Please note that the pictures of this gun were taken after I removed the DOC marking and painted the tip so a mock silencer can be equiped. Appearance When I opened the MK 23's box and held it in my hand, the first thing I noticed was the excellent finish. If I didn't know better, I would have thought they sent me a gas blow back. The slide is painted ultra-flat black. It looks like metal and is extremely realistic. The grip is flat black but also textured, which looks very nice and feels even better. With this textured finish, you won't need to worry about dropping your gun. Although the all of the HK trademarks have been removed, there are other markings on the gun. These include Tokyo Mauri Co., a serial number, and several .45 markings. It comes with an orange barrel tip. Although it is legal to remove this (as long as it is not sold or shipped), I would have to recommend leaving it on if possible. This way it can be recognized as an airsoft replica and not a real firearm. Another strong point of the MK 23 is its weight. Although it's a large pistol, it is light enough to have minimal effect on your aiming, and not cause fatigue from use. On the other hand, it's not light like a toy. It is the perfect weight and it feels solid in your hand. It is also extremely durable. I have dropped it a few times and it has no scratches or dents whatsoever. It has also been dry fired (not recommended) a good amount of times. After all of these incidents, it still looks and performs just like new. Features This gun has many realistic features. My personal favorite is the working hammer. The firing mechanism is similar to its real steel counterpart so the hammer is extremely realistic. When the slide is racked, the hammer stays in the cocked position until the trigger is pulled. This is not the only way the hammer functions. It also has double-action. This means if the gun is not cocked, and you pull the trigger, the hammer cocks and releases, similar to a real .45. The hammer can also be released by the trigger if you cock it back without racking the slide. The MK 23 has an open ejection port, which is helpful in removing jammed bb's. I have not had to do this because it has not jammed on me yet. One of the most helpful features on this pistol is the full size magazine. It can hold 26 bb's. That's more than the UHC mp5sd3 can hold. For those of you that will be using this gun for springer battles, you'll have an edge over the competition. While your opponents are reloading you'll be shooting. This is a definite advantage. Lastly, the gun has a threaded barrel and a built on accessory rail. These are for attaching accessories such as a mock silencer and a laser. These accessories are also available from MFI. Performance The performance of this gun is amazing. It is the most accurate and powerful spring pistol I have ever used. You can easily hit a human sized target from over 60ft away. I played a couple of games with a friend, with one of us using the Mark 23 SOCOM and the other using my UHC mp5sd3. Every game was won by the person using the Mark 23 SOCOM. They seemed to have a great advantage over the other player, both in accuracy and in range. As I stated earlier, this gun has excellent accuracy. This being a pistol, I only did close range accuracy tests. These test were done indoors, with a standard target from the distances of 10ft and 20ft. At 10ft the groupings were tight. About an 1.5" apart. Although this may seem strange, the groupings were even tighter at 20ft, being only 1" apart. This shows that the Mark 23 SOCOM definitely has hop-up set perfectly for the high-grade .25g bb's included. Accuracy is also exceptionally good at longer ranges. In the games that I played, I easily hit someone's arm hanging out of their bunker 50ft away. That is great for a spring gun, especially a pistol . The Mark 23 SOCOM also has plenty of power. I did not have access to a chronograph but I did test this in other ways. One of those ways was shooting a shoe box. It easily pierced one side of the double thick cardboard and left a hole in the other. I also shot a couple of old CD's. The bb cracked one and shattered the other. After these tests and comparing the results with those of my UHC mp5sd3 (which shoots 265 fps), I have come to the conclusion that the Mark 23 SOCOM shoots 230-250fps. The range on this pistol is phenomenal. In fact, it has the best range of any stock spring pistol I have seen. In my side yard, I tested the maximum range and the flat trajectory. The maximum range seems to be around 100ft. That's the highest range of any spring pistol I have ever seen, or used. You won't have to worry about arching your shots because its flat trajectory is around 60ft. Accessories Compared to other spring pistols, the Mark 23 SOCOM has a great amount of available accessories and possible modifications. It comes with a built on rail for mounting accessories. On this rail, several different things can be mounted. They include lasers, lights, and the combination of the two, the LAM. This gun also features a threaded barrel for mounting silencers. There are several different ones, each with a unique look, and different results. These do not silence the gun, but some add a slight bit of accuracy and power. Conclusion After gathering this information and comparing the results from all of these tests, I conclude that the Mark 23 SOCOM is the best spring pistol available. It has better accuracy, range, power, and durability than any other spring pistol on the market. It features an open ejection port, an accessory rail, a threaded barrel, and a full size, 26 round magazine. It has an excellent finish and looks better than any other pistol I have come across. It is by far, my favorite spring pistol. Should you have any other questions about the Tokyo Mauri Mark 23 SOCOM, please feel free to email me at rocker97x@hotmail.com. -Happy Hunting, Alex K.

