Supporters TheFull9 Posted January 28, 2022 Supporters Posted January 28, 2022 Just running through my options but let's see if I've missed anything. Has to be: -Realistic representation of some actual firearm -Good externals, can always get the insides done -Not fussed on budget -No 417s or anything else with ultra wide mags I've also dismissed M14s because I don't love the looks or the mags. Current considerations are: -TM SCAR H -LCT G3 -G&G SR25 Chime off. Tackle and Impulse 2
Dentonboy Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 PSG-1 because it is awesome. Am assuming the newer ones (LCT?) are the dog's danglies externally.
RostokMcSpoons Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) I'm going to suggest the SA58 because I only recently learned it's a thing, and I like FALs https://www.pellpax.co.uk/airsoft-bb-guns/airsoft-rifles/aeg-operated-bb-airsoft-rifle/classic-army-aeg-sa58-rifle/3344 https://jdairsoft.net/asg-dsa-sa-58-osw I have no idea if they're any good, or which is the best to get... I just think they're cool Edited January 28, 2022 by RostokMcSpoons Paul72, Pappa Large and Tackle 2 1

There are a number of variants available other than traditional stock, pistol grip full stock or the obvious ebr models immediately come to mind?

johnnyj Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I would be looking at the g3 ,msg,sg1 and PSG all super nice looking. Tm scar h ... hate the fecking thing lol Sr25 done to death . Sa58s are nice but getting a solid ca is hard and mids are hit and miss ( on offer for $10 on tiger atm )
Tactical Pith Helmet Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I have a lower order of G3 than the lovely LCT. Not a patch on my M14 TBH. ? Tackle 1
concretesnail Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 There's the g&g 308 range with a range of models all having different barrel lengths Tactical Pith Helmet 1
PopRocket123 Posted January 28, 2022 Posted January 28, 2022 I like the SCAR. Really easy to design around as it's all metric. That or a gas G3. Tactical Pith Helmet, TheFull9, Paul72 and 1 other 4
Cannonfodder Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I've always liked the MC51 TheFull9 and Tackle 2
DerDer Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Still waiting on the long promised FN FALs be it the re-release of King Arms or VFC GBBR. How about a G&G Type 64? Pricey but very little info out there on in.
Iceni Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Out of the box, I'd probably head towards the SCAR-H. It's the least likely to need any modification to run perfectly. The LCT G3 out of the box seems to be a little more hit and miss. I didn't get lucky with mine, It was externally very good but had a few gearbox niggles, and the Mid caps took a fair bit of time to work out. Others have given up on the midcaps, High caps are pretty flawless.
Impulse Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 Saw the topic, ready to preach the good word of the m14... Then I read the post. I'm leaving now and I'm taking my collection of various beautiful m14s with me ? TheFull9 and Tackle 1 1

Supporters TheFull9 Posted January 29, 2022 Author Supporters Posted January 29, 2022 Er.. nope, didn't. I'm still on the fence admittedly because the VFC that's around looks great and the closest competitors are the G&G SR25 and TM SCAR but I can't find a sub 16" SR25 nor do I massively want what is now the 'old' model of SCAR, but 417 mags won't agree with my load carrying kit very well either and I cannot personally get along with quad rails on AR derivatives with my little girl hands. Also not sure on compatibility of RS handguards with the VFC and given the gas system they'll still be super fat even if they do fit. There's no perfect option but I usually spend a year or two making decisions like this tbh.
Hatchet Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 I'd say Lambda Defence MK48, but I'm guessing you mean battle rifles rather than just anything in that calibre. Silverback MDR... whenever it eventually gets released. Otherwise, Classic army do a 13" and 10" SR25 - http://classicarmyshop.com/proline/sr-25andm110/m110-10-keymod.html - slightly proprietary hop though (unsurprisingly).

concretesnail Posted January 29, 2022 Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) G&g do a metal mag for 308 range, if you want that sr25 look. Not cheap though. https://www.surplusstore.co.uk/manufacturers/g-g/g-g-g2h-308-metal-magazine-100rd-mid-cap.html Edited January 29, 2022 by concretesnail

Hell's teeth man! You're supposed to buy on impulse, decide it's not quite right and buy another on impulse as an addition. If you've small hands the controls, especially the safety, may be a little awkward to use on the G3. TheFull9 and Pappa Large 2
