6mmProShop Full Metal "Evil Black Rifle" M14 EBR Enhanced Airsoft AEG Rifle

"This gun is amazing! It is heavy but not as heavy as I thought it was going to be. Shoots accurate and turns heads on the field. The hopup is good. I highly recommend this rifle if you are looking for firepower.

"this gun is beast...
great range, which the hop-up improves
good accuracy, not great but a good inner barrel will help
solid construction
good rate of fire

WARNING: THIS GUN IS NOT FOR THE WEAK
front-heavy gun, not for shooters that want to be highly mobile. however, with its center of gravity so far forward it is easy to move on a bi pod, which makes it good for covering fire and sniping(if it were more accurate).

it is an amazing gun that wont let you down. it is just not the most practical gun. but it is still a gun worth the money

"Really great rifle, the most bang for your buck that ive ever seen. Shooting quality is amazing, the rail kit is solid and everything works great on it.The only problem ive had with it is that it is super heavy, my m249 with the rail kit doesent even weigh that much. It tops out at about 14 pounds with accessories but you get used to it though.

"Got mine a week ago. Just got to shot it this past weekend. Mags are a pain but oiled it up and it fed perfect. Running a 9.6 volt battery. When in full auot all I seen was a straight long line of white. Beautifully done rifle. Might buy another one just for the hell of it. Love it.

"Got mine in this week. Build quality is great and every part that matters is made with high quality metal. I love the full trades.

I upgraded the spring to an m140 and installed a prometheus 6.03 500mm barrel.
Shoots ~500fps even and runs great with anything from a 9.6v NiMh to a 11.1v LiPO.

My only quarrel with the gun is that matrix 180rd mags are a pain to get feeding right.

Other than that I love everything else. Oh and to answer some peoples questions, the barrel is 14mm positive. I am 100% sure.

"Got the gun and quality is high,shoot at 400 FPS for mine and can use lipo 11.1 V 1000 mah with no problem.Wish they can have rail on the hand guard so vertical grip can be mount closer to the user. The existing lower rail feels too far to mount vertical grip and due the weight the gun similar to the real steel version really could use a vertical grip closer to the user.

"Ordered this on Wendsday last week, arrived monday (using Free3day shipping)

About the Gun. The Construction is rather good for its price point. I picked one up, then half-expected to be on tier with the Kart EBR.

Welp. Its not. Its about a pound lighter, and instead of pot-metal, made with Steel, and Cast Alumninum Parts (mostly the latter).

Also. The outer Barrel is threaded for 14mm Clockwise (Positive) Threading.

Out of the box, after fenagling the hop-up it shot well past 200 feet with .25's with the groupings going to the left (indicative of a off-centered nub or spacer).

Me being me. Cracked it open. (forgetting how time consuming it is....)

Opened it up to find. Okay-Good Internals.

6mm Gearbox
6mm Steel Bushings
Standard spaced M120? Equivilant spring
Piston was the usual JG EBB Cut White poly piston with a meh tier piston head, ALTHOUGH does have bearings on it.
Spring guide was a 2 Peice design. Not quite efficent but was replaced with a V2 Ball Bearing spring guide i had on hand.
JG Steel gears, with a large Delayer Notch (Spur gear is your usual M14 spur gear, and not your usual aeg large spur gear)
As for Airseal Components. Brass Cylunder with some porting for the 450mm barrel (short crown, Calipurs are saying 6.05mm)
Cylinder head is nothing to write home about, average quality.
The Air Nozzle. Surprisingly DOES have an O-Ring Nozzle.

Swapped the bucking for a Modify Soft Kit (flat-hop)
and ended up getting the range out to a further 260 feet, with a tighter grouping and dead straight. Shoots as well as my CYMA Dragunov, without looking so Russian.

Im Throughly impressed with the build quality, Both internally and Externally. Top it off its 100% TM spec so mags arn't outragous like for the CA/G&G pattern guns. If you can deal with the Weight, it is a VERY solid build. Going to make my SR-25 P* take a temporary Back seat for a few games ^^.

