Saigo Defense Kenji AEG – Long – Tan

The Saigo Defense Kenji AEG in Tan is a long-barrelled, high-performance carbine designed to offer exceptional out-of-the-box range and reliability for both new players and seasoned skirmishers. Featuring a robust reinforced polymer construction and a modernised "Long" rail system, this rifle provides a stable, accurate platform for dominating varied airsoft environments from dense woodland to open-field engagements.

Built with a focus on internal longevity and external ergonomics, the Kenji Long series has quickly gained a reputation for being a dependable workhorse. The extended barrel length provides a superior sight radius and improved consistency, making it an ideal choice for players who value precision and a more traditional "Battle Rifle" aesthetic.

Core Specifications & Performance

• Reinforced Polymer Receiver: High-impact nylon-fibre construction in a tactical Tan finish ensures the rifle is light enough for all-day use while remaining resilient against the knocks and bumps of active gameplay.
• Extended Keymod Handguard: The longer rail system provides massive real estate for tactical accessories such as bipods, grips, and optics, while the Keymod interface maintains a slim and easy-to-manoeuvre profile.
• Rotary Hop-Up Unit: Equipped with a precision rotary-style adjuster, allowing for fine-tuned backspin control and consistent accuracy across various BB weights.
• V2 Reinforced Gearbox: Features an industry-standard Version 2 gearbox with high-quality internal components, providing a solid foundation for future performance upgrades.
• Quick-Change Spring System: Allows for rapid velocity adjustments, ensuring you can easily swap springs to meet different site power requirements.

The "Pro" Take

In our technical workshop, we often recommend the Saigo Kenji Long as a "best-in-class" entry-to-mid-tier AEG. What sets it apart is the internal consistency; the air seal and feeding are remarkably stable for a rifle at this price point. The extra length of the "Long" version is particularly beneficial for players who prefer a more deliberate, accurate playstyle. It is a fantastic "blank canvas" for those looking to build a custom loadout, as the standard V2 internals are compatible with almost all aftermarket performance parts.

UK Spec & Site Performance

On the UK circuit, the Saigo Kenji Long is a favourite for its adaptability. It is tuned to sit comfortably within the standard UK site limit of 350 FPS (approx. 1.14 Joules), making it legal for use at any UKARA-registered venue from day one. Whether you are holding a defensive line in a damp Scottish woodland or navigating a large-scale urban site in the Midlands, the Kenji's weather-resistant polymer body handles the British climate without issue. As a Realistic Imitation Firearm (RIF), a valid UKARA or VCRA defence is required for purchase.
