Secutor ASTRA IV Shadow M-Lok AEG Airsoft Rifle - Black

The Secutor ASTRA IV Shadow M-Lok AEG in black is one of those rare airsoft rifles that manages to look aggressive and slick while being properly practical. With its fabric-wrapped suppressor-style front end, M-LOK compatibility, and full-metal build, it screams modern tactical without going over the top. But this isn’t just a showpiece — it’s got solid internals and a smart layout that makes it a versatile workhorse whether you’re clearing rooms or holding angles outdoors. A real tactical all-rounder that doesn’t need flashy gimmicks to prove its worth.

Let’s talk externals first. Right from the front, the integrated mock suppressor gives the ASTRA IV a stealth-ops silhouette, and it’s not just decorative — the inner barrel extends all the way to the tip. That means great out-of-the-box accuracy, but if you’re planning to run a shorter tracer unit, you’ll want a barrel extension. The outer barrel is 14mm CW threaded, so with a CW to CCW adapter, you’ve got full compatibility with most common muzzle devices.

Moving down the rifle, the 9-inch aluminium M-LOK handguard gives you modern modularity without bulk. With M-LOK slots at the 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions, there’s plenty of room for grips, torches, or PEQ boxes. A full-length 20mm Picatinny rail runs up top, flowing seamlessly into the upper receiver — perfect for optics whether you're slapping on a micro red dot or something with a bit more magnification. Flip-up iron sights come pre-installed, and they’re adjustable for windage and elevation, offering both fast-acquisition and precision apertures.

The receiver features a waffle-textured magwell, not just for looks but to give you extra grip when changing mags under pressure. The dust cover is high-density polymer, saving weight while echoing that minimalist real-steel vibe. Pull back the low-profile charging handle, and you’ll expose the rotary HOP-up — easy to adjust mid-game without needing a tool, and it holds its setting reliably even during heavy fire.

Ambidextrous controls round off the exterior nicely. You get mirrored fire selectors, mag releases, and bolt catches, so whether you’re a lefty or just prefer switching shoulders mid-game, you won’t miss a beat. The selector itself has a satisfying click between safe, semi, and full-auto, and thanks to the Ares EFCS system inside, you can reprogram it to run burst or semi-only if you’ve got the EFCS programmer (sold separately).

The pistol grip is well thought out too — ergonomic shape, solid texture, and a trigger guard roomy enough for winter gloves. The flat-faced trigger with a serrated front edge gives good feedback and helps with fast, clean trigger pulls. This all adds up to a rifle that feels responsive and balanced, even in hectic close-range fights.

At the rear, a 5-position adjustable stock on a solid alloy buffer tube gives you flexibility without fuss. The slight cheek rise and textured buttplate keep things comfortable and stable, whether you’re wearing a rig or going slick. You’ve got QD sling points built into both the stock and handguard, letting you sling it however you like. Battery access is simple — slide off the stock, twist off the end cap, and you’ll find a Deans (T-plug) connector inside. A 7.4v 1300mAh LiPo stick fits nicely without rattling around.

Under the hood, you’re looking at a serious bit of kit. The Ares EFCS V2 gearbox includes steel 18:1 gears, a high-torque motor, and a quick-change spring system that lets you tweak FPS without opening the whole gearbox. The built-in MOSFET handles fire control cleanly and protects your battery with low-voltage cut-off, extending lifespan and reliability. 8mm bushings and bearings round it out for smooth, long-lasting performance.

Straight out of the box, the ASTRA IV chrono’s around 330–350 FPS with 0.20g BBs — spot-on for UK skirmish limits. Compact enough for CQB but not undergunned outdoors, it’s a proper do-it-all platform. Pair it with a solid optic, sling, and your choice of attachments, and you’re ready to roll.