"This weapon is great, but it isn't perfect.

-The weapon looks amazing: It feels good to hold, and it just has a awesome feel to it. The way each individual part fits together, from the tip of the muzzle break to the back of the fully adjustable stock. There is no loss to the weapon in the aesthetics department.

-Its heavy: Personally I like my guns to have some weight to them, nothing wrong with plastic guns. But it kinda ruins the immersion when your gun weighs less than the cardboard box it was sent in. Which in the first place this is a DMR, not a CQB M4. Its not meant for you to charge in at full speed and hose the enemy down with your tornado gearbox and DCG. It's meant to hit targets with precision at medium to long range. which brings me t the next point.

-It's consistent: Although the bb's will curve to the left a bit with .20's they will hit with some staggeringly high groupings. (this can be fixed simply by using heavier bbs, i found .30's and higher worked best) I was able to repeatedly hit a soda can with nearly every shot at almost 100 feet. And the bb's that missed were caused by user error or wind and not the gun.(jerking the trigger/stretching)

-The range: As far as range goes it's good, but not amazing. My VSR-10 could easily out range this thing effortlessly. But my VSR-10 also has 550 fps and a stainless steel 6.01mm inner barrel with a maple leaf bucking. The M14 has a stock barrel and a stock bucking, but still can accurately hit ranges of 200 feet. (with .20's but still hits 150-175 with .30

"For $220 You are getting good value. The gun from afar is a spitting image of the m14 ebr with the sage chassis. Shoots like well out of the box with no problems. The mag has very little wrong with feeding as well. It is not perfect however so I will list pro's and cons's.
PRO'S:
-Shoots strong and accurate out of box(hop up can be adjusted if otherwise)
-realistic weight of the real gun(very close actually)
-durable(so long as you aren't donkey Kong)
-looks good
-mag works fine
-price
CON's:
-for some it will be heavy(11 pounds but you would get used to it)
-gas tube came loose(just mine, others may experience but it does not hinder performance and can easily be fixed)
-safety seems not to work or works on semi auto when it's off(My safety seems not to be working and may be similar wit others)
-stock can get wobbly(just tighten screws, it does not get nearly as wobbly as people complain about.)

For $220 this rifle is perfect. Little to none permanent problems and just the minor ones keeping this product from 5 stars.

"Ok so i got this gun a week and a half ago and it worked very well out of the box. But then it started making noises like a skrew gun and not shooting. I took a look later and found out that i got a lemon. Because the gearbox was skrewed. Im sending it back for a new one. Otherwise a great gun.

Pros
Good feel
Accurate for stock gun
Good rof
Fps is decent but 450 would be better
Heavy and made of metal
Looks sexy
Good price

Cons
My guns gearbox broke after only using it twice (i probably got a lemon)
Pistol grip and stock are a bit loose (minor problem)
Its kinda heavy but hey, its a dmr

Other than that its a great gun and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a dmr :)

"Thoroughly pleased & disappointed. Out of the box, & to this day, the Sage M14 EBR is as accurate as a gun could be. It's powerful. It's beautiful. It's an EBR. Sage did a nice job on that.
It works for what it is.

But here's where I'm frustrated:
Out of the box, every screw is incredibly lose. You have to tighten everything, but honestly, don't worry about it. Why? Because after you tighten it, everything just becomes lose again in a matter of hours. It's almost remarkable how lose it becomes in a short amount of time. So I'm running around with a wobbly grip & stock, along with a wobbly bottom rail (which means my bipod moves around)
As you all know, it's extremely front heavy. But that's not an issue for me, it was expected

All in all. Beautiful weapon. Shoots beautifully. Hitting targets on semi the first hit just by the iron sights that came on the gun from a distance. But it's so darn wobbly.. Really upset about that. It should be solid if I'm going to pay $220 for it. & I did. So

If you want an EBR, this is the best one to get. Maybe you'll have better luck then I did.

