    Classic Army vs CYMA M14's

    So, I recently bought a used but A1 condition Classic Army M14. My question is, are they any better than the CYMA equivalent? Reason is I am wondering if its worth selling it and buying a CYMA instead due to the difficulty and expense of magazines. The parts for CYMA based models also seem to...

    Classic Army M14 Low Power issue!

    Hi, So I received my CA M14 Match that I recently bought from a forum member. Rifle looks good as new with little to no marks on it, so don't expect it has been used much in its previous life. Getting it ready, I fitted some Deans connectors and plugged my battery in to shoot a few rounds and...

    7.4V vs 11.1V Lipo?

    I have had confirmation form ARES that the AM-013 can handle 11.1V lipo safely. I plan to get an 11.1V lipo to use with the rifle now that I also have the batter pack extension that clips onto the back allowing for longer batteries to be used. My question is now, what is better, a higher...

    Outer Barrel - ARES??

    Looking for some advice regarding outer barrels. I am modifying my Honey Badger with a ARES Octarms Keymod hand guard. My existing guard falls between the 10" and 12" options I can buy. This will mean either a lot more of my "Silencer" will show or it will be inside the hand guard (not good)...

    HOP, whats good and whats not?

    Looking to get a new hop unit for my ARES AM-013 (Honey Badger). I know it is possible to get a bit more distance and good accuracy from a good hop unit. Any hop units that can be recommended for the above? (I assume most standard AEG M4 units will fit/work) Thanks

    How many BB's do people lose when removing the magazine? When empty, I remove the mag and find 3 bb's drop out, having not fired and made their way out of the magazine. Not having much experience with a variety of AEG's, I only really have my Ares AM-013 to go by. More of a question of...

    TM VSR G-Spec

    So, I recently managed to get my hands on a 2nd hand TM VSR G-Spec completely stock. Doing some shooting in my back garden, I noticed the bb velocity seemed quite low. Speed was slow by the time it hit my target at the far side of the garden. (Around 20 meters). I plan on upgrading trigger etc...
