ELM (Gen. 2) Chiseled Vintage
Custom Carbine Replica
GF
Custom Division is an
idea born in the heads of the Gunfire airsoft team. We want to offer you
highest-quality replicas modified and configured by our team using the best,
tested parts and accessories. No element of the replica is there for no reason
- these are exactly the kind of configurations that we would like to use in the
field. In the custom work on replicas helps our many-year airsoft experience
and it can be easily summed up that GF Custom Division is a project created
in 100% by players for players.
This time we have chosen an
excellent ELM replica by E&L for customization!
The replica has undergone a
professional, visual modification in order to provide it with a unique
character. As the replica was made practically entirely of steel, we have
decided to make use of that and utilize “aging” procedures. The original
oxidization has been professionally rubbed off revealing beautiful, raw
steel that the replica was made of. The process included also the steel
magazine - the entirety looks spectacular.
Plywood elements deserve special
attention. Our artist has let loose his fantasy and placed beautiful, floral
decorations on wooden elements. All of the above has been burned out in the
plywood - in this case on the stock, the pistol grip and the handguard.
The replica will look great on a
wall display as well as in the field. Of course, we have also taken care of the
adequate coverage of the replica’s surface in order to minimize the risk
of rusting of steel elements.
E&L Airsoft is a new quality
on the airsoft replica market. The manufacturer has decided to create replicas
that will resemble live firearm originals as well as possible in terms of
material quality and how well parts are aligned together and made strides in
that direction as far as possible - by launching production in the very same
factory that manufactures live firearms! Replicas were made using the
same materials as in originals: steel, hand-finished wood elements or
high-quality polymer. Also, some of external parts are identical to those of
the original and come off the very same production line.
This allowed E&L to
significantly move ahead of its competition among manufacturers from behind the
eastern border. It can compete (and win!) with the best brands on the market -
also when it comes to prices. Its quality and specification make it not only a
beautiful wall decoration but also a very effective field replica.
Outside, a maximum amount of elements that is possible in a replica was made in
a 1:1 scale in comparison to the original, according to the military
specification. This means that it is possible to change parts between
the replica and its live firearm counterpart! This
concerns, among others, the handguard, gas pipe cap, the gas pipe
itself, cleaning rod and iron sights. Little to none other manufacturers offer
such possibilities.
Wooden elements have undergone
hand processing, which on the one hand assures high quality and on the other
hand uniqueness. This model features a wooden stock, handguard and gas pipe
cap. One-of-a-kind character was achieved also due to an individual serial
number located on the receiver.
A great effort was also made to
make the replica’s weight as close to that of the original as possible. It is
heavy and additionally, a correct balance is guaranteed by a steel, external
barrel. Worth noting is without a doubt the option of partial disassembly of
the replica, like its live firearm counterpart - without the need for tools. Everything
is based on pins and levers. The manufacturer has taken care of the smallest
details in order to bring the product as close to the original as possible.
The
battery is located beneath the dust cover. The cover is held by a single latch, which allows
for a rapid disassembly and a change of the power source at any moment.
Also internally
the product appears superb. E&L engineers have collected from the market
the best solutions and also added some of their own. The pneumatic system
consists of a set of a silent piston and cylinder heads, which prolongs the
lifetime of the system and provides a better absorption. The replica has a
ball-bearing spring guide and the sector gear has an enlarged delayer clip. It
provides the BB with more time to be introduced into the chamber, which is
especially important when dealing with configurations with a high rate of
fire. A high accuracy and tight cone of fire provide the implemented
internal barrel with a diameter of 6.04 mm.
What is Generation 2
characteristic for?
Generation 2 replicas are
equipped with a new standard gearbox! Most importantly, it
received a rapid spring exchange system - Quick Spring Release. It
allows for a quick adaptation of the replica’s power to the needs of the User
via the main spring exchange without the need to unscrew the gearbox and, as a
result, the need to have the access to a workshop or special tools. Once the
gearbox has been taken out of the replica’s body, the process of spring change
lasts literally mere seconds thanks to a special construction of
the shell and the guide.
Generation 2 has a perfected,
even more durable gearbox, which in comparison with previous models
contains parts that have been replaced with new ones, among others: the shell,
gears, cylinder, nozzle, spring guide and wiring. The new solutions guarantee a
better reliability, higher ROF and a smaller energy drain.
What components exactly will we
find inside E&L Gen 2?
- the new type, reinforced
gearbox shell is mounted on 9 mm ball bearings and adapted to the Quick
Spring Release system
- ball bearing spring guide QSR (Quick Spring Release)
- a set of steel gears made with the use of precise CNC machines.
- one-piece, steel cylinder made with the use of precise CNC machines
- a sealed nozzle with additional O-ring
- a set of 9 mm ball bearings
- a reinforced, POM piston with three steel teeth
- a muffled piston head
- an efficient High Torque M170 motor on neodymium magnets
- a low-resistance, silver-plated wiring
Generation 2 also features an
interesting addition - a magwell spacer for
the magazine well, whose implementation realistically simplifies and speeds
up the magazine change process!
Replicas come in a brand new,
practical and elegant boxes. The boxes are fully filled with a hard foam which
safely and firmly holds the replica and all of its accessories in
place. Each replica comes with an oilcan, while models featuring a fixed
stock additionally come with a cleaning kit, the very same as the one intended
for a live firearm.
The replica comes with a Hi-Cap,
steel magazine with a capacity of up to 150 BBs.
The set includes:
- replica
- magazine
- oilcan
- magwell spacer
- original cleaning kit

| Hop-Up Hop-Up system is used for overclocking bb during the shot (putting it in rotation), through which, it extends its flight path. Acting laws of physics make that bb lift up, while the gravitational force take it down. Appropriate adjustment of Hop-Up, will compensate for these two factors, which result in long and straight flight for longer distance and be greater focus shot (to improve accuracy). | Yes |
