THE CHIEF

Just wow. How is that channel still up 😳

The only thing that really interested me was the magazine system. The ca microgun takes a moment to reload down the centre A quick change magazine is handy. To me given the shape, it's begging to be under mounted on a full size minigun.

One thing to consider though... If they are producing another run of the original M60, they normally have a rather comprehensive range of spares. So if you wanted a proper hanger bracket and trigger group for the A&K it may be available. Not cheap, but cheaper than buying a full gun!

The LCT box mags on the original is rather lacking. It's basically an M16 hicap with an electric winder. The gun is beautiful and perfect for living history groups or vehicle decoration. It shoots like any other AEG. The simple fact is the A&K will out shoot it and keep chugging along for thousands of rounds. The LCT needs more of a bust as the magazine can't really keep up. So will I be picking up an long E3? Probably yes because it will plug a historical gap and will look fantastic. Would I buy one as the best option for a support gun? Nope. Although I hate the fact the E3 is now considered a historical gun. Shit I'm getting old.

And there is the great irony of airsoft. Offer the army a gun the weighs next to nothing, has no recoil and has miracle 450 round magazines. You wouldn't be able to build them fast enough!

I'm sure the hop unit is a one piece due to how the receiver slides apart. The TM equivalent at the time had a two piece and lugs that would snap easily. The CA has two metal pins along the top and the front receiver pin hold the two halves together.

I went for the A2 carbine I'm trying to think, as it was pre magic cqbr gearbox would that still have the 6mm bearings?

Ha! Tactical carbine! That was my brothers first gun about 20 years ago as you say. It's a nice gun but a 20 year old armalite is not especially valuable as things have moved on. The receiver will still have the two little pins in the top to keep it aligned and such. Around £120ish The MP5 though, if that's the B&T model with the hop behind the ejection port... That might be quite desirable. About £150ish That old claw mount on it is desirable as well, especially with LCT and VFC making vintage H&K rifs. You'd probably get £40 for the mount. nice rifs but not especially valuable

Given the money people spend on retro receivers and the VFC line, you would think a fixed carry handle model would be in the works. Particularly as they have the 20 round mag and AKM for bad guy guns.

On mine I noticed a bit of flash on the hop rubber. I removed it (it just pulls off) and cleaned it up. Now it shoots as well as any WE pistol on a .25 with a very surprising range! I also picked up a threaded barrel from KY Airsoft so you can fit a tracer or small suppressor. It's probably shot more ammo being passed around at the start of games than by me.

Ahhh, but you see this is the basic bitch model made with plastic. Soooo yey?

Actually it's shooting fine, I'm not worried about the mechanism. It's more the actual body assembly for things like O rings and screws I was after. I have a few different 60's and the TOP scores big in one area, no box mag for that ammosexual look 😂

Hello peeps. I have an old lady acquired recently in the shape of a TOP M60 STD. Its a collection of minor faults that can all be easily sorted with a couple of exceptions. Would anyone have an old manual or exploded diagram in a box somewhere?

Ha! I would assume the training is still the same with people practicing a log roll if absolutely necessary. Basic first aid kit for game days with a couple of personal augmentations. Like some Mr Bump plasters for people particularly being a pussy.
