Comprehensive Ares AW .338 spring version (MSR-006/7/8) review.

[Unrustle_Thine_Jimmies]

TM Version uses a ramp and a piece of plastic attached to the piston to load the BB into the chamber.

Works better than the Ares style mech, but it's rather fragile by design and metal ones will damage BBs.

TM version also needs a different kind of mag to the ares one.

Oh, it would be so nice if every (or at least every worthwhile) company stuck to standard specifications for parts.

Or, even better, if companies made guns that didn't need so many parts replacing.

Has anyone got more to add to this thread. I'm curious if anyone has tried some other parts configurations etc?..

Necro-post I know but, I was wondering if Airsoft-Ed (or anyone else) had any long term observations on this rifle. I am looking at the ASG version and I am trying to decide if it is worthwhile. Thanks for any assistance.

I know that in my first post I said it was too beautiful to give up on.

Buuuuuutttt... I gave up on it.

I'd suggest avoiding it like the plague to be totally honest. The feeding mechanism is just terrible, you might get the gun shooting perfectly but that will always be a weak link. The mags spray all their BBs out at the slightly tap as well, really not worth the money.

Ed;

Well, that is disappointing. 'Sorry to hear you had to give up on the rifle, but thanks for your response.

Cheers.
