nicktheww2fanatic Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 oops...just read a note on G&G's site saying they were nylon...maybe it was the old version then Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chaoswithinthed Posted September 3, 2007 Report Share Posted September 3, 2007 (edited) ARG! If I would have waited a couple more days, I would have ordered the G&G over the my CA . The new G&Gs wern't in the US yet. Don't get me wrong, I love my CA, but I would love to have it pre upgraded like the G&G. Edit- Good review too!

otherrandomhero Posted September 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 ASGI seems to explain it pretty well. They have a great picture up, too. It really shows what the wood is like. As I said before, it's a dark, non-grainy mahogany like the real one, unlike the bright, grainy, non-real looking TM one. http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=2681 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BP-anon Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 Are there any internal diffs between the vet and other models (socom, to be exact) other than the spring? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Captain_Kev Posted September 15, 2007 Report Share Posted September 15, 2007 I have a review in progress up at ASR for anyone who wants to know a bit about the SOCOM version. http://www.airsoftretreat.com/forums/index.php?board=24.0 Big thanks to Otherrandomhero for unveiling G&G's marvelous v4 guns!

otherrandomhero Posted September 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 You're welcome . I stuck an M100 in the gun today in hopes of bringing it down to a safer velocity. To my surprise, it chronoed at 365! This is probably because of the super long tightbore and awesome cylinder set. You UK guys will definitely need an M90 or weaker to use yours.

BP-anon Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 ASGI lowballs a bit on the FPS, it seems. Anyway, it can take standard hop rubbers. Great... standard barrels, too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great... standard barrels, too? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It has an AUG-style hop, and my firefly bucking fits like a glove so it takes standard ones. I'm 99.999999% sure it takes standard barrels too.

PheonixZero Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 It does... drop a nice Promy or Systema or one of your choice and you'll be set to rock and roll. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted September 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 The standard tightbore it comes with appears to be a really nice one, so Prometheus or PDI (maybe systema too) are pretty much the only way to go if you want to upgrade it.

BP-anon Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 I dropped an email to Dee's Customs about a 407mm (soc16) length custom... i'll post when I get a reply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BP-anon Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 OK, update. Price for a 407mm standard cut tightbore is $55 plus shipping, but you HAVE TO SPECIFICALLY ASK FOR IT. They will take the next size barrel, ak47, and cut it down to size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XaVierDK Posted September 23, 2007 Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Where the hell did you find that gun @ 350$? I promised myself I would never get another gun, damn you all to hell Best Regards Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted September 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2007 Umm...everywhere in America. ASGI, Evike, airsplat, AEX, and pretty much everywhere else carrying G&G guns carries them all at reduced prices now. Sorry for everyone else, though, since this seems to only be on prices in the US.

otherrandomhero Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Mmk, a bit of an update. Today the black wire pulled out of the tamiya connector and the red wire pulled out of the fuse unit. I'm sure all you TM-humpers (seki, corkbulb) are probably dancing and singing now because you feel secure in your TM, but frankly TM's wiring isn't great either. G&Gs is better out of the box, it just wasn't secured in the connector very well. Since resoldering it, it now fires noticeably quicker too. So, yeah, the G&G is still better in every aspect. Nyah nyah! Oh, and I'll have a few pics of it up tomorrow I took with my gf's camera. No, dookieboy, I will not show you the rest of the pics on there Quote Link to post Share on other sites

otherrandomhero Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 (edited) Okay, there will be delay on the pictures, since my computer got majorly *fruitcaged* by a virus and I'm going to Duluth for the weekend. I'll say though since I now have one, a 9.6v battery will NOT fit without modification to the wires. There is room in the stock for one, except you'll notice when your sliding the battery in that when it has about 1.5" left it starts pulling the wires in with it and it won't fit. The problem isn't that it's gripping the wire (well, it was originally but I put scotch tape on the wires and battery so it slides smoothly) but is that it pushes against the fuse unit. Mine fit originally, but that was because I pushed hard enough to pop the wire out of the fuse and allowed it to be moved back without disturbing the connector. There is no way to avoid this without modding. So, what do you do? Extend the wires. Yes, it's that simple, but you need to be able to solder. I added about 2" of wire to both the black and red wires and now the battery will fit. The problem now is that I hooked up the fuse wrong and it melted the whole unit in half, rendering the gun unusable. If you don't make the mistake I did, you should now have a perfectly functioning gun that can hold a 9.6v in the stock. Well, now I need to fix my problem. Pics to come later to help you know what it is, but if anyone has a plastic fuse unit (20A 250/ fuse) they can sell me, let me know. ohhh TMI! -Too Much Information What are you, gay?

M14 Posted October 11, 2007 Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 I just want to point something out about the wood stock. I dont know if it was changed (I got my G&G M14 a year ago) but the wood is not naturally dark. G&G put some kind of brown paint on the wood to make it look like walnut. Since my M14 is used just about every week, the paint started to come off and look like ######. I just scraped it off and stained the wood. The wood is a nice quality but its not naturally dark like walnut. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otherrandomhero Posted October 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2007 Hm, maybe. I haven't skirmished it (I'm mainly a collector now) so my finish is still looking pretty darn good. You could be right, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
