Double Bell Chinese Type 56 AEG (Real Wood Furniture)

Double Bell Chinese Type 56 AEG (Real Wood Furniture) 

The Double Bell Type 56 AEG is a finely crafted, full-scale airsoft replica of the legendary Chinese assault rifle — built to exact 1:1 dimensions with impressive attention to detail. From the real solid-wood stock, handguard, and pistol grip to the robust metal components, this replica delivers a realistic weight, feel, and silhouette that appeals to realism buffs and mil-sim enthusiasts alike.

The real Type 56 assault rifle — introduced in 1956 — is the Chinese variant of the iconic Soviet AK-47 / AKM family, and has served as a standard-issue rifle for decades. The Type 56 is widely recognized for its durable construction, distinctive fully-enclosed hooded front sight, and, in many variants, a folding spike bayonet. The Double Bell AEG reflects this heritage, complete with a folding dummy bayonet — a nod to the rifle’s military roots. By faithfully recreating the original’s proportions, build style, and external finish, this airsoft replica pays homage to a design that has seen extensive use across decades and numerous conflicts worldwide.

Authentic materials & detailing — Real solid wood furniture (stock, handguard, grip) mirrors the original’s look and feel. Steel components including receiver, trigger guard, gas tube, fire selector, sling mounts and buttplate ensure durability and mass akin to a real rifle. Many living-history airsoft players appreciate this balance of realism and practicality. Functional V3 gearbox with upgrade-ready internals — The replica is fitted with a reinforced metal V3 gearbox, with 18:1 steel gear set, CNC-machined nozzle, full steel-toothed piston, and double-sealed piston head. Thanks to the quick spring-change system, it’s a solid base for future tuning or upgrades — ideal for players seeking reliability and longevity. Stable, adjustable hop-up — The modern rotary-style AK hop-up chamber lets you dial in accuracy with ease. Because the hop-up unit is anchored directly to the gearbox shell, there’s minimal play — boosting shot consistency and overall performance.
