gerrysnaps Posted November 13, 2009 Report Share Posted November 13, 2009 Fantastic, hope JG make RIS'd out options as well. The plastic bodied ones are indeed in short supply even here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hite Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Anyone know of any retailers that are going to sell this on in the UK (save me the hassle of importing). Alex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dyeinbreed Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 Well I got the rifle a couple days ago from RSOV, good news is that the trades came with just tape which came off easily. The gun is really hefty and it feels like the magazine weighs almost as much as the gun, and if you take the magazine and bolt carrier group out of the gun it weighs almost nothing. It's very high quality plastic all the way around and for ~$120 shipped for the gun it was a steal. GBBr's are so much more interesting to handle than AEG's, I find myself disassembling it and reassembling just because of how simple and neat it is. A couple issues I've had are some misfeeds here and there, the magazine leaks (expected that), has some weird issues with full auto sometimes like uncocking itself after a few shots, and the bolt catch worked maybe 4 or 5 times before it was shredded. The actual assembly is made of steel but there is a small square sliver on the end made of plastic that actually is what the bolt stops back on. Of course after a few catches this piece gets worn down to the point it wont catch with the mag but does work if you manually pull the bolt back and fiddle with the bolt release button you can get it to lock. I assume this is because the loading nozzle is made of plastic so if it had a steel bolt catch piece locking it all the time it would shred it, and I would much rather have a working gun with no bolt lock than the reverse.

Reppyboyo Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 What happened to these? Not heard anything about them since they all sold out months ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 The Chinese manufacturers have to crawl out of their mouse holes and set up shop anew after the October government raids. Three months and they should be fine again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dyeinbreed Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 (edited) Mine is still kicking strong. Although I attached a silencer from a P90TR and can't get it off, even using a wrench, it's weird. Edited December 31, 2009 by dyeinbreed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jond36 Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 lol to the silencer. Any word on the new metal upgraded version. Is it exactly the same but with a metal body? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrooklynBorn Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Does it have the G&P barrel nut? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TANGO91 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Hey guys, I just purchased a JG GBB M4 that the owner told me only shoots semi auto. So i was just wondering if you guys could possibly tell me which part needs to be replace to regain the use of full auto? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
vilerk Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 A picture of the lower internals would be helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TANGO91 Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Unfortunately I dont have the gun at this time, but hypothetically what parts could be causing this problem? do you think its as simple as a deformed selector? I may just end up replacing all the parts with ACM steel parts anyway but i have heard that the JG parts are much better made than the AGM parts and do not need to be replaced out of the box.

Sinis Posted March 1, 2010 Report Share Posted March 1, 2010 Nice, gonna cost a fortune on magazines tho and knowing my luck i will end up breaking at least 1 a skirmish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pariah_WP Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 So a local (Hawaii) airsofter who recently went to HK and came back with a bunch of toys claims that his METAL GBBR is a JG M4. It has a short barrel and an RIS. I wasn't allowed to crack it open to look at it (yeah...that is what makes me doubt it is a JG), but it did for sure have a JG magazine and bolt carrier group. Initially I wrote it off as a WE M4 CQB rolling my eyes at the whole affair. Then he cocked it. Its' bolt chamber lacked the copper assembly of the WE and it had trades (Awful ones...) on the metal body. I really want this to be true, but I cannot believe that these are not everywhere for sale if they are indeed JG made. I hope it is just some kit bodge that he threw together because if it is not then where the heck are they!?! He isn't saying where he got it and has gone all smug about the whole thing. Can anyone tell me where these are? Otherwise I am calling shenanigans and going back to my general assumption that it is some weird combination of a metal body kit from somewhere, a plastic JG M4 and a shorter inner barrel job.

LordElpus Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 He may have got one of the Version 2 JG GBB M4s produced just before the anniversary shut down. Several HK retailers released info that JG were releasing a second version with a metal body just after the first batch of plastic bodied ones ran out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ion Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Yeah, Redwolf has the JG that they say has a metal reciever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
