Arcturus AK12K PE™ Carbine RIS - Black

AK12K PE™ Carbine by Arcturus

The AK12 PE™ from Arcturus is a top-tier airsoft rifle from the AK12 2022 series, combining modern technology with an upgraded AK design. With precise craftsmanship and a robust construction, it delivers exceptional performance straight out of the box. The body is made of stamped steel with a QPQ surface treatment, ensuring high durability and longevity. Unlike competitor models with alloy bodies, this is a solid piece of steel that stands out. Arcturus rifles are not only excellent externally but also feature high-end internals.
The rifle comes equipped with a PERUN PE (ETU) electronic unit, allowing customizable firing modes (Semi, 2rd Burst, Binary, Full Auto), pre-cocking (pre-cocking) for instant trigger response, and adjustable trigger travel and sensitivity. Additionally, the electronics feature over-voltage protection, low battery voltage warning (Li-Po Alarm), and self-diagnosis.

Internal Components

The rifle features an enhanced Version 3 gearbox with quick spring change (QSC), allowing easy power adjustment to suit different airsoft events. The gearbox is fitted with CNC-machined steel gears at a 13:1 ratio and a 24k high-torque neodymium motor (21TPA) for superior performance, offering a significantly higher rate of fire than standard 18:1 gears.
The hop-up system is based on an ARCTURUS RS™ rotary polymer chamber, ensuring precise hop-up adjustment. The 6.03 mm precision inner barrel measures 380 mm, making it an ideal choice for long-range precision shooting while maintaining compact dimensions for CQB maneuverability.

External Build

The rifle's body is made of stamped steel with a QPQ surface treatment, providing resistance against corrosion and wear. The classic nylon RIS handguard features side-mounted CNC RIS rails, while the receiver cover also includes a RIS rail for mounting optics.
The AK12-style folding stock is constructed from nylon polymer, reducing overall weight without compromising strength. The rifle also includes a flash hider, which can be easily replaced via the standard M14-mm CCW left-hand thread.
