Clot Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 If the quality and reliability of the many a&k 249's in my local area are anything to go buy. I will definately buy this over the Ares/Star. I have seen quite a few STAR 249's break down, never seen an a&k one break down. I have owned the VFC mk43. Nothing compares. Though the price is far too much these days for me to justify. I will be buying the A&K M60VN as soon as its released. Go-Go-Vietnam Loadout Link to post Share on other sites

However, I've seen one broken into two parts. I'm not putting too high expectation on the plastic chassis. Erik. Link to post Share on other sites
Payne06 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Until the distributor tells me they are not coming, I am keeping positive thoughts. I have been hosed in the past, by not wanting to wait on deals, then missing out. Like I have said in the past, the guns were at a good enough price, that I can wait. Well, keep your hopes up and fingers crossed bro. I can't wait for these bad boys to come in. I've wanted an M60 variant since I started airsofting over 8 years ago and now I am finally about to be getting one within the next month! Link to post Share on other sites

Hillslam Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks for the pictures! Nice, look at that fat battery going in. I like the shot of the rheostat up front too. Wonder if just unplugging it preserves the ciruit. Wonder if it acts as a fuse... lol Interesting mechbox layout. Holy cow look at the size of that nozzle!!! Is the VFC one that ungodly long as well?

Azulsky Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 What is the bearing size? The rheostat will be the first thing out when i get mine. Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 The rheostat looks cool. I'd guess if you take it out it would unlease the true unrelenting ROF the gun could possibly push out. Seems like someone has been looking at the High Vrs Low ROF thread here huh? Some perfering the lower ROF for very long suppressive fire while others want a masooove wall of death at once. I might pick one of these up, or wait for the VN. Depends on what the price is like and how well they run, but I'm getting the SVD first. I want a sniper before I splash out on another AEG.

Azulsky Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 It just a huge chunk of resistance, just wasting the battery. Link to post Share on other sites
Payne06 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Thanks for posting the pics! Wow, that air nozzle is very long. Did the piston come swiss cheesed like that or was that modded by the user? Can that speed control device be eliminated from the circuit? Link to post Share on other sites

Dont get your hopes up. If removing the rheostat just removes resistance from the circuit, then you unleash the full potential of.... wait for it... your battery. Just like any other aeg runs regularly. Its not creating magic rof. I *highly* doubt it'll be some bb hose. That'd mean they put some ultra high spin turbo motor in there, and then crippled it by cranking the resistance, and making your battery cry uncle in the bargain. Yeah it'll be the first thing to go in mine too. hope there's no chance for that air nozzle to bind... would also like to know the bearing size and dims. will eventually order some VXBs for it if it joins the hallowed ranks of my CA M249MkII in the support gunning pantheon of awesomeness.

Payne06 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Yeah, for a $300 airsoft support gun, I am not expecting the 1337 of performance and ROF out of this thing. Remember... you get what you pay for guys. Link to post Share on other sites
Hillslam Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Yeah my expectations are low. I'm mainly buying to strike poses for the hotties. Link to post Share on other sites
Mossad Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 you can disable the ROF control by using a plug that comes with the gun the plug is 3 prong and the bypass plug connects only 2 of the wires. link to more pics http://www.filairsoft.com/forum/showthread.php?t=74131 Link to post Share on other sites
[VT]Mofo2000 Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 interesting, the gearbox design is different than that of VFC. Link to post Share on other sites
tbsix Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 wonder if you can use an LBT feed tray cover on this? Link to post Share on other sites
JetL Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Hope you can get a decent airseal with that monster nozzle. Hopefully it's already o-ringed as I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for an aftermarket air nozzle. Rheostat is silly. Hillslam is dead on about that. I'm guessing that plunger deal that is connected to the buttstock plate is for adjusting your motor height? If so it's the most elaborate grub screw I've ever seen LOL.

My guess is that plunger looking thing on the butt plate is either for motor height, or is to push against the GB so it will not slide back and out of place (that is IF it does not have screws holding the gearbox in).

Hillslam Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 It probably aligns with the Quick Release spring. Pushes on the spring guide. Well, mine's now sitting in Customs. *wheelbarrow*. Link to post Share on other sites
