ask Lineman, he knows a lot about chinese clones, though im sure he will say get the JG brand (if they make an AK)

I don't really know much about the ChiMan guns... I just own 2 JG guns and read a bit every now and then about the development of the ChiMan products. If you don't know it yet Echo1 is a rebrander like UTG, granted they rebrand better stuff than UTG, but the "Echo1" tac AK is actually a CYMA product
My best advice for new airsoft players:

Its ok but you need to replace the hop up and barrel because its inaccurate.

Check out the new JG AK at gunnerairsoft.com. The cyma AKs ala echo1 AKs are cyma rebrands, so as said above, the barrel and hop is not TM compatible. The JG AKs are 100% TM compatible. Airsoft1.com has some of the JG AKs, make sure you get a MGB, not the plastic gearbox version, and you should be good.
