"I bouht this gun like 5 months ago, is just amazing. That blowback
by James M. on 05/13/2014
"Finally got this gun in yesterday and I am a huge fan already. The weight and feel of the rifle is just pristine. The recoil gives a very responsive kick and adds to the realism I was a after when I bought this gun. The rails add more than enough room for any optics/lighting/camera/etc. I am also very impressed with the design internals wise( minus the hop up). The recoil mechanism is located in the stock so you really feel it when you fire the weapon. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a high amount of realism and who wants to scare the ever living piss out of someone when you pull the trigger.
PROS
good weight
Fantastic recoil
Very good design
Comfortable to hold
Full metal
CONS
THIS DANG HOPUP IS THE DUMBEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED IN MY AIRSOFT CAREER -.-

"I bought this and the gun works very well. The gun has a medium amount of wear and tear and a very nice fps. I used this gun in multiple games and dominated the battlefield with this. I think this is one of the best gbbs out there.
Pros:
great fps
great to use
reliable full metal
Cons:
gas hog
heavy
extra mags take awhile to ship
P.S. Don't mix up green gas and co2!

"So, this is an amazing rifle. Its my first gbbr and i really like it. I've had it for 4 freaking days although I'm not sure exactly what happened but, their was a feeding problem with the we-tech co2 mags and a jam of 13 bb's (.28). I un-jammed it and then when I shot it the mag & nozzle wouldn't feed the bb into the chamber. at this point I got mad and gave up.

"The range was much better than all the aegs I have ever had, it is loud, intimidating, the co2 mags did 520 fps and had a little better range but the only thing is the magazine capacity being so low and having full auto (a good way to waste ammo) semi dose the job. This gun ought to be used a a sniper rifle (because of the amazing range, 250ft) unless you want to pay $120 for 3 extra mags and play auto style. I returned it because the hand guard was lose and the mag was kind of messed up and because on semi you had to push the trigger forward to fire again. that being said if you buy this gun the chances are that it will work fine and last you for over 10 years with replacements along the way.
remember that I am giving the gun I got three stars NOT Evike they get 6 out of 5 on customer service.
hope this was helpful!

"Good Gun when it works...
This rifle is outstanding when it works, but if you run CO2 you need to basically upgrade the entire internals with RA-Tech, so be prepared to spend another $200+ just on building up the internals. The stock bolt warped under the pressure of CO2, so replaced with the complete RA-Tech bolt which requires using a dremel tool to adjust the aftermarket bolt, as well as bolt catch. (instructions available on many forums and chats) Don't forget a steel RA-Tech hop-up housing, as well as an upgraded hop-up bucking. Now the rifle gets hung up on the hammer and needed to be replaced with the aftermarket RA-Tech trigger group. Throw in the Angry Gun recoil in this and you have a kick that is as close to my real steel AR-15 as possible. Making it an awesome Milsim rifle, as long as you are taking care of it, taking it apart and cleaning it this rifle will serve you well, however, may not be the best rifle for someone looking to get into GBBR without tech knowledge or how to work on guns, granted there is lots of instructional videos on Youtube if you are confident enough.
Pros:
+Realistic Weight
+Great Recoil
+Realistic breakdown and action
+Loud and crisp firing
+Tons of rail space for all accessories
+Excellent Training rifle
+Solid externals
+Extra 123A (x2) Battery storage in pistol grip
Cons:
-Requires complete internal upgrades
-CO2 Mags are a pain to load and takes time
-30 round mags great for milsim, but outmatched by high-cap HPA systems on most fields (Resist HPA)
-Spare Mag price and amount needed for large ops
-Not beginner friendly
-Expensive to operate (CO2/green gas, silicon lube AR tool kit if you don't already have one)
-Cannot maintain a full magazine on full auto due to gas bleed-off
-Color of rifle doesn't exactly match Magpul Flat dark earth as well as others traditional FDE/DE
Final Thoughts:
This is an amazing gun that after a lot of extra parts are put into it works amazing and is a personal favorite. With completely upgraded internals and a TBB I'm shooting around 480fps (adjustable with NPAS) with .20s but run .25/.28s and is incredibly accurate and consistent with the CO2 mags. Staying in Semi-auto (Highly recommended) you can get about a mag and a half on CO2, however you will only fire about 20 rounds if you try suppressing fire on full auto. The realism of this rifle adds to the in-depth experience. However if you are new to airsoft I would advise to shy away from this GBBR and something more beginner user friendly. If you are up for the challenge of this rifle, and put in the work she will quickly become your favorite.

"This was an amazing gun and I loved it. It had an awesome body's and amazing accuracy. My love for it disappeared when all of the other mags I bought with it refused to click into place in the mag well

"The receivers are slightly wobbly.
It has ugly trademarks on the gun that aren't pictured in any of the images on this website. Had I known this I would not have purchased this gun.
But...
It performs really well out of the box.
Not the most in depth review, but most of the other reviews have summed it up fairly accurately.

"Alright i started off thinking that this gun could stand a little bit of CO2 use before i got the RA tech upgrades...well i was entirely wrong i put the mag in shot fantastic for like 3 mags worth then its not working so i pop the pin check whats going on and where the real extractor would be all the way in the back had actually ripped apart and my friend and i tried to repair it well that didn't work.But staying on track it was a rather nice gun for the first couple mags felt amazing to shoot and looked great too little sad there wasn't trade marks but we cant have it all. Its rather accurate and feels nice in the hands but this is the last time I try GBB. So all in all buy the gun if you want to put upgrades in it as soon as you get it or run green gas with it till the upgrades then try more stuff. Along with that watch out for your trigger box it can go bad with extensive use on full auto or rapid semi-auto fire.

"This gun is a MASSIVE POS. AVOID AT ALL COSTS. Bought as a gift for my husband on Christmas and when he opened the box it was broken in half between the barrel and the upper receiver. There were no signs of shipping damage since the box looked completely intact.
Received a replacement a week later thru evike's RMA process. Husband took the gun out again but this time the fire select switch decided to completely shear itself off when trying to go into full auto. Great job WE-TECH! Glad to see my husband's cheap, GF76 can hold up to more abuse than your full metal (or lack thereof) rifle!

"I bought this gun a few months ago anticipating using it this spring. I was a professional auto mechanic for 9 years, and I work on real steel firearms as a hobby. So I can honestly say I'm mechanically inclined. I need to express that this gun is not worth the cardboard its shipped in.
The quality is overall cheap. I'm afraid to take the gun to a game because of how fragile the metal is. I already cracked the lower receiver replacing the original trigger guard that was falling off because of poor quality.
I've only used the magazine 3 times to do FPS testing, and it began to leak. I attempted to fix the problem without success. I identified the leak but was unable to put the follower spring back into place. Something I've done many times on real steel for preventive maintenance. The design of the green gas magazine is unnecessarily complicated with many potential failure points.
DO NOT BUY THIS GUN! I'm getting rid of it like the plague as soon as possible.
