absolut0 Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 don't forget the box and weight is the same as the marui m14, so you will still have to add shipping to that one. So if you mentally add $70 to this price, remember to add it to the marui one too. Link to post Share on other sites
chas Posted October 27, 2006 Report Share Posted October 27, 2006 Heard it has steel gears.. sooo... not much to upgrade it to 400 FPS and use it as a Dm rifle (only semi shots, that is), right? Sweet, dude, sweet... Link to post Share on other sites

Sweet, dude, sweet... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Just placed my order So i have seen on the reviews website for the KART M14, you (i assume) have crono'd it at 330average with others coming out between 310/330fps But on your website it says they are 280fps.?

aznsk8s87 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Or, they can choose not to be lazy and make arnies accounts instead. I imagine fung is far too busy to have to deal with multiple forums. Link to post Share on other sites
lineman66 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 The TM M14 is generally available stateside for ~$400 give or take about 10 dollars and so the clone is still only half the price, plus if one were to purchase the clone one would not have the option to buy the OD stock version.

absolut0 Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 $125 + $70 shipping + basic upgrades to ensure reliability compaired to $430-450 = happy airsofter for me. Even if i replace everything and add a real wood stock it'd be cheaper. also, there are OD versions floating around from the phillipian release. i don't know if gunner has those, but apparently they're around Link to post Share on other sites
burning_ghost Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Gunner replied and advised me he has no time to perform the upgrades I asked about. Goes to show just how busy he is these days. I don't have the experience to do them myself so I'll leave it for now. My pal is getting one though so I'll get to have a look and then maybe order one.

alastairthegreat Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 hi gunner, i ordered a cyma .28 with the hop-up upgrade and an extra battery and magazine off you recently and have recieved youre e-mail about the price and have sent you the money via paypal but since then i have recieved no conformation of if you have recieved the money or done the upgrades or shipped my gun. if you have shipped it then please could i have a tracking order number so i can see where its got to, thanks. i just really want to know when i'll be getting it, i asked for the cheaper shipping option becouse ive heard that theyre less likely to incur shipping costs. any help or info would be much apprecitaed, thanks ali (paypal name : ian gordon) Link to post Share on other sites
ani[|]al Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 If only to play devil's advocate, I will say with the added shipping costs (~70 dollars for a 5.2 kg package?) the total cost of this M14 will only be half that of a TM and therefore less appealing to me as a consumer trying to decide between a TM and a clone. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Comes with Large battery and Charger and Hi cap Magazine." large battery on a tm is 25-20$ charger=25$ (+ Tokyo Marui 440rd Magazine for M14=33.50) Link to post Share on other sites

Md0ggyd0g Posted October 28, 2006 Report Share Posted October 28, 2006 Evil- If you don't want the hicap and are thinking about selling it...if gunners doesn't have any extras I may be interested... Link to post Share on other sites

buddy_rich Posted October 29, 2006 Report Share Posted October 29, 2006 buddy_rich, i've read through your review a few times and it's great! thank you so much for posting all that information. One thing i havn't found in your review however is mention if the hop-up is marui compatable. You said it's similar, but didn't say whether you can just drop in a stadard replacement hopup if needed (as well as add a tightbore) could you please clearify? thanks!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> tnx sir. haven't dealt with it's hop up yet bec. of some upgrades i had to do first to test how far the stock internal parts can handle. i think the chinese have learned their lesson on aeg's so i'm sure the hop and barrel shld be of the same design as that of marui so hop and tight bores barrel ugrades i hope are easy installs. so with that i'll post an update about it's hop coz i think it needs some further tweaks to improve it's compression. Kart truly is an amazing new brand. I was so happy the gears are basically gears for version 2/3 gearbox making the upgrade process way simpler and better than tm's m14. i hope there are metal m14 hop chambers available now. is there?

Or just swamped with questions and orders? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> give him some time, i last heard from him last friday, saying he was testing out the M14s that are ready to go out on monday. so i'd imagine he's very busy doing that, aswell as takng in mad amounts of orders for these...

Jetro Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 This is rediculous. I've never made an impulse buy so quickly . Link to post Share on other sites
BigTomO Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I recieved my shipping quote and it was "Shipping will be $88 (EMS) or $72 (airmail)" to the UK. Pretty good, I've already paid too! I think we all need to give Fung a little time as he is extremely busy at the moment due to the L96 and this M14, not to mention the tons of other good stuff (i.e. the PRK kit) on his website!
