Cyma, G&G or TM

[JMusa]

Now before you start raving about the TM M14 being the best and so on, its £330.
So the real question i want to ask here is:
The Cyma M14 Socom is £120.
The G&G M14 Socom (Soc 16) is £199.99
The TM M14 Socom is £329.99
So which is the best for the money.
From what i understand the Cyma is rather good.
I haven't heard much about the G&G.
The TM M14 is just awesome.
But the question is is it worth 200 or 130 pounds more than any other M14 Socom?
Many Thanks,
Jmusa

If you have reason to test TM's pricing, then you don't want to buy that do you. As you'll always be thinking i could have saved that much if i bought that. The Cyma is a decent gun. Add a new hop rubber and tightbore barrel and it will shoot great. The G&G soc16 is also another great rifle. However is picky with mags. I for one would choose the CYMA each and every time

For £200 the G&G is good value! Their externals are better than the TM and with a good quality barrel and hop you have something decent.
Edit: As hunter said, picky mags is it's only let down

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

When you say picky with mags
will it take king arm mid caps?

[Fizzy]

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

I believe it's only CA and G&G mags it takes, but I'm not 100% sure

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

I believe what Fizzy said is correct. As it isn't a Marui clone.

And if you choose the Cyma stay away from the KA midcaps anyways. They are total B****CKS

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

ah ok then so it may be cheaper to get the cyma?
also on z1 why is the long version 274.99 and the Socom 200 pounds

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

As Fizzy said, CA and G&G only, and the mags aint cheap!

I bought Fizzy's Cyma M14 from him, its bloody awesome, and now pimped with a tb barrel, and has never missed a beat, second hand and fires like new!

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

The long version you're looking at is real wood (and they're both out of stock)

[JMusa]

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

there is also a black stock one for 275
can be rather confusing.
anywho i think the cyma is the best option.
now i just need to find somewhere that does the Socom version.

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

It's in stock in 1-2 U.K retailers. But £150-£160 not £120 you listed

[JMusa]

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

Oh ok well i thought it would be the same price as the long version.
also i take it the cyma takes all mags bar G&G and CA.
so a tightbore and a new hop rubber should do it?

[madwelshman]

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

pretty much! I was quite happy with it as standard, snapped up a promy tightbore from the forums for pennies, changed the rubber when I swapped the barrel, not looked back since!

[HuntR]

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

Yup, i'd get TM Midcaps as they feed flawlessly. And yeah, start off with just a new hop rubber, and then a new barrel if needed. The stock barrel will need a good clean from new, before you do anything radical

Re: Cyma, G&G or TM

Ok guys well i have made up my mind and by the sounds of it I wont regret it!
thanks
