[RedBaron]

Will test and zero my sites tomorrow morning

Edit: Oh and concerning the color of the upper receiver, it really does not have any hint of green. If I had to assign it a color other than tan, I would say that it is like a dark gold or bronze. The color difference from the rest of the gun is not as extreme as the pictures make it out to be. It is just because of the flash from the camera that reacts negatively with the luster of the metal.

Nice, that third and fourth photo do the colors a bit more justice. See if you can get a shot in daylight without the flash sometime.

Is that worth getting?
It looks like it would have nice range since the gearbox is in the back of the gun.

JG makes good clones, but they're clones so don't expect TM reliability. The AUG is a nice gun to handle, but upgrades for it hard hard(er) to find since it uses a proprietary version 7 (?) gearbox.

In airsoft the barrel length isn't really what determines accuracy, instead, it's the barrel diameter. If you want accuracy get a 6.3mm or 6.1mm tight-bore barrel in the appropriate length for your gun(s). Both the 6.3mm and 6.01mm tight-bore barrels require cleaning after every use and the highest quality BB's if you want good results. A tight-bore will also increase your FPS by a small amount because there's less air escaping around the BB, and therefore more pressure pushing it.

Okay, I read some reviews, and its rated with 350 fps, and I saw it hitting targets accurately at 125 feet.
Don't really have the money for a different brand, and I'd like an AUG.
So should I get it?

I'd say go for it, do you have a good optic you can throw on 'er? Red dots are king in airsoft, anything that magnifies more than 1.5x is wasted since you can't shoot accurately farther than you can throw a rock haha.

If you have an extra $34.99 I'd get this 6.02mm tightbore barrel, it really is amazing how much a tightbore will improve your accuracy and the extra few FPS boost is nice. When I say FPS boost, it's only like 5-10 FPS max, but it's measurable. It's also extremely easy to install a tightbore barrel:


There are videos that really clarify the actually hopup/bucking removal portion, that video is specifically for the AUG though so I thought I'd link it.

Thanks, I'll be ordering it soon.
You happen to have aim or msn, or steam?

And I have an adjustable scope.
Red dots are fairly expensive but I do want one, if this gun proves to do what I think it will, I'll be ordering.

Got any good, relatively less expensive ones i should look at?

I check forums/email way more often than I log into an IM client. Just PM me here or at my site (http://lancersedge.servegame.org) and I'll probably get back to you later that day or the next. I check email daily for sure, PM me for that info as well.

I've been able to find some decent clone optics, I use a King Arms Panorama red dot that I got for around $50 from ehobbyasia. It's a little dim for outdoor play but it's manageable. If you're going to be doing outdoor play I suggest getting something like an ACOG replica that's just a red dot instead of a magnification scope, having the dot enclosed in a scope housing makes it easier to see during the day, slightly slower target acquisition though.

When you win the lottery get a real Eotech holographic optic (for me too please!), these guys are king in the airsoft world.

So I test fired my rifle today. After siting it in, I was pretty impressed with the range. The pattern on full auto was good to up around 125 feet with just the .20g BB. I'm sure to get a smaller pattern with the .25-.30 rounds. My friend who owns a $1,000 M4 was pretty impressed with this gun too. This is my first gun, so i don't know much about it, but when I fire in the semi mode, sometimes my trigger locks up as if it was on safe. Firing a burst of auto will fix this. I think it has something to do with me not compressing the trigger all the way when on semi. Also the one real problem I had was that the included tan midcap had problems feeding after it was around half way empty. The highcap works wonders though, but it is grey and does not match the rifle. I will probably spray paint it later.

Bought the AUG, I'll let you know how it is when it comes in

O and my friend and I decided that this would be boss:
