Mt_05 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I was just on gunner there. And i saw an TM M14 clone, they claim it's firing at 330fps. It comes with a large battery, a high-cap mag and a charger. All that for $85/£43? They claim it has all the metal parts the TM one has. Something seems stingy, are AGM a reliable manufacturer?

TheFull9 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 There's plenty of good reviews and praise been posted about that rifle on here and other sites, so I wouldn't worry about it being a waste, if you want one go for it. Link to post Share on other sites
Guardsman Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 i also heard a roumor that a uk based company will be starting up very soon that deal exclusivly in the new breed of chinese clones Link to post Share on other sites
Bob Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 for that price with all the stuff its surely worth it, right? Link to post Share on other sites
Mt_05 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 What about the Wellfire "Well R5" 300fps with 0.2g. Is this company reliable, or is it a piece of ######? They are selling it for $68 (USD) Link to post Share on other sites
TrooperX Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 i also heard a roumor that a uk based company will be starting up very soon that deal exclusivly in the new breed of chinese clones <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Will probably work out a bit more expensive than if we imported it ourselves but on the plus side should get a warranty!

Mt_05 Posted January 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 I might not get one anymore because i can't find magazines that aren't manufacturer specific. The TM ones only fit TM M14's and the STAR ones only fit STAR M14's. Does anyone know if the TM MP5 magazines will fit the Wellfire "Well R5"? +1 to anyone who helps me Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 They should but don't get it. It is WELL and it is almost all plastic, none standard gearbox parts, etc. The CYMA CM027J is a better MP5. Link to post Share on other sites

(G36c) It's a complete clone of the TM G36c and has the same metal parts. Don't know about the gearbox though, google has failed me there. I'll stop asking questions after i get an answer to this one. I'll +1 everyone who has helped me so far Thanks guys. Link to post Share on other sites

TM and STAR M14 mags don't fit. Link to post Share on other sites

How about some of the other mags like the G&P mids? I think I may have messed up if this is the case - my M!4 is on its way from Gunners and I thought the other mags fitted ok!!!

TheFull9 Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 Apparently the TM magazines work fine, which seeing as it's a clone would make sense to me personally, and if the TMs work then I would have thought most others do to. Strange.. Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe they do fit. The fact that it's a TM clone makes me think that it will take the magazines, as CKinnerley stated. Link to post Share on other sites

This thread is the most comprehensive list of clone reviews I've seen and no mention there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah i had a feeling that it wasn't right. I was thinking that because it's basically the exactly same rifle as the TM version. Thanks for that link by the way, helped alot. I'll hopefully be ordering one of these on Monday (if they aren't all gone already, fingers crossed). Link to post Share on other sites

Out of interest though, considering how cheap the rifle is and how (relatively expensive) the metal G&P mids are, did you not end up spending as much on magazines as you did on the weapon itself?
