OK guys now I have been the owner of several TM guns and I recently purchase 2 Jin Gong AK's. A Spetz and a Dragunov. The Spetz is an exact duplicate of my boss's TM Spetz and when I say exact I mean exact. The gun chrono'd at 323fps w/ 0.20g bb consistently. It is a very straight shooter. The Spetz has been through several all day events and has not had one problem. The Dragunov is my most recent purchase. After the Spetz I had to have the Dragunov. This is a beastly gun... but I'm 6'7" and weigh in at over 450lbs so it fits me perfectly. I have played with this gun in a couple games. It chrono'd at 348fps w/ 0.20g bbs consistenly. Extremely accurate and good range. Both of these guns have alot of metal, are very heavy, well built, and are full TM compatible. They use V3 gearboxes. Good ROF on both guns and the dragunov is very quiet. I bought the first gun as a loaner/spare because I don't like letting people use my more expensive guns. But after what I have seen from these guns I would give my recommendation. I think China or at least Jin Gong is getting their act together at cloning these guns.

where did you get the Dragunov?

Probably this one.

I'm sure some US retailer carries it.

The initial reviews seems ok, but I would like to see what happens to the AEGs after 10k rounds. (Which TM, CA, G&P, etc are capable of)

I dunno mate, good on ya for gettin a gun with no issues ... another plus with AK's IMO.

Even so, at $85 USD for a complete AEG?? It just doesn't add up ... unless a bunch of Marui's or the like, fell off the back of a truck.

It's hard to convince some of us anyway. If it ain't Marui, G&P or even RS I'm not really interested.
