Classic Army G3 CA-A4 Full Size Airsoft AEG w/ Retractable Stock (Color: Black)

"Like the gun but a few issues.

Good!

-Mostly Metal
-Lighter than its LCT counterparts by a few pounds
-Decent range out of the box
-Collapsing stock makes finding a case easier
-Plenty of Battery space

Bad

-Mag it comes with is crap. does not fit without a good smack, like hand hurts after hard l. I got CA spares and they all work fine so only stock mag
-some parts are a bit flimsy like the mag release and bolt handle
-Stock only has full or collapsed, not sure if this is how the real steal is but would be nice to have a few adjustment points
-Mags are not compatible with LCT mags

Mix

-Charging handle is flimsy so no HK slap, but I have found to be a common thing with airsoft MP5 and G3, there not really built to slap like real steal.

Summery

-good gun but not as sturdy as an LCT but also like 2 or 3 pounds lighter witch was the main reason I got it.

"I wanted to like this; as it feels solid, but after a half mag I did a very toned-down slap and the charging handle came clean off much to my chagrin and barely muffled guffaws …. But it does function reasonably well w/a 7.4 ,the extra 15-20 meters from a 509mm inner barrel is pretty sweet , I would recommend not slapping it unless it’s an Lct

"Well, to be honest, a couple of things can either make or break the gun for you.

PROS
-All metal construction
-Gearbox is solid, seen people run it for 5+ years
-Not terribly balanced, easy to hold and use on the field

CONS
-Charging handle snapped clean off on first pull to adjust hop up, (didn't even HK slap yet, and yes its metal!)
-Magazine catch snapped after first game day
- has to use the Tokyo Marui style G3 mags, LCT mags are not compatible and are a little too long.
-Stock does not have a middle length selection, either full out or all the way in

Otherwise if you can find a new magazine catch, and charging handle (which it is a decently challenging job for the non skilled to replace the charging handle), the replica is solid.

"So I just got this in the mail and externally it is a nice gun. The charging handle isn't metal which I wish it was but it works. The only issue with it is that the second time I put the mag into the gun it wouldn't go in and the magazine catch just snapped off...... never had that happen before. Trying to contact customer support has been a pain. I am going to be attempting to return it and get another in the hopes this one was just a lemon. The gun is unusable in this condition lol. Will update if I can get another one.
