Double Bell 016-1 (AKS74U)

[Tyskie]

First gun bought, what do we think? Couldnt find many reviews about it.

 

Fire selector is not the best, and stock is a bit wobbly but seems decent otherwise. Anyone had any experience with it?

 

I was initially looking for a cyma 045 but not many about 2nd hand.

It looks funky but, without knowing how it shoots, it is impossible to comment about much more than that.

What is the issue with the fire selector?

[Tyskie]

Gonna test it tomorrow in a game to see how it shoots.

 

The fire selector doesnt line up with the slots on the receiver, with auto being somewhere in the middle and semi is so low the lever has to be off the receiver

[Colin Allen]

Possibly the selector mechanism has not been assembled properly and is a tooth out of alignment.

So i used it today in a game and after i chrono'd it, i had a bb crack inside the gun and it must of got into the gearbox and locked it up. I took out the motor and that was fine, and released tension from the gears. Full autoed it a bit and it was fine after that. Not sure if the issue is with the gun itself or the bb/mag. 

 

I used Rebel 0.25s. Are they any good? What bbs should I get?

I was really considering one of these but ended up spunking the extra money on an E&L, had a more basic double bell which my nephew now has, gearbox etc seemed ok for the very cheap price I bought it for.

Yeah the double bells arent bad guns for the money but the E&Ls are lovely on the outside. How are the internals?

[Cannonfodder]

I had an E&L AK and as nice as the external were, the internals were the opposite. I would get bbs jamming in the barrel with every other burst before the piston are itself. In the end I just replaced the entire gearbox
