crimsonfalcon07 Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 (edited) Here's a brief teaser for the new CYMA M14, which arrived today, courtesy of Keith at RSOV. It's the newest and best M14 out from China, with a lot of nice features. Here's the full gun: The faux wood is much nicer than the UTG/Kart, with less glare, and the heatshield is matte instead of shiny. It also boasts a metal gas tube, better finish than the AGM, and a full metal buttplate, without that annoying shiny plastic like on the UTG: The magazine appears to be a different size than the Kart, but the Kart mag fits in nicely. The front sight is more detailed, with the center adjustment dial being capable of being turned, and the rear sight is also fully adjustable, and looks much better than the Kart. Only downside is that it doesn't come with a scope mount. It does come with a FULL TM cloned v.7 gearbox with small spur gears, and looks to be fully upgradeable. And, it also comes with a stock tightbore, which appears to be in between 6.03mm and 6.04mm in diameter. It's looking very nice so far, more to come when I get the battery charged. -edit- Okay, performance is really good, much better than the UTG/Kart or AGM. The tightbore seems to have good tolerances, and I don't have any trouble hitting small targets at 100 feet. I can hit 10/10 shots on pop cans with the iron sights, which I've zeroed with .2's. The gearbox is quiet and sounds like it's well shimmed, and holds up well under full auto. It's a bit louder than I would like--to date the JG MP5 is probably the quietest gearbox I've heard, but it's probably a hair better than the AGM, with much better finish than either of the clones out. Plus, this is a full TM clone, with TM compatible hopup and inner barrel. TM and Kart magazines both feed great, as does the stock magazine.

Hustie Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Got a couple Q's if you don't mind: 1. How do you know that the barrel is a tightbore? 2. Is the frontsight/flashider metal painted orange or orange plastic? 3. Any idea on how many rounds the mag holds? PS - Wrong section. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy613 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm thinking my next gun will be the CM.032, so thanks for the info. How much did to cost including shipping? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pinkfloyd Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yawn* yet ANOTHER clone...boooring. Tell me when they start painting their boxes with hookers like Inokatsu, then I'll care... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Noodle_2000 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Yawn* yet ANOTHER clone...boooring.

Got a couple Q's if you don't mind: 1. How do you know that the barrel is a tightbore? 2. Is the frontsight/flashider metal painted orange or orange plastic? 3. Any idea on how many rounds the mag holds? PS - Wrong section. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1. I used some calipers to measure it. I checked because it was reported to be a tightbore on gunner. 2. It's metal, it doesn't originally come orange painted, I just had RSOV paint it orange for US customs. He painted a little more than I had expected... 3. I have no idea yet, it's a hi-cap, and I didn't want to count them out one by one quite yet. I'll get you more exact numbers later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 I'm doing a video review on this too, which will be finished soon. To answer a few Qs - the tightbore is nicely crowned and is a 6.04mm. The Gearbox is a 100% clone of the TM. Metal bushings as stock. The hop-up is godly, as is the accuracy. With the irons dailed in I can hit a McD ketchup packet every time at 10m. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 (edited) so far so good xD might get this and then try and fit the socom conversion on xD EDIT: also i think like Hustie said i think its in the wrong section :S Edited August 21, 2007 by Coolz10uk2003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marine47 Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Does this gun have any trades? I know it won't say springfield on it, but does it at least have something engraved on the reciever? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crimsonfalcon07 Posted August 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Nope, nothing on the receiver at all. In fact, I don't think it even says CYMA anywhere on the gun. Darklite, you know if CYMA is going to do the EBR also? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darklite, you know if CYMA is going to do the EBR also? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> i second that, just found out what EBR means and why they did it thought it looked odd tbh but now its not odd, its now practical i wanna have 3 moscart lauchers on it, DMR come 3 shot hail storm of doom gun EDIT: i was watching a vid on the EBR and they said you could change the pistol grip and stock with a M870 shotgun stock, any ideas if this would fit in place of the normal EBR stock im having a day dream of what it could look like Edited August 22, 2007 by Coolz10uk2003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darklite, you know if CYMA is going to do the EBR also? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They might - but atm all that's confirmed from CYMA is the SOCOM, and then most likely a P90 that isn't *beep* like the R-9. KART, however, are doing an EBR. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ritifo Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 If anyone knows, could they please answer: How does the price of the CYMA compare to the AGM/KART's? In the States, both of the current clones are about $125 dollars shipped, but getting it from rsov is significantly more expensive? Will the price match more evenly once it starts getting into US shops? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 very nice, my friend is buying one for a DMR/countersniper. i was going to buy an army R85 for this, but this is tempting. what to choose? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lordyeray Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 The Cyma M14 seems better in performance (working hop up, 6.04 tightbore) and reliability, but the Army R85 wins in external finishing. Today i'd pick the Cyma. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
my_plague_666 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 i'd have the R85 as a longer term project really, if i can get one up to M14 ish performance i'll go with the L85. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy613 Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) I just heard that the CYMA M14 has reversed polarity just like the AGM and I think KART. Can anyone confirm this? Edited August 25, 2007 by Galaxy613 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Warning Posted August 25, 2007 Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 I just heard that the CYMA M14 has reversed polarity just like the AGM and I think KART. Can anyone confirm this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> the Kart does not, and the CMYA from what i read does not and tbh none of there other AEGs have reversed polarity so why should they make one with reversed polarity? so i reckon some ones pulling your leg and trying to put u off these Quote Link to post Share on other sites
crimsonfalcon07 Posted August 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2007 (edited) Nope, it's standard polarity. It's the AGM that has reversed polarity. Kart and CYMA both are standard. Full review completed. I also did a video review, but it's too big to upload to youtube, sadly, so I need to edit it down. http://groups.google.com/group/asgar/web/a...n-rifle-reviews Edited August 25, 2007 by crimsonfalcon07 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evil Empire INC Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 confirmed, it was the agm that came with the reverse wired battery pack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Bad Posted September 28, 2007 Report Share Posted September 28, 2007 I ve recently got one and i must say its the shizzle i find is so useful for sniper hunting because its got the range and the accuracy to pick them off faster than they realize whats happening.
