  1. I want a AK-47 pretty bad but just after spending close to 3 grand on a Inokatsu M60 its going to be a while untill I will have enough spare cash for one. I will only buy one with (or buy seperatly) real wood and metal body. Does anyone have the G&G RK47? 300 bucks aint bad for a real wood, all metal AK.

    Notice how the pegboard is in a closet. My (15 year old) sister and her friends wont stop playing with the guns (then say the guns scrare them) so I was forced to lock them up in a closet. The rest of my gear is in the boiler room or under the table in the picture.

  3. as you guys found out, i am using a STAR L85 AFV hi-cap in my CAR15 pics. originally i brought it to use in my G36K, and it looked the tits. but ive got rid of the magwell adaptor and gone back to g36 mags now, so i only have the CAR15 to use it in.

     

    for those who crave authenticity...........

    one with a metal body, one without.

     

    cheers

     

    You may want to buy some Vietnam era web gear instead of that (what looks like a) BAR belt. Also I would reccomend that you dont write so much on your gear. Since you arnt accually in Vietnam you cant really tell what those guys were thinking, sometimes I see someone and they have some riddiculous thing written on their helmet that no guy in Nam would probably write. Same thing with the stuff on the helmet band, lots of guys werent even issued one. I am a complete nut about authenticity, I even wear original (unissued ofcource) Vietnam era boxers. Im trying to help you out, not insult you or anything.

  4. M14, that's an amazing M16 VN you have there. Was the G&P body a drop-in fit? Is it loose or does it sit tight?

     

    The gun I put the G&P body on was a Classic Army M15A1 Vietnam, I was sick of the ugly CA "VN" body so I bought the G&P VN body for a TM. The gearbox trasfered perfectly to the G&P body and was pretty tight so it does jiggle or anything. The problems came when I transfered the outer barrel and delta ring. Only the G&P VN delta ring (that only comes with the G&P VN handguard & front set, which is $100) fits the G&P VN body. I didnt feel like spending $100 just for the delta ring (I already had the VN style handguard since I was installing the body on a CA M15A1) so I brounght the body to a machine shop to see if they could re-thread the body for the normal TM / CA delta ring. They said the threads were very very similar (one was wider or something) and they said I could just widen one with a small file. I went home and spent an hour widening the threads on the body and forceing the delta ring on. After I got the delta ring on, the outer barrel and everything went on nicely. If you buy the G&P VN handguard with the VN body they will go on no problem. Overall I am very very very happy with the body. The barrel was a *badgeress* to get on but it was better than spending $100 just for a delta ring.

     

    Heres another picture of the other side of the gun.

    Notice theres no forward assist. Early models didnt have one.

    Inokatsu M60A1 (Full Steel Version) comming before June :D .

  6. That gun looks very well done, I love classic 16's. But may I ask why you replaced the CA metal body?

     

    There is a few reasons, the ugly (unrealistic) trademarks, the crappy looking gray body, the forward assist (early models didnt have one), and some other things. CA pretty much took a A2 body, painted it some ugly gray color and put those ridiculous trademarks and put "M15A1" on it (instead of M15A2).

    My Classic Army M15A1 Vietnam w/ G&P M16A1 VN Metal Body (and some other upgrades). Only the G&P M16A1 VN handguard delta ring fits the G&P M16A1 VN metal body but since the classic Army delta ring was the same threads (just different starter threads or something ) I rethreaded the metal body and made it fit (it also saved my $100 even though it was a pain in the *albatross* to get on). It doesnt look that good compared to everyone elses M16s but I go for a authentic Vietnam look so I dont want all the fancy stuff on my gun.

  8. Uhm you do realize that the TM M14 can take real steel parts too right?  In fact, the AGM does too... so why again is that so good?  I like the G&G Veteran, my friend has one but I fail to see why that is a selling point.  Anyways Nice Veteran :)  My next gun is going to be a G&G M14 gone 500 fps Semi auto Sniper... That having been said, its about 2 years off due to money issues, unless of course someone would kindly like to donate their G&G M14 to me ^_^

     

    More pictures, less talk about which is M14 is better (EBR or not)  We all know that everyone has their own oppinions.  And having said that, keep it civilized, we all own M14's, in real life they all shoot the same round, some are just uglier (EBR) then others :)

     

    Im not 100% positive but Im pretty sure the TM and other M14s arnt able to take as many real steel parts. My G&G Veteran has a real steel spindle valve, butt plate, rear sling adaptor, and a few other parts. I was supprised how easy they went on. I even put a wood heatshield on my M14 instead of the fiberglass one. I just like haveing real gun parts on my M14.

  9. No, my bolt wiggles too. Its just the way its made. Ive has my G&G Veteran for a while and Ive had no major problems. Just watch out for the front sight, spindle valve, and gas piston parts, they will fall off after a while if your not carefull and dont tighten them after they loosen a bit.

    My new G&G "Veteran" 14. Sorry for the crappy pic. I'll get better ones soon.

     

    I own a G&G Veteran also and love it. The wood on the gun though has a walnut "finish" which will scrape off eventually. I took the finish totally off and heres how it looks. It looks a lot better in person. The G&G M14s are so good you can switch certain parts off for real M14 parts.

    Thats some of the gear from my basic Vietnam Light Infantry loadout. Only thing not in picture is my (real) M6 Bayonet and M8A1 scabbard. Vietnam era field gear is like MOLLE. Ive got a bunch of different pouches and you can customize you belt just as much as you can to a MOLLE vest as long as you got enough pouches. And believe it or not authentic Vietnam gear is pretty expensive. Im not talking about chinese made rip-offs, Im talking about the real U.S. issue gear that now over 40 years old. Everything in the picture (besides the airsoft guns) is authentic Vietnam era gear. Even the patches on the shirt (including the one with my name on it) are authentic.

     

    More pictures comming when I get my Inokatsu M60A1. I add to my Vietnam collection just about every day so only when I decide to take a break from buying I will post pictures of everything. If I post more pictures now they will be outdated very very very soon.