Of all the springers I have tried from UHC, HFC, Y&P, 3PSA (Korean contract), or Daisy, KWC is by far my favorite springer manufacturer as of this piece: the KWC G17. Being a Glock, the gun is contoured nicely, this translates into easy handling, which translates yet again into great out of the box accuracy (combined with the fact that the Glock IS very accurate). Handling, to me, is paramount to any airsoft, after all, if you can't easily use the gun effectively, why get it in the first place? (Besides as a show piece =) The sights are non-adjustable but are accurate. The slide pull is smooth and easy despite the guns power. The grips and lower frame are very finely textured, giving the gun a very authentic feel despite the lightweight. The box states weight as 360 grams, about thirteen ounces. The gun is very balanced, twirling it around your fingers is no problem at all =). The gun sports some fake trademarks, saying KWC in a 'box' where it should say Glock on the slide. The frame also has some serial numbers on it. The magazine holds thirteen rounds and is both brilliantly, and stupidly constructed. The spring does lock down in a rather strange way. Instead of having a piece of metal that pivots outwards and locks into a cut in the magazine, the spring is pulled all the way down and locks itself into a divot at the bottom. This is good because you cannot discharge the spring without pressing the side of the magazine. This reduces the number of times the spring and follower accidentally slips while loading the magazine. Now for the brilliant/idiotic part, to actually load the bbs into the magazine, once you have the spring down you have to press a lever that covers the hole in which you load the bbs into. This lever pivots up (and has a spring under it so when you take pressure off it drops, covering the hole again) leaving the hole exposed so you can just drop bbs in. This is great if you have a speed loader, you can easily load 13 rounds if you are using it as a primary in a springer game. However, this is also very poorly designed at the same time. Extra magazines, because of this lever, would be VERY hard to reliably carry as if it is loaded, and the lever is bumped: no more loaded bbs! Overall however being "limited" to one magazine generally satisfies my uses. Function wise the gun has a on frame safety, magazine release and a actual working trigger safety! By far the neatest thing I've ever seen on a springer. The slide release unfortunately is molded and does not serve any purpose. The gun can also be stripped with the help of a few tools. A pencil or toothpick plus a Phillips head screwdriver is needed to take apart the gun. First, locate the pin on the grip towards the back of the gun; push this out with the toothpick. After that is done, flip the gun over so the magazine well faces you, there should be a screw on the underside of the gun in front of the trigger guard. Unscrew this and the slide should be able to be pulled off, the internals will be kept in the slide. Reverse the process to put the gun back together. Power wise, this is the strongest springer I have held. Using .2 gram bbs as the hop-up is set for .2 it can shoot through thick cardboard boxes at short ranges, which is more than I can say of my KWC M92 Super heavy on 134a gas! The springer probably in the range of .4 to .6 joules, or around 210 to 250 FPS with a .2-gram bb! The accuracy of the gun is superb as well. Although this is hardly a scientific test, on my first try from 25 feet outdoors with no wind, I managed a <2-inch grouping with 13 shots! In conclusion, despite the fact that the pistol only holds 13 rounds and extra magazines are not too feasible to carry, this gun would make a EXCELLENT sidearm, quite possibly even in an AEG dominated game. In a springer only game, this gun would most likely have the upper hand in both power, accuracy, and range as it is stronger than any springer I have come across, more accurate, and uses .2-gram bbs so it will be less affected by wind, just be sure to take the time to line up your shots! (You'll need every one of them =) - KingofFoolsTony

