the mG36 tuning to be made

Couple months ago I sent my Classic Army AUG replica to my favorite ASG Shop for repairs and small tuning.

Tomorrow I am sending them my mG36 for servicing and tuning.

I want them to see if there's anything wrong with the replica, because I think it has too low range. Maybe I broke something when I tried to replace the inner barrel. I thought about it in january and wrote two articles on how I tried to fix it.

Aside from the servicing, I will also ask the guys from my favorite shop to:

• install new sealed air nozzle (I have one already in my parents' place, so I won't be able to send it with the replica tomorrow),
  
• put any precise inner barrel,
  
• change the electrical wires to some high grade silicone wires and put them to the back of the gearbox and in the stock where the battery is located.

The changes should increase the muzzle velocity a little and increase the accuracy. They should also increase the rate of fire as the resistance of the wires should be decreased.

Maybe I'll ask the guys to install some stronger spring, but I'm not sure yet.

Spring airsoft rifle

When we started playing airsoft with cheap spring pistol replicas (for PLN 20-50 each, which is equivalent to $7.5-18.7), we dreamed of something much more powerful, with much better range. The pistols we had used 0.12 g BBs (the lightest there are) and had range of (I guess) 20 meters (60 feet).

When one of us bought his spring SMG replica (I guess it was Scorpion for PLN 150 -- $56), his team was always overbalanced. But we all dreamt of something much more powerful -- spring airsoft rifle!

From Airsoft from Poland photos

The photo above shows my airsoft team (Shamo Warsaw ASG Team), at some very early stage. At that moment we had only spring or gas guns. On the photo you can see a Super 9 spring sniper rifle and two M16s spring airsoft rifles. We had also two spring shotguns, one spring SMG (the Scorpion mentioned above) and 2 gas handguns.
In my team’s first advertisement you can also see a lot of spring airsoft rifles. But are they worth any money? Before we answer this question, another needs to be asked: why do you consider buying an airsoft spring rifle?

If you just want to buy anything with better range than your spring pistol, the airsoft spring rifle is a poor choice. You can buy a good spring airsoft rifle from Tokyo Marui for $85 (a M16 for example), but for the same amount of money you can get some cheap airsoft electric gun, like AK-47 from Cyma (CM028). It has similar range (if not better!), full-auto option, larger magazine capacity (hi-cap in box), battery and a charger. You may also buy a gas pistol, like (for example):

• KJW’s Beretta M9 full metal replica with adjustable hop-up,


• two very good KJW’s MK1 (ruger) pistols with great range and muzzle velocity of 380 fps!

Each of the examples above can serve you for couple of years, if you take good care of it. If you decide to buy something more sophisticated later, such replica may be used as sidearm or simply a backup gun.

If you want to buy spring airsoft rifle because you want a replica of bolt action rifle, a spring one (like Tokyo Marui’s VSR-10) is a good choice. It’s less expensive that such rifle but gas powered (like Tanaka’s M700 rifle). It works just like the original (you pull the lever, you fire, no full-auto needed). It can be tuned, if you decide later, that you need something more powerfull but don’t want to buy another replica.
