as others have mentioned it's important to be clear on what the budget includes. is it £300 for just the gat, or gat, mags, batteries, charger, bag of bb's, eyepro, webbing etc is gonna make a massive difference to what's an appropriate recommendation for us to make. the other kit you have can be just as important/useful as your pew, for example if you're lacking a really good pair of boots and want to play outdoors then investing £100+ in a good solid pair is going to do more for increasing your in-game enjoyment than the same amount spent on a pew.

Oh yeah that'll be fine with the regular gas tube. It may still require filing to fit, but thats the ak life....

Which version? Most of the ak lower handguard systems tend to be setup that you can run a standard upper handguard.

pretty sure the one on here with the custom fitted f2 only sold for 600, so 500 for the standard aeg version is absolutely a bargain....... i mean f2's are worth £100 secondhand right?

well apart from the gearbox being the aforementioned couple of screws the barrel pops out with the same quick release mechanism as the real m60 (kinda nifty tbh) which gives you access to the hop unit. that's pretty much all you need to service/tinker with the gun, after that it's a case of just unscrewing things as and when you see them. been a while since i tinkered with an m60 so can't really help with much more specific than that.

how far do you want to go? if it's just pulling the gearbox out it's only a couple of screws in the side of the reciever

that's a thing? from what little night time shenanigans i've done with my old gen 1 the only thing that seems to show up under IR is eyeballs and other people putting out IR can't say i noticed camo/skin/guns etc being any shinier than the rest of the environment

in fairness that's just ky airsoft for you. i ended up cancelling part of an order because they hadn't sent it despite being re-stocked and available on their website (this is several months after the initial order and before covid kicked off), then then tried to trick the paypal case with the old "close the case and we'll refund you" (when paypal explicitly states doing that will mean you can't re-open if they renege on their promise) they then haggled over the postage cost, which i'd estimated using their own website for the parts in the order. eventually paypal stepped in and gave me my money back (which is why we love paypal) but i'll be trying to avoid them where possible from now on. shame because they are the only stockists for a lot of the more niche WE spares.

it's standard for ups, they pulled it on me for an f2000 hop unit......

in soviet democratic russia the trains post runs on time

assuming it feeds, can't think why it wouldn't if it's running ok on lighter.

agree on magnification, absolutely unnessecary for getting a hit, but very useful for target identification and shot-tracking (unlike real steel we can't rely on dirt splashes/target reactions). i tend to find when i ran a variable on the m4 that it sat at around 4x constantly and i'd be using the stacked dot for 99% of shots.

honestly a lot of it just falls down to personal preference. for example i'd suggest the fc1 as a not massively expensive but decent little red dot, low profile and not out of place on a carbine. but if you don't like the look of it then it's not for you, and there's nothing wrong with that. likewise some folk don't like mini rds's like rmr's on a rifle, again a personal preference thing.

they do have semi afaik

and when e&l aksu's were super cheap on gunfire, really shoulda jumped on that bandwagon as i need another krink in my life, as good as the jg shoots i can't hang my 3-tonne pbs4 off the end....

funny that was the summation i've been working with for a while. good shooters but the external strength and finish aren't up to a par with the likes of e&l. although in fairness they're not exactly priced to compete.

supposedly that's that the likes of the 045 come with according to tg: https://www.taiwangun.com/assault-rifle-aeg/cm-045-cyma although there's steel and there's steel ofc.

fair enough, although i must confess to being curious about their newer ak's now they're steel recievers.

i'm assuming you're running a macaron or equivalent so the answer is i'd be surprised if it didnt.

well there's the cm045 which whilst not "tactical" is the kind of thing i'd suggest. edit: there's the 45a which is classic, the 045c is railed up and equivalents including the heretic edition for full length. tbh any of the metal bodied cyma ak range should be decent enough.

A man of taste and refinement

it's worth noting that whilst there is a subset of players who dislike "noobs" (and those players are assholes) most players don't give a damn if your gun is 2-toned. we all know it's a necessary evil and as long as it's not been done to anything particularly rare/nice you're not gonna be judged for it.

is that a fill port i see in the magazine? is that a fill port i see in the magazine?

i've never seen one before but i'm guessing it's a thread derailment
