Pimpbot Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 This does sound like you were at least partly to blame Well, this was years ago - back when the only gas airsoft 226 was the Tanaka and someone made a metal kit for it (forget who now), so when someone advertises a full metal 226 airsoft, thinking that you are going to, in fact, get an airsoft gun is a fair assumption... Let me guess, you're the guy that sold it to me.. (just kidding) Link to post Share on other sites
swatti Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Back before even Classic Army had made their M249,i went bought the Top with PGC gen1 gearbox. 1300 euros down the drain. PTW M16 max. Seller had put 1600e on it, sold it to me for 500 cause no1 could fix it. Me and many others tried, all failed. Sold in parts. Aprox 450e loss in parts. PTW M4 CK, spent nearly a year broken cause no spares were aviable, then just re-broke all of em. Sold in parts. Nearly 800e loss. Western Arms infinity, about 800 euros worth of parts, never worked properly. Sold in parts. Tm PSG-1, tuned to the max, gearbox broke, no spares existed at the time. 3 months till I got one. Someone replaced the internals with a paintball guns parts story goes. Nearly a grand down the drain Lesson of the story, big bucks don't make it good... I miss being rich.

Hudson Posted September 29, 2015 Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 PEQ-15 battery box from China and a PEQ-15 ready LiFe battery from the UK. I'm sure you can guess the rest. Said battery box is in the bin and the battery was simply duct taped to the receiver out of desperation. Link to post Share on other sites
Mac4556 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Army Armaments L85 - the worse purchase! Blowback put massive strain on the gearbox and then all the internals imploded Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 Army Armaments L85 - the worse purchase! Blowback put massive strain on the gearbox and then all the internals imploded Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk LOL The gears were "OK", its the piston and electricals were made from the same plastic that "melts" under any sort of heat/stress load. The other issue is the brass bushings which causes everything to implode. The other thing is the horrendous Hop up unit giving substandard accuracy. Change the brass bushings out, and change to a G&G L85 wiring system, and then mod a reinforced 17 toothed piston, with a new M4 hop unit and generally the gun runs pretty good.... ...until it jams in a firefight from semi-auto lockup.

Breathe Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 ALL of my AEG's Except my Echo 1 red star and RS Type 97. I've bought several AEG's and built several more myself. The only good thing that came out of hundreds of dollars wasted was an enourmous box of spare parts, and the knowledge that even though it says "marui clone" or "mauri compatable" or "anything compatable" for that matter. It's not. it never is. Link to post Share on other sites
Gunnman Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Traded a TK VP-70 with SD slide for a A&K SAW. Wouldn't be to bad if the SAW had wiring. DOH! Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Am I the only one who seems to be able to get A&K SAWs working or something? Those things are fantastic for the price I pay for them and requires hardly any work or upkeep. They are way more robust than the A&K M60 series. Link to post Share on other sites

Alias1983 Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 Multiple sets of ACM headsets and PTTs. Must have spent £100s replacing them as they broke. Buy cheap buy twice! Waiting out on some real Sordins now Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Don't get the 75303 with lemo and bone mic. You need a specific ptt that works with 1 radio and a 100$ adapter off eBay. I'm sending mine to srstactical to get setup for civi coms, but for the 150$ price one can not complain. Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Socom Gear/Madbull M107 Shell Ejecting GBBR. Worst POS I've ever purchased. shot about 10 rounds, before slamfire/james starts to occur. Funny thing is, I only actually shot 1 BB accidentally through the system because of the dry firing system. All the rest were just dry fire shell cycling... 1800 down the drain... brand new too, and that's why all the retailers pulled them off the shelf... This would've never passed in the US as a product... would've been recalled so quickly.. Link to post Share on other sites
