Hi and welcome

Welcome AirsoftRich, Do a few searches on the forum about first gun. This question has come up a few times. CYMA, JG, G&G, Specna Arms do have some models that perform quite well out of the box and can be improved if you get into tinkering. It depends how much you want to spend up front and what your expectations are.

I just saw this one: https://www.patrolbase.co.uk/g-and-g-armament-gc16-intermediate-series-predator That's already more expensive than the Specna

Yep, always best if you can handle them first 👍

Both are good but I prefer the metal body of the Specna

I'd chose the Specna Only an idiot would buy that 😆

Yep, as said, the TM MWS is the go-to for best GBBR M4 platform and look at GHK for AKs.

Haia Where you from?

Fair enough

Welcome. I think that means you can add the BAW system. I have one and its amazing! I don't know where you can get it separately but it goes in the stock tube. The motor should be quite a good one as standard but you can always upgrade to something better. Are you running it on 7.4v LiPo? For the heavy recoil guns I would suggest 11.1v LiPo

Thanks for that but its not really much use unless you specify the site. Its only your opinion so you don't have to be worried about offending anyone.

Welcome SilverBugleSon. Hmm, not heard of a place that does Well bits. Maybe worth seeing if WE or TM parts might be compatible. Its worth £75 new so up to you how much you want to throw at it.

Yeah, its actually illegal for them to have sold it to you in that state.

Yep, as said, MK5 for throwing in woodland (only things you're allowed to throw anyway) I use a timed Dynatex for dropping in windows of structures and pick it up straight after it goes off.

They have a bad reputation because they sell a lot of really cheap plastic rubbish but if you know what you're buying and read all the details to make sure its the right thing then its a safe bet. Not sure if they still do it but when you make an account leave the item in your purchase basket for 24hrs and you may get a 7% discount code. EDIT: Doh, late reply 🙄😏

Great news! I altered my post above.

I'm happy with my SA-E03 👍 All metal and well put together. Shoots quite well in my opinion.

Welcome back mate 👍 Yeah, I expect some things have changed and non-hit takers haven't 😉 Would be interesting to hear both of your thoughts at some point.

Welcome back. That's quite a break. Some things will have changed and others not. I would guess that RIF's are cheaper and better performing than they used to be.

Yes, stock in general is very low at the moment.

Yep, as above. Several places I'm happy to purchase from. I'll add to the list with BespokeAirsoft. I've even purchased a few things including a rif from BBGuns4Less
