If you want to make a loadout i can help you.
Kalash makes nice AK's. VFC makes better but they cost much more.
Kalash/Dboys, Only buy the steel series now, There pot metal stocks can break. And the steel has slightly better internals VFC - God like but prioperty gearbox last time i heard. So if it cracks, Its gone.

I was about to make my own thread but decided against. I went to a local military surplus store today. I bought a bunch of other random odds and ends, but one thing I looked at were boots. They had quite the selection, I think they were all new. About 15 kinds of boots. I tried a $25 pair on, it was shite. Tried a $50 pair on, better but still bad. Gave up on the store as far as boots were concerned, seeing as the $90 pair I tried on was still sub-par. Where should I go for boots and if possible could someone recommend me what exactly I should be getting.
What color/material? I adore my Bates M-9s. I have about 5 pairs of boots by the way, don't skimp out on footwear, or socks.
I just found whatever boots I had lying around. I use my dark blue aprés ski boots from time to time.
Black preferably, can't see why a boot wouldn't come in black though. As for material, I don't know.
well for my job where 8inch boots are required I bought a pair of Bates 8" Tacticals with a side zipper. If you play in an urban setting or something similar then these would be great. Socks wise? Thorlos.
I use good old Vietnam combat boots. They are great even over long games and keep out most of the moisture. The only downside to them is that they don't have ankle protection so you can roll your ankle.
well there are the $20 knock off jungle boots and actual jungle boots, which run around $80-$90

I know where to buy them too.
I would honestly rather wear running shoes than those, they get better traction, no blisters, and better soles.

KWA makes a few RIS with crane stock models. Keep in mind flip up sights can always be purchased later and are often cheaper than buying a new rail system, so I'd recommend looking for a model that has the RIS that fits you.

I changed my mind. Sorry Ender, looking at the P90 models now. [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=284_338&products_id=6163]How does this look?[/url] I would use the extended inner barrel, might even buy an 6.01 inner while I'm at AEX (If I do get it).

I had the same P90 model, just the TM version. Works great and feels great, but the hicaps are a let down. When they work, they're awesome. 300rds with no winding in between. But after a few months they start to wear down and jam more often, even the newer ones. It got to the point where I was fighting my hicaps more than shooting people, so I traded mine.

Ok so here is the just of my ideas as of late. I have a JG Sig 552 its a good gun for me works like I want it to. I just wish it had a bit more range. What I had planned on doing was adding a bigger tightbore barrel and covering it with a silencer then adding a upgraded hopup bucking. Now either I am doing that or getting a JG G3. And I could careless about how a 500$ airsoft gun is OMGMUCH BETTAR than a 150$ gun but: A.) I dont abuse my guns and I dont throw them around so alittle plastic on the gun will not break in my hands. B.) I am a college student so I dont exactly have 500$ to spend on a gun that does a marginal difference and has more metal on it. So should I go ahead and put the tb on the sig or just go ahead and get a JG G3?
A tightbore won't make a huge difference, it will give you a bit more range and a bit more accuracy but if you really want good range go for the G3.
[url=http://www.airsoftgiforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1881]Heres[/url] a pretty good list on barrel lengths and general guidelines about barrels.
Go with a tightbore and a firefly hop-up bucking, or a systema bucking with an H-Nub. Both should get you better accuracy. Just avoid Systema tightbores, they suck and the coating inside of the barrel flakes off easily. Madbull tightbores, hmm hard to say. I just bought one and put it in my CA M15 URX, but so far I haven't seen any drastic improvements in accuracy over the shorter stock barrel it came with. I'll let everyone know after this Saturday's game. But you may consider the G3 as well. I always like having a back up gun with me in case the first one dies or seizes up and is not fixable with the tools I have on the field. Not only that, but you can bring a friend along too and give them a gun to use. Your call.
Prometheus and KM make sick(good) barrels.
I finally got back my M14 today. And I am even more torn between upgrading it and not. My friends say a more powerful spring will destroy internals and I would have to upgrade them, and some other people say it won't. If I get heavier BB's, will it DECREASE the range and increase the accuracy, or does it increase both?
Double post
If you upgrade the spring it's likely you'll need to upgrade other parts (someone else fill in on which parts exactly. It depends on the gun and how the internals were stock, but more likely than not you will need to. If you get heavier BBs: Lowers FPS. Greater impact (a 400 FPS .2 will hurt less than a 400 FPS .3). Better accuracy in general, but will also be less affected by wind. What kind of camo is this? [IMG]http://i47.tinypic.com/29et6io.jpg[/IMG]
I want to say Flecktarn but I'm incorrect.
Its polish iirc

Upgrading your gun increases the chances of something failing in some cases, parts don't work or don't like other parts, you put it back together wrong, you break something and didn't notice, etc. And for the BB's it will decrease the range but accuracy will improve.
Yeah I guess I'll leave it alone. Save my money for a rail so I can actually use a scope thanks guys