Tokyo Marui Glock 17L Spring







Introduction



This gun I have is… old. I mean, my Dad bought it before I even played airsoft! Perhaps I could right a review about it.



This is the Tokyo Marui Glock 17L Spring. It is a longer version of the G17, my friend’s got the 17, testing them, the 17L is more accurate because it has a longer barrel.



Looks





This Glock has all the Glock looks. The main difference from other Glocks is the longer barrel and slide. It looks a bit weird, but I got used to it after a few days.



Like all Tokyo Marui guns, this Glock has all the trademarks:



Slide: Left hand side: Glock 17L Austria 9x19



Grip: Left hand side: Glock logo; Right hand side: Tokyo Marui Co. Ltd., Made in Tokyo, Japan.



Magazine: Base: Glock Logo







Feel



The TM G17L is VERY light. The only weight I can feel is the magazine. Other parts are all plain plastic, although they are high quality. It has metal inner barrel and spring.





The trigger has this little thing in the middle which is a safety. You have to press it in order to pull the whole trigger down and fire. This is also a nice little feature.





The other safety is under the ejection port where there is a thing which can be pushed up and down. It is very hard to push so you have to use both hands. Down for SAFE and up for FIRE.



Performance



Shooting the first TM springer I’ve ever fired, it was more powerful than I thought it would be. I pulled back the slide and shot at the target paper. It made a big deep hole in it. After a few shots, I got the middle. This is the most powerful springer I’ve ever shot.





Skrimish



The week after I tried the gun out I was out with my cousins. We went to a place where they are loads of tall grass and played an easy game there.



First of all, I shot one of them with one shot and then he called out. The other time my team was trying to shoot with his Mini-electric but it all went in different directions. I smiled to myself as the person ducked into the grass, then I shot into the grass and heard it hit something. Then the person called himself out.





Pros:



- solid, tough

- very accurate and powerful

- hop up



Cons.



- too light

- sometimes annoying because you need to cock every time to shoot (that’s spring)



Conclusion



I recommend this gun to any airsoft players who’re looking for a cheap and powerful springer. It is also a nice gun for collectors.

HFC M9 ELITE Comp.





Introduction




Normally my parents wouldn’t let me buy guns all the time but this year they let me buy one. I was bored with AEGs so I went into a local gun shop and looked for a springer. Finally I made my decision- HFC M9 ELITE Comp. In some sites it’s called the M9 ELITIST or M92F Comp. I’m not quite sure, if I’m wrong, please tell me.

Feel




The gun was quite heavy even though it looked very plasticy but it was good quality stuff (it weighed around 700 g, which made the gun weigh like the real thing). It was a little bit unbalanced, but after a while I got used to it. I wrapped my hands in it again. The smooth grip suited me wonderfully. I lowered my finger onto the trigger. It felt like a really solid thing which made me smile. Many other springers I have, had quite a few problems with the trigger, but the M9 ELITE Comp. is behaving nicely so far. The trigger and the hammer are made of metal, which is also a great feel.

Looks




I just love the look of M9 ELITE Comp. It looks tactical and solid. With the fat grip and handsome slide, it is just impossible for anyone to not like it.

The magazine is double stacked and holds around 22 BBs (if you load more they will come out of a ‘loading hole’). Generally the magazine is solid and flat, which makes it easy to grab hold of.

