"Excellent weight and feel. I did do many upgrades to the system and am intending to do more.
So far the guns accuracy is excellent *Once you master the hop-up* and a tight bore barrel (540mm, 6.01) does wonders to improve that. The "Clackity-clack" is something that gets everyone's attention when firing.
Internals are very simple when compared to most AEG's. As long as you keep track of which screws/washers go where you can tear the gun down in about 5-minutes with about 4 tools and a nail. (No joke)
When a part DOES break, it is very easy to get the parts. I have had that happen but I chalk it up to original owner abuse and even as I rebuild/swap out parts from one M-14, I am looking to take the "secondary" parts and build a CQB version (The short barrel is 440-mm. Still very accurate)
Worth, Every, Penny.

"This is a very good gun. Highly recommended. Shoots very hard and dead accurate(I recommend you buy a red dot sight, because a scope takes too long to aim). The only cons I can think of are that, after upgrading the mag to 30 rds, the bolt does not lock every time, and it is really heavy(around 14 lbs).
by Christian M. on 06/27/2011
"nice gun heavy and all accurate if you put 30s in it the only issue i had was that they painted inside my receiver which wound up wearing my seal out after about 200 shots and blew a guide rail, no big deal cuz im upgrading it anyways just if you get this gun make sure to check that out and clean the paint off the inside before shooting it

"Awesome gun!!! I am picking off aeg users from 100+ feet! I just ordered a matrix rail system for it, hope it works:/

"This is an amazing gun i took it to the field and what do you know it fired to fast at 440 fps. The only problem is i don't know how to slow it down.
by Tanner A. on 10/10/2010
"I picked up this gun in the store and you will not believe how heavy it is until you pick it up yourself. It had to weigh at lest 15 pounds.....i mean thats what felt like. this also has an extremely good blowback system that in my opionion is better than we scar GBB. GET THIS!!!!!!! or at least stop by to evike.com walk in store and shoot it for yourself!!!!

"What a great rifle!
Pros:
-Realistic, 20 rd magazines.
-Pull the charging handle to chamber the 1st round.
-Bolt locks to the rear when magazine is empty.
-Good kickback.
Cons:
-Gets heavy after awhile, especially with a full combat load.
-Pretty long rifle, not recommended for CQB.
I currently use this rifle as a DMR with the following attached.
-Matrix 4x32 Range Estimating Scope w/ AO and Mil-Dot Reticle
-King Arm Full Metal Scope Mount for Tokyo Marui and G&G M14 Series Rifle
If your all about realism, I recommend this rifle.
It won't let you down.
Now only if I can get a harris bi-pod adapter and r.i.s. unit for this...

"Amazing gun!
First impression:
The gun is heavy, if you ever hold a real M14 carbine, you'll notice this being the most realistic replica of the M14 on the market.
Finish is great with lots of detail, high quality materials are used, the wood stock finish is done very well and the metal parts are smooth and high quality.
It come in a WE packaging, standard brown box with manual, accessories and a magazine.
Performance:
Good accuracy and range. The gun reaches 100 feet easily with under 2 feet grouping outdoor with some wind. (This was tested with 0.25g Matrix bb)
The performance is great, but the most noticeable thing about this rifle is the blowback. The kick and realism is awesome!
Summary: Great gun to add to your collection if you are looking for realism. If you are a fan of the M14 series like me, then this is a must have. Highly recommend it.

"WE M14 rifle
I bought this air soft rifle back about March of 2014. I saw one in an air soft store and nearly bought it right there. However I decided to do some internet checking first. It became obvious there were some things that would need upgrading even on a new rifle. The store one had been operated with no lubrication and was essentially worn out.
So I bought a new one. I actually carried the real one almost identical to the AS one. The weight and balance is astoundingly close. I outfitted mine with a 3-9 x 40 illuminated scope due to problems with my eye sight.
There is enough already written about the box and lack of instructions so I'm going to leave that as well as visual descriptions. It is very close to the RS so enjoy it for what it is.
This rifle is just so much fun to shoot. I've got well over 9000 rnds through so far.
Now this being a gas blow back rifle means there are lots of moving parts. Most of these are metal but die cast aluminum or zinc alloy. For the most part they hold up pretty well. I broke the bearing off the bolt cover so I now have several spares. Also broke the plastic nozzle guides...got lit up as a result. Haha. These were replaced with the RA-Tech aluminum ones. The stock nozzle broke so i got a couple stock ones and a couple 500 fps ones.
I saw there were a number of issues with the trigger assembly. In looking at it, lubrication and keeping the pins tight seemed to be a good fix. Eventually at about 6000 rnds the trigger assembly suffered a catastrophiuc failure. I was a little disappointed but I got about 2 1/2 times as many rnds as most out of the stock one so I just bit down hard on the bullet and bought the RA-Tech steel trigger assembly. This is the best improvement you can make so either pony up at the start or save for the day. You will destroy the stock trigger,no doubt. I thought I could beat it by carefully maintaining it but I had to give in. The steel trigger box is so smooth that it is hard to believe.
The rifle is very easy to take apart. There is a video for this.
Because I use the 500 fps nozzle I can only use semi auto at the fields I go to. It's easy to disable full auto by just removing the selector bar.
The full auto feature is cool but as on the RS we found that accuracy was golden and tactics were adjusted for this. Close in the M 4 and variants work pretty well. I will say that if you get hit by this rifle as I have it at 110 feet you will know it!! It hits hard and I can triple tap pretty well.
I also added the Ra-Tech 6.01 barrel and bucking. This puts accuracy out to well over 220 feet. Now it does take some tuning to do this but it's what makes GBBR fun. I shoot enough that I know the spread of bb's so I don't need to see them. I use green or tan bb most of the time so it is hard to spot me by bb path. It make a fearsome sound as it cycles so it carries a fear factor.
My final mod has been the R Hop. I'm still testing but it works well in this rifle.
As a side note mag gassing is usually caused by improper seating of the mag or over filling the mag.
So:
Pro
Very realistic good looking
Great for milsim
Cool sound
Nice 'fear factor'
Very accurate
Very good range
Easy to work on
Great DM rifle
Handles well for a big rifle
Lots of good upgrades are available
Just plane fun to shoot
Possible to convert to HPA
Con
This rifle is heavy, plus mags weigh 1 1/4 pounds each. Not for wimps.
You need a substantial pack to carry mags and extra ammo.
This rifle needs maintenance often but is easy to service.
Lots of spare parts are required
Steel trigger box required
This is not a cheap rifle to purchase or maintain
Not really a beginner rifle unless you have very good mechanical skills.
Requires a special mag speed loader. This is not really a con as the WE loader for this works well and is inexpensive.
Over all I'll give this rifle 4 1/2 stars or 9 out of 10. Mostly because of the trigger box expense and maintenance that could be fixed by better materials.
As a final note Evike is the place to get all the parts and accessories. I didn't get paid for that either...just a fact.
