king arms has second. It provides both hardness of firefly and air seal of nineball
[QUOTE=xXEnder007Xx;19448690]Well if you're sniping, why don't you get the JG BAR 10 with the scope? Seems kind of pointless to get all that stuff if you got nothing to aim with.[/QUOTE]
Well, I already have the camo and the scope, just putting the rifle. Yes I know I will need a scope mount.
I don't recall those JG BAR 10 scope mounts being sold separately very often if at all. Plus there is that chance that a VSR 10 rail may not line up just right. Why risk it.
BAR10 scope mount spareparts are non-existent atm after china raids
Please recommend me good AKM. I want full steel, with real wood parts and regular (non-folding) stock.
Shipping to Europe required!
Kalash/DBoys makes a AKM I'm pretty sure and they're full steel although I'm not sure if its compatible with real steel parts.
I'm looking for a $160-200 with an FPS that will get 365 or lower with a .25 (CQB limits at nearby field :/)
Preferably something with a full stock, or at least a good sized battery cavity.
I don't trust myself to choose guns anymore. They always break (I've tried spending more before, so don't say it's because I'm too cheap). :(
Performance isn't vital, but durability of inside parts is (outside can be plastic).
Sorry to put constraints, but I think they're broad enough that it still fits enough guns.

Please post more suggestions on this post.

This site doesn't ship to Europe (i think) but it should give you some ideas of some guns to look out for.
There are of course [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=3691]two[/url] [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5151]CYMA AKMs[/url] which are full metal and full wood.
There is also [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=5331]one Echo 1 AKM[/url] which is full metal and full wood.
I can recommend the second AKM (CM048M) more than the other AKMs shown. This is all I could really find with that description. You would still have to find these models on a different website because I really don't think that AirsoftGI ships to Europe.

And of course there's this, however i have yet to find the AKM model, they do make great AKs though.

Buy a scar then downgrade the spring.
The Dboy/agm full metal ones are around 180$
large battery area and it looks nice.

Yes...no?
Pretty close to what you'd need if you want all that out of the box.

Semi, large battery area, a mini 9.6v at most with the stock retracted one position.

Limited to a 8.4v larger battery, but a large to small adapter will allow you to use any sized mini battery.
Plastic body G3 handguards tend to creak (TM specifically), but they're great rifles to play with. There's just something awesome about the G3.
Where can I get some good low-midcap G36C mags for not too expensive? My friend gave me some money to buy him some.
why not buy some cheap mid-caps?
They prob. cost about the same and hold more.

2 MAG, 100rd low caps.
[U]or[/U]
[url]http://www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=23_56_442&products_id=30090[/url]
2 ICS 380rd Hi-cap (much more expensive)
I like the idea of lowcaps and their feeding better + not having any rattle, but I'm wondering if having 200rds (and possibly 1-2 JG hicaps, but I don't like them very much) would be enough.

100rds isn't a low cap?
that is a mid cap.
And MAG, mags are a cheaper standard mag, ICS is a higher brand, your point is invalid anyway.
100 rounds is not a low cap, that is a midcap, and MAG makes fantastic mags.
[b]Edit:[/b]
fuck.
Eh sorry, it had a low capacity in my opinion, so I called it a low cap. I realize it's a midcap. MAG it is.

Thanks, I'll get him these. But should I order from this website? Because Airsoft GI has the same mags. Is this website any good? Never ordered from here before.
Evike (airsoft post) has a 15% off deal going on right now, and ASGI's just ended. Evike is my second favourite airsoft site so yeah, they're good.

And whoa whoa whoa, those aren't G36 mags. Those are SiG mags, for me. My post was unrelated to yours, sorry.
Evike!
Noooooooooooooooooooooo!

Oh, I mistaked them for these:
[url]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=60_112_276&products_id=63[/url]
I dunno if I should get these because the reviews aren't so good...
MAG is a good brand for them, i got my m4 midcaps from them, work really well. The only thing is that they are made of cheap plastic, so they feel really flimsy.
I like the G3 you guys recommended. Just one question: one of [url=http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=808]these[/url] or something similar is the only way to get normal scopes, holo sights and other stuff onto it?
Because my dad's giving me his old $100+ aimpoint (for his real gun) and replacing it with a EOTech Holo (which he'll probably let me use a lot). I also have 3 or 4 assorted scopes.
Long story short, I'd really like to be able to use scopes and sights, and if I get the G3, I'll get this as well. The order would then be $170+, at that price would you recommend something else?
Yup that's all you need to get a scope on the G3/MP5 series of guns. I tend to prefer the low profile mounts myself though for red dots and holo sights. The high profile ones such as the one you linked to are only really needed if you're using a scope. I have the G&G version for my CA MP5 and it works great on there for my EOTech clone.
Don't mind the low review scores, it's just a bunch of bitchy kids saying ooh it's too expensive for such a little thing. Obviously they have no idea how these things are made and the number of operations it takes to cut one of these.
[URL]http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?cPath=36_252&products_id=693[/URL]
I like using the ironsights from time to time though, so the high Profile is good for me. Plus I like the option of putting a scope on (Oh god, with the high profile one, I could put [B]3[/B] scopes on! So much cooler than dual wielding)

Thanks for post.
Is that CM048M AKM absolutely perfect gun for newbie? Is it good for and internal and external upgrades? What's the downsides?
Btw if someone have some free time, please search sellers that ship to Europe :)
