Allen428 Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I’m planing on buying a TM MK23 but I keep putting it off as can’t decide if the ASG MK23 is worth a go at half of the price of the TM. Has anyone owned both that can compare there performance, is it worth getting the ASG or just pay the extra for the TM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m after someone’s option who has owned or tried both models and can compare there performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heroshark Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 Tbh once you make all the regular tweaks to your desire on both models there's nothing in it. Main thing to consider is do you want trades ? And also the other elements that come with the tm. They are easy enough to sell on if not. Even the mag if you don't want to be fixing the over pressure valve down the line and just run it on clone mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albiscuit Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I have both, I 'upgraded' the TM and it worked pretty poorly but this was obviously down to me not the gun, the gun was SUPER fecking fine from day one until touched it. The ASG worked just as good (at cqb setting) until an issue where it was loading two bbs at once and no one could work out why and I was basically told its cheap so not worth paying a tech to sort. I agreed. Now I have 2, both of which dont work properly (have been saying for over a year that I will sort the TM though ) If you are going to chuck new stuff into it, and play around with it then I would grab an ASG personally!!

Steveocee Posted May 8, 2019 Share Posted May 8, 2019 I went with an STTi. (Cheaper than ASG) Most people tend to upgrade them anyway so once you apply the mods like TDC, barrel and h-plate they are more or less the same unless you are really bothered about the shade and texture of the outer plastic. The suppressor on the TM is good and the ASG/STTi/clone one needs a LOT of work to make it work properly but they the stock one is properly long which lowers mobility. @Samurai makes good shorter ones which I'm yet to buy but will once I get some spare cash. Clones can e a little clunky and need a bit of love to get them working properly but that's the only downside to saving £100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
