Asia electric gun sr15 - is it worth upgrading?

[THE FNG]

Hi all,

 

So I have acquired my brothers sr15 made by manufacturer "Asia electric gun".

The gun has poor fps (260) and has a very slow gearbox cycle. It's also about 6 years old but used probably less than 5 or 6 times.

 

It is however, quite a nice looking gun; full metal body, sleek design and is surprisingly nice to hold despite being a cheap rif.

 

My question is: is it worth spending the cash on a high torque motor, new spring and possibly a hop unit (unsure atm if the low fps is due to low factory spring or a badly installed aftermarket hop unit) or would I be better off selling it for a few quid?

It really does depend. My personal opinion is mixed. I purchased a £50 shell and built a gun, spending £600 on it(I replaced everything for things that I wanted).

 

But I’m very much on the either buy higher spec or be happy with your cheap basic RIF. 

 

 

If the gun means a lot to you, you may want to upgrade it and make it something special, if it’s one of many, and you use the others more, I wouldn’t bother.
