My First AEG, Very Very Happy
 

:-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.

Okay? Many people get new guns everyday and they dont start a new thread. Whats so special about your gun?

congrats have fun with it!

Nice man!. You made a good choice for a first gun. I hope you enjoy it. :-)

Dont shoot your eye out.

Hes had experience in doing so when he got his first gun :lol:

Anyways enjoy it man, fix that barrel wobble and your set.

nice lookin piece

I'm no Ralphie
 

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 :D ). 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:

Nice gun. Wouldn't mind one myself. I wonder how it shoots...

Bruce is selling the modded barrel very cheap. he did mine and it is solid as a rock now...huge difference. :tup:

hey congrats dude... enjoy plinking away=P

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
