It seems the site I ordered the G&G SR25 from (for my DMR build) had a faulty inventory status as it just turned out they were actually sold out. While on the phone with them, they said I would be much better off with an M110 style rifle instead due to it's larger stock, and me planning to use a NimH battery. Are they different or is it the same gun in another "shell"? I mean they're not wrong, it would be much more practical that trying to fit a battery in the APC variant with a CTR stock (since I'm not a fan of crane stocks, be it shooting comfort or looks) my concern is that the stock is not adjustable, I don't know how much or how little of a problem this might be. I'm thinking about building the DMR with the classic version instead. Here is what it would look like (hopefully):

The reason I am asking this is that I'd much prefer a NiMH Battery as they can be stored fully charged. I am also completely new to AEG Systems and I don't feel comfortable around LiPo Batteries at the moment, especially as I have seen one go up in flames once. I run my rifles with the stock fully extended.

Huh. Fair enough

Fair, I've actually seen this, but I don't think anyone else makes the E2 variant - And besides, I've already ordered the base gun by now. I don't really mind replacing parts, the things that matter to me are that the gearbox can be shimmed and that the trigger response is decent. I might ask a friend to put a custom V3 Gearbox in it eventually (because if i try to do that myself something is going to go wrong very quickly as I have never worked with AEGs and don't want to attempt the really complicated stuff)

It ain't too interesting but I thought I'd share it anyways. This is the concept art for an upcoming build. The paints planned for use are all FOSCO Brand; Desert RAL 1019, Coyote Brown, Brittish Service Brown and Dark Brown.

Fair

It doesn't have to be quiet as a sneaker wearing sneakers, I mainly want to get rid of as much of the motor whine as possible to have it go "POP" rather than "VZZT" I've ran a HPA belonging to a friend long ago, I'm not really a fan of hauling around the air tank, so I'd rather stick with AEG.

I've always been looking for realism but in the end, a gas gun simply isn't reliable as a DMR in a country with a cold climate due to the inconsistent FPS. I therefore look switch from GBBR to build an AEG-based variant instead. The picture shows a concept of how I want the gun, a G&G Knight's Armament SR25 E2 APC M-LOK, to look when the build is finished. I have never worked with AEGs before other than switching from a plastic to a metal receiver on a CYMA AK, so I have absolutely no idea what I am doing and I wish to not ruin a brand new 600€ Rifle - Yes, That is it's cheapest price where I live. I'm looking to make the gearbox as quiet as possible with a quick trigger response and clocking the FPS around 425. People I have talked to mention "Gearbox Shimming". I have no idea how this is done or how hard it is. Finally, Since I'll be running a CTR Stock I wish to know if there are Ni-MH batteries that are small enough to fit in the buffer tube as I'd prefer Ni-MH over LiPo due to their ability to be stored with 100% Charge. If I need to use a LiPo battery after all I would like some tips on safety because I clearly remember the day a teammate's stock suddenly turned into a smoke grenade and then proceeded to be on fire for the following 2 minutes.

Thought I'd give it a try. The gun is cerakoted in Midnight Blue with some details in Tungsten, then clear coated with cerakote high gloss clear. It's been used as a movie prop so it has some wear on it. Cerakoting by iKote Sweden