The sights are just as good. The front sight has a white dot but the rear sight is just blank. You can cut and stick a piece of U shaped thing on it if you want to.





Performance




I never thought a $20 Taiwanese springer would come out to be so powerful. I put a target around 25 metres away from me in my back yard and fired 20 rounds. All of them rounds hit the black area without any problem.

The M9 ELITE Comp. has a lack of accuracy. At 50 metres only 17 out of 20 hit the target paper.

I read in most writings that the gun’s power is 260 fps but it felt more than that!

Durability




I’ve used this pistol in many “fooling around” skirmishes with my friends. Believe it or not- I’m quite a clumsy oaf and this pistol has been either banged really hard onto the wall or get stepped on by my 200 pounds friend. And all the time it works perfectly without any visible scratches.

Cleaning the gun is just wonderful. I even find it easier than my Tokyo Marui G17L. The gun is very easy to clean, just unlock the slide lock and the slide will come off smoothly.

Accessories




You can just about clip anything on to the M9 ELITE Comp. Flashlights and laser are the top choices. Just fasten it onto the rail under the slide and enjoy!

I’ve put a flashlight on mine in CQB situations. My cousin tripped over a chair in the dark, lol! No problem for me, this pistol is just great.

Conclusion




This is one of my best springers so far. It’s heavy and powerful, but the only bad thing about it is accuracy.

In most airsoft shops there should be accessories (ones I’ve mentioned) to buy. They aren’t that expensive, so I’d recommend anyone to buy them.

I highly recommend this spring pistol to any newbies to airsoft or a spring gun collector.

Introduction


This spring gun model is also known as the KWC Colt M1991A1 due to the trademark label printed on the replica.

Price/Value


I bought this springer in Athens before I found out that I could order these from other European shops without having any trouble at customs, so I highly overpaid for it... how much? 50 euros... yes, 50 euros for it. It was a long time ago and it was my introduction to airsoft, so I don't regret it so badly... but I do miss the extra 25 bucks. I say that because this gun's "real" price is about 25 euros at any online shop.

This springer is worth 25 euros, not 50. For the real price, it is a nice piece to purchase as it serves well for plinking and safe target practicing around the house without catching the neighbors' attention, and for show, it's a great looking replica. It feels certainly nice to have it in your holster and it comes in handy on those always fun "springers only" CQB encounters.

Box Contents


Everything you can expect... the gun, a brochure, warranty document (does anybody EVER send these in?), 10 shooting targets, a box of 100 .20gr BBs, and a hop-up chart in 2 languages that shows how the shot will vary depending on distance and weight of the BB. The box shows some kind of lubricant (I didn't understand, it was in French) but it's not included.

Trademarks


As impressive as any 25 euro springer could be. You have the Colt logo on the handle and the body reads COLT M1991A1 TM. Why 1991 and not 1911 as the box says? Nobody knows... Though there REALLY is a Colt 1991 series, I believe in this instance it was just a misprint by KWC and by the time they realized it, they had already built too many to correct it and just left it like that.

As I read on GunShopFinder, the Colt 1991 Series is a direct descendent of the original Colt 1911A1.

Available Models:

• O1991: Government 1991
  
  
  
• O1091: Government 1991 Stainless
  
  
  
• O4691: Commander
  
  
  
• O4091U: Commander Stainless

Whether or not this is true, I don't care. I'm reviewing the KWC toy BB gun, not the Colt 1991 .45 pistol.

Construction


ABS plastic all around, the magazine too. As seen on the main image at the top of this article, there's a metal piece that shows on the right side that gives the gun a very realistic look. If seen from a couple of meters, you could not tell the difference from the real steel. The only giveaway, is that it's "too nice" since real street models are usually scratched on the edges and have been roughed up by time (and their multiple owners). After owning it for about a year, the first time I took it out for a real match, I noticed I had broken off a piece of the rear sight. I must have hit the carrying bag against something without noticing. The safety is on the right side and you activate it by pushing it up with your thumb.

