chownsy Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 I have just received a A.U.G in a swap but no way of knowing the make of it. from reading on the net BE's have plastic mechbox's which rules this one out, JG, CA or Tm are left. Tm and CA have markings i beleive which leaves JG, but there is no Made in china anywhere on the rifle. i have 5 midcaps with this, and 1 high cap, the high cap says made in china. also have 3 batteries, 2 are black shrink wrapped and the other is shangboa make. Does all the evidence point to this being a JG?? Its a black bodied one, has strip down like the real steel, its got the ras/ris rail on top. Inside the hop unit looks after market with a blue control wheel on it. Pics can be supplied. Regards Richard Link to post Share on other sites
The General Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sounds like the G & P metal hop unit? Are there any markings on the outer barrel near the foregrip? Does the cocking handle lock open? Does it have a sticker with Jap or Chinese writing on it near the magwell? Look inside the magwell. TM models have foam padding to prevent BB's getting inside the shell. The CA and JG do not IIRC. Wayne Link to post Share on other sites
stuie Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Shung boa = JG Battery, and I know that the TM hopup is solid black, what are the wires like? If they're thick it might be a TM, if they're skinny its a CA or clone. Link to post Share on other sites
chownsy Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 Sounds like the G & P metal hop unit? Are there any markings on the outer barrel near the foregrip? - No markings Does the cocking handle lock open? - Yes Does it have a sticker with Jap or Chinese writing on it near the magwell? - nope none Look inside the magwell. TM models have foam padding to prevent BB's getting inside the shell. The CA and JG do not IIRC. - No padding and to the other reply, the wires look quite thick and has a black battery holder (if that helps) Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 CA is the only one with Steyr trademarks, so without those it's either a TM or JG. The TM has the aforementioned foam inside the magwell. The plastic of the selector plate on the TM will be a good quality black plastic, the JG will have a semi-opaque whitish crappy plastic. edit: ooh, what about the gas plug? I know it's a removable (and easily lost) part on the TM AUG and is fixed in place on the CA, anyone know whether the JG has a loose or fixed one? Link to post Share on other sites
chownsy Posted February 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 tappet plate looks semi opaque the gas block plug seems fixed on this model but there are no trademarks that i can see so im presuming JG then Link to post Share on other sites
beretta Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 what colour is the gearbox? most JG models are black and have been for a while, TM with have torx screws in it and oval bushings iirc. CA will have realistic trades and would have fell apart by now. Link to post Share on other sites

beretta Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 take the whole front reciever off. remove the 2 screws in the battery compartment, use a screwdriver to push the gearbox upwards from where the reciever was. then just pry it out the back. should only take a minute.

tinydata Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 sounds like a JG to me the chaoli definitely isn't CA or TM. Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 That's JG's motor brand. Link to post Share on other sites
tinydata Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 also, as mentioned before, the shuangbao battery is a JG/Echo 1 battery I'd say its definitely JG then Link to post Share on other sites
Optomis Posted February 11, 2009 Report Share Posted February 11, 2009 That's JG with a G&P metal hopup unit. How you can tell: I have a CA base gun, it has Steyr trades, has a black metal hopup unit, has no foam in the mag well, and says "made by Classic Army" on the back receiver. That is no TM by what people are saying, no markings, no foam and no selector plate should leave only the JG. Oh and the motor completes it, CA's come with CA high speed motors, TM's come with EG1,000's. Link to post Share on other sites
Docv400 Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 To get the gearbox out you need to smack the back of the stock down fairly firmy onto something soft-ish (placed on something firm). A towel folded twice, on the floor, is ideal, or a rubber mat if you have one. It sounds a bit naff but that's the technique I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 JG stock is 'tighter' than the CA - I have found that the screws holding the rear stock together NEED to be loosened out with my JG=A1 - the mechbox would not come out otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites

The General Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Aug is an amazing feeling gun. Love mine. Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 I realise it's after the fact, but for reference, I've just remembered, TM stocks are just screwed together, CA are screwed and glued... Link to post Share on other sites
-FIDO- Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 and on the tm aug it says "tokyo marui" =P Link to post Share on other sites
Treadhead Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 /facepalm Forgot about that bit... Also, I notice the CA version says Classic Army in the same place (just about the rear sling point on the right hand side)... Guess I don't look at that end of my guns that often!
