Hey guys just wondering what is the best site to find cheaper G&G M14's. I have a certain limit of about 200 or so bucks so it's either the G&G or a clone (most likely UTG).

A TM M14 could work also.

hey i got mine over at airsoftextreme.com

The package came with the G&G M14 as well as a battery and charger. The package was a total of $255. It got to my house quick and was packaged really well ... i would say go with them .

I'd say go with the TM hands down, but if you want the G&G go for it. They're new version is apparently quite good unlike their first run which was one of the biggest production flops in airsoft history.

I've fielded the UTG M14 multiple times and I've gotta say that it's quite a gun. I wouldn't trust it with upgrades but if you're planning on keeping it stock then the UTG is well worth the price. If you put an upgraded Marui or G&G gearbox in it then you'd be fine. If worse comes to worse and you can't find a TM or G&G M14 for $200, the UTG is by no means a crappy gun.

If you can scrape another $55 together then I recommend Airsoft Extreme like Woogie said. I've been to their store in Santa Clara and they have some of the best products and service in the country.

If your near the 200$ price range if you can save up enough you can get yourself a decent M14. Echo 1 USA M14 are on par with Tokyo Marui rifles and are only 220$. I would look into these.

Embed, THANK YOU! That putting a TM or G&G gearbox is a great idea.

Check this website:

Quite honestly the cheapest price you'll find anywhere, they'll also price match if you find it cheaper anywhere else on the interwebs, and shipping is usually nothing longer than a week.

i didn't think that you could put a G&G M14 into a TM M14 and visa versa. But yeah i was in the same boat you were a little bit ago.. I went with the G&G because of it already being at the FPS i was looking for. That and TM's are good but they are fairly low on the FPS scale. But that is what i have read on other sites, as i have not actually held a TM, well or a G&G till i get back from Iraq

But let us know what you plan on doing .... would be good to know

and good luck

Thanks guys for all of your help.

Also what kind of scope/red dot should I get? It's going to be a multipurpose gun (sniper,scout,assault, etc.) So should I get a reflex sight, red dot or scope?

For a multipurpose rifle, a good magnification would be 3-4x. Here are some examples:

I think this one is really cool

look at a shotgun scope... should be a 1.5-4 or a 1.5-5 They have great eye relief and stand up really good against paintballs

that way you have the close in but yet can zoom in a bit

 

[bobthefluffer]

What would be the expected range of the UTG version?

Here are some links to what I am thinking about.

Please... dont...

If you look at the Reticles for rifles AND shotguns you will see major differences.

Besides useful things like better and more advanced mildots, the shotguns crosshairs are WAY thicker. Most shotgun reticles are diamond in shape WITH the addition of the traditions crosshair "cross". The diamond shape is to view your groupings with buckshot and the crosshairs are for slug-fire.

In my opinion this is way to much clutter on a scope. Id rather use the space to aim what Im shooting at and view where the BB is landing to make Adjustments.

Im in no way exadurating the size of the diamond corsshairs.
The difference is almost literally:
Tradition Crosshairs: +
Shotgun Corsshairs: +

the scope that i have are actually smaller than some of my rifle scopes.... when i get home i will find it and see what the brand is... but they are small hairs
