G&G GR16 Full Metal looking for opinions. NOT A RATE MY AEG!

[malik]

Cost me $180, came with an red/green dot ACOG, 1x magazine, 1xbattery/smart charger. Full metal with a homemade mock silencer. Just wondering if this was a good buy or not.

Again, THIS IS NOT A RATE MY AEG POST. Just want people's past experience with G&G M4s and if I'll be wanting to upgrade anything internally.

TBB. Maybe a new hopup.

Then paint that other rifle some other color than UCP.

Okay, I agree with a tbb, I'm not sure how to install a hopup, but if it isn't too risky/spendy i might try it. How do you paint guns? Sorry... I've never done a paintjob before..

Replace the hop up rubber and nub (get an H nub), not the hop up unit. Although, its a G&G, if it has the Green rubber bucking in it, you should be fine.

Don't paint the gun unless you feel you need to, its not really going to do much for you, if you decide to do so, i would pay someone with the knowledge on how to do it right..

And a TBB will do you good too, if you are not happy with the stock barrel

Just use the gun, and decide what could change, and what you want done to make it "better" for "you".

Aight, well, i'm just waiting to receive it so I can see what it needs. I just paid yesterday, should be here this week i think.

Just a thought, could I add RIS rails where the holes are on the outer barrel?

You mean the handguard? and yes.

good buy. i have the same gun and i added a tbb and was going to do the hop up unit but the airsmith guy i talked to said the one it has is a good one and to just replace the bucking. like cap said, use it and note what you would like it to do. shoot faster? farther? straighter? there are LOTS of DIY paint job tutorials on alot of diff sites. basically you clean your gun, maybe sand it lightly a little. lay a thin base coat, let it dry and repeat until you get the desired color then do a clear coat for protection. krylon and rustoleum are pretty common paints to use. good luck

I'm now looking for a good barrel length RIS set up.. How would I go about adding one? How much will it cost? Any info you can give me on this would be appreciated.

Rail system will cost you $50-$120. You're also going to have to either buy a PEQ box or tape a battery to the outside of the rail.

Alternately, you can rewire the gun to the back, and use either a full stock or crane stock, but then you have to buy a stock as well.


It's usually cheaper to buy a new gun that is set up how you like it. Kid you not.

Oh yeah.. damn. Forgot about the battery deal... How much do PEQ boxes sell for? Are they just hollow boxes that have holes where you can stick your battery? I thought there were rails or something I could plug into the holes along the top or bottom?

[pappyjump]

sorry if this is a bit late but a peq costs from 25$-40$ and try the UTG R.I.S. i have them on my KWA and they fit it like a glove.

Malik, not trying to be a jerk or anything, but the majority of the questions you have asked could have been found by going on almost ANY airsoft retailer's site.

Instalation questions I can understand, but asking how much something costs? Look for what you want, then pick the best deal.

i don't want retailer prices, want resale prices.

So, you're going to add a RIS and sell it? You'll probably get 180 for it. I don't understand what the question is anymore.
