Alright, so it started back in early February I decided to give the Electric G18C AEP a go and boom, through lots of emails (very quick responses) I was like alright let's do this, however the only thing that bugged me was they only accepted Paypal and still do :P If they get EMT or DD later on they'll have money flying to them haha.

Sooo ... about a week goes by I get it, I had emailed asking what the manufacturer of it was before ordering, they said it was the CYMA G18C AEP or the CM 030, I had seen and heard alot about them and gave it a go.

When I open up the package instead of the CM 030 I find the WELL P01 rebrand from Team SD in the States. I went ohk ... wth? I emailed them back going uhmmm what's going on. They freaked and said we're sorry you can send it back COD. Before I did so I decided to test it out anyways, I would've had to send it back anyways because it was defective, the spring wasn't able to de-compress properly so .2g's weren't going very far.

So I than decided to put the money they owed me towards the SRC Version 2 pre-order. I also decided to pick up an MP5 from them as well going what the heck why not?

Couple weeks later, or say a few days ago I get the first package, but as it's coming they email me going we realize we accidently sent your M4 to someone else and theirs to you, could you please ship it back COD again.

So I'm going ...ahhh crap ... they than offered me either 10k .2g bbs or 2 metal SRC hicaps. I said, don't need those I want this thing shipped to me ASAP and throw in one of your LEDs. They agreed ... but when I took a look at the MP5 they sent me I went WTH again. It wasn't one of the WELL R Series guns I had ordered, in fact it was a no-named China brand from Palco Sports, I recognized it as one of the same guns A&A was selling.

They once again apologized, I said no need because the China MP5 was kicking ass and had mad ROF. But next thing I know to my surprise they not only shipped my M4 free (when they got it back) but they included a FREE, yes people FREE TSD R5 .. .which is the WELL R5 or UTG ...so BAMN I'm happy.

THE BOTTOM LINE: I'd like to let all you know that BuyAirsoft.CA does what they can to keep their customers happy. Though they mix things up (it happens when you have orders flying around). This is my experience with them and I hope this shines some light in confidence for any future buyers.

So get your money ready fools and buy buy buy.

I'd rather cut myslef than ever use paypal again.

I'd rather cut myself than deal with the BS it took to get that order. I mean c'mon, you had to ship it back twice?

I ordered from buyairsoft as well. Got a Glock 17 GBB part-metal and 3000rd 0.20g BB's. Was in my mailbox in less than 48 hours. Can't say anything but good about them.

Good customer service: Maybe.

Professional business practices: Appears to be sketchy at best.

I still question the long term practicality of purchasing non-brand name airsoft guns.

Well A&A's got them lol. Business practises, not quite professional yet, but they are making an effort to get things rolling, just give them some time and more feedback pretty much.

im gona buy some stuff from them now

Your under-aged I don't think so buddy. I'll give them a shout. I can always request your IP from a mod and have it sent to BuyAirsoft.ca

Obey the laws, and respect them. Do so and the community will respect you.

I also got the glock 17 nice GBB the only thing i didnt like was that it was in the mail box... I didnt even sign for it! my GF took it to work befor she realized what it was!! other that that i like them

Did you ask for signature on delivery? If not CP just leaves it.

eh, how's the SRC you got? My buddy was lookin' at one of 'em...

Right now it's looking great, it feels great .. haven't had a chance to shoot it yet though, I have a test and midterm lol. I did take some pictures though :)

My only gripe is that they dont put the bloody brand names on their mid and low range AEGs. They need to add that soon.

Until then Im sticking with A&A.

Hasn't SRC renamed to TSD Tactical? At least according to buyairsoft.ca it seems they have. I'm just wondering about their long term reliability, one of my teammates is getting one from that site so I guess I'll see.

Even if WELL copies TM designs exactly and uses metal mechboxes and gears its still not even close to TM. You can swap all the parts with aftermarket parts and make it just as good or better than a TM but its more money than you would have to spend compared to just getting a TM and doing light upgrades for the same results.

They do you just have to click on the gun to see it and its at the top of the description.

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.

Not likely, neither WELL, CYMA, or Jing Gong have released any news regarding a good P90 .. subscribe to Jia Dyi International, they got lots of juicy stuff ..or just hawk http://www.sunnywarehouse.com

I love how they call themselves "Ging Gung " which means the right way or correct....lol

I'm still waiting for that review on your SRCv2 M4A1... And how much better it is compaired to SRCv1.