Weight/Magazine/Muzzle


Weighing only about 200gr, it's pretty easy to carry around and aim with it. It has a hop-up, but you can't adjust it, at least the booklet didn't mention it. For accurate shots, use .20gr BBs. The magazine will hold up to thirteen (13) 6mm rounds, but I recommend you put only 12. The Colt 1911 is a gun for right handers, and you can drop the magazine by pressing a button with your thumb. As far as power, the box reads 0.5 joules... I read somewhere that 0.5 joules was about 200fps and comparing with my AEG, it seems about right.

Accuracy


The target image above shows 10 shots (9 shown) from about 5 meters. I could shoot all those bullseyes with my AEG but with a pistol is very difficult so I was leaning it on the top of a counter to keep it steady. After a few dozen shots figuring out where to aim, I was able to hit the center consistently. As you can see, it shoots pretty well from that distance, but I had to aim a bit low (at the 9 ring) to be hit the center. That's because of the hop-up.

Conclusion


For the market price, this is indeed a very nice springer to have around. Great for shooting around the house without fear of breaking glass or penetrating furniture fabric, but enough to go through 1cm thick cardboard depending on distance. The Colt 1911 series is the best and the most popular gun in the market for almost a century and the looks of it are just fantastic. Looks great in your holster too, and comes in very handy for friendly CQB games. For 25 bucks, you can't possibly go wrong with it.

The 1911 was designed by a very ingenious inventor by the name of John Moses Browning. It was developed as an automatic reloading pistol, shooting a .38 caliber shot. When the army was getting pushed back in the Philippines it was because our .38 caliber pistols didn't have enough stopping power. When John Browning heard of the United States Military's interest in a .45 caliber pistol, he quickly came forth with a .45 caliber pistol.



In the running for pistols, there were the 2 favorites, the P.08 Luger and John Browning’s 1911. The 1911 was chosen for many reasons. One was, in the military when you run out of ammo you just drop your mags, you don't keep them. This created problems because the German Luger’s mags were very expensive. Also the Luger would fail horribly when subjected to water, and even the littlest cloud of dirt could render this gun useless. The 1911 however could be put under water and still fire, and it could be dropped in the mud and still fire. Also the 1911 was a bit more accurate then the innovative Luger. Thus the army adopted the 1911 as its official sidearm.



Now today, the 1911 is still being used and massed produced by many companies. Also in the military, modifications have been made to accommodate this gun in every branch of the military. As you can tell this pistol might well turn out to be the century pistol, with its innovative design, and rugged durability, this proves to be one of the mightiest pistols out there!



Now the order of my review will be as followed:



-Looks

-Performance

-Durability

-Skirmishability

-Upgrade

-Overall



Onto the looks factory. I ordered my 1911 from Shorty USA, with 2 magazines for 45 dollars shipping including. I had my dad nagging me saying a 20 dollar pistol will serve you justice, it will be **** etc. Well it arrived after 2 days to my surprise. I quickly grabbed the first sharp edge I could find to open up the box. I was greeted with the classic UHC box and 2 magazines. Then opening the UHC box this is the beautiful site I was gratefully greeted with:

Crosmaniac2.0 - October 30, 2007 To replace the slide return/recoil spring the spring from a standard pencil length pocket size tire pressure gauge is a perfect fit. These springs won't work with the UHC M9 though, the diameter is a hair too small. I replaced my mainspring with one from a el cheapo flea market springer. The spring being the only decent quality part to be found in that gun. The UHC mainsping is made deliberately light to reduce chance of breakages suffered by early production TM 1911s which were the basis of the UHC design. I believe that many if not all parts interchange between the TM and UHC 1911s. The magazines are said to be interchangable. If you own or intend to buy a TM 1911 I'd suggest getting a UHC gun as a spare. You could use the UHC for practice to save wear and tear on the TM and as a source of spare parts if the TM has a breakage. My UHC has held up well to several thousands of rounds of .20 and .25 ammo and is very accurate out to at least 25 yards. I figure its the best value for the money of any airsoft gun available today. One thing to take note of. I found a slight build up of dustlike ABS powder inside after the first couple hundred rounds. After cleaning and lubing the gun has stayed clean. Make use of the easy field stripping feature to keep your gun clean and lubed properly with Silicone spray.

