Vortix Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 I was thinking 'that has so much potential while I scrolling through those pictures, and then arriving at the latter pictures and thought 'yeah, that'd be it!' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 Dont post those pictures again, ever! its insanelly hard not to buy and build a battle rifle like those after watching those images @_@  Awesome guns nonetheless  BTW: Which brand is the other one? which one do you like the most? thanks =) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legionnaire759 Posted May 13, 2014 Report Share Posted May 13, 2014 The top pictures are of an ARES M110 SASS. The bottom is a beautified A&K SR25K. Just testament to the idea that it doesn't have to be expensive to look nice  You'll likely see some more pictures of the M110 in the coming weeks as I have plans of getting a repro Leupold optic (or short dot) with either a canted T1 or a canted doctor sight.  Isamu: Battle rifles have become my pride and joy of airsoft. 5.56 rifles just feel too small to me.

RhinoUSC Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 URX3 SR16 Setup is done. KAC FTW.   That is one of the sexiest guns that I have ever seen. Well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not a very tall guy (1,78m) so that's why I prefer carbine length weapons, but those SR25s look awesome as hell. Edited May 14, 2014 by Vortix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Legionnaire759: Thanks for the info, mate! I have been toying with the idea of a 7.62 AR-like gun for some time and the A&K seems to be the cheapest option from the upgrade and midcaps point of view... I believe it is almost V2 and AR compatible, right? Â Vortix: I believe the SR25 from A&K is slightly longuer than an M4A1 as It has a 14" outer barrel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 So it's shorter? The M4A1 has a 14.5" outer barrel.. Â Â Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Taiwangun states the inner barrel is 350mm, so the outer barrel is probably the same length or slightly more as the flash hider looks a bit longuer Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) No, TaiwanGun is wrong it seems. The inner barrel length of a M4A1 should be 363mm for most brands. M4A1s have 14.5" outer barrels.  http://www.colt.com/Catalog/ColtMilitary/Products/ColtM4Carbine.aspx#100845-technical-specifications Edited May 14, 2014 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Certainly, 363mm is the length of most M4A1 barrels, but I meant that judging by taiwan gun inner barrel length and a slightly longuer flash hider, the sr25 should be the same size or slightly longuer than a regular M4A1 and the outer barrel be the same size or slightly longuer as well.

DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) The barrel length doesn't take into account the flash hider though.. According to some retailers the actual outer barrel of the SR25K is ~13.5" so it will, by definition, be smaller than the 14.5" M4A1 barrel. Granted overall you need to take into account flash hider.   EDIT: After doing some more research it seems the overall barrel length including flash hider is 380mm so it really does depend on what flash hider is on the M4A1. With the standard birdcage flash hider I would imagine they were almost the same. Edited May 14, 2014 by DeltaZero Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Great, mistery solved then, now I just need to work on my meditation skills to resist the urge to build something as cool as Legionnaire´s gun... I will pretend my AKM is a high caliber gun XD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Very true. It is beautiful I've been thinking of doing similar also.. but with fusion engine guts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Why? AEGs are so beautiful... why tarnish a gun with a hose?  Im sorry for the offtopic  Im quite torn on the base decision, A&K is cheaper, more compatible and mags are cheaper, the ARES has a sexyer lower receiver but propietary mags and is less compatible... so difficult decision (sad panda) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Because the range and consistent accuracy I can get with my P* is something I've never been able to match no matter what combination of parts I try and I think I've tried them all, along with the fact mine is practically silent. I have a good variety of AEGs and they all have their place and are used for certain roles but the P* just outperforms them all. The complete lack of maintenance needed, ease of use and second to none trigger response. Add the fact that with the FCU it is a completely programmable tool you can't go wrong. Â I don't want to start the "P* am bestest" argument again as it's been done to death but personally I think the pros outweigh the cons, granted having a hose attached isn't exactly the best solution but once you get playing you honestly don't even notice it.

Legionnaire759 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Yep, the SR25k is the same length (if not an inch longer) as an M4, just beefier. As far as compatibility, the A&K runs an elongated Ver.2 gearbox. A quick Google search should tell you the one or two proprietary parts as I can't think of them off the top of my head. Lately I have been keeping all of my guns stock other than R-Hopping the hop-up and I have been more than pleased with their performances. Upgrades and other things will come down the road if they ever decide to break. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I asked the guy making the "tech" I need in my guns and said that, stock, the A&k has some compression consistency problems, did you find them in your gun Legionnaire? barrel and bucking wise Im planning on using an rhoped ICS chamber/bucking/barrel I had in an old and retired ICS M4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MRF Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Actually 363 mm is not maximum You can put into what we used to call 14,5 inch outer barrel. Even my 380 mm Prommy for Masada doesn't cover whole inner length of it. Maximum is 390 mm. I guess the problem is there must be some difference between how the lengths of the real M4 barrel and its replica are measured. I mean the starting point... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DeltaZero Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Well an accurate 14.5" outer barrel would measure ~368.3mm take into account the inch or there abouts to get it into the hop chamber through the barrel nut etc and you're probably bang on with a 380-90mm. But in terms of outerbarrel, which was the main point, a 14.5" is always going to be longer than a 13.5". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Legionnaire759 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 (edited) Personally I didn't have any problems with consistency or air compression in my A&K but I'm sure it can varry from rifle to rifle. Edited May 14, 2014 by Legionnaire759 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DrAlexanderTobacco Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Love it. Is there any way to remove the front sight post? (And a way to add the other half of the MBUS?) Always hated those things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin_The+Ferret Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 Front sight is pinned and grub screwed like any other AR sight. Should be easy to swap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RhinoUSC Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Mentlegen, I give you the silliest thing I have ever done:  SR-25 based, Mp5k inner barrel. This is against everything I know. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
