I found this on AirsoftGI under new arrivals. I did a search on here and didn't see anything about it so I thought I would bring it up.

Javelin Gun Works M24 Clone

Here is a link http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.php?products_id=7140. How do you guys think it will do? It looks like the first M24 clone, but I could be completely and utterly wrong.

Also, I don't have an M24, but it seems that the mags are hard to find. Do you guys think the new clone will make compatible mags easier to find?

Well it's aps2 compatible so that's a plus. And it should take M24 or aps2 mags.

That drop test on the webpage was pretty impressive to. Thats an 8+ft fall while smacking metal and concrete on the way down with no issues.

APS2 and M24 mags are not completely compatible.
they are similar but not identical.

I actually have an illustrated post on here about that subject.
here it is......

I have both the CA M24 and the M99 their mags are very similar. but not exactly..
and in comparison to the APS2 completely different.

ok here are the specs....

M24 mag
100mm long
21mm wide
42.80mm tall (BB feeding post)

M99 mag
100mm long
21.50mm wide
45.15mm tall (BB feeding post)

APS2 mag
109mm long
21.90mm wide
52.50mm tall (BB feeding post)

Now as you can see they look pretty similar but the specs show otherwise..
and the biggest problem I see in incompatibility is the width of the BB feeding post.. as seen below... the mag may fit the mag well but then not fit into the hop-up unit. As is the case with trying to use an M24 mag in the M99 with stock hop-up.

You need to be careful in finding the right ones...
but that's if you can find them at all..

Good Luck and should you find them please send me a PM so I can order spares...

hope that helps you and everyone else.

Somewhat off topic, but extremely relevant to this website. Mojo, if you could make a separate post with that info about the mags in the CA Rifles section, I'll sticky the thread. It seems like this keeps coming up and hopefully that'll curve some of the misinformation out there.

Just from the pics, the body doesn't look nearly as nice as the m24, but you can't judge a rifle by its pictures. Also, for $175, why not just spend the extra $35 and get something you know will work? Just my 2 cents.

Wonko and myself have been talking about this over on ASF for a little bit now.

Until someone gets one wont really be sure.

The one thing that really calls attention is the tapered outer barrel. The CA M24 doesn't have a taper.

Judging from the pictures it looks a lot like a VSR or a clone of it. Just by looking at the bolt handle, and handle boss. And judging by the spot and look of the hop up adjustment.

Ok scratch that...... looking on Airsoft GI and they state that their tec has tried a lot of parts and found that it is APS 2 compatible.

If it is a VSR clone that will be great for a lot of people. And there are a lot of upgraded parts already available.

Im currently looking into this gun. If I buy it (and I'm really considering it!) I'll get a review up here!

 

[mojo]

Dutton,

What about the Rifle and Parts review section? for that sticky.

Scratch that.... Posted it in CA Rifles.

Now back on topic............

Did anyone else notice the outside lever for the hop-up.. reminds me an awful lot of the VSR style Hop-up system.

Also, look at that ugly sling attachment point.

Maybe it is for a hidden gernade

cause that would be uberz leetz

Idk about that one because if it pulled out while stocking you would be in trouble.

Poor poor noobs they will never know.

 

[silentfury214]

It is for when some noob asks to borrow your rifle.

 

[hidden187]

that would be true just hope he doesnt want you to be his spotter

Personally, I like the look of it, but A decent review would really sway my opinion. My drag bag says yes, but my wallet is tapped out. =/

I know it has been a few since anyone has posted on this thread, but a crazy good deal just came up on this rifle and I must share!

On airsplat, starting at 12:01am tomorrow, they are having a massive sale: 50% off a ton of pretty good guns, including the JG (javelin) M24! It's listed as only $120, so it'll be $60 without shipping! Is it the same rifle, and is it worth it?
