Once again, I am finding myself looking for a new AEG. My wife got herself a CA36, with two mags, all for $120 shipped. Not bad.
Now I am looking for a good AEG. Ideally, it would be a CA SAR41 ES (G3A4), however, this being unavailable, I am considering another AEG. I already have an AK, the AK that I truly want (CM048SU LONG) is unavailable in USA, much like CYMA CM052 RPK which is also unavailable.
A) M16. Yes, I know, I know. KWA is Don\'t use the Lord\'s name in vain. of all it surveys. Now, if someone would give me $315, I would buy it. But I am operating on no more then $200 budget. After debacle with G&G $355 M14 veteran, I will NEVER buy another G&G product, so please, do not suggest it. In this budget there are following AEGs:
1. AGM M16 A4
2. A&K M16 A4 SPR
3. A&K L300 LONG
4. JG M16A3 Enchanced
5. DBOY M16A4
What I am looking for is sturdy externals (metal or plastic, don't matter much) and upgradable INTERNALS (which means MOTOR, Gearbox and Gears). Which one of these is the best? No matter what I get, they are getting a madbull tightbore:-)
B) My other choice is ARMY R85. I have a weakness for bullpups, besides, R85 looks a lot like Russian OTs-14 Groza. I know that the R85 gearbox itself is a beast. What about motor/Gears. What parts do I need to repair/upgrade it? Is it worth getting? What piston/piston head, cylinder/cyllinder head does it use? What gears? I heard everything is pretty much mix and match.
Any data on it?
Thank you
