<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

judging from the outlines - Folding rear sight vs. the fixed back-up rear sight

[GuzziHero]

Mmm...good point.  Id go for the folding I think

[richie_j]

the 53 seems to have a different fore end. Its fatter at the front and seems to  have a thicker top rail bit.

[screamin_weasel]

is it a SIR front end ?

[GuzziHero]

Shamelessly stolen from Airsoft EU

[vbtb110]

It appears to be a long SIR style rail, a la' Blackwater in Najaf sniper style.

Looks tempting, but I'll hold out for a mod 0.

[newbkiller]

I'm holding for the long SIR. no mod 0 for me.

[GuzziHero]

I was discussing this with DarkMM last night.

From the box he noted that the 5381 appears to have a fixed rear right, not folding.  I just got a folding DBoys rear sight and it wasnt very well manufactured but thats a minor issue.

Does it look to me like the 5381 has a 1 piece top rail?  I think you call it a monolithic?  

I also showed DarkMM that Najaf sniper vid...maybe DBoys saw it and decided to cash in!  if so, shrewd move.

If anyone can tell me how good quality DBoys metal receivers are, Ill get one because I can always put a CA gearbox in

[Plymouth Roadrunner]

Not to thread jack OR roam off topic, but has anyone tried their ACOG or M3 Replicas?

Im thinking its plastic...

and just to stay *somewhat* on topic, that SPR does look sweet, but im already mentally committed to buy a A&K SAW.

[Sturaiku]

Im definitely going to get this. It has all the things I want on a 16, not to mention full metal for only 140 USD!

[donthedragon]

I am the same, however...I would rather wait til someone has one before I commit to spending any money on a clone AEG, metal or not. Its not likely to be of CA structure quality, but Its not likely to be made of monkey metal either. It would be an idea for me to buy one just to experiment on; as I am sure most of you will be doing.

To be reliable enough to skirmish with, I'm guessing that the motor will have to be serviced or replaced with a marui one (pending size/installation issues). A new hop system and bushing set might be in order too, although I have seen elsewhere that the bushings are metal already (I think).

The outer barrel is being cited as metal too, does anyone know from experience (from any of the JG/BOYI clones) whether they are made of coke cans or not? Would it be worth changing the inner barrel to a marui one?, if the fps is 340+ then it would probably serve as a good counter sniper rifle...hey, maybe even a tightbore could work properly!

Editte!: If any of this sounds like horse manure, thats because it probably is; I'm just trying to sounds intelligent

[ruthlesscqb]

are these compatable with marui,ca internals?

[GuzziHero]

The outer barrel on my BIM4 is solid, really good stuff. It should be OK.

I don't know dude, I'm pretty sure they will be as they are direct clones of the marui ones; but don't take my word for that.

Sounds promising. Even as a project gun it would be interesting to see the quality of the metal frames. It would be the cheaper option if you were to replace all the internals with marui ones; as opposed to forking out for a metal body from another manufacturer...that way then you will always have some backup internals. Who knows, the gun might even be useable by itself!

[happyboy]

Dboys has a mod 0, guys! (Unless if gunnerairsoft just mislabeled it...)
