A&K US Army SOCOM Type M24 Airsoft Bolt Action Scout Sniper Rifle w/ Fluted Barrel

"GREAT sniper rifle... That's it 10/10

Pros:
Accurate :p
realistic
sturdy (besides stock)
magazines are cheap
the texture on the rifle makes it easy to spray paint (if you want too)

Cons:
Bolt is very stiff either get a new one or lube it before every game
stock is obviously hollow feels cheap (only the stock)

Overall I recommend this rifle the only problem I had with it is the scope was very limited so it is not centered right...

"This rifle is a great buy. It probably shoots about 450 fps (I didn't chrono), looks great, and I can hit a man sized target from over 100 yds with .3g bbs. The stock is a nice strong plastic, and has a good textured finish. Everything that is metal on a real M24 is metal. It is easy to take down for cleaning/upgrading, and feels solid. The only things I don't like about it (I'm a stickler) is that the inner barrel rattles slightly if you hit the rifle against the round. Barrel spacers or tape could probably fix this. Also, I can't figure out where to buy extra mags.

Pros:
High fps
Long range
Accurate
Authentic feel
Heavy
solid
easy takedown

Cons:
slight inner barrel wobble

"This is a great replica of the M24 sniper rifle. Was eyeing on the Classic Army one but this is way better. Don't be fooled by the price, it is just as good or better.

The Classic Army M24 is a design from about 6 years ago, for anyone looking for a M24, I highly recommend this one instead for the following few reasons.

Same construction / built.
Easier to work on APS system
Higher FPS out of the box (470 compare to 330 FPS)
M U C H more affordable
You can find spare mags here at Evike.com
Scope ready bipod ready

I will post more after I play with it for a few more months, it is constructed very well and seems like a rifle to last.

"Good sniper but you can’t upgrade the spring. The pressure of a more powerful spring will rip the piston cylinder apart from the bolt. You would need a reinforced cylinder.

"Solid gun, nice weight to it, butt adjuster wobbles around a bit and the barrel and front of stock don't touch without holding together, which could be causing my feed issues. Good rifle for the price

"Got this gun 3 months ago and have had 0 problems, other than the wobbly stock(very common due to it being adjustable) everything works fine, bolt is a bit heavy to pull back but you get used to it, maximum effect range is 225-250 ft, At 200 ft I was hitting a 4 liter milk jug!!

PROS
affordable
Good construction
Powerful
Range
Easy hop up

CONS
wobbly stock
Gun is pretty heavy around 12-14 pounds

"For the price i think this is the best sniper rifle to start off with if you want to be the role of the sniper.
One major issue was the mag would not go all the way and i would have to click it in with my hand instead of pushing it in. Which would lead to feeding issues but i fixed it so its all good.

Pros:
1. Feels Realistic
2. Comfortable Rifle
3. Orange tip is removable
4. Setting it up is easy
5. Comes with 2 magazines

Cons:
1. Magazines sometimes don't go all the way in
2. Spring Pull is heavy(VERY HEAVY)
3. Very Heavy(I'd say if your any age lower than 13 don't get it)
4. Safety switch is very loose but can be fixed by tightening it with the flat head screw drive they give you.

So overall besides that mag issue this rifle is definitely a good starter and good deal.

"I got this gun today. Came in two pieces. The stock piece and the barrel with the bolt attached, Went together really easily with a nice, solid fit. Doesn't wobble at all. I was barely able to fit a 4x scope on the top rail, but i did and sighted it in. Was hitting a small wind-mill fan from about 50 meters away. The bolt takes some force to get it back, but again it is spring operated. Really wish mags would be easier to find, but i was thinking or trying some snow wolf m24 magazines and see if they would fit. Kinda heavy, but all in all its a very good rifle, and on sale for 88 dollars! Would recommend to a friend. And again, i really wish mags were more available. 9/10

"It's ok with the price
It's like someone assembled it uncarefully and put it in the package
had to fix several things after I took it out of the package, fps wasn't as high as advertised.
the safe was easy to break apart, I glued it back on with super glue
unremovable orange tip
bolt was loose until I tighten it with Allen key
a screw in the trigger system was missing and the other screw was loose

"The one i got clocked I at 370 and lower, and was all over the place.

Front trigger box screw is stripped, bolt handle loose, inner barrel is loose inside the outer barrel.

However - if you can tech, get it. Won't be able to get a steel sear 90 degree trigger, ss cylinder, steel guide rod and aluminum piston anywhere else for ~$100.

"Had a problem with the mag loading into the gun, I have to press on the mag to load the next round, and the trigger part is very flimsy, watch that you don't accidentally drop it and lose it.

If you do, electric tape is your best friend.

Also watch that you don't move the hop up accidentally which you can access easily even after assembling the gun so you don't have to dismantle it to adjust it.

Otherwise, shoots far enough and feels good to shoot.

On a personal side not, don't hand this to your best friend or a friend that'll man handle it. That was my biggest mistake. I unboxed it and put it together with a home intruder and he just punished that gun and probably busted it.
