TEST FIRING:
Well I filled the magazine up half way and wound it up. I took the gun outside, slapped the magazine......
Fixed :p

I picked up one at the local gunshop
in town and was suprised at how well
it has held up. I got it as a back up loaner and
now have put through it about 3000 rds
and its FPS is not to bad about 280to 300
with.20s.I have used it at two games now.
(one 4hr day and one 7hr day)

Just to clear it up, these are CYMA rebrands and as such are 1000% TM compatible, mechbox to buttstock.

Don't CYMA guns use thier own hopups and inner barrels?

Yes, but I think that entire hopup unit can be replaced so regular inner barrels can be used.

I heard the very latest batches are FULLY TM compatable, including new hopup and barrel assembly.

The only gripe I have is that there's quite a few burrs on the grips and my outerbarrel is a bit loose towards the right. Both easily fixed but I am really scared of the dreaded Armalite esqe barrel wobbel.

ColtFarmer June 20th, 2007 09:33

the AK front sight wobble is actually less pronounced on the aftermath I find, the hole in the front sight is straight and not an oval shape like on the marui,

I have yet to recieve a TM AK used or new that did not need tightening there.

The grips are not the greatest quality out of the box, hence the painting and sanding of mine, took about 1 hour with crappy scraps of sandpaper (all I could find lol)

The outer barrel is seated so far inside the front sight block as to make wobble almost impossible.

As an aside i'm ordering a KA metal body for mine from the next Airsoftparts.ca KA pre-order =)

How much is the metal body kit as I would like one for mine as well but cant find anyplace that sells it.

As for the handgrips on mine they aren't the best quality but there were no burs on mine and no barrel wobble at all.

Jugglez carries the DTP receivers for only $95 or so.

When you tighten up your site put some locktite around the seam where the barrel meets the sight group. tigthen it up and ensure it is straight with your rear sight and barrel, because it will stay that way.

Works great and mine has not become lose or moved since.
Nice easy trick

Just picked up a new cronie today and the
AEG now shows at a steady 360fps 50fps
faster than my stock CA M15vn or
70 fps faster than my stock TM M16vn.
And in the manual it states if a new hop up
packing is needed use Tokyo Marui parts.
