The longer MP006, the handguard is longer (5 holes)


The MP005, shorter version.


another side


Adjustable Butt Stock

Metal Trigger and selector, wont break easily as BE, also the BIG ugly screw in the middle disappeared.

Metal Flash hider and outer barrel, the main frame of front set is metal also, same as TM!! unlike the BE which is plastic!


The hop up looks like AK hop-up, but much longer


Change battery here!

A friend of mine has the BE one and externally at least, it does look a lot nicer smile.gif

It's a shame, though, that the scope is still part of the block at the end of the carry handle, rather than sitting on top of the carry handle so it can be removed easily.

EDIT: Hmm, Double Eagle eh? I quite liked the build on their M85's.. I might get me one of these just to have an XM8 smile.gif

with a very minor modification, YES.

remove some plastic from the feeding hole of the Hop up chamber (same as BE, but much less!!)

Yeah, trust this to happen when im half way through doing up My BE XM8 dry.gif

too bad it still has the ugly hole at the front, but i fixed that on mine with some plasticard, so this ought to be a worthwhile purchase for you guys *trys to hide bitterness*

Wait a second...alot of the parts on this look just like the both elephant that i ave infront of me, except with a different upper reciever. Same shitty takedown pins aswell. Maybe they borrowed the moulds for the other external parts? It has identical selector markings to the BE, and it has those pointless circles in the same place too. and the mag catch looks the same. doubtless it is much better value though, with the metal outer barrel, and metal gearbox. *sigh* looks like it has rubberised grips too.

I might just say sod my project and get this instead......

Gunner, is the quality of the plastic worlds ahead of the BE one? cos if it is, ill bin my BE and get this.

Does the sight have plastic lenses like the BE version, or have they actually pulled there fingers out and put a working red dot on it?

Hey Gunner, how's the gearbox? The M86 one looked like a disaster, is this one more solid?
