TrooperX Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Not to sound like an *albatross*, but is that verified? If so, my chances of buying one just went up exponentially. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm pretty sure it (Galaxy MP5K) has a tightbore barrel too but do not have any digital calipers to check Link to post Share on other sites
cire Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Even so, the barrel is still a bit too short. Link to post Share on other sites

TrooperX Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Even so, the barrel is still a bit too short. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The range is actually pretty good for a short gun - mines doing 345fps which helps of course!! Link to post Share on other sites
cire Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Is that unmodded? And where did you buy it from? Maybe I should skip the silencer and ~240mm tightbore upgrade. Link to post Share on other sites
zentaurus Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 I'm pretty sure it (Galaxy MP5K) has a tightbore barrel too but do not have any digital calipers to check <{POST_SNAPBACK}> same here. i've had a bb stuck in one of my galaxies -- the only time, ever, this has happened to me (over a dozen clones and half a dozen pistols and even when using, sometimes, during initial testing at the store, the trash bbs that come with the boxes). tried the bb prod and it wouldn't go in although the ksc mk23 prod worked, but then that has a loose fit while the galaxy plastic prod is oversize. if this is so, then galaxy cloned the TM tb for the MP5K PDW. (it says so in the TM manual but i guess not too many people read or notice that ) and my rating for the galaxy mp5K pdw would go from 8.5/10 to 9.5/10 -- minus .5 for the bad metal part painting steve: sorry for this very late reply, i just got back to this thread today. my BE AUG mil has an aluminum barrel. what surprises me is the bit about the plastic (?) inner barrel. never happened, afaik, with 2nd or 3rd gen clones, only with the 1st gen boys gbox ones. if this was so for some units in the US, someone, maybe, is ripping people off? cire: stock out of the box! average is 330-340. and the cylinder is type 4 so you'll have to change to type 2 or type 3 if you lengthen the inner barrel. accurate enough for cqb, imo.

evilliboba Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 So in everyones opinion the Galaxy MP5K-PDW is a good gun? I can get one for $125 shipped to my door. I am contemplating the idea... Link to post Share on other sites
cire Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 You can get it for about $105 shipped via HK Express if ordered from WGC shop. Nitro Airsoft is still significantly more expensive than overseas. Link to post Share on other sites

Alakdan101 Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 JG wins the quality of all clones... stocks surpasses the forum limit with new arrival of JG M4 S-System... ~jojo~ Link to post Share on other sites
TrooperX Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Is that unmodded? And where did you buy it from? Maybe I should skip the silencer and ~240mm tightbore upgrade. Yes it is pushing out 345fps out of the box - I've done nothing except clean the barrel. I bought mine from http://www.rsov.com. In my opinion there is no better place to buy from at the moment - Keith who runs RSOV is a top bloke and his customer service is amazing even though he is several thousand miles away!! my rating for the galaxy mp5K pdw would go from 8.5/10 to 9.5/10 -- minus .5 for the bad metal part painting Ha ha - its so true. That metal is the only thing that slightly spoils this gun - but its bearable. So in everyones opinion the Galaxy MP5K-PDW is a good gun? Its a very good gun. We compared one side by side with a TM and the only real visual difference was the ###### paint on the metal of the Galaxy. The Galaxy has metal bushings (I'm sure someone posted they are 7mm) and we're pretty certain a tightbore barrel. JG wins the quality of all clones... Overall yes I have to agree although there are a few others that are pretty special too - the Galaxy MP5K and the AGM MP40 (beautifully made!) spring to mind Link to post Share on other sites

(cylinder changed to type 2 or 3 if need be <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a JG G36 showing up tomorrow via UPS and I'm pleased to see JG is getting painted so well in this thread--I've read a few reviews for the G36, and it sounds really pretty outstanding. Considering it cost me 85 bucks shipped--if its as good as people claim it is, it should redefine my already high impression of chinese made airsoft. I might as well ask this here, but just for the 18 hours or so the knowledge will be relevant (until I get mine, that is) can someone confirm that the sight/scope rail on the JG G36 is indeed metal? I read "everything as clone of TM" on most retailers, but skepticism generally should be enforced with dealer claims... Steve Link to post Share on other sites

NegativeCambre Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Where did you get it for that price? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> point act wholesaler. It was bunched together with a CM028... they require a 150 dollar minimum purchase, but if you go in with a friend, its extremely cost-effective. Shipping was extremely reasonable too... 13 dollars UPS from Utah to California, they were quick to ship out the order too. It will have been 6 days from purchase to here.

One metal part awry would not have really changed my impression of the gun when I get it later today, but it may have been indicative to other compositional departures... glad to see its not!

MetalGecko Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 You know, I have this burning desire to buy a Chinese gun, for the heck of it. But I know that if or when I buy one, it won't even be worth the box it comes in. Maybe I'm over exaggerating, maybe I've read too many rumors, may I have it all wrong, but I'd rather drop 300USD on a gun that I *know* will work, than 100USD on what could possibly be a piece of junk. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm seriously offended by that statement. I have a Echo 1 MP5A5 and it works very well. I can do 300 fps and it holds up rather well on the field. Plus, it was only $115 USD! Link to post Share on other sites

MetalGecko: i'm with you there. Alcareru: might have been true with the 1st and 2nd gen clones, not so with the current 3rd gen. i'd be more than ready to match any of my clones with any of your high-enders in a skimish, woodland or urban cqb. with $200 worth of upgrades on my $100 clone, ur $300 original will be severely outperformed except on looks, maybe -- if i did not take the time to custom-paint it rumors are very easy to propagate, but very hard to substantiate suggest you talk to those who really know. there are many now, even in your part of the world zt Link to post Share on other sites
abgolden Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 i think UTG is starting to come out with some good stuff i think that well is ok the only guns i like of them are the R-6 and R-7 O and i like A&K too it seems like the lower cost AEG's are getting better.

aznsk8s87 Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 o_O what are you talking about... WELL's guns are horrible... their MP7 was half decent but it still isn't up to the same standard as AGM and JG. Link to post Share on other sites

The WELL R6 and R7 are horrid compared to JG M-series guns. It is like saying a KWC springer is better than a CA AEG. Link to post Share on other sites
