[QUOTE=facepuke;21021733]NEVER BUY ECHO 1 THEY ARE OVERPRICED FOR BEING REBRANDED CLONES.

[QUOTE=Skwee;21021876]Arg, that gun completely slipped my mind.. I saw it a few days ago but disregarded it because it had the PEQ box and the A4 was out of stock.. If anyone knows where I could get the A4 that would be great, but if they are sold out everywhere I supposed I could just get the A5. (Or maybe I could wait until they come in stock again, depending on how long of a wait that would be.) [editline]03:11PM[/editline] I have no clue how to change springs.. Erhm.. Where are the springs even located.. That one doesn't have an RIS either though..[/QUOTE] [url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=139_24_107&products_id=4633[/url] To change the spring take out the two body pins pull off the spring put the new one on. [editline]10:14PM[/editline] [QUOTE=DarkSamus;21021925]A friend of mine has an JG g36 that he loves, i've played a game with it and performs real well.[/QUOTE] It's a JG g36 rebranded.
[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ArnX6KUnA[/media] Doesn't sound like his at all. Although I will admit they look really similar.
[QUOTE=DarkSamus;21019987]If I remember correctly, the real SCAR's receivers don't match either.[/QUOTE] They are, but these are two totally different colors of tan, whereas RS Scars are only a tad bit darker on the top.

The main reason he got the two receivers though was so he could have a backup if one breaks.

[QUOTE=facepuke;21022660][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJOhdyPbOWk[/media][/QUOTE] Again, buy an Echo1 if the original gun is out of stock, which in most cases it will be.
[QUOTE=Kawaii;21022778]Again, buy an Echo1 if the original gun is out of stock, which in most cases it will be.[/QUOTE] I can go with this, But if the original is in stock get it.

Then remove the motor and any pins keeping the gearbox into the body. Slide the gearbox out of the body. There may be some gears on the outside of the gearbox, if there are then take them off. Unscrew the gearbox and remove the spring. Put your new spring in and screw it back together. Put everything back together and you have swapped out a spring. Doesn't sound too friendly to a noob does it? [editline]06:59PM[/editline] [QUOTE=facepuke;21022794]I can go with this, But if the original is in stock get it.[/QUOTE] That is what I am saying. Echo1 is some company who rebrands Chinese guns and tries to get twice the money off of them with a shitty warranty and claiming their made in the USA. Why would I like these guys?
Main question: Is the G&G going to be better than the Echo 1
Should be.
[QUOTE=Skwee;21022853]Main question: Is the G&G going to be better than the Echo 1[/QUOTE] Yes. Even G&G's plastic bodied guns are better.
[QUOTE=facepuke;21022880]Yes.[/QUOTE] Yes we get it, the G36c that Echo 1 sells is a JG re-branded. You can stop editing people's quotes now. And yes, G&G makes better guns, but really I would recommend going out and seeing if you like CQB or Field more before choosing a gun.
STAR SCAR's are crap. My friend has one and is always having problems. CA makes really nice SCAR's.
[QUOTE=facepuke;21022880]Yes. Even G&G's plastic bodied guns are better.[/QUOTE] Their plastic bodies are phenomenal. They look metal and feel like metal too.

Also, what's a good G3 originated weapon (Except the MP5) or SIG (Cept the 552) that's under 200 bux?

[QUOTE=zombiefreak;21024355]What about 550?[/QUOTE] ICS, JG, G&G are the only good companies that makes SIGs. [url=http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_44_218&products_id=32094]G&G 550[/url] [url=http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?products_id=30441]ICS 551[/url] [url=http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?products_id=31015]Crappy Cybergun 551[/url] Don't know about the G&G 550, but you'd have to upgrade the shit out of the ICS and Cybergun 551s. On top of that, the SIG is a bitch to take apart (I would know) and the gearbox is proprietary to SIG rifles. Oh and JG makes a good 552 from what I've heard, but guess that's out of the question.
I haven't really seen any reviews for the retractable stock version of the PM5 A5.. Is this because it is new, or is it because it sucks
Would it be better to save up for an Eco tech sight, or a magnifying scope for my M4? I can't stand iron sights. Wait, nevermind. Doing CQB with a 4x scope would look stupid.
[QUOTE=milkandcooki;21026730]Would it be better to save up for an Eco tech sight, or a magnifying scope for my M4? I can't stand iron sights.[/QUOTE] You can't go wrong with ecotech sights.
EOTech people, not Eco Tech, lets try to get it right. Eco Tech sounds like some environmentally friendly sight.

Okay, where can I find a tan M4 handguard that fits on an Echo1/JG M4? Like this, except tan [img]http://www.airsoftpost.com/images/large/Parts_E1_MulHG_lg.jpg[/img]
