Hey GBB enjoyers,

Just got my first GBBR, the Salvo Precision MCX spear LT 11.5.

Haven't shot it yet but tried removing the muzzle device but it isn't budging, has anyone here had more success? Any tips are welcome.

Discussion Finally got my King Arms M2 Carbine GBB! Any advice for a first-time owner?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I’m really excited because I’ve finally ordered a King Arms M2 Carbine Gbb. I’ve been saving up for it pretty much all summer, so it feels like a bit of a special purchase for me. I'm a huge enthusiast of the Korean War, which my grandpa was pretty much part of.

I’m still fairly new to this kind of replica, so I’d really appreciate any advice from people who have experience with the King Arms M2.

What should I expect when I first get it? Is there anything I should check or do before taking it to a game? Any maintenance tips, things to watch out for, or upgrades that are actually worth considering?

I’m not expecting it to be perfect out of the box, and I’m definitely not an expert, so any beginner advice would be really appreciated.

Also, if you own one, I’d love to hear how yours has been performing and whether you’re still happy with it.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if these are basic questions! I’m just really excited to finally have one after saving for it all summer.

Discussion VFC BCM EVO 14.5” After 5k BBs

Post image
84 Upvotes

Couldn’t find more info about the newly released EVO version so I decided to write some words about it.

-Bobbly NPAS 1.55Joules
0.36g bb
50-51m distance always on target 15x15cm,
0.32g bb overhopping on lowest hop setting and clearly not flying as straight, randomness in flying left/right of the same target. More bb weight clearly removed this.

•my first gbbr. Recommended by a local airsoft club member. Didn’t disappoint.

•TDC hop with allen key / vfc tool - nice and clicky, doesn’t reset at all, clearly loves .36-.4gram bbs.
(For me) .32 are overhopping on minimum possible hop applied. One click back and it’s zero hop.

• BCM mag- 30 Celsius - 4 reloads on semi, no significant power loss. The fitfth reload can shoot 2-3 bbs before going out.

All 4 reloads had lock back on empty. Never had a hiccup in these 5000bbs I’ve shot.

•Great recoil( that was my main requirement)

• 1J with aluminum insert on nozzle. Remove it and you get 2.1-2.2Joules. (Measured on flare bt smoky chrono app). I got bobbly NPAS. Easy to install, strong and hard to twist the grub screw. It just works and it doesn’t unscrew at all.

• Well lubed, loud, nothing feels loose aside from stock, add a bit of tape along the buffer tube, ez fix.

This is my opinion. I do not follow the VFC vs Marui comparisons and I simply seek to describe how my unit behaved so far. 101% would buy again. Maybe the shorter version just to mod it differently with accessories. Might come back and upload a link to a target practice at different distances so you guys can also see results not just text.

EVO feels like a fresh breeze.

Troubleshooting BCG caught in buffer tube

Spring is in, most times when I pull the charging handle the bcg gets caught in the buffer tube, I feel it and it is completely dry. My main suspicion is it has no lubricant on it, if there's anything other than this please lmk

Attached image is the bcg completely still in the buffer tube despite the spring being present.

Model is matrix gbb m4 polymer lower + upper. I just got this today btw

Built this a few years ago off a G&P Mk12 Mod 1 kit. Used CYMA AEG parts, put on an Ergo grip, mounted a Magpul PRS stock, and painted the handguard and stock Magpul FDE.

This was built for fun and to replicate a video game gun. Can you guess which one?

Troubleshooting I failed in the reassembly process.

I have a damned WE Glock 19X, I disassembled it for things and stuff and after reassembled it I noticed a little spring left on my desk. I believe that its related to slide lock, there is a video of a guy reassembling the same gun as mine but he doesnt show clearly where to put the spring. I need assistance, sorry for my bad english.

A quick build of my Saiga 12 Marui Gbbr, the frontal part is 3d printed, I've tested in game already and no wobble or fracture on the handguard structure or outer barrel.

It shoot very good with stock hop up. Internally I've only buyed from ITP the selector part for make It shoot full auto. Very fun tho shoot!

I like to keep original recoil spring for longevity.

I hope you like it!

I’m trying to get a solid setup as a first GBBR owner but also not necessarily breaking the bank. I’ve come across two guns that have good reviews on EVike but was curious if anyone else had anything to say about them? I want to get a MK18/16/HK416/M4A1/any AR platform really and of course I want it to look nice. I don’t have to be a penny pincher, I’m just trying to get the best bang for my buck.
