1. Why the AKX
The Tokyo Marui AKX is the latest evolution of TM's gas blowback AK platform. It represents a modern, tactical AK design with all the refinements TM is known for:
- Modern AK design — Full-length M-lok handguard, side-folding stock, modernised ergonomics. The AKX looks and feels like a current-generation AK
- GBB realism — Full blowback operation with a reciprocating bolt carrier. Every shot delivers a satisfying kick and realistic cycling
- TM quality — Legendary Tokyo Marui build quality and out-of-the-box accuracy. Tight tolerances, excellent hop-up, reliable feeding
- 19mm cylinder — The AKX uses a large 19mm diameter bolt carrier cylinder, delivering strong recoil that rivals the best GBB rifles on the market
- Gas efficient — TM's engineering ensures you get more shots per gas fill than most competing GBB platforms
- Full ambidextrous controls — Selector, mag release and bolt catch are accessible from both sides
2. AKX vs AKM
Tokyo Marui offers two GBB AK models: the AKX (modern) and the AKM (classic). While they share the same internal GBB system, there are important differences:
| Feature | AKX | AKM |
|---|---|---|
| Style | Modern tactical | Classic wood/steel |
| Handguard | M-lok aluminium | Traditional wood |
| Stock | Side-folding polymer | Fixed wood |
| Rail system | M-lok + top rail | Side rail mount only |
| Ergonomics | Modern pistol grip, improved controls | Classic AK grip |
| GBB system | Same 19mm cylinder | Same 19mm cylinder |
| Magazine | Shared (AKM/AKX compatible) | Shared (AKM/AKX compatible) |
| Upgrades | AKX-specific piston | AKM-specific piston |
Key takeaway: Same GBB performance, different aesthetics. Choose the AKX for a modern tactical AK, or the AKM for the classic Kalashnikov look. Magazines and most internal parts are interchangeable.
3. Replicas
The AKX is available in two configurations:
AKX GBB Standard — 449.95€
The standard AKX out of the box. Full GBB operation, M-lok handguard, side-folding stock. Ready to play with excellent TM accuracy and reliability:
AKX GBB with NPas — 479.95€
The AKX with a pre-installed NPas (Negative Pressure Air System) valve. The NPas allows you to adjust the power output of the rifle with a simple Allen key adjustment — no disassembly needed. Dial it down for CQB or up for outdoor play:
NPas explained: The NPas valve redirects a portion of gas away from the BB, reducing velocity. By turning the adjustment screw, you control how much gas reaches the BB. Full open = maximum power. Partially closed = reduced power. This gives you field-adjustable FPS without changing any parts.
4. Power Adjustment
Adjusting the power output of your AKX/AKM is essential for field compliance and optimising performance:
Ibex NPas AKM/AKX Complete Kit — 49.95€
The complete NPas kit for both AKM and AKX platforms. If your AKX did not come with an NPas pre-installed, this kit adds the adjustable power valve. Includes all necessary parts and tools:
AngryGun Hard Kick Pistons
The AngryGun hard kick pistons are stainless steel replacements for the stock piston. They are heavier than stock, which increases bolt carrier momentum for a harder kick. Important: The AKX and AKM use different pistons despite sharing the same GBB system:
- AKX Hard Kick Piston — Specific to the AKX bolt carrier geometry
- AKM Hard Kick Piston — Specific to the AKM bolt carrier geometry
Warning: Do not mix AKX and AKM pistons. They are NOT interchangeable even though the rifles share the same GBB system. Using the wrong piston can damage the bolt carrier.
5. Recoil Enhancement
The AKX already has strong recoil thanks to its 19mm cylinder, but you can enhance it further:
AngryGun 130% Recoil Spring — 14.95€
A stiffer recoil spring that increases the bolt carrier return speed. This results in a snappier, more aggressive cycling action. Combined with a hard kick piston, it transforms the shooting experience:
- Stronger kick — The heavier spring + hard kick piston creates a more pronounced recoil impulse
- Faster cycling — The bolt carrier returns to battery faster, improving follow-up shot speed
- Better lockup — Increased spring tension ensures positive bolt lockup
The Complete Recoil Upgrade
For maximum recoil effect, combine:
- Hard Kick Piston (AKX or AKM specific) — Heavier bolt carrier mass
- 130% Recoil Spring — Stronger return force
This combination delivers the most realistic and satisfying shooting experience possible from the TM AK platform.
6. Conversion Kits
AngryGun RD704 GT SBR Conversion Kit — 299.95€
Transform your Tokyo Marui AKM or AKX into a modernised RD704 GT SBR (Short Barrel Rifle). This comprehensive conversion kit includes:
- 11.5" outer barrel — Compact SBR length for improved handling
- M-lok handguard — Modern rail system for accessories
- Gas block — Redesigned for the shorter barrel
- Flash hider — 14mm CCW thread for suppressor compatibility
The RD704 GT conversion gives your AK a completely new identity — a modern, compact CQB platform while retaining all the GBB internals:
7. Magazines
The AKX and AKM share the same magazine system. All magazines are cross-compatible between both models:
AKX Standard Magazine 35rd — 49.95€
The standard polymer magazine. 35-round capacity with reliable feeding:
Bakelite AKM/AKX Magazine 35rd — 54.95€
The premium magazine option. Hyper-realistic Bakelite-style finish with a die-cast aluminium body weighing 640 grams — it feels like the real thing. Same 35-round capacity with identical feeding reliability:
- 640g aluminium body — Realistic weight and feel
- Bakelite finish — Authentic Soviet-era aesthetic
- Compatible with both AKM and AKX — One magazine for both platforms
8. Accessories
Factory Tico Adapter AKM/AKX — 9.95€
The Tico adapter ensures perfect compatibility between AKM and AKX parts. A small but essential accessory for cross-platform compatibility:

9. Maintenance
GBB rifles require more maintenance than AEGs, but the TM AKX is designed for reliability. Follow these guidelines:
Gas Efficiency Tips
- Use quality gas — Abbey Predator, Nuprol, or similar high-quality green gas. Avoid cheap propane adapters without lubrication
- Warm magazines before use — In cold weather, keep magazines in your pocket or use a magazine warmer. GBB performance drops significantly below 10°C
- Fill correctly — Hold the can inverted, fill for 3-5 seconds. Do not overfill — leave space for gas expansion
- Don't dry fire — Running the magazine empty wastes gas and can damage the valve
Bolt Carrier & Internals
- Lubricate the bolt carrier rails every 500-1000 shots with silicone oil
- Clean the nozzle — Remove debris and old lubricant. Apply a thin coat of silicone grease
- Check the recoil spring — If cycling becomes sluggish, the spring may need replacing
- Inspect O-rings — Replace any that show wear, cracking or flattening
Magazine Care
- Lubricate O-rings on fill and release valves — A drop of silicone oil every few fills
- Store with a small amount of gas — This keeps the seals compressed and prevents leaks
- Never leave magazines in direct sunlight — Heat + pressurised gas = dangerous
- Clean the feed lips — Remove BB dust and debris periodically
Hop-Up & Barrel
- Clean the inner barrel every 5-10 game days with a microfibre patch and a drop of silicone spray
- Check hop-up adjustment after disassembly — it may shift during cleaning
- Replace the hop-up bucking if you notice inconsistent accuracy (typically every 12-18 months of regular use)