"The gun worked very well out of the box and worked perfectly fine but the gearbox on this weapon is very unorthodox and uncommon I would not advise you take this apart unless you really pay attention to details and are familiar with airsoft AEGs, after I took the gun apart I had a very hard time sliding the gearbox back into place and nearly broke a wire. Overall the gun functions very well straight out of the box, but the internals are very compact earning this weapon a 4/5 stars

"So I have had this gun for about 6 months, and I have to say it is pretty amazing. The are a couple of flaws in it though.

First, weight. It really isn't tremendously heavy, but the gun is extremely unbalanced. It is very front heavy, so grab it pretty far up the barrel and you should be okay. Also, get a sling and a bipod. They will help tremendously.

Second, engineering 101, if it don't move use WD40. Pretty much every screw on the gun is locked in so tight that I went through every tool in the house trying to get it off. WD40 is gonna be your friend.

Misc, get a new battery. I got an 11.1 lipo, and this gun is devastating. Thus next thing is an m14 problem, the scope is really far forward from your eye. You can't use just any scope on this gun.

Other then that, the gun is amazing and I would recommend it to everyone.

"I bought this expressly to swap in a Hydra whenever Wolverine releases it, but in the meanwhile, I've upgraded it with parts from around the store to make a solid DMR weapon that's my primary shooter.

On arrival, I was extremely satisfied with the quality of the packaging, as I've recieved "new" guns thrown into a trashed cardboard box and some styrofoam packed around it before.

Package contents were as expected, the gun, a high-cap mag, unjamming rod, some 0.20g BBs and an 8.4v NiMH battery wired to mini Tamiya connector. A welcome, but unexpected addition was the full-color manual provided, with the generic "don't pointing at the face or animals" Chinglish translation, but more welcome was the fully-labeled parts listing at the back of the manual, complete with part numbers for ordering, if I ever need to.

Utilizing the provided battery and BBs an out of the box shooting test came in below advertised FPS, clocking in average 385 fps, spiking to 394 fps at the highest and 378 fps at the lowest (an air leak? only disassembly will tell). Ranges were within expected tolerances for the FPS, hitting the ground between 165-175 feet from the point of the shot, so the hop up was functional in the current setup. Overall, not a terrible result, if all you wanted was an average field-capable gun out of the box...

...but we're not about average here at The Airsmithy. Let's crack this puppy open and see what's making it tick.

Disassembly was pretty standard for a TM-spec M14, the only oddity being the sheer number of metric hex sizes utilized in the bolts. I may come back to this when I convert to HPA, and sub out some fasteners so I don't have to use my ENTIRE hex set just to disassemble it.

Once I got it apart, I scoured out all the inevitable JG-spec lubricant goop (you know, that yellowy brown shit they pump into every gearbox by the gallon) and took a look at the parts:

As expected, a white plastic piston awaited me, mated to a flat head with an exceptionally loose o-ring, and possibly the cause of my airleak and FPS jitter, so into the parts bin with them. Replacing them was a JB Unicorn Aluminum Piston which is extra nice because it has a full teeth option I was happy to use. The piston head was swapped for Lonex's Aluminum Mushroom head version, and the oddly ported (a small, sharp-sided 6mm square on one side in the back quarter) cylinder for a Lucid Chromium unported cylinder from Guarder. The plastic cylinder head followed the rest of the stock parts into the bin and was replaced with a Guarder Stainless Steel variant. There are no solid upgrades for the M14 air nozzle, and once reassembled, no major air leak was detected, so the stock nozzle survived the upgrade process. Finally, the stock spring tested at 7lbs under 1.5" compression, so I replaced it with a Systema spring returning 8lbs under the same compression, (which turned out to be an M120 spring, for those stuck on that system of measurement instead of actually measuring compression force).

