Adaptive Armament Spectre M4 Airsoft AEG Rifle (Model: SBR)

"Great gun, got it on sale but it feels very nice first time I used it but the only issue is the battery room for the stock and it’s a bit difficult to remove at first but other than that great gun shoots good with .28

"this gun is awesome in everyway
build is very nice very solid with no wobble for me
this gun is a bit heavier but its solid, i fell head over heels on this gun in a game and it barly had a scratch
the internals on this gun are great as well sounds good out of the box with a 7.4v or 11.1v has great trigger response on semi auto and with an 11.1v it has a decent rate of fire the mosfet is good to but if you get the pdw stock like i did it wont fit with the battery ( on pdw its tiny btw )
range is great with .30 bbs and its very accurate i was able to easly head shot people at 150-200 feet
this gun is awesome cannot say enough good about it ive had no problems and would recommend this gun very highly

"Bought the PDW from my local store. All in all this gun is very nice. Nice build, good length, nice trigger response. This also comes with a Burst Wizard 4 mosfet which I haven’t used customized yet, but it seems to be really nice. The gun is full ambidextrous, but the fire selector switch on the right side is a little loose but it’s whatever. Hopup seems pretty nice as well. My only gripe with the weapon is the battery space, it is VERY small, so have a small battery or have a battery extension. But all in all if your looking for a full metal CQB gun that is spammable, upgradable and very nice feeling, this is the way to go for the price.

"Excellent platform. Fully ambidextrous controls. It has a quick change microswitch gearbox and full metal rack piston. Drop a hundred bucks worth of upgrades into it and it's a very impressive performance machine.

"This review is of the PDW model.

Overall, impressed with this rifle. Build construction seems very solid, minimal/no play in components. Feels like a real M4, only lighter (for better or worse).

The only negative I've identified is the extraordinarily small battery space in the PDW stock. I've found the 7.4v 1000mah Tenergy to be a good fit. Anything larger is a complete hassle to install.

I am concerned with other reviews on component compatability for repairs, should the need arise.

"when these go on sale again i will buy them all... there is no better deal on the market today...
the bucking is very soft.. so if you have a firing issue it is probably the bucking air seal.. by dis assembling and re assembling the barrel and hop
i have fixed my issue... shs internals

"High quality package on a low budget.

There seems to be quite a bit of thought put into several areas normally forgotten about. The packaging is top notch, surpassing KWA, Kings Arms, TM, G&P and G&G with the rifle being held by laser cut hard foam with individual cut outs for the various attachments along with the metal high cap magazine.

The only part of the externals I would recommend replacing off the get go is the stock. Its is a typical crane style stock but feels like it's made out of cheap ABS plastic with quite a bit of wobble to make things worse. But that is truly the one immediate downfall. Everything else is rock solid with a metal bird cage flash hider included to replace the mandated orange stand in. Ambidextrous controls with a notch cut out of the ejection port side allowing minimal overlap of fire controls for right handed shooters. Comes with a Busrt Wizard 4 inline mosfet. Reciever has next to no play, with a feeler gauge reading .002mm at the largest gap between the lower and upper. MLOC rail is solid and properly aligned with the low profile gas block. Ambidextrous mag and bolt release bring it home. Even the mock bolt being sent home by the release is extremely crisp it has me a little confused as to why my Krytacs aren't even in the same realm

Great rifle all around, both for beginners and those of us who were playing before there were even US based distributors. Highly recommend, eats combat machines for breakfast

"Got this awhile back when this specific version DID NOT have the mosfet which was no issue. It can still take 11.1v LiPos no problem. It automatically precocks at ab half way with 11.1v battery making response very good. ROF is averge nothing fancy. Range was ab 150 feet out of the box. Shot to shot consistency and accuracy was meh, could've been better. Receivers dont mesh well, slight wobble.

