sonofsammo Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I was watching 13 Hours the other day and really liked the look of the rifle Oz was using, and it got me thinking: Is there an airsoft equivalent for every 7.62 rif? Are there any notable by their absence in the airsoft world? In terms of being a good gun with no need for upgrades, what's the best 7.62 replica out of the box? (Excluding the G28, as it's eleventy billion pounds!). What's your favourite and why? Doesn't have to be accuracy/range based - Could just be it gives you the biggest grin!

Head Moderator Jedi_Master Posted April 19, 2018 Head Moderator Share Posted April 19, 2018 No, probably not every 7.62 caliber gun. There are lots of AK47 but not every variant. Anything TM should be good out of the box. Favourite is HK417 because it is a Heckler & Kock gun and looks good, unlike the SCAR H with its Wellington boot stock.

Iceni Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 H&K91 G3. LCT make a full steel one. £340 ish AK 47/74. LCT and E&L both make steel ones. £200-500. SA58/SLR/FAL. Ares produce high quality replicas. £400-550. Best out of the box would depend on the user, none of those guns are classed as budget, The LCT AK's can be had for about £200-250. And for that you get a good gearbox, On a well make body, but with none of the trinkets. No mosfets ect. So you still have to do some work. Poor mag compatibility, but the proper mags fit as close to the real thing as possible. Look for trades on here as the AK variants by both companies are well established. There were a few E&L models up a few weeks ago. The LCT G3 again is full steel, but the V2 gearbox needs some work to be perfect. The tappet plates are garbage, and I needed a cylinder head for mine as well. Again no mosfet, and the gearbox wasn't perfectly shimmed. Poor mag compatibility. For sheer grin factor I love my G3. It's an absolute animal of a gun, Looks and feels very real, frighteningly so. And the external build quality is insane, You could use it like a club, And it physically drains and hurts you due to the weight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So here's another question - Why is it that non AK 7.62 airsoft rifs seem to be out of stock all the time? Is it because they're so popular they sell out very quickly, or is it because they're so unpopular that shops don't bother getting them in?

Wo1f Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 The scar H is next to it. I have an ACR stock for it, but I prefer the ugg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for why nobody has non AK 7.62 rifles in stock, I think you're just not looking in the right place. M14s are immensely popular but potentially a bit out of fashion because Black Hawk Down came out aaaaages ago now. Not many people made an HK417 other than expensive brands so there's that plus a lot of people want the easy route of M4/AK. While we're on the subject of AKs, when I had one the thing that used to proper grind my gears was seeing AK74 mags in AK47s and vice versa.

Dentonboy Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I do love an M14 tbf, but think TM is where to go for out of the box capability. This Star effort of mine is OK, style over substance though: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
