A&K x SP Systems Custom Vietnam Era M60 Airsoft AEG Machine Gun

"I was incredibly skeptical of this MMG as I had one of the early a&k M60's back in 2011 and it was plagued with problems.

It seems a&k rectified a lot of these issues.

Pros:

-they have upgraded the gearbox with better quality beveled gears.

-they updated/upgraded the hop up/Hop-up unit(it now comes flat hopped stock and I don't experience the sealing issues I did on my old m60 from the barrel assembly shifting when lying prone with the bipod deployed. Great hop up our of the box, the thing has some serious range.

-the gun is shooting roughly 1.3 joules consistently with .25 bbs

-boxmag doesn't seem to give me any issues, even if it does attach to the gun at an awkward angle(surprisingly.

-the SP Systems version is historically accurate(the selector switch is the correct one vs the ambidextrous one that isn't). Also, the review above/below me complains it's plasticity(assuming they're referencing the stock and the foregrip), these are also historically accurate vs the matte black on the base a&k m60.

-overall seems more sturdy than my old one(no Allen screws have come loose or anything), but time will tell. I fielded it once so far without any issues.


Cons:

-the opening in the feed tray for the -boxmag is still in the incorrect position(the tube flexes, but I havent have any feeding issues. Still, I don't like it).

-doesnt come with the era-correct flash hider(luckily I had one from my old m60 to recycle, but still, for $725, this gun should definitely include it).

*This is more evokes fault than a&ks* when this gun arrived, it didn't shoot. I discovered the wires for the connector were apparently cut. I don't know if this gun was a display or a return, but I had to strip the wires, connect them with some electrical tape, and it fired right up. Evike accepted my return request, but I ended up keeping it because it hasnt been an issue since I fixed it. Still, Evike. What is Quality Control?

In any case, as I mentioned, I'm not faulting a&k for this, so I'm giving this gun 5 stars.

"its ok not bad but ok i little snappy but plasticy
