Type:Airsoft Rifle. Manufacturer: Acturus. Model: AR06 & NY03CB. Materials: Mostly all Metal. Weight: 5.6/4.9 pounds (2.5/2.2 kilograms). Length: 27.4-30.7/31.7-35 inches (695-780/805-890mm) Barrel Length: 11/14.6 inch (280/370mm) inner 6.02mm tight bore non rifled. Propulsion: AEG (with Deans Connectors). Action: Semi & Full Auto SAO. Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: Hi Cap/Mid Cap - 550/135 FPS: 380-400fps.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Arcturus AR06 - NY03CB AEG Airsoft Rifles like other AEG Rifles is not mechanical as they are essentially electrical driven so basically the trigger is an on/off switch that is closest in feel to a single action only trigger since it is light and short. You will notice a slight delay between pressing the trigger and the actual round being fired since the trigger activates a motor which first pulls the air spring back. Once the spring is fully drawn back it releases and compresses the air which then propelled the 6mm Airsoft BB. The higher voltage battery you use like an 11.1 volt will shorten the delay as the motor will spin faster and pull back the spring quicker allowing for less noticeable delay and also a higher rate of full auto fire which in this rifle is very noticeable.
Accuracy: I have not Field Test Reviewed either the Arcturus AR06 - NY03CB AEG Airsoft Rifles or even tried them out yet. I hope to get to my Field Test Shooting Video for both of them later next week, until then we can assume they will shoot similar to most other AEG rifles with tighter bore barrels. I am expecting at least a 2 inch grouping at 30 feet down range in semi auto. In terms of velocity the test paper which they come with claims around 390+fps.
Build Quality: The Arcturus AR06 is a mostly metal with a full metal receiver while the NY03CB has a polymer or plastic receiver which from what I can tell only other components being plastic would be the pistol grips and rear stock. other metal parts on both AR type Airsoft Rifles would be the rail setup, the barrel, the charging handle, the buffer tube, the dust cover, the trigger, the selector switch, the magazine release and bolt release. Fit and finish for both guns is very good.
Realism: The Arcturus AR06 - NY03CB AEG Airsoft Rifles are based on the AR platform with both versions looking the part of a real steel AR. They do come with the removable orange tips installed but they also come with black flash hiders so you can easily switch them out adding to the realism. The metal receiver on the AR06 does give it a bit more weight but even the NY03CB has a decent weight and solid feel to it. Most of the controls work just like a real steel AR including the charging handle, bolt release, selector switch and magazine release.
Pros:
Two versions to meat your budget, both great options.
Quality components throughout both versions. Only real difference is nylon fiber receiver vs metal receiver and slight upgrade motor on AR06 version from Long Type to Long Type 19k torque motor on AR06.
Have been quality control inspected including 5 round recorded fps test with .20 gram Airsoft BB’s.
Both have a functioning bolt catch.
Both come with Quick release two position fully adjustable pop-up sights.
Both come with additional black flash hiders.
Lots of rial mounting options in Picatinny and M-LOK.
6 position adjustable rear stocks.
Easy access to motor for any possible trouble shooting you may need to do.
Additional grip plate option.
Ambidextrous controls and ambidextrous sling mounting points (QD on AR06).
Two magazines come with AR06 (Mid Cap and High Cap).
Cons:
Limited battery options as area is small.
Kind of need a tool to remove rear stock for battery access. (Could change the rear stock)
Mystery accessory baffles me and not mentioned in the manual.
Comments:
Like the AK series of Acturus AEG Airpot Rifles, the Arcturus AR06 - NY03CB AEG are good value for the money with the AR06 offering a slightly higher premium over the lower cost NY03CB. But don’t let the lower price fool you into thinking you are getting a sub-standard product as both versions are built with many of the same components. I personally like the more compact look of the Arcturus AR06 AEG Airsoft Rifle but then again the price of the NY03CB AEG Airsoft Rifle is hard to ignore. Either way you can’t go too wrong so make your pick and enjoy owning one of them.
My Table Top Video of the Acturus AR06 - NY03CB AR AEG Airsoft Rifles:
Type:Airsoft Rifle. Manufacturer: Acturus. Model: AK05. Materials: Mostly all Metal. Weight: 8.2 pounds (3.7 kilograms). Length: 31.1 inches (790mm) Barrel Length: 11 inch (280mm) inner 6.02mm tight bore non rifled. Propulsion: AEG (with Deans Connectors). Action: Semi & Full Auto SAO. Ammunition Type: 6mm Airsoft BB's. Ammunition Capacity: Hi Cap/Mid Cap - 550/135 FPS: 380-400fps.

I am expecting at least a 2 inch grouping at 30 feet down range in semi auto. In terms of velocity the test paper work it comes with claims around 390+fps.
Build Quality: The Acturus AK05 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is almost all metal in design with from what I can tell only the pistol grip being plastic. The receiver and top dust cover are both hardened steel with the receiver made out of stamped steel just like areal AK. The AK05 is nice and heavy for its size and the fit and finishes is very good all around. Internal parts are all of high quality too.
