Hello,
I'd like to mention that I am from Poland, but polish forums appear to be long dead. Also the law might be different. We can shoot full auto with no need for orange bits.
I'd like to start my adventure with airsoft and would like to ask for your help in choosing my first replica. My budget is flexible. If a replica meets all the requirements, it doesn’t have to be at the upper limit, it can be cheaper.
I'm looking for a long-distance A4 or similar. Black or tan, or a mix of black/tan. Material should be metal or mostly metal. I want the replica to look really realistic, preferably with an adjustable stock. It should also be possible to buy affordable, decent magazines that hold around 150 BBs and don't rattle.
I’d like the replica to be one that can be easily modded, with parts that are readily available. Ideally, it should work well straight out of the box or after minor or major modifications but still within the budget. Also, the modifications shouldn’t be too complicated, or if the seller offers an installation service, like with Taiwangun, that’s an option.
I’d like it to be possible to quickly change the spring for close distance use, and for the replica to have a stock that can accommodate a decent battery. I've heard that some have limited space for this.
Here's an example of a replica that I like visually, though I'd prefer a longer barrel. (I haven’t even looked at the specifications): https://www.taiwangun.com/assault-rifle-green-gas/daniel-defense-ddpm4pdw-gbbr-replica-tan-emg
Here's an example of a deviation from the norm, an AK that I also like visually and apparently has good reviews as well: https://gunfire.com/pl/products/replika-karabinka-rk74-t-1152213401.html
In summary, ideally, I’d like to stay within 400-500 GBP, including 4 magazines, a BB loader, a spare battery, and a battery charger. I'm not sure if it’s better to buy something for more expensive and leave it as is, or buy something cheaper and spend the extra on upgrading parts.
Thanks in advance for your help!