Gears look pretty solid, although unexceptional. I'll count teeth down the road and update with the ratio provided stock, although YMMV as JG tends to just slap in whatever they have on hand, so two identical exteriors could have different parts inside. Popping the dodgy-looking stock bearings out, they were missing some of the internal balls, so in the trash they went, after measuring and seeing they were the dreaded 6mm size. I had a set of Fox Airsoft Custom Bearing Gears in 18:1 High Torque variant on hand from my old King Arms 556 DMR build, so I threw those in along with some Fox Airsoft Custom 6mm Bushings, which I prefer over bearings for gearboxes that don't have 8mm+ holes. Some Hawk Arms shims ensure that everything this is spaced correctly and spin freely. The motor was generic and unlabeled, so while it had no issue pulling the stock spring, I'm going to turn up the volume a bit, so I replaced it with a short-type Lonex A2 High Torque Motor to ensure it would be able to handle the upgraded mainspring.

The barrel was a generic ~6.05mm brass number, but due to the fairly unique nature of the M14's hop up unit, standard M4/AK barrels aren't compatible, as the machined locking channels in the barrel don't match up with the retaining clip. I was prepared however, and replaced with a 6.03mm x 509mm barrel from, one of the few barrels I've been able to verify have the proper channels machined in them for the locking clip (VFC makes one as well, but not in the M14 length). The very squishy hop-up bucking and nub were tossed in favor of a Maple Leaf setup, replacing the former with a 75-degree rubber and the latter with a Flat-Hop nub.

I regreased and relubed everything with a mixture of Super Lube Silicone Grease and light-weight 100% Silicone Oil from 3-in-1 before reassembling the gearbox, mechanicals and externals. The 8.4v @ 1600 mAh NiMH went in with the other spare batteries, and was replaced with a 2300 mAh 11.1v LiPo from Firefox.

The externals finished off the upgrade. First I removed the plastic orange flashider, threading first a King Arms 1" adapter to correct the clockwise threading to the more common counterclockwise version, then dropped a spare SCAR-H metal flashhider we had in the shop on top. A G&P scope mount rail extender gave me space to mount my UTG 4" ITA and UTG 3x Magnifier. A Magpul MS3 Gen2 Sling helps me lug around the beast and with a little bit of filing on the rear block, G&P Metal Midcaps feed its hunger like a champ.

After all the work, the numbers come out much better. 398-402 fps throughout the entire magazine using the 0.20g Elite Force BBs we use for benchmarking, averaging 399 fps. Ranges with the new hopup and barrel increased to about 225 ft reliably, although I can get arced shots up to 300 ft, although that's pointless in actual games. While I didn't measure grouping with the stock system, the upgraded setup puts all BBs on paper within a 1" group at 200 ft, an excellent group for real world physics including random wind and whatnot.

"This is a DAY 1 fast and dirty review. Its my initial feelings about it with 3 hours of backyard shooting. NO game action. Overall the real score is a 9/10 but since theres only 5 stars, I will give it a 4 due to the one issue I found.

Of course its forward heavy, it has like no stock weight at all. Add in the battery and you will want some type of forward grip, I found I personally like a vertical or one of Stark Equipment's 45 degree grips rather than a Magpul style AFG for support.

The battery compartment though has decent room BUT with the mock bolt actually sliding back and forth like the real steel, you CAN (I did) mess up the wires on your battery or worse yet the gun itself. Fortunately I just partially pulled the tamiya off the stick LiPo I used rather than messed up the gun's Do NOT wrap the wires around the barrel like you would most other forward wired guns as if someone plays with the bolt it will do something.

The range is good for a stock gun. I only was able to test it out to about 90 feet max and I felt that .25s would be perfect in it stock. .28s are alright, also tested with .32s and those were just pathetic.

For the rails, mine didn't so I assume none of them come with the stripper clip rail section like the G&G and Cymas do. Works for me, lets me custom make one that might hold better than they would. All of the other rails are fine and solid. The sling points are solid. The entire bloody gun is solid. The only rattle you will hear is the bbs in the high caps.

As for the magazine, I grabbed the Matrix mid cap, the one that DOESNT work with Classic Army and G&G and that is damn fine in the gun. Fed every round but the last 2-3 due to no pressure behind them, which is fine for me.
