yeah i am completely sold on anything marui dont get me started on my collection lol. ive also had good experiences with G&G so i was curious about their M14. as of now, i will cross the G&G version off my list.

i was looking through available parts for the TM m14 and it does seem to be a sweet platform! im just worried about the initial cost of buying it :S one other thing is that, i have noticed with EVERY Marui AEG i have held, is that they seem really "creaky" and loose. I like my guns to be sturdy and rugged. how is the TM m14 in this aspect?

kjw 10/22 - $400
mags - $27ish landed
Barrel - $50ish landed
externals - already acquired.

TM M14 (Socom) - $800+?
Mags (mid) - $20-$30 landed
Barrel - $70ish landed
Internals - $200+
Lipo - $25ish +

yikes! :S from this aspect, the 10/22 is looking like a viable option!

but before price comes performance! ugh! i wish i could get a direct comparison
If you wanted to invest a bit, you could always go the M16 route and mod it into a MK12 Mod 0... You could likely do that for about the cost of the TM M14 and still come out on top with a really good gun.