DPMS A-15 ultra grade review and easy upgrade guide





MILITARY BACKGROUND:

Well... One thing disappoints me about this gun. It is NOT a exact replica of any gun DPMS makes. It is more similar to the DPMS AP4 panther carbine, or the L.E.

Panther Carbine, but I'll still give some background from dpms itself. DPMS, or panther arms, was incorporated in 1986 as a Department of Defense agency representing numerous small arms manufacturers across the country. Not much is about the company on the dpms site, which is www.dpmsinc.com, cept for they do have a team. (real steel of course) http://www.dpmsinc.com/team_dpms.html



So, on to the review.





Real steal Panther arms AP4 carbine.



Packaging:



I was quite impressed by this gun's packaging when I first received it. It had some nice pics on it, and pics of lots of other Cybergun products. The box was quite sturdy. Upon ripping it open, I saw the gun, mag, loading tool, and instructions all placed nicely in white plastic cut-outs. ONE thing though, the gun fits in quite tight, so do not try to pull it out by the barrel, as this may put unnecessary strain on the barrel assembly.







First Impression:



I must say that I was very impressed with this gun; weight. It weighs in at nearly 5 pounds, quite hefty for a spring gun. The total length comes in at 33.25 inches with the stock extended, and the height with the mag in is roughly 10 inches. The gun has full DPMS trade marks. Which read:

DPMS

Panther arms

CAL 6mm

MOD A-15

SN: 06251954







The finish was also very nice, an all around matte black with no reflective properties. The plastic seems to be quite sturdy, which is all abs. The only complaint I have about the exterior, is the %^($ ugly foot long (not really) orange flash hider; although that was easily taken care of usin my airbrush.







Loading:



Upon loading the gun for the first time, I realized how easy this was made with the mag loading tool. You just pour in the bbs, put it over mag hole, and cram em in with the rod. The mag is supposed to be put in with the mag release depressed, but I just stick it in. If done like this, it will snap home in two clicks, makin you feel real good about how well in the mag is. The mag Does have a BB stopper, so carrying extras is no problem. The mags have a capacity of 50 shots, which is quite a bit for a springer.



To cock the gun, pull back on the T charging handle until u hear the gun load, and a click is heard. Then let the handle back into the receiver easily, do not just let it snap back in, for this would break it over time.



Aiming Ability:



This gun has no adjustable sights, except for the rear one can be adjusted for windage. The sights also can be a little hard to use at first, but you will get used to it. NOW here I must highly suggest you get a red-dot sight, and the mount to attach it to the carry handle. This will make aiming quickly in any situation MUCH easier, and will give u more time to hide, and spend less aiming. You will also notice that this gun over-hops a little, but if u get a red-dot, u can zero in with it, so over-hop wont matter.







Performance and Specs:



I performed all of my test using Cybergun .2g special selection BBs.



POOR MANS CHRONO



Point blank- shot through one side of can and left large dent in other.

3 Feet away- barely went through one side, no dent in other.

6 Feet away- large dent in one side



ACCURACY:



Groupings:



Yards-with red dot, without red dot

10 yards- 1 inch, 1.5

20 yards- 3 inches, 4-5 inches

30 yards- 8-12 inches, 15-20

40 yards- 2.5 foot, 4 feet

50 yards- 4-6 feet groupings, can hit a man sized target about half the time



This gun has great range and power for a springer, and according to the poor mans chrono, shoots between 280 and 300 fps. One thing however, is that the gun over-hops about a half a foot at 20 yards, but using a red-dot, you may zero in, and not have to worry about that. You can hit a soda can with ease from about 15 yards, and about half the time from 30 yards. I can hit a stop sign from 43 yards, using a red-dot.



