Just received the AGM MP40 this week. Had it apart to check things out and for the price - NO COMPLAINTS! Fired a few mags through it and it works fine. Going to use it tomorrow airsofting. Will post and let you know how it performs after a day's use. In comparison with the TOP MP40 - this gun isn't anywhere near as nice in looks (ie finish), cause it has a satin black finish and the TOP guns have the 'blued' look which is much more authentic. Obviously, these guns are made cheaper and thats the look you get.

Overall, definitely worth purchasing - they WORK and they look and feel pretty good.

Having stripped both guns and laid them out side-by-side, only big difference is where the gearbox is mounted, its slightly further away compared to the top, so will need a bit of drilling (elongate hole) to make it fit, but it should fit with that modification. Both pistol grips fit fine. The TOP side guards, need slight trimming to fit the AMG box as well. The major problem, is the mag well area - the chinese one has a plastic insert whereas the TOP insert is metal. There will be a problem getting that out as its fused together.

Going to try putting the chinese parts into the TOP MP 40, as we have a spare one and will let you know how we get on.

The select fire switch - we're going to try and rig up some kind of a hidden rod, basically for decompressing the spring. As these MAGS are only 30-50 rounds, they empty in seconds, although we have converted UZI hi-caps and they work fine in them.

PS: Your TOP mags - if you strip them and turn the insides around, they will fit into this new chinese gun - saves buying more mags.

Will put pics up once we have time to get this done.

Cheers from Scotland!!
