To Worstinfinland...... that'll be cuz its a TM derivative, G&G V7 M14 gearboxs are easier than a V2 or 3 boxs to work on, set up, adjust, modify..... fact!!
To the OP I have had both my G&G M14 version 1s for nye on 10 years now, both work without flaw, everytime I use them, and If you have read the sticky at the top of the title page you'll know mine are VERY heavily modified with, normaly, some untried or tested mod I've been working on :nuts:
The TM fanboys will tell you the hop is more stable etc etc and this is all pish, the G&G hop is just as stable and with some mods can be made more stable than the TM hop could dream of being :shot:
The EMR variant is VERY front heavy though, and just heavy in general (when I had finished mine it weighed in at 17.5 pounds all in, less mag..... thats heavier than the real thing :doh
The SR25 is ''OK'', Your really no better off than someone else running an M16 DMR except the SR is heavier and on some versions you can have a longer stroke piston/cylinder, which, despite what others my think, isn't the boon that it should be unless your either running a super long barrel (stupid idea :lmao:at anyone who does and thinks their gun performs any better) or a super large bore barrel (better idea but only really for 6.2mm and up)...... again there is a small section on what I did to mine in the sticky (starts at post 6 if memory serves :yup
My mate had both long and short FNs, they were OK aswell , but another mate had a sniper variant SLR and that was not so good :shrug:
