[poll]Preupgraded or Stock?

I just wanted to know how many people would buy a gun preupgraded or how many people would buy a gun not preupgraded.

I think you got a pretty good poll here BUT I vote for it to be moved to another b/c I think it has implications in more than just gas guns. Do you agree?

My answer (If I could speak about an AEG) is not preupgraded aka stock. I would rather upgrade it myself than have somebody else do it for me. There is absolutely nothing wrong with buying a preupgraded gun, but personally I would feel much more accomplished if I did it myself... I just hope I can do a good job when I start upgrading my M4... I already have, but I wouldn't have done very well at all without the help of ACE.
That being said I know ADMIN's CA8 is kick butt. I really think that guns got it all and he bought it like that. He had a couple of upgrades to it and I am not so sure if I would ever want to change it now.

I assume when you say pre-upgraded you are speaking of mechbox internals (I.E. NOT barrels, cosmetics, etc...).

For beginners and players that dont want to risk damaging a replica: I vote buy pre-upgraded. If you are interested in this, check out this website as they do fantastic work: www.precisionairsoft.net
*It is also nice knowing that what you are buying should work great and should outperform the "stock" version in just about every category.

If you have experience upgrading replica's, you might as well do everything at once so you dont have to open your mechbox again for a while. I assume you are new to the game, therefore I would choose the first one as you dont want to mess up your only replica before you play with it by opening it up and being overwhelmed.

Just my 2 cents.

No im not new i've been playing for a while. i found a gun i wanted;the KJW M700;and i want to do a poll on how many would buy their gun preupgraded. now i have another question, would u buy this gun preupgraded? and if i could, would it be worth it?

what upgrades did the person do to the gun, and what price is he trying to sell it for?

how long have you been playing competitive(not backyard), just wonderin

sticks

Well sticks.13, I have no team to play with, so i've only been able to play back yard.I have been playing backyard airsoft for about 2 years. Well i also have bad news and some good news, bad news is, i'm not allowed to buy a gas gun. the good news is i am going to buy the vsr-10 instead. So that means no kjw m700 for me.

In that case, I would suggest looking at JG Bar 10, which is basically an exact copy of the TM VSR 10... just half the price.
Put the money you were going to spend into a tightbore barrel and do the custom mods that I made a tutorial about on this forum. You will get good results with it. Use high quality BB's such as: KSC .30 BB's.
If you want to go for the over 500 FPS mark, you will have to buy a Laylax Zero Trigger kit for it. Which is pricey, but it will handle the power of a stronger spring. You will then want to add a stiff spring of your choice, metal spring guide, and possibly a new cylinder.

I am happy with the way mine is shooting right now and it out ranges just about any replica I have come up against so far. If you have any questions, just PM me.

Here is a link for the JG Bar 10:
Regular Bar 10: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_113&products_id=2493
G-Spec Bar 10: http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_113&products_id=2790
-The Regular model has a longer inner barrel, but the G-Spec has a mock surpressor that can be modified to actually function quite well... see my post as mentioned above.

I would definitely try to upgrade an AEG myself, like roamer said, i'd feel a lot more accomplished. But i guess for me it really depends on the gun as well, and how it works (AEG, Gas, Spring..) etc. etc. If i had no idea how to upgrade it then i would go for a pre-upgrade then.

I said stock so i can get the upgrades that i want

Well, im sure once im more knowledgeable, id say stock, but right now im going to say pre upgraded. As of now, i don't know much about the internals and such of guns...id be afraid to open it up and potentially mess it up. Im one of those people that have no luck when taking things apart and putting them back together right.

yeah id recomend that. just do some research on you gun and see what some people hav. See if its good or if they like it.

definately depeneds on the gun

I voted Stock, hate having to fix other peoples mistakes before i can start making the changes I want.

I voted preupgraded since I am relatively new to airsoft and would rather not screw it up. However I did do my research to make sure the company that was doing it was reputable and I also made sure they use good parts. In the end I decided to buy my AEG from airsoft extreme and I should get in the next few days ^^

It can go any way.

if you by pre-upgraded it costs more money and could be easier to by it stock then upgrade.
If you buy it stock and upgrade then you can see and know what you are putting into it.

I think that a good sniper or any good airsofter should know their gun inside out , so buy it stock then upgrade it yourself .

I would have gotten a preupgraded since I don't wanna mess up my gun(like Zane said).

Stock- I can choose the upgrades I want, tweak the internals how I want them, buy whta suits ME and don't have someone else installing it really half-arsed (often happens)
