G&G M14 HBA/EBR

Anyone fancy giving a quick review on this? Nothing major.....just a little on range, accuracy, value for money, etc. Thinking of getting one but would like to know peoples views first. Would be looking to use it in a DMR type role.

Okay - I can give a quick run down but I don't know the gun well enough yet to give a full detailed review. I bought one a couple of weeks ago and it is the most impressive airsoft replica I have yet to hold in my hands. The weight it quite heavy - but not too heavy by any means. If you can handle a support weapon okay then you can handle this no problem.
Range and accuracy are superb - as is rate of fire. I am currently having mine upgraded since I'm a sucker for a pimped out gun but it fires great from the box.
The build quality is perfect as far as I can see. The rifle looks absolutely beautiful.
Value for money is a tough thing to call though. They cost a lot but you are getting a lot for that amount. I sold half my collection of pistols and rifles in order to be able to afford to buy my G&G M14 EBR and am now down to just this and an M4 - having gotten rid of a Steyr which I loved and an AK74 which I had finally gotten after wanting for ages. I don't regret it though and I can't see me even wanting to buy a new rifle for a long whicle to come - so in that way it does look like very good value for money to me.
The magazines are quite expensive - around €25 for the high caps. I have two and 5 80 round midcaps which I got for around €20 each from Redwolf. I have all G&G mags now and they are amazing quality -built like bricks and with rubberized metal bodies. To be honest though I would not be happy putting a cheap mag in to the rifle as it just wouldn't seem right.
I bought this rifle after thinking about it for a full year. I first had my eye on the Classic Army one after seeing it in a catalogue which came with my first AEG purchase. I then toyed with the idea of getting a Kart version and changing out all of the internals. After a long decision making process and an acceptance that buying this would mean selling most of my airsoft gear to finance it - I went ahead and as I said I'm really happy. It's a lot of gun though and I would only feel happy recommending it to someone else who was as obsessed with this type of rifle as I have been.
Best thing you could do would be to go to a shop that stocks it and get your hands on one to see how you like it physically - if you love the externals, the internals will not disappoint.

Thanks Chief, that was right along the lines i was looking for. Not a detailed one but just a owners opinion of it. It's a gun that has interested since before i bought some of my other guns but the more i researched it the more i have started to like it. Also, it looks an absolute beast!!!!!!!

The_ChiefDUB

Oh it's a beast alright. .
If you've been thinking about this rifle for as long as I have - and it looks like you have - I would definitely advise you to go buy one.
SGAirsoft had one in stock before Christmas and holding that made the decision for me. I think they still have one on the wall.

I bought one about 3 months ago and haven't looked back. Outstanding riffle! The build quality is superb and as chiefdub said the internals won't let you down, the range is brill out of box I normally upgrade my hopups straight away but havent bothered with this one yet as its pretty good as is. It's a bit heavy but I'm only a small lad and I can game with it all day would just suggest a good sling to hold the weight.
