Here's my mini review...
Yeah another china m14. It's the second one. The cyma and de version are still
on their way.....LOL!
Metal wise........it's a slight winner over Kart, just very slightly. 110 % percent metal including the scope mount hehe. The front band is totally detachable just like marui m14.
Clone wise....the front swivel with plate and the buttstock swivel are marui like unlike kart. no allen screw on the top front side though to hold the flash suppresor nut from spinning when firing. Yet the selector switch is reversed just like kart where you press the switch clockwise.
The Looks.....it looks much finer especially the wood grain. paint job on the metal parts as I expected is quite thick reason it gives a plastic look on certain pics posted some days ago.
Stock Performance.....stock motor sounded way better than kart, much quieter. no misfeeds on .2 bb's. Range and accuracy? sorry no can do coz it was already dark.
The Mag.....it's metal and thin coated so it's easy to peal off the paint on rugged use. Just like JG's mag there's small hole on the side where you can use the winding key hehe. The internal winder is a little bit much expose hence you can wind the
mag much better and faster unlike marui or kart much more hidden up. But the spring coil felt a little weak.
The hop......again can't say much coz you need to shoot outside to test it. But atleast same as kart fully clone tm hop.
Barrel.........brass barrel may be 6.08 id.
Disassembly agm m14 blues.......stage 1 was way easier to do compared to kart. just unscrew the allen screw on top of the gas cylinder lock then slide it out a little, pull out the trigger guard, pull the gun assembly forward up and you're done.
stage 2-4 same same same.
The internals........
- yes you've heard it. standard gears, a version 3 spring guide, re-positioned anti reversal lock which is much better for decompressing purposes and reinforced gb where it will act much stiffer when tougher spring and stu gears are installed just on the gear area that is. i was amazed agm didn't just borrowed
gb molds to kart.
- Cylinder compression ain't bad. Ported piston btw.
- Plastic bushing and needs re-shimming.
- The switch assembly has 2 very small mounts that clips on the gb aside on the metal guide which is added convinience when re-assembling that whole area.
- it's semi-auto cut off lever is of the same shape as of marui the one hitting the sector gear. Kart has a thicker col.
.....Aside those everything else are all version 7 parts.
Missing parts......(ayayayayayay!!! naku naman china nangbitin ka nanaman LOL!)
1.) no motor height adjustment assembly all 3 parts are missing. the allen screw, the box shaped bolt, the height adjuster mech.
2.) no locking mechanism on the hop adjustment knob.
3.) no fuse box.
4.) motor frame no longer has those wire guide holder on the side.
.....Hopefully the other units have the missing parts atleast the first two mentioned.
Bottom line........it's a good rifle. All the metals are there plus more. Good stock performance well atleast on what we can test anyway at the given situation. Some added internal conveniences and upgrade options.
