
that isn't really a problem though, just a tiny little bit anoying when changing batteries.

Replica fantastica, provata in game ed è ancora meglio .......
servizio perfetto di assemblaggio dei componenti richiesti (RIS e Castello).
PERFETTA....il miglio acquisto sin ora fatto (e gioco da più di 20 anni)

HANDS DOWN - BEST 200€ Replica in the AK family! The trigger response is insane, the short stroked gears do a great job in cqb, the gun is cyma level sturdy! I expect atleast a couple of years of great preformance before serious repairs or service. Shooting at 335+- FPS (0.20); with 0.28g - laser beam accuracy, great job TG/Cyma lets now hope we get some Cyma Platinum AKs) :))

Fantastic item, I customized my WE Ak74UN a lot and many parts had to be filed or modified etc. This was one of the few bits that worked great out of the box, a bit of hammering in the rod and that's it, mounted, I thouroughly recommend this cover. It also looks great with the matte black finish.

Works great. Bought it to swap the stock one on the 045C, so I could fold the stock and have an optic at the same time (side mount would get in the way). Installation was easy, hammer the old pin out (it comes with a new one), swap the dust cover making sure you reinstall the pin and spring which holds the top gas tube cover, finally hammer the new pin in.
