    So the story so far is I've bought my first aeg( cybergun m4 cqbr) it's a great piece of kit. However I don't really like the iorn sights to much. Im looking to replace them with a good quality red dot sight.

    Not sure what type but not willing to go over the 100 euro mark.

    Any suggestions, pictures or recommendatios welcome.

    Thanks in advance

    2 of my mates that use m4s use Acog sights on it, and it looks very nice and works very well, google it up =)

    it really depends on a lot of things, i use a lot of diffrent sights depending on the AEg but the one i use most often is the simple aimpoint one like this one, find it really staright forward to use easy to zero, but its really about prefernce, quite found of the eo-tech clones as well.

    sorry just thought, have you gone for a particular load out (ie USMC or IDF) where one type of scope might look more realistic than others?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 711 ✭✭✭Spooky-Vinny


    yeah its all realy down to personal preference at the end of the day, coz they all work the same more or less! =)

    as vinny says its really down to personal choice, get down to a skirmmish or two and see if anybody has any you can try before you take the plunge

    Thanks lads for the replies.

    I was thinking along the lines of an eotech clone as it is a cqb aeg. Do you know were I could pick one up for a reasonable price?

    The loadout Im starting to build is a pmc one so any optics go.

    I got this one http://qualityairsoftsupplies.com/product_info.php?cPath=52&products_id=147

    You wont get it held in customs either. It costs a bit more but you;ll have it in a few days.

    Great knowing my luck I would be! Do you no what the story is on importing from England?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 786 ✭✭✭lochdara


    Its not illegal but anything that looks like a component of a firearm may get stopped.
    I think for the little in the difference in cost stick to the local guys.

    Try hobby airsoft too. Go Tactical have an eotech 553 for 110approx but the 551 looks well on the m4.

    @ lochdara the eotech looks class!

    I have to go to hobby airsoft during the week so I'll see what they have.

    I'd say the eotech will have to be bought online.

    About England I ment what's the story on vat and charges?
    Appreciete all the help


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,156 ✭✭✭tonyj_mc


    shouldn't have no vat/import charges from UK
