MORE INDEPTH REVIEW:

If you're looking for a gas blow back rifle that will work like charm and do everything you want or need, this is the piece for you. I run propane and matrix BBs and have yet to have a misfeed, double feed or jam of any kind. So far I haven't touched the hop up or modded it in any way and it's spinning like a top. The trigger is crisp and the reset is out of this world sharp and snaps into engagement. The machining is precise and came with zero manufacture defects. All in all, its a great piece and worth every penny. I have a lot of experience with WE and Evike and both are companies I trust to sell me a good product. It gets compliments left and right and competes strongly with the modded out AEGs people spent twice as much on.

NO. This airsoft gun is a replica of a gun from the 1960s so you wont have any of that speed tac mumbo jumbo like top rails for your eotech or forward rails for a mini vert grip. The XM177 is the perfect choice for someone who is serious and wants to work on real fundamentals during mil sim or the hard dude who's load out is an H harness and an OD bandana. (Platoon reference anyone?)

The first thing you want to do when you open the box is read WE's manual, field strip it and use silicone lube to lube all your sliding parts/gas valves and grease any meeting parts (where "bolt" meets buffer etc.). Use good silicone lube. Evike has great lube for a great price highly recommended. This airsoft gun definitely requires maintenance, more maintenance then any AEG. But, just like anything of quality, if you treat it with care it'll last. Quality spare parts and upgrades are sold right here at Evike to ensure longevity, convenience and can make this great piece perform even better.

The Evike Team is very helpful, operators, tech team, and especially their outpost employees. They can, and will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

10/10 will probably buy another

"The XM177 has always been one of my favorite AR type rifles.

This gun has great build quality with no front end wobble and a very acceptable amount of play in the stock.

It shoots hard, has a great kick, and has been reliable for me, although I am only a target shooter

The 20 round magazine is/was leak free. This gun also works with the 30 round magazines with no problems.

The gun is very easy to service and clean

I would VERY SERIOUSLY recommend--BEFORE TAKING YOUR FIRST SHOT--to add some shims to the bolt catch so that it has no side to side play, but still pivots freely. Also, grind down the bolt catch so that it has greater travel. While the bolt catch is out, apply some JB weld or similar material to the area where the little lifter in the magazine makes contact--about a millimeter or so. Search google/youtube for easy directions on these mods. These mods will not only make the bolt catch work more reliably, but it will extend its life.

The gun comes with a barrel wrench.
