The A1 has arrived!!

Subject: The A1 has arrived!! Sat Oct 16, 2010 5:18 am

So, my struggle has come to an end, I finally got me a TM A1!! LRRP HERE I COME!!

I actually bought this from a Vietnam Vet, who currently Airsofts with all of his veteran buddies. He personally did up the magazines and rifle to look more realistic.
The tape is "To reduce shine, and creakiness". It is what he did with his rifle In-Country and it was done by many other men, including regular line infantry.
I got
X1 TM M16A1
X4 Vietnam-Short-Style Mid-Caps (one not pictured Embarassed

)
X6 Lo-Cap 30 rd. Mags (LRP's, as they were Special Forces, used these more often than reg. line soldiers.
X1 LRP Field Guide Manual.
AND some internal upgrades: Spring (360 FPS,) and re-shimmed. I think that's all he did...
EDIT: OHH and a TBB.

Trademarks (Haven't found a white crayon yet, NN2H)

Since I did buy this from a vet, he was nice enough to throw in an LRP field guide.

I LOVE the three-prong flash hider....

Sawed-Off M79
Shotgun bandolier with 34 shells

and more mags for my A1 and 40 mike-mikes for my 79.

Jealousy...rising...RRRRRAAAAAAGGGGGEEEEEE

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Sun Oct 17, 2010 2:38 pm

Dude, thats sweet!

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Sun Oct 17, 2010 2:59 pm

So ridiculously jealous... I can't even describe... Keep us posted on the formation of this loadout!

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Sun Oct 17, 2010 6:00 pm

So, I need some opinions here.
For some reason, my A1 shoots consistently to the right. The Iron sights are pretty useless when I adjust my hop up correctly as well.
It seems like my only option is to use one of my many Red Dot sights, which I know would work, but would diminish the Vietnam-Era look of my M16A1...which is the whole reason I bought it.

Any ideas or opinions people??

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Sun Oct 17, 2010 10:25 pm

New hop-up stuff. Bucking, spacer, barrel, etc etc... Or your barrel is misaligned, that has happened with me before. Take out the barrel from the hop-up and make sure the groove in the barrel matches up with the groove in the bucking.

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Mon Oct 18, 2010 3:41 am

THATS what I wanted to here, Drum!!
Yeah I knew about these problems, I just thought they were a rarity...but ya know it's definately worth the time. I'll do it.

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Mon Oct 18, 2010 11:18 am

No problem. Also try cleaning and lubing the inner barrel.

Most Prommy 03s are in stock at Evike, I got mine there with no problems.

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Tue Nov 02, 2010 8:52 pm

Oh there in-stock at ASGI; however I have SOOO MUCH that I need to buy ATM for this loadout, I'm just kinda scoping out really good deals on one that people themselves are selling; If one comes up, I'll take it. If not, I'll buy it off ASGI when the time is right.

Subject: Re: The A1 has arrived!! Tue Nov 02, 2010 9:38 pm
