I just received an M24 Military version. I got it for about $100. After a quick inspection there were a few issues. But they were small ones... no hopup nub, broken hopup o-ring, no cleaning/clearing rod, and a broken magazine.
Basically at this point I have replaced or fabricated new parts. I made a new clearing rod from a 1/4 inch wooden dowel sanded down and smoothed, then sprayed with a clear coat to keep it smooth.
At this point I am looking for some replacement magazines. I understand that these rifles use the same mags as the maruzen aps2 rifles. My question is, which company makes the most reliable mags for this rifle? I have seen a few mags around but there was no brand on the mags, and I would hate to buy one for $25 plus shipping just to have it break on me after dropping it on the ground or some such.
I bow to your greater experience in these things guys.
