Uhmmm ... TSD re-brands SRC guns, they are still the same thing maybe with differences due to specifications from Team SD.

In regards to China air that are 100% clones of Marui, CA etc. It's not the difference of the parts. And no it's not alot more money. The main difference is that the China guns haven't been as fine-tuned, RaygisLasVegas can tell you about that one. I've done lots of comparisons with Chinese MP5s with Marui, maybe the paint is different, and some parts are of better quality. But when you upgrade it won't cost alot more unless you're getting ripped off for aftermarket parts. Yanhchan has a UTG and he's upgraded it pretty good, his UTG was $220 at the time, though he got it for free, he got it upgraded for less than a $100 and it shoots better than a stock Marui.

That and the pratices of a store that doubles as a paintball field who has reportedly sold to minors.

Sure, a place like this is going to get rave reviews from new people...but then again, I have only heard stuff from new people with little to no experience with quality guns. No offense aZn_triXta07, but with SRC and CYMA guns, its hard to really take buyairsoft.ca seriously.

As expected, Im about as likely to buy from buyairsoft.ca as I am to buy softair from walmart.

Hey I have no issue and don't take offense cause I can totally understand where you guys are coming from. I've had myself a Marui and was like DAMN this is hawt. I still think it is, like most of us before wouldn't even touch Classic Army because of the quality of the internals, now their new releases are killling it! I'm sure those the rice farmers will pick up.

As for SRC, Raygis's got one of the new AKs, he's actually keeping it ... guy like him who can buy whatever he wants, take it from him.

i wana see pics too!!

show me the hop up unit if you can..

My son and I have received Two pistols and two rifles from them in the last three weeks.

1.CO2 M-9 (HFC) great gun, full metal shoots VERY hard and straight.
2.WE Hi-Cappa full metal, extremely accurate.
3.WELL R-8 (G3SAS) Mag is crap (used my TM hi cap) to test, good hop-up shoots straight, same as TM
4.TSD-SDERM100...M-14, heavy gun (12lbs loaded w/battery) battery was crap.

To sum up...the pistols are a steal at their prices....the R-8! for $220 a good buy, it is lighter than a TM but a great platform, with some up grade parts you might have $350 into it, but it will out range a TM and last just as long for $200 less.
My M-14 is outstanding!, I did have to work on it a bit though, it would double feed due to a bad hop-up design, the BB would sit too far forward against the nub, with the pressure of the mag spring two BBs would go down range, I replaced the hop rubber, all is good now, Chronographs at 303-312fps with very good hop-up and shoots straighter than some of my $1200 AEGs!!

It is true I have not done a lot of shooting to see how other parts and pieces stand up (wiring, switches, connections etc) but at this point I am very happy, again this coming from someone who has many AEGs, pistols, sniper rifles all in the $800 plus range.

If you are starting out in airsoft, you might want to consider starting with a TM, pretty much user friendly and there are not many surprises, but if you like to up-grade, like platform guns, you cant go wrong with "SOME" of the China stuff!

I will try to give more up-dates on these, we will be buying more in the near future.


Cheers

i was to buy their p90 but having eard only sh!t about it i changed my mind for the xm8, wich i know now that the TM g36c v3mechbox fit in. Ill post my comment on the service and the gun itself when ill hve it but cant compare to nothing else since it will be my first. i try to put a video of it on youtube when ill get it.

aZn_triXta07 you seem to be in the know here. Whats the quality difference between Palco Sports and WELL? The price difference between the Palco MP5 and WELL M4 is small so are they comparable? Just that I've heard of WELL before but I've never heard of Palco sports.

Quality difference? The guns are the same, WELL ... WELLFIRE China is the manufacturer but Palco imports directly from them, when they bring them over into the States they just re-name them as UTG or FirePower. Sometimes however in this case such as Team SD, they may request a few slight differences in the product they bring in, for one if you buy the SRC V2 direct you'll get a nice hard case for it, here you don't :P

Did you get a hard case with your M4?

I believe I said I didn't?

Just that I'm sitting here looking at my spare parts: a set of metal bushings, STAR steel standard ratio gears, polycarbonate piston, stock CA inner barrel, two mini batteries that don't work in any of my guns, and a spare M90 spring........I may snag that MP5SD and throw some of my spare parts in it and see how it works out. Worst case scenario I throw a stock TM ver.2 mechbox in it if the stock one cracks/blows/etc.

I'm considering recommending them to a friend who wants a cheap M14, assuming TSD M14s are really AGM. I wish they were rebanded Cyma or UTG M14s, but hey.

I agree with others here about their non/labeling of lower-end guns, though. I hate it when stores do that.

Thanks for the excellent writeup, but how many threads do we need regarding this retailer? Unless you're trying to start a grassroots movement to get them on the "canadian retailers" list. Then do carry on ;)

This is the second one, first one got locked because of some debate about China air and it was about if anyone had ordered from them.

This one is regarding my experience ...the other one is from Styrak.

fair enough - if they ever get in a P90 w/ a metal mechbox, I might be inclined to place an order.