SKIRMISHABILITY:



(^is that even a real word?)

I just have to say that this is one of the best spring rifles out there, and can easily hold its own against GBB's and even AEGs if you have a certain amount of skill. The A-15 is very mobile due to it's collapsible stock, and can be a good counter-sniper if proper optics are used. Cocking can be made rapidly, but is slower than the TM XM-177 since TM puts the charging handle under the foregrip.



ACESSORISING:



Well this IS a spring gun, so not much can be done here unless you can custom make parts for it. You can add friction fit silencers, and some RIS systems might fit with slight modification. The biggest thing here is custom paint jobs, which can make this gun look awesome. I am currently in the process of making my custom silencer with threads. This will be done by sawing off the flash hider, and finding a hollow screw with threads on the end. This will be epoxyed to the inside of the outer barrel, and the threads will stick out. I will then make a custom metal silencer using sheet metal, and another hollow screw, but this one having internal threads so you can screw it onto the threaded barrel. The silencer will have foam, and will look really cool. Another common mod is taking a hack-saw and chopping of the carry handle, screwing a weaver rail on, and having a flat-top a-15. You can also buy weaver rails that screw onto your foregrip through the little holes to mount flashlights and stuff.







NOW THE GOOD STUFF; UPGRADES:



DISCLAIMER: Airsoft Core and the poster of the this information as described in the rules, are not responsible if you break your gun as a result of this information. Do not open it unless you are either positive you can be do it, or are not worried whether it breaks or not.



For all of you who want a little more umph outta your A-15, here is a list of mods that will give you it, without totally wrecking the gun in days.



Disassembling:

The a-15 breaks down into a few main parts.



1. Front barrel assembly is removed by unscrewing the two screws on the sides right behind the front sight.

2. The pistol grip is removed by taking out the screw inside of it.

3.The stock is removed via the screw inside of the buffer (stock) tube.







1. Very few spacers-

Start by taking apart the receiver, and removing the spring. Then find a washer or small round flat object that fits in the spring holder (guide) and set it in behind the spring. Reinsert the spring, and WHAMMOO!!!! 5-15 more fps!!!!!



2. Easy barrel extension for more accuracy- First get a BIC pen, and cut it down to about 2.5-3 inches. Then, get a nerf dart, one of the yellows ones, that has the suction cup on the end that is about = an inch wide, and 3 inches long. Color the pen black with a sharpie, and cut off the suction cup on the dart. Stick the pen in the dart (make sure u get the hollow darts). Put the pen inside of the dart, it should be a snug fit. Then insert this apparatus into your flash hider (it will be a very snug fit, and will require a little force to get all the way in). The pen should be perfectly centered, and this should increase you groupings by about an inch at 15 yards.

Note- it may take a little adjusting to get the full potential accuracy increase of this.



3. Replace complete inner barrel-

This is most likely one of the easiest, but one of the more expensive: go to the hardware store and find some

6 mm copper tubing, drop a few bbs down to make sure they will fit, but u want it to be as tight a fit as possible without them getting stuck any. The remove your foregrip, unscrew the front barrel assembly right behind the front sight, and pull straight off.



This exposes the silver inner barrel, which slides right out. Cut the copper pipe to the desired length, but do not make it more than 100 mm longer than the original. Slide this in place of old inner, reinstall front assembly, and there you have it.



CONCLUSION:



This is a great gun, and will hold up for a long time if treated well. It is just as good for noobs, and veterans alike, and is probably one of the best spring rifles ever made. I would also like to thank you all for putting up with mylong review . Id say it was the best 80 dollars I have ever spent, and would buy another one if this one ever does break. So if you want it get it, if you don not want it, still get it, because it just plain out rocks.
