My First AEG, Very Very Happy

Johnny Rotten · May 27th, 2005, 20:03

:-D Hi All :-D

Received my first AEG today and am so pleased with it, that I don't want to put it down. It's a TM SR-16 rifle that I ordered from Ranger's Airsoft. I also received 3 locap mags, 1 hi cap mag, battery pack and two bags of bb's. My rifle is jazzed up just a little with a tactical sling and a red dot sight. I am considering adding a silencer and maybe even a bipod. The battery pack is still charging, and should be ready soon for fun time. Here's two pics.

nice lookin piece

Ha Ha

I've got eye protection too, one of the first things I bought. No worries there.
I don't plan on being the star of a Ralphie red rider carbine action shoot your eye out scene. Did i get all that right with the carbine? I think it was a red rider carbine. Modern stuff is my preference though.

Cheers

I remember the first time I seen a AEG, the post dude dropped it off on my deck and when I woke up and went to leave the house it was there, along with a Sun Projects M203, That was as close as i have come to reliving childhood "Christmas Morning" phenomenon. I know how you feel, lol cherish it because after about 40K rounds and some mechanical failures you will grow to have a love/hate relationship with those things.

Before upgrading it cosmetically, get a metal body. The upper/lower housing WILL eventually snap (happend to me, also a proud owner of SR-16

). The metal housing would also reduce barrel wobble (although that is non-existant on the SR-16).

SR16 is a awsome gun

enjoy & play safely :cheers: :salute:

I wouldnt bother. Stay with the plastic body untill it breaks...then go metal. you'll get a few seasons out of it if you take good care of it.

BUT, I would avoide using the sling. The SR16 has terrible barrel wobbel and is VERY weak where the front end meets the reciever. I would strongly recommend AGAINST using a sling unless you have a metal body.

You see your RIS on the front, what I did was I pulled the upper hardgaurd cover back 2-3 inches so it covers both the RIS and the reciever rail. Its a quick, cheap fix to a big problem. It wont keep your gun from wobbling totally, but if you trip and fall, it may help keep it from snaping.

I own a SR16 and Im very happy with it. M4 benifits, with the ability to hold a large battery in the stock. Well balanced and makes for a good sniper platform.

good luck
