advice on my first gun

[K@rl]

Some sites run limited ammo or limited mag size games. A lot more tactical.

You could always go with an FN Fal, It's pretty much an SLR with a short barrel.

Plus there are JG V.3 gearbox versions.

Searching for the SA58, LK58, FN Fal, might give you a few more hits. And while I know it's not an SLR, It's a damn sight closer than an M4.

You could even add some length to it with a suppressor, or barrel extension. I wouldn't alter the inner barrel length tho as you might need to change the cylinder if it's ported.

It also solves the upgrade problems as the JG on a v3 gearbox shouldn't be too bad out of the box. You would need defence to buy it tho, but that taiwangun link works out about £130 atm so it's not overpriced at all.

I do like them.

 

I was offered an M4 CQB at a great price, only issue is most of the sites near where i live are all outdoor sites. so looknig at them gives me another idea.

There is people who make hi-cap gbb mags, if like me you don't want tapped mags. I highly recommend reaper airsoft on Facebook.

Would also recommend Reaper Airsoft Customs.