I upgraded mine into a high speed ssg. --14:1 gears SS 2 teeth, 30K ASG boost motor, SHS 14 tooth piston, Lonex cylinder head, Lonex nozzle, VFC piston head, M110-m120 spring. -- 30-35 rps at 350 fps with 4 /- FPS consistency. --

Pros: upgrade potential, metal and light, microswitch, matt black finish, ambidextrous everything.
Cons: selector covers fall off on both sides, loose recievers, hop isnt great,

"Airsoft Noob perspective: works great out of the box. Adjusted the motor height and hop and was shooting.25’s straight and far. Great groupings at ~25+ yards and the FPS/joules were right at my outdoor field limit. Everything is tight and doesn’t rattle or anything, barrel does not flex around inside the rail. Tried 3 different brands of mid cap and all fit and feed great. I don’t have much to compare it with but I think the trigger response is very good, a little take up before the wall and then a realistic pull weight(compared to my real pistols). MOSFET came programed for 3rnd burst in auto with one trigger pull and full auto if you hold it. ROF is not super high but semi and 3burst is fine for how how I play rn. had a great time with this rifle, even loaned it to a teammate who told me it was “godly” compared to his lanc-whatever tactic-something-al löl. Idk about that but I appreciated the second opinion. It’s a fun one fo sho

"Just ordered this gun, it's great very sturdy and durable, works perfectly and have no problems with it, programmable mosfet that came with it is high quality although it takes up space in the stock, so limited space, but you can take it off if you prefer no mosfer. Stock materials are good but it feels flimsy I wouldn't put a sling on the stock. Great gun overall. Would definitely buy from this company again

"I've been playing airsoft for 5years and all I can say is it is an AMAZING GUN!!! I own it since 2018 and it has been in a lot of games with me and the only bad thing that happened was a jam, which was caused by bad bio bbs cracking inside my gun. but that's not the guns fault and i cleaned it out with just a cleaning rod. the trigger response is amazing, the full auto function is if you only tap it once it's 3round burst and if you long pull it it'll go into full auto. all in all it is the best gun for it's price range.

"This airsoft gun is very nice. Thanks to the steel tightbore inner barrel, the gun shoots very straight. The wheel style hop-up makes adjusting easy and the mock bolt locks back so you don't need to hold the charging handle when adjusting hop-up. Battery space is somewhat limited so I would recommend using a small LiPo battery. Trigger is very responsive and doesn't feel sluggish. There doesn't seem to be any noticeable wobble on the gun and the metal finish feels nice in the hands. I would recommend using anti seize grease on the threaded parts of the gun so that the threads do not get damaged especially on the battery compartment. A pretty solid airsoft gun for the price.

"Overall this rifle is great out of the box but does have some short comings. What is has in exterior durability it is lacking in interior usability. Mainly the largest issue is the electrical trigger that comes with is awful and is exhausting to shoot for long periods of time as there is a slight delay. The trigger delay is why this gun is not getting 5 stars. Overwise a great setup.

"I have the carbine length version. I bought this having been told it was great out of the box, but after a few discoveries I've been a little disappointed, but not terribly because it runs great. Firstly, the upper rec on my model is actually polymer despite the description. I think it's only the shorter models that are full metal. Second, I had bought a Daniel defense handguard to put on this which gave me a lot of trouble. I couldn't get the barrel to sit right inside it no matter what. I eventually discovered that this is because the barrel on these rifles droops right from the factory. The handguard on the stock rifle even bridges a little bit where it meets the receiver so that the barrel stays centered. This is very noticeable with the DD rail, but only slightly with the standard handguard so I can't recommend changing it. Third, the battery compartment is a little cramped. Collapsing the stock has crimped my wires to where it sliced the sheathing. With the included programmable mosfet and a battery (mines a nunchuck), I have no idea how to cram all that in there without damaging the wires. Overall, it performs nicely but has some irritating things that end up limiting external upgrades or make the longer variants not as worth it even aesthetically.
