Asomodai Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Had been looking at finishing up my fishy trio. Managed to pick up an Italian classic. The ARX 160. Really wanted it in Tan so had to plump for the cheaper sports line model. So that's the F2000 boat, XM8 Tactical Tuna and the ARX side of Salmon. Snagged it for only 120 quid including shipping from Italy. Thinking of ordering the long barrel for it. Immortal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 This is the Bravo4 recticule, as ever very difficult to photograph with a phone, but the recticlue is an upside down horseshoe, with a tiny red dot in the middle and the bullet drops are illuminated as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hop chamber is weird and you risk snapping the feeding tube! Had it happen to a guy, he had to replace the whole lower receiver.. Which shop did you get it from? 3 hours ago, UKCYukarin said: I'll try, should I just make a whole thread for it when it turns up with the parts with unboxing, teching e.t.c? Yeah, that'd be nice!

Its a somewhat awkward gun because of the proprietary hop unit, the extra long air nozzle and that the mags fall out when you adjust the hop unit! Should receive it after the new year. I picked it up for 105 euros at SoftAir Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was tempted to order a few things from there, decided I'm gonna pay more but order from a decent Italian shop instead. Bunch of assholes, they only care about the money and nothing else. Btw just ordered a steel cylinder for my striker for €64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda disappointed as Ares could up the price of the base gun by €30 and use steel cylinders to begin with.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMDavis Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Bought a clone Trijicon SRS site from @rocketdogbert yesterday. (lovely bloke to deal with) 👍 Fitted it on my LVOA earlier and to say I'm over the moon with it, is an understatement! Can't wait to get out and zero it, and try it out in game! Excuse the crappy photos, but I'm in a rush on my lunch break... Monkman, P13 and Polluxtroy69 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asomodai Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 The ARX160 has arrived. Seriously has the worst feeling ABS plastic (Similar to my TM Famas). Feels flimsy. But the plus side is that it is incredibly lightweight for the size which is more important to me. Everything else seems fairly solid. Decent high torque motor, good sounding gearbox, Hop unit seems flimsy but have worked out how to release the barrel and hop unit with just one external switch. 5 minute hop bucking change is pretty easy with this! Haven't fired it beyond dry firing but seems fine otherwise! Worth the 105 quid considering how unique it is. I just wish they did the Elite version in Tan! If you want the best rifle for your money and don't care about being unique, go for a JG G36. @Skara Edit: The Hi cap mag it came with broke within 2 shots. My ICS Hi cap then broke straight after, which was random, fixed it and all works fine now. It wont fit PTS style midcaps. Chronos at 318 with the hop on with a 6 +/- Variance and 328 with hop Off with 6+/- Variance. Skara 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
