What new GBBR?

[PopRocket123]

I understand why they made the type 89 but I wish they’d have made the scar L or an ACR, or even a 416. That way they can keep the same mag. Ultimately I’d kill for a TM scar H, famas and PSG-1 gbbr. I could die happy then. 

Exactly. They've shown with the Type 97 that they can make it work in other platforms. They're still catering to the Japanese market though

They only ever will, the don’t officially export anything

mp5- WE (externally one of the nicest RIF’s available and shoots well) vfc ones aren’t as nice externally believe it or not.

First person to say WE MP5 has better externals than VFC.  You must have seen a dodgy VFC as WEs look like crap compared to VFC.

Anyone had any experience with the GHK Sig 553?

Most vfc stuff are nice but I much prefer WE’s all steel mp5. Performs better too.

No personal experience but I’ve heard multiple reports that mags get damaged on insertion. I’m sure badabing has a good video on one.

VFC is steel too.

I've not seen a VFC MP5 but I can say the WE is very well made inside and out. I have 2 of them, the Kurz and SD1. I'd like to see a VFC out of curiousity.

Add the Z parts and it's even better (longevity wise).

I didn't realise that. Makes sense though

What about any .308 ARs? Are there any that are worth getting maybe as a DMR base?

 

[Davegolf]

Thought I'd just add some 553 input; I think any issues with GHK 553s were just early/prepro models.

I have one and the fit and finish is superb - hands down the most rigid and solid feeling airsoft gun I've handled.

No probs with mags either.

The best bit is the trigger, there's an adjustable stop which effectively gives you a 2 stage trigger which so crisp.

MWS accurate out the box too.

All other GBBRs have been covered I think, still love the TM MP7 only downside is gas capacity and not being 1:1

there's only a couple. The Mega arms MML maten is shite. Sounds nice, feels nice, might as well throw BB's at people. The VFC SR-25 can be made good with some hop mods but it's expensive. I miss mine..

None 'AR' .308's... The WE scar H is very good with a barrel and bucking change. Probably the best .308 gbbr currently available from what i have tried. Has some flaws like all guns, but nothing to put you off. VFC/cybergun made a gbbr scar H but parts availability is none existent and the WE is tried and tested.

That's what is found online so I wanted to check. I already have a SCAR H AEG that I bought as a project so don't really want another one that's going to need work too. It's strange that there aren't more since the larger magazine with lower ammo capacity makes magazines way more practical for a gas rifle.

i forgot the VFC 417 and g28. Have some quirks but can be made into half decent DMR's. I think the new Umarex ones are made by KWA so steer well clear of those. 

Best gbbr for DMR I've found is the mws, but if it has to be 308 the Scar H is a good all rounder. They want to be DMR's that badly the auto sear selector bar breaks in them that they end up semi only anyway lol. I remove mine from new. Like all WE guns, the barrel/ bucking is appalling, so account for £50ish for a bucking and barrel. Besides that, it should be as reliable as most GBBR's. Just remember it either needs to be all steel in side or no steel inside. Swap one part out and it starts eating into the others.

I've had a HK417 before too again as an AEG. I fell out of love with it though as it's so unnecessarily chunky. The SCAR sounds like a good bet and I'm currently building a kit for my SCAR AEG so it could be cool to change to a GBBR instead. It'll be my luck that the dimensions will turn out to be just different enough that I have to completely rework the fittings again though

I wouldn't be opposed to a 553. Performance wise it's got what I'm after and it's compact so easy storage. It's one I keep going back and forth on whether I actually like the look of it or not though. Plus it means buying yet more mag pouches

 

[EvilMonkee]

Maybe a GHK G5? Compact, uses M4 mags so no need for new pouches, wide range of upgrade parts, shoot well OOB, is a bit cheaper than some of the other options so you wouldn't need to sell as many AEGs to buy one - there are several on the classifieds currently.

Personally I would just say f*ck it and buy the GHK AK if thats what got you hard in the first place.  But then again I love my GHK AK.....

 

[Wo1f]

I can undestand that.  As an AK fanatic I just wish TM would do an AKM GBBR...

Looks like your wish has come true ?

The G5 doesn't really do anything for me. Couldn't tell you why though. I wouldn't be opposed to a GHK AK74...

Oh you bastard. I still have to sell the G&P first