Realism: The Acturus AK05 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is based on the AK platform with this version being a more compact and tactical model. Externally it looks the part for sure, holding it in your hands it feels the part too. As expected the insides are all Airsoft but you would need ot take the dust cover off or pull back the charging handle to figure this out. Again the Acturus AK05 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is an almost all metal Airsoft Gun with an actual stamped steel receiver and steel dust cover, it’s hard to get much more realistic looking and feeling than that.
Pros:
Lots of mounting options: Picatinny rails, M-LOK, AK Side Rail.
Semi and full auto adjustable.
5 position adjustable rear stock.
Mostly metal construction and lots of actual steel including the receiver and dust cover.
Lots of weight to it at 8.2 pounds, feels awesome to hold.
Comes with two magazines, one Hi Cap and one Mid Cap.
Comes with a secondary all black squared off flash hider.
On the fly adjustable rear sight for elevation.
Quick change spring system.
Easy to get to and adjust rotary hop-up adjustment.
Should be good for longer range shooting with nice high claimed fps.
Cons:
Will need a very specific battery type, thin and long.
Rear sight only adjustable for windage and not elevation.
May even be a bit heavy for all day use.
Comments:
The Acturus AK05 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle along with the other Acturus AK Airsoft Rifles is in my opinion one of the nicest AEG AK based Airsoft rifles you can get, at least in the mid price ranges. Being all metal with actual stamped steel parts really makes the AK05 feel realistic and of high quality. If you’re looking for something with a bit more heft than the Acturus AK06 that has a more useful rear stock at least in terms of adjustability and don’t mind giving up some of the compact features of the AK06 then perhaps the AK05 is more for you. IN my opinion the Acturus AK05 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle is a great combination of quality, size and features, hopefully my upcoming Field Test Shooting Review backs up the performance aspect and we can add that to the list.

The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle along with the other Acturus AK Airsoft Rifles is in my opinion one of the nicest AEG AK based Airsoft rifles you can get, at least in the mid price ranges. Being all metal with actual stamped steel parts really makes the AK06 feel realistic and of high quality. I also like the compact tactical features of the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle making it easy to put in a backpack but not too heavy to lug around all day long. The Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle also has a decent velocity and fairly fast rate of fire especially when using a higher voltage battery so you can expect excellent performance even from such a small compact AEG Airsoft Rifle.
My Table Top Video of the Acturus AK06 AK AEG Airsoft Rifle:
In this Preview Unboxing Video I Take a look at 4 new Airsoft products from Arcturus all of them being AEG Airsoft Rifles with two based on the AK platform and the other two based on the AR platform. Three of the AEG Airsoft Rifles are mostly metal while I also feature a lower cost version with a Nylon Fiber Polymer receiver. All of these Replica AEG Airsoft Rifles are very good quality but you will get all metal (mostly steel and aluminum) build and a Hi-Cap and Mid-Cap magazine with the higher cost versions.
Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the Kimar Model K 760 is a bit stiff but on a beginner gun I would recommend the trigger to be on the heavy side for safety reasons and also to teach correct trigger control. It did not seem to effect my shooting at all which was nice.
Accuracy: Very good, I was surprised at the tight group I got from a semi rested position and with open sights, I nearly got a 3/4 inch group from 30 feet out which is about the best I can expect from just about any gun I have shot in the same manner. The Kimar Model K 760 spring piston break barrel rifle also shot true to it's claimed feet per second rating and got right around the 450 fps velocity mark.
Build Quality: The Kimar K 760 .177 air rifle is not going to win any prizes for style or craftsmanship but it gets the job done and in about as simple a manner as is required. With that said, what can really go wrong with it?Crank the barrel and pull the trigger. The lack of a safety does not really bother me as I never ever trust a safety and it's always good to learn how to keep a gun safe at all times even when you "believe" it is not loaded or ready to shoot. There is some plastic found on the Kimar K 760 like in the sights and the stock but the mechanical parts are all metal including the trigger.
Coming in at around $50, you can not ask the world from the Kimar Mod. K 760 .177 Caliber Spring Piston Rifle! What you can ask for is for decent accuracy and usable fps, and that's exactly what you are going to get from the Kimar K 760. This break barrel air rifle is really perfect for a beginner shooter on a budget or even for someone who may want to pack it around in some ugly situations where you wouldn't want to subject your high priced top quality air rifle. For the money you really can't lose with this one!
Looking for an ultra compact, super inexpensive, Italian made air rilfe for target or small pest control? Look no further!
This brand new air Italian made rifle from Kimar in .177 caliber is an ideal first air rifle for plinking targets in the back yard and because of it's very compact size it is excellent for small or first time shooters. Don't assume it doesn't have any power? You get up to 450fps velocities which makes the Kimar K 760 useful for shooting small rodents.
The Kimar 760 is very inexpensive yet has a high quality finish on the synthetic stock and metal work and fires accurate groups from 15 meters out with its open sights which are adjustable for windage and elevation.
