what company makes the best M14 around $150 ?

 

[mojo]

there is NOT one.. (in that price point) if you are looking for a deal expect to spend around $250 - $300.

As for cheep models...

AGM, JG, Kart or Cyma M14's are clones of the TM. they are decent but need a lot of work in the gearbox to bring it up to snuff. They make a great base for a project gun.
The shopping list you will need to make it better... (& this is just the bare minimum)

• 
  new bushings / shims
  reshimming (very important to do with these models)
  new spring guide
  new spring
  new piston
  new piston head
  new hop up bucking
  TB barrel

Echo 1 Socom 16 (if you can find one) has a decent gearbox but is under powered in my opinion, it needs a TB barrel, new Hopup bucking and better spring.

Aftermath makes a Socom 16 you can get for around $175 but it shoots 500fps w/ .20g out of the box. For a lot of fields that exceeds the FPS limits, but you can always down grade it.

G&P, G&G, CA make decent M14's but again not in the $150 price point.

and in my opinion the best one out on the market Stock is the Tokyo Marui.

hope that helps...

For that price? Your best deal is the new gen CYMA M14/SOC16s. Stock TBB, decent gearbox...very well made TM clone. AGM/Kart/and the early Echo 1 (rebranded AGM) are not nearly as good.

Yeah, Mojo is wrong, the CYMA is actually very good for an MPEG. Nothing like a TM, G&G, or G&P, but the CYMA is definitely worth it if those are outside your price range.

Holy Necropost!!
