Review request: King arms Blaser R93.

This caught my eye on the Hobbyairsofter website.

Very different looking and there are soooo many VSR's, l96's, and SVD's around the place it makes for a nice change from the norm. So has anyone any info on it? accuracy, build quality etc etc. Any info appreciated.

Right picked up one of these last week and it simply has not worked. I will fix it because it is a beautiful looking piece and as you said it is quite unique.

Externals: High quality polymer lower receiver and grip. Its of good quality and looks very pretty. Zero creaks/wobbles. Anywhere. Metal barrel, bolt, rail and monopod. The adjustable cheekrest and shoulder pad makes it very comfortable to hold and shoot. No obvious sling points however.

Internals: Plastic piston, spring guide. Steel cylinder and what seems to be a copper cylinder head. Trigger box is mainly metal and the trigger sear is metal. But, and its a huge but, the trigger sears are of a very poor design. The tooth that catches the piston is not long enough to actually catch the piston. The other problem that seems to be widespread is that the ''steel'' trigger sear is not exactly strong. Putting in a stronger spring WILL destroy the sear. The kicker is King Arms are aware that the trigger sear has this issue and have brought out the ''reinforced trigger box'' which has given the trigger sear a much larger tooth. At the tidy sum of $129.00. The barrel is AEG compatible as is the Hop up. A great feature and saves having to spend big bucks on a Laylax or PDI barrel.
The bolt is extremely simple to pull out. You could feasibly have two bolts, one 550FPS and one 320FPS and swap them in under 30 seconds. Also rumoured is a CO2 bolt in the works.


I have read on another forum that if you contact KA via Email and request a spare part they will send it out to you but I as of yet have not yet received a reply to the numerous Emails I have sent.
If KA does not get back to me I will look elsewhere to have the part fabricated.

In summation its a lovely piece with a terrible design flaw. Only its looks have saved it from being sold on. I am determined to get it working and when I do I will report back to you performance wise.

Cheers for that dude. keep my posted.

Finally got around to getting this fixed! Put a new aluminium piston and steel spring guide in her. I don't have a chrono so no idea of FPS, but the range out of it is the best I have seen. I have gone through a few rifles and I am honestly blown away. I have not replaced the hop up or barrel yet either so it can only get better! Will keep you posted!

Hows the going, those trigger sets are only $25-$30, they are only in a few shops, but are cheap as chips. And apparently the newer Blasers being produced by King arms that are fitted with the trigger upgrade, which is now standard. Just said I'd let you know.

Have one ordered myself, WGC have them. Been fiddling around with it lately and the hop up system is a bit meh. A lot of plastic components in important places.

Just a Plinker

I was looking at one of these a few months ago but the parts availability put me of, But after reading this it might be time to raid the piggy bank
Thanks for the info lads
