DarkLite Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The GALAXY MP5K is very good - Steel bushings and decently shimmed out of the box. Even comes with a K-style lowcap as well as the 200rnd hicap. Problem is, the hicap is scrap - chuck it and get some MAG midcaps, or a set of 6 CA metal ones. Then go forth and have fun!

CountDoom Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 So when are the definitive reviews of the new actionhobbys.co.uk stock coming? No pressure or anything I might just buy an AGM M-14 anyway, not a great deal to loose. Link to post Share on other sites

CountDoom Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 By the way I just came across these pics of the AMG M-14: http://www.sunnywarehouse.com/index2.htm Down the bottom of the page. Well, it kept me smiling for a few minutes Link to post Share on other sites
NegativeCambre Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 The M14 clones are really impressive looking as well. The price difference between those and their replicated originals is absolutely staggering... you get what you pay for, certainly, but what you are getting isn't a quarter of the gun it replicates!!

Atomic Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 That A&K box mag looks identical to the First Factory one. Even the box has similar printing. And it looks like there's a hicap in it. I wonder if it's a cheapo (how can it not be) if it can be replaced with a quality hicap. Link to post Share on other sites
Raptor3388 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 I made a review of the Kart M14. What I can say about it : - the motor and the battery are ###### - there are no trademarks - mostly made of metal - very good wood finish - good hi-cap magazine - the gas tube is made of plastic - the metal parts are painted black (should be dark gray) - hard to find now - shoots perfectly and reliable out of box The AGM M14 has a metal gas tube, but also more problems than the Kart: - battery blugs reversed - non-functionning hop-up on some models - the cocking handle will break if you donc place the spring guide correctly (not the gearbox one) - some misfires - the Cyma CM.028 shoots better out of box. But it's delivered with some nice stuffs and is cheaper: - bipod - scope mount - scope Both M14 are not perfect, but once you have reassembled them correctly, they can be very fine.

TrooperX Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hmm aren't we in danger of replicating the Chinese Airspft Development thread here?

zentaurus Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Some good information--the new M14's look really intriguing, especially because of their high metal content. There don't seem to be any super-detailed reviews of this wave of clones. I'm about to write up a '4 months with a cm028s' report, to give some people perspective on how they can hold up with regular skirmishing. Steve <{POST_SNAPBACK}> reviews of the Kart and AGM M14s on the ACMgames boards give very good ratings with the AGM ahead by a little bit. posts on the technical sub forums indicate no tech issues yet. but then, most peeps are still getting acquainted with their internals. KART: http://acmgames.proboards66.com/index.cgi?...read=1161440290 AGM http://acmgames.proboards66.com/index.cgi?...read=1164108884 COMPARO: http://acmgames.proboards66.com/index.cgi?...read=1165409477 darklite: happy to hear that that's my next buy, have preordered one, in fact. btw, intel is the owner of galaxy is the brother of the cyma owner. trench: have the BE AUG Mil. looks good, feels good, shoots good for the price, (but then don't take my word for it -- am a card carrying aug & p90 fan, aside from being an AK nut, of course) only complaint so far is that a plastic bushing cracked while i was breaking in the gears haven't gotten back to it yet; maybe after my mini-beryl and i'll post it as an example of a mod-learning platform trooper: same here. my current list has the galaxy mp5k, the well/jls? mp7, the ump, and the hk33 Link to post Share on other sites
RayDavies Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Anybody else see that USP AEP (they say "AEG") on that link that CountDoom gave? The trademarks are abysmal, but it does have a "metal gearbox". The socom style silencer looks like its 3/4 scale or something. Link Is that a wall charger? Anyone have experience with these? Also, that M16A3 is only $74! Good base gun for an SR kit or something............ Link to post Share on other sites

davecymru Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 Zentaurus--does your BE AUG have the plastic outer barrel and (originally) the plastic inner barrel? Steve <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For you and the other guy asking about the BE Augs: http://www.arniesairsoft.co.uk/forums/inde...ST&f=40&t=80751 I wrote the topic as i figured things out about the gun, so some of the later posts make up for slight mistakes in the first few posts (i.e. the mark designations and strip down capabilities i figured out as i went) , so it's worth sticking with the thread, as it is only 2 pages! I also added an update after i took it skirmishing that may be of interest to those who are thinking of getting one of these to use in anger, rather than just listening to rumour and "a bloke told me" type reviews from people who've never used/owned one!

Docv400 Posted January 19, 2007 Report Share Posted January 19, 2007 More around 440fps, actually. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 1j = 328fps (with .2g BB), so 1.9j = 1.9 X 328 = 623 yes? It's a simple weight X velocity = energy sum isn't it? It's not an exponential thing is it? Maths was not my strongest subject... Link to post Share on other sites

cire Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Now, should I go about purchasing it from an American retailer, or should I order from HK? WGC shop has it for $65 (so probably about $95 to my door next day). Also, what thread type should I get if I were to install a silencer? And, even with modification, would a 9.6v be wise? The PDW stock battery mod is very tempting. Another question: how would I go about installing a flashlight even when I'm using the top rail for a red dot? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 If they used the Cyma MP5 front end, it's a standard 14mm CCW. Link to post Share on other sites

A 9.6v would not be wise - the modification is irritatingly difficult and the fact that you are limited to 200 rounds in a hicap means very short bursts. Flashlight? Duct Tape.

KUNFUCHOPSTICKS Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 i'll tell you: A&K M4 S system at around 300fps for 2000+ rounds now and still good as new. great gun very high quailty. although rails seems to be cheapy pot metal. Link to post Share on other sites
