SRC guns question regarding mag compatability

[Dylan]

was looking at the new 3rd Gen SRCs on 007 airsoft and was wondering, Will TM M4 mags work in this? (I was thinking about the new PMAGs)

and while I'm asking how long would this gun last me Stock?(SRC M4 CQB Gen 3)

1) Yes, it should fit any mag that TM or based off the TM design. It *may* require some filing down or taping to make it thicker but it will fit.

2) As long as you want it to. Really I don't know but it probably will last a while before anything breaks and you have to repair it. It WILL break down though (as everything does) however it's not likely it will break down within the first few uses like some of the cheaper clones out there.

All you have to do is just not mess around with it. Play with it completely stock for a while (which it sounds like you're going to do) and once you get some experience and know what you want to achieve it will be easier to upgrade. I've heard once you crack open the gun even if you don't change anything you've reduced the reliability. I'm not sure how true that is but TBH I liken airsoft more to "magic" and less to actual engineering applications of why things work the way they do. It's messed up, just like Digital Design.... (For some reason my circuits seem to work by "magic" when I'm actually building it and it's sometimes totally different from the CAD design that I made).

Thank you for your help! Ive been reading the forum for a while now trying to get educated on the sport. Virtually nobody plays it were I am in Ontario. Ive only seen ppl with Walmart shit. I originally wanted a GBBR but changed my mind for now b/c it is not practical for a noob like myself. Mabye in a year or two down the road.

SRC , G&G , ICS , walmart...they are almost all in the same category my friend. We call them "cansoft" because they were modified with transparent receiver in order to be able to import in canada....

The best way , is to get age verified, if you want to be different than the "wal mart" kids ... This way, you will have access to from black body to full metal guns If you cannot be age verified...

Then stick with SRC, their value and quality are great.I would suggest to get the HK416 from SRC 3rd gen. It's awsome. Just awsome.

Thank you for the info, the one im referring to at walmart is a spring gun. Haven't even seen ppl here with AEGs. I think im going to get age Verified when I go to the airsoft convention in Toronto. Maybe if I have a AEG by then I will look on here after that for a metal Lower reviver. Unless they sell guns at the convention, would it be better to buy one there?

those are in no way the same as walmart guns. just because a gun is clear does not automaticly make it shit.

walmart guns have plastic gears and gearboxes and come with a 7.4 volt. i fail to see how that compares.

this attitude towards clear soft needs to change. asc has been screaming for years for the solution to the airsoft question... and now that we have it we turn our noses up at it. cant have your cake and eat it too.

Did you just compare the SRC, G&G and ICS cansoft lines to the shit being pumped out of Wal-Mart? Please shut the fuck up if you truly don't know what you're talking about. I'm not exactly the biggest fan of cansoft guns but to compare them to Wal-Mart soft air is nothing short of an insult.

- Yes they do fit and feed perfectly. I tried TM and MAG brand mags with mine....
- yes the gun should last, I've had mine for 2 years now.... Only had to change the hopup rubber....

alright thank you! I take it that if I get the CQB version I cant use a Magpul CTR stock?, because the battery in the CQB is in the crane stock

Yes you still can but the battery will either have to be in a better bag on the stock or rewired to the front to use with a PEQ box.

You could probably get a small LiPo in there. I think there's even a stock tube specifically for the CTR that's meant for LiPo.
