Kingmob3 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The M4 sights sit too low to co witness, and IMO, the gost ring that the stock G36C has are much better. KM Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 With my newly arrived gas block/barrel section, I can finally complete the G36C. Shown below with folding foregrip, front quick-release sling mount and M3-taclight with pressure switch. The rail is a Star flat rail with MP7 sights and a G&P red/green dot sight. Â Â I'm thinking of getting one of these EOTech style sights instead - any thoughts? Â Also, I took the opportunity to try out this configuration for my proposed 9mm G36 conversion kit. Show below with the same accessories as above: Â Â Maybe it's just me, but I think it looks pretty awesome. I prowled around the house for a few minutes with the new G36C in both 5.56mm and 9mm modes, and it's very comfortable with the folding grip in vertical position, not so much when it's folded up. The taclight and red-dot sight work well together, and the short barrel makes the gun very pointable and nicely balanced - the weight is mostly in the main body, above the trigger hand due to the short barrel and skeletal stock.

CZFan Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Work in progress. I bought this as a joke and fell in absolute love with the size/weight/fit and the gearbox i actually love opening up (unlike the dreaded v2). i'll list it all along with the obvious stuff. Yes, it's a classic army K variant. Â - hogue universal grip - 36c modified top rail and sights - shortened muzzle break (while i figure how to properly put a silencer i like) - folding vertical grip - side/bottom rails - 420fps internals (stock gears, piston and head have been changed, wiring shows no signs of wear either - a miracle i know). mini 9.6v lasts for 3 hicaps with conservative shooting frequency - metal charging handle - trimmed ejection port cover (you can get it to open another 2cm by cutting it some from the front. if you remove the top gb mount you can get it to slide all the way back but i figure that extra support is needed) Â next on the list when i get the time is to put on the eofake and eradicate the stupid trademarks and text on the body. you can see the tape over some of it to prevent dirt from getting in there while i procrastinate. well thats it... most fun of an aeg i've had. the cult of the m16 just lost a member.

Hedganian Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'd be wary of that unprotected foresight blade. They put shrouds around them for a reason, you know. Link to post Share on other sites
CZFan Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) irrelevant. the sights have no value other than aesthetics. i might change the front one eventually anyway. depending on how it works with the holosigh/red dot fake Edited May 12, 2009 by CZFan Link to post Share on other sites

ST19AG_WGreymon Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm thinking of buying a JG G36C and using the GWS XM8 conversion kit, do you guys think it will work? Link to post Share on other sites
UrPeaceKeeper Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 I'm thinking of buying a JG G36C and using the GWS XM8 conversion kit, do you guys think it will work? Â Why not go for the SRC XM8 Gen III? Link to post Share on other sites
ST19AG_WGreymon Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) Why not go for the SRC XM8 Gen III? Â I'm debating about that now since I hear the GWS kit sight is ######. How is the SRC sight? Â Also does it have the same trades as the GWS kit? I someone would take pics of the "trades" I see on the SRC XM8s but the pics that I see are too blurry.

How is the SRC sight? Also does it have the same trades as the GWS kit? I someone would take pics of the "trades" I see on the SRC XM8s but the pics that I see are too blurry.  There really are no trades on my SRC G36K I mean there are, but they are not manufacturer trades or anything...  With gun facing to the left, it says "Warning Refer to instruction manual then there is a depressed box that says Cal. 6mm BB then where the trades are supposed to be it has my individual serial number...  Well the scope to be honest is still meh... at least my K model is. It's not bad but it's not that great either, eye relief is terrible but as I understand all of them are no matter what model you get. Is it useable? Yeah it is, it's fairly clear too, for the price I was impressed though. The scope is a minor point in the overall quality. I cant recommend the SRC G36 enough, if the GEN II XM8 had the same internals and external quality as my GEN II does I cant imagine what the Gen III is like considering the stats they have!  I'd say it's worth a shot! My GEN II is very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) He's not asking about the XM8, not the G36. Â I have an SRC Gen 2 XM8. It's a great AEG. It was doing 300 fps out of the box, but it's down to about 270 now, 2+ years and several skirmishes later. I've never opened it up or messed with it in any way, and it's never ever let me down. I use it as my all-purpose back-up AEG. Â It has a built-in 3x optical sight that can't be removed (at least not easily, if at all) and useless flip-up iron sights (which you can't use because the optics get in the way). The optics are fine for airsoft use, they *are* adjustable if you've got an allen key the right size and the crosshairs are nice and clear. Â It takes all standard G36 mags, although my Star Midcaps are a tight fit and really slow mag-changes down. There are no trades to speak of, and the finish isn't anything to right home about, the strengths of this AEG are that it's cheap and reliable, not that it's the prettiest replica out there. Â The Gen 3 is supposed to be out soon, if not already, so if you can find one of those, I'd go for that. If not, get a Gen2. You won't be disappointed. Â There's a pic of my XM8 in the H&K Pictures thread: here. You can't tell from the pic, but there is a box with the usual "read manual" warning above the bolt. That's all you get, no trades.

millest Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 now if only i could find someone in the uk that sells those xm8s  also on a side note whats the difference in inner barrel length between a 36c and a 36k? if its significant that might have to be an upgrade for my 36c  cheers millest Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I got mine from WGC in HK, several years ago, pre-VCRA I think. Â See the Inner Barrel Length thread in Technical Discussion. Â Oh, screw it, I'll just tell you from memory: G36C 247mm, G36K 355mm, (M)G36 495mm Edited May 13, 2009 by Hedganian Link to post Share on other sites

demon.b Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 also on a side note whats the difference in inner barrel length between a 36c and a 36k? if its significant that might have to be an upgrade for my 36c cheers millest  I've got a C and a K, I don't notice any difference in performance between the two barrel lengths. When they were both standard they fired within 4 fps of each other and I couldn't tell a difference in range/grouping in normal skirmish use.  Link to post Share on other sites
