Tokyo Marui M16A2 - I`ve just been given one?

[tim16712]

Happy days, I Think. Is this any good ?, and what do I need to do, to check it is safe to use. Battery has charged and it seems ok, fired a few test bb`s, but I have no idea how old it is or in what condition inside.

Was thinking of checking out a local site FRV Airsoft, and see if they can give iy a once over, or should I have alook myself ?

Comments please

Cheers

Well Tokyo maruis in general are tanks.

To be honest take it to a gun tech for a once over

Normally if your inexperienced, and don't know the condition of the gun its best to do such a thing as take it to them to have alook and possibly a service on it.

Are you new to the sport?

thanks,

Yep, the gun should last a while.

Honestly, had guns fired over 100,000 rounds with the stock internals, they're well built.

The only problem with the TM Armalites is they suffer from barrel wobble... A lot of it.
I'd replace the outer barrel, and whilst at it get a cheap tightbore (Element or Madbull might do the job) - you'll notice the FPS increase from around 270 to 290, perhaps more, which will give you a slight bit more range.
Change the body to a metal one. All makes should be compatible - G&G and G&P making solid bodies, but to keep costs down, DBOYS and JG do some good ones as well.

Then you should have a very nice rifle.

+1 on the G&P bodies i have the m4 version and there is no wobble whatsoever.
Great bit of kit.

I used to have an M16A2 which id put full G&P external parts on, was solid as a rock and never gave me any trouble

Re: Tokyo Marui M16A2 - I`ve just been given one?

You could probably pick up some G&P externals second hand at a alright price i guess, how much for you think aeviv?

"where abouts in northern ireland do you hail from?"
From the North Coast, Coleraine. Have taken the bull by the preverbials, and myself, 3 other dads and our 4 boys have booked a half day at FRV Airsoft.
Only way to learn I suppose. Will use their lit untill I get a bit of game time and experience.
Many thanks for tips, upgrade pointers etc. Let ya all know how it goes
