RSOV How they tease me so

MaxForce

Just went onto RSOV and seen that they were selling what looked like at first glance a clone of the SIG552. Yipee been waiting for this like since last year. Begged the wife to let me order it but wait its only €22. AH crap its the same as that LPEG I bought in Salou 2 years ago. DE SIG552. Will a decent clone ever come out of the TM SIG552.:rolleyes:

Fallschirmjager

i would love it if it did...i am saving for a sig but keep getting diverted...

MaxForce

Yeah I know what you mean.

[--SC(+)PE--]

This is the bit were i normally jump in and bring ya some good news about a clone in developement , sorry Max all's ive seen about a china sig552 is pure speculation and it could be way off if at all but im sure one will be released someday.

The LPEG is the Cyma one.

There are on & off noises about a 'proper' (not LPEG) JG one in the works (topic keeps surfacing on the French 'cheapos' airsoft forum - see the pic in here).

I've nearly completed my fund for the TM one, been biding my time a couple of months now

Knowing my luck, JG will come out with it (or worse... DBoys with a full metal one :rolleyes:) mere days after I buy the TM '552 from eHobby.

odonnell

ach yes but you will at least know you bought the real deal.... like buying a dvd instead of a pirate copy.

go for it mate...

You just bought a TM m14? Niiiiiiiiiiice! They're a work of art. Try not to drool on it too much though...no one wants to handle a sticky m14.

M14 with a scope makes a good marksmans weapon.

Looks good Ambro. Haven seen tcob's SIG552, it is a lovly gun. I would say "Go get it man". It was going to be my first but then I decided I could get my Galaxy MP5 and a full metal M9 for the same price as the TM SIG552 and still have change. But I will have one some day.

Fallschirmjager

yes to a m14 no to a tm one...got a agm one from wgcshop...if i am lucky i will have it today as its out of customs...


got the black version...hopefully wont get hit too mcuh with customs...altho i expect a bit because apparently the box and indeed aeg are friggen huge...

Technically it should only be as accurate as an aug with similar power and the same barrel length.

Yeah CYMA have an LPEG version and so do Double Eagle. The on I got was a DE and if you could have such a thing it was a Crappy LPEG.

This is a stupid question, but I'll ask it anyway...

What kind of gearbox have those LPEG's got ? Can they be replaced with a metal version 2 or 3, and a better spring ? Or are they a completely different design internally ?

Looking at mine it has a seethrough plastic reciver. The fps has got to be down around 250. The mag for it is even different to the TM version. The plastic is cheap and nasty so to be honest I dont think it would take a new gear box. I have never opened it to honest. I gave it to my daughter to try out (under supervision and wearing prtective eyegear of course) and she is even sick of it. A guy on Arnies has a post up. He stripped down both the CYMA and the DE versions and tried to put the two together.

unfortunetly the Tm version whould make chumps of our poor Aug's in that regard

:eek:

Nothing lucky 'bout it - just patiently stacking the pennies with squirrelly precision as, unlike most posters in here (Shiva and a few other notables excepted), I also have a full family to run and other hobbies, so can't afford to splurge as much €s on airsoft as I'd like

Especially as I'm still tricking out the DBoys (expecting ACE stock from Gunner and TM Pro Silencer 110mm + King Arms midcaps from eHobby any day now - hopefully before Saturday) :rolleyes:

And especially as RC-what's-his-name has vanished from Earth and still not bought my TM Centimeter or my DBoys metal hicaps

Ah well, now, ya see... about M14s and "getting second ones"... there's them very insistent noises about KART's impending EBR version of the M14, which may very well come a very very close second to the SIG 552... maybe even overtake it, by the time I'm ready to order
