If you're looking for tactic|o|oLzZ AK's I know a site that sells them.

If it's plain AK you want, I'm not sure I can help you. :(

**ijyt** · 26th March 2011

Oh god no tactical AKs ever in my possession. Wood and steel only, Спасибо.

Same here. Seeing any poor AK subjected to such a horrible torture would move me to emotion.

Is Classic Army any decent?

**CodeMonkey3** · 26th March 2011

Not so much anymore. They used to be one of the best but anymore their quality has kind of taken a backseat, they're just not what they used to be. Their sport line guns are absolute shit too.

**ijyt** · 26th March 2011

Better or worse than ICS? Because an ICS AKS-74u is the only thing I've found in stock over multiple websites. And even then I'm loathe to getting the 74u as I may one day want a GP-25/30.

Derp, the ICS is better, is what I meant.

**ijyt** · 26th March 2011

Ok, I'm going to be an annoying (massive) faggot and would really appreciate people's opinions on these manufacturers:

Classic Army
VFC
LCT
ICS
Ares

All AKs apart for Ares which is a PPSH.

Classic Army: Used to be shit but had a short period of being good. That period is over and their back to having great externals and horrid internals. Their ARs are still pretty good though.

VFC: Pretty great inside and out. Many AK purists swear by them.

LCT: Made body kits and furniture for a long time, which were terrific, but I'm not sure about their internals now, don't know anyone who has one, nor do I have one.

ICS: Used to hear horror stories all the time, but they have made a substantial leap in quality recently.

ARES: Used to be a branch of STAR, but now makes their own guns. Their overpriced and terrible. I know a guy who has the PPSH, and he says he likes it loads more than the Hexagon Productions and Hudson ones.

THUS I REFUTE THEE

ARES is a hit or miss. They vary from production run to production run and you should do a lot of research and take a lot of opinions and reviews before you make a purchase.

Let me say that the good runs are incredible. I have an ARES TAR 21 and I have no complaints, great gun.

**ijyt** · 27th March 2011

Just realised that every other post on this page is by me. Sorrow. The Ares I'm only considering because every AK that I might possibly be interested in is out of stock. It's like the UK sites WANT me to go capitalist.

**Stupideye** · 27th March 2011

I have the same ICS 74M you are looking at. Havent had the chance to game it yet so I cant speak for interior quality but the externals are goddamn fantastic.

**ijyt** · 27th March 2011

Actually I'm generally sticking to fire-support.co.uk and the only ICS they have is the AKS-74u.

But I'm not really considering the black one, seeing as woods are so hard to find. I even had the dirtiest of thoughts about AKs and rails. :smithicide:

Hey guys, I'm planning on getting into airsoft, and one of the websites I saw, www.precisionairsoft.com , had the rifle I was looking for about $20 cheaper than the next site. Does anybody know if it is a reliable site? I've gotten scammed when purchasing stuff on the internet before, so I tend to be a bit weary of buying from a site I never have before.

**L_Dawg** · 1st April 2011

You really should be going to http://www.airsoftgi.com/. People around here swear by it.

**venom** · 1st April 2011

I'd pass on that site.

I one bought something from these guys because it was the only place that had it. Three weeks later, it's not at my house, so I phone them up and they never answered for three days. Then I call them and threaten them to talk to me or else I will take legal action, and they pick up the phone mid call, when they finally send me the item.

Edgar Allan Poe · 2nd April 2011

Okay, thanks for the suggestions, guys. I just ordered my first airsoft gun from Airsoftgi :buddy:

**L_Dawg** · 2nd April 2011

Finally someone who's smart enough to take our advice.

We applaud you, what did you get?

Edgar Allan Poe · 2nd April 2011

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_inf...oducts_id=7154

I ordered that gun and scope, a bipod, some spare magazines, a fair amount of BB's, and some silicone spray.

You just made the worst mistake. Sniping is not for beginners. I don't care how cool it seems because of CoD, it doesn't work that way. This is why one of my friends who used to be a sniper bought a G&G M16 and converted it into a DMR. If you really want to try out sniping, it's best to get an M14 or M16 with a scope so if you don't like it you still have a solid assault rifle.

Edgar Allan Poe · 2nd April 2011

Understand guys I may not be the most experienced player to the game, but I haven't gone without playing. I have played countless times with rentals and my friend's guns, and I was aware of this, but I feel like I made the right decision.

coopercrueV2 · 2nd April 2011

Do not EVER buy from airsplat, they send you shit in a paper bag.

You're going to eventually find out being a sniper is the most boring role in airsoft. And you'll find that using a bolt action sniper rifle is a terrible mistake as you get no more range than an AEG unless you buy hundreds of dollars worth of upgrades for your rifle.

Edgar Allan Poe · 2nd April 2011

All right, I trust you guys on this one. I was fortunately able to cancel that order. I put in a new one for an M4. It's a little bit more than what I was hoping to spend, but you guys convinced me, and I feel it'll be better in the long run.

Thanks again :buddy:

**DarkSamus** · 2nd April 2011

A g&g m4?

You are still the single most intelligent question asker we've seen so far.

Did you really waste your money on that shit? I had a sniper rifle once, I never used it because without a shit-ton of upgrades and other bullshit they're worthless and boring. I can't sell mine, hell I can't even give it away.

Oh, thank god. What brand is it?

**Euphorium** · 4th April 2011

It's VFC, so yeah probably.

**Euphorium** · 4th April 2011

I like it because it's ambidextrous, since I shoot lefty. Not really sure on attachments, probably go with just a flashlight and a simple scope, nothing too expensive.

**L_Dawg** · 4th April 2011

Nearly all airsoft guns are ambidextrous anyway. I just use my index finger to operate the fire selector if it's on the other side of the receiver.

yourshadow · 7th April 2011

Is this a good choice for a first gun?
