Need a new AEG... already own a PTW, which to downgrade to ?

[Ronins]

Hey all gear whores...

I didn't think this day will come but i am not active like i used to be and rarely have the time to shoot Airsoft/Milsim...

Just have too many projects going on with real guns, so i rarely shoot airsoft...

So, i own and used a PTW many many years now and feel like that its best i get a cheaper AEG and just have something if i was gonna go to a Milsim... rather a expensive PTW laying here and gathering dust...


What do i downgrade to ?

I want something that just works super good... don't want to spend time fixing or modding just to have a decent gun...

Really need something which has a good trigger like the PTW if its possible...

Don't want something as expensive as a PTW... but rather a quality gun with awesome trigger... Is this possible ?

Open to all suggestions...


Thank you all for your time and wisdom...

I have bought a Jing Gong 416 - did a few minor upgrades on it regarding bearings - spring - inner-barrel and had a blast with. Has been a loyal companion for many many years till I swapped it for a PTW.

One other brand I see with good reviews is Specna Arms.

The best "China" made aeg's are King Arms and G&P.

The rest is garbage. JG, GG, etc. Ask me how I know.

I wouldn't consider anything else, if you just have to downgrade which I never would.

@mappie... Its easy to upgrade to the best but to downgrade its much harder... thats why i am asking for suggestions.

@black... Sounds like you are saying Tokyo Marui is also Garbage ?


I have open the same thread in another forum and many mentions "Tokyo Marui NGRS HK416 Devgru" or "Tokyo Marui NGRS CQBR M4"... Don't have any experience with those...

I was also looking at this: http://www.tippmann.com/p/m4-carbine-airsoft

Don't really know whats better or not...

Hopefully some in here can shed some lights on the mentioned guns...

Thank you all.

Not at all. But TM was a benchmark in AEG over 10 years ago.
They most definately fell off.

I would go with GP. Scratch that, I would got with PTW, but since you're getting into this criminal move that's my input.

P.S. You got a pm.

A HK from VFC/Umarex (with an ASCU installed) will surely do! I have the CQB version and it is ...not PTW but very similar!
