airsoftalex Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 hello! I have a gp m16vn and I can assure you it is of a very high quality. The gear box is specially shaped for the gears and the hop is metal constructed. The exterior build of the gun is superior to others that I have seen and I have yet to detect anything that I am unhappy about! I also use gp 110 mid caps. thumbs up for g&p all around, including the packaging Link to post Share on other sites
TheEgo Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I bought a second hand G&P M4 CQB, and so far not any major problems with it. I'm not entirely sure how much was done internally by the previous owner. The only prolbem I've heard with G&P's is a weak hop rubber, but that's a cheap fix (so I'm told) Very sturdy construction, I'm a little fussy with that kind of thing (Engineering background), most of the TM's feel like I'd break them and creak etc...

Vice Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 I bought a G&P m4a1 Comes at 400fps Has steel bushings Reinforced piston EG700 motor G&P gears mine had a good tappet plate..but some report of bad ones Good hop up 6.03 barrel Only problem I had was the high fps.. way to high for UK. So i had the spring changed and all is well it can run on 9.6v batts with no problems EDIT: Forgot to metion that the exterior detail is much better than anything offered by TM, ICS, G&G and CA.

Tef Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 G&P m4 is one the nicest one out there, however not alot of us talk about it because as standard they are 1.2J powered, i.e. over forum rules limit. so we dont usually talk about it. plsu being 1.2J 90% of the UK skirmish sites arent allowing them to be used Link to post Share on other sites
Easy Company Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 not gonna be able to order mine till end of next week let us know what it's like when it arrives!!!! justin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will-do, mate. The CAR-15 (XM177) fires .20 rounds at 325-350 fps. Link to post Share on other sites
Krazy L Posted October 13, 2005 Report Share Posted October 13, 2005 i alway thought g&p was bad company. no one ever said anything about it. so g&p armalites are good guns? Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted October 14, 2005 Report Share Posted October 14, 2005 I believe that there are existing issues with them, but with the lack of information, I never understood what. A few times, I heard about tappet plates being the wrong length, but I wasn't too sure. There's supposed to be a very big thread down at Airsoft Players that discusses all the problems with the G&P M4s, but perhaps they have improved upon their AEGs. Link to post Share on other sites

ViciousV10s Posted October 19, 2005 Report Share Posted October 19, 2005 I have a WGC custom M653 on the way. I emailed WGC to ask what internals come with the gun. because the description on the site only talks about the body of the gun not the internals. This was their reply: "Hello, WGC M653 is using GRS full gearbox set'GRS-GBS-330XM', original power is around 350fps, includes reniforced gear set, piston, metal spring guide, and hard gearbox, can handle 400fps without other reinforced parts:-)" So the internals arent G&P.

Easy Company Posted October 20, 2005 Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 not gonna be able to order mine till end of next week let us know what it's like when it arrives!!!! justin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well it arrived today, less than a week after I placed the order. When I opened the box, my first impressions weren't good - I thought they had sent me a damn M733 because the XM flash supressor wasn't attached, but a plastic, orange barrel plug instead. I picked the little bugger up and was shocked how much more compact it felt than my ICS M4. First thing I inspected were the Colt trademarks; they have to be removed or masked before the gun can come into the States, but to my delight, all they did was take a few pieces of black grip-tape (as in skateboard grip-tape) and covered them up, so naturally, I peeled that junk off. The forward assist and charging handle serve no purpose and are purely cosmetic, but the G&P receiver is nothing short of nice. Next, I played with the delta ring, which is a *badgeress* I must admit (nothing like the ease of the ICS ring). It's just like an M733 basically, with the simulated gas-tube that adds such backbone to the gun, it's down-right impressive. There is ZERO barrel wobble and the damn foregrips are somewhat hard to get off. Afterwhich, I replaced the cheap-o plastic foregrips with real CAR-15 foregrips. I bought them from GunBroker.com for about $12 and removed the heat-sheilds - they fit like a glove. The only thing I'm not really impressed with is the plastic stock (the tube is fine), but it's not that bad at all. I'm gonna see if I can fit a real CAR-15 stock to the tube. Only thing left to do is fire it, which I would have done, but my battery is too big to fit inside the foregrips. As of right now, one word discribes this gun: SOLID. I'll post some pics of it tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites
shotagain1 Posted October 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2005 sounds bloody good then?? will hope to be ordering mine at the end of next week!!! "bloody banks" Justin Link to post Share on other sites
tgrillo Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I got my G&P M4A1 a while back, great gun mine shot about 340 FPS with .2 when it settled a bit. It worked great stock, but problems arose when it got opened. Apparently the tappet plate is having problems now that we opened it, and we are trying a few things to try and fix it. Other than that, I am very happy with my investment Link to post Share on other sites
