Sly has been itching for a DMR for some time now and he built a very nice one with all wood and steel construction!

Congratulations on Replica of the Month!

Ohhhhhh, now that is cool. I've always had a soft spot for the M14, my first airsoft gun was a Cyma M14. Color me impressed!!
Sly(CR3)
Woot!
Trench_Raider
Nice.
Cup(CR9)
I got to touch it!
DontFearDaReaper
Lets hope Sly doesn't use it to touch us !!! ;P By the by, I think I still have an M14 mag somewhere around the house if you need it.
Hatch(CR6)
... Shes nice looking but be warned, she gets around. Far too many have been inside that gearbox!!
Sly(CR3)
i do reap though it only takes CA And G&g you wouldn't happen have one of those would you?
DontFearDaReaper
Not sure, I'll dig it up and next time I see you you can see if it will work.
Sly(CR3)
Thanks I appreciate that. I've been hunting for mags like crazy.
DontFearDaReaper
No worries, I just found it and put it in my tactical bag so I wouldn't forget it. If it fits, its yours. Sadly I don't know if any of us are going to get to sling BB's this weekend. 70% chance of rain on Saturday for Austin and 30% chance in Harwood
Sly(CR3)
This is great and terrible news Reap. Wanted to get some DMR action going.
DontFearDaReaper
I feel your pain, I am aching to try out my new RS Type-56.
DontFearDaReaper
I think you may be in luck on the mag. I just looked up my old Cyma on Airsoftgi and it takes the G&G/TM type mag.
Sly(CR3)
Doh Cyma is TM. G&G is unique to that and CA.
DontFearDaReaper
Yah, did some poking around, it is a TM clone. Sorry. The description is slightly different from the faux wood to the black one which is what confused me on what type of magazine it was. Oh well, if someone needs a TM compatable M14 mag, I have one. I love the look and feel of the M14. (I actually had to lug a real one around for 9 weeks at Ranger school back in the ancient past). The Cyma M14 was a problem gun for me that never really worked right. I eventually took it to Shak and he told me it wasn't worth fixing which is why I now have a mag with no gun attached to it.

Let me know how that one works for you. I could easily talk myself into buying another M14 although I wouldn't run it as a DMR or sniper rifle.
Sly(CR3)
Thanks for checking. I'll let you know how it works out.

Ehobby Asia has G&G style hi-cap M14 mags in stock for $30 a throw .. http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/magazines/aeg-hi-cap-magazines/other-aeg-hi-cap-magazine/gandg-470rd-magazine-for-m14-soc-16-aeg.html

God I am weak-willed when it comes to airsoft toys .. I am soooo tempted to buy a G&G M14 right now and I haven't even shot at anyone with my RS Type-56 yet
Sly(CR3)
Bah ASGI sent me a highcap rather then a midcap and now are telling me they are sold out.
Sly(CR3)
Reap out of the box my M14 was a lemon, but with a lot of TLC it might be my favorite gun. They ran the wiring backwards on it and caused my motor to spin the wrong way took a lot of work to figure out wtf was happening.
Wraven(CR1)
and the mechbox takes 2 pairs of hands to work on! Be ready for a bromance!
DontFearDaReaper
Yah, Hilt absolutely HATED working on my Cyma M14 and Shakman basically pronounced it dead once he pulled it apart. Probably won't go there since I am all thumbs if I have to work on somthing that isn't built around a microprocessor. It is a sweet-looking gun though, I guess I'll just drool on Sly's
Sly(CR3)
I have named the gun WOODY.
JoeyRHO
I know what you guys mean. I've spent many nights pulling apart the M14 (version 7?) gearbox to my 1st gen AGM M14. $200 later it was working okay and then the tappet plate snapped.

I've since abandoned the project and sold the whole lot for $80.


Purpose of my story? I can tear down, grease, and shim a version 7 gearbox in about an hour now. haha
THERE WILL BE NO BROMANCE IN MY WORKSHOP~!!!
Sly(CR3)
No Bromance? *Sigh* time to get out of airsoft.