Patience, what you're going to get one? So far it's very impressive, I'll actually take it to dead_aim and we can compare. But that won't be until later .. maybe if I was still in secondary school I'd have that time on my hands :P

No, it's because SRC guns are plain bullshit and I want to see the improvement they have made in the v2 guns. If the gun has really transformed and turned into a "high-quality" AEG, I would think about getting one in the future.
Dude you can't do a review on the gun itself? Take some pictures and compair it to other AEGs you've owned?
And where did the whole secondary school crap come from? I'm sure you have time now to meet up with dead_aim.

Have you owned one yourself or know anyone who has? You can't compare an MP5 to an M4 unless you're going to just be looking @ the gearbox.

It's simple, when I have time to make a review a review will come up, stop being so damn impatient.

lol...

aZn_triXta07-- Need a easier name lol jk.
I was wondering do you have any STAR mags?? or know someone who does for your China gun? Once I am done college I might look at getting that m4 with the RIS unit but only if the STAR mags work this way I can get a bunch of mags at once.

I messaged Buyairsoft.ca and they said no one has tried to use the star mags yet.... Also the guy gave me a quote for a different gun...

Anyways,

Thanks.

What china gun are you talking about, the SRC M4 is from Taiwan. If you're talking about the WELL R7 I'm not entirely sure, someone on here said they can't take them ... I'm going to get KA mags for my SRC.

oh sorry, I ment what ever gun you bought from buyairsoft.ca, I was in a hurry the other day.
all good.

I too would second a review for the SRC v2 m4a1. I'm planning on getting one myself but I would need more than just a review written by some newb who knows nothing about airsoft. At least you have a great background in china guns since you own quite a few yourself. Goodluck on your midterms, a review can wait :)

Found this at random when searching for something else on google, figured it was worth the post even though they don't compare it to the SRCv1 but at least they comment on the SRCv2 on its own. http://www.airsoftpacific.com/content.php?page=34

I just ordered from this site, excellent customer service, but i have to wait and see until the package comes.

Ordered one gun, toast out of the box, didn't work worth crap, sent it back and it should get back to them tomorrow at which point they said they'll give me a full refund. Just got my Jing Gong Krinkov today, battery it currently charging, reviews say its decent, bought it as a test.

what did U get?? i got a $200 glock

Just got my CYMA 030 G18C AEP, that thing is as good as all the video reviews and things I've heard, it has excellent accuracy and range! The FPS is obviously lower but this is more than sufficient for CQB!! The red tip comes right off if you use a smal flat tipped screwdriver and bam!

Tested the Jing Gong Krinkov, all I have to say is if it had the ASGK logo, the TM logo, and "made in Japan" written on it you'd be able to fool pretty much anyone. It really is an EXACT clone of a TM and actually does shoot ~350fps and has accuracy comparable to a TM gun with the same barrel length (at least inside my house which is a 40-50' distance.) I'm quite impressed. Also came with a NiMh battery instead of a NiCd, craptastic little wall charger, and a hicap. Quite the newbie starter package.

LUTNIT if you have time do you think you'd crack open the mechbox? One of my friends has a JG G36C on preorder and am wondering about the quality of that. Saw the reviews, JG internals look half decent but I'd like to hear from someone in Canada.

I'm hardly a gun doc and considering its running well now I don't want to risk anything by opening the mechbox since after all is it a cheaper gun. If anything goes wrong it'll be opened in a second by CDN_Stalker and I can get him to snap pics but until then I'd rather keep it the way it is.

I bought the JG spetz from them, should be the same as the krinkov and the G36. The mechbox itself looks a bit shinier then TM ones, and has some imperfections in it. Areas that are really small (ie around the cylinder) seem to be chipped or not cast properly.
I had a tough time trying to get metal bushings in, had to sand the holes with really fine rolled up sand paper for a short while, and freeze the bushings. All the Plastic in the mechbox like the tapet & selector plate, spring guide, nozzle and shit are white while the bushings are black.
It does seem more brittle then TM plastic, but maybe cuz it's white. The cylinder on mine has an inner diameter slightly larger then a stock TM one. I noticed this becasue it was shooting inconsistantly in terms of velocity and hopup. Thought it might have been the hopup but no, definetly not a proper seal around the cylinder and piston head.....both the piston and head look just like TM one though.
The grease is some type of brown transluscent automotive shit, definetly not white lithium. You really really have to reshim. I needed to add 2 shims but only had one to spare. The gears are great though, same as systema re-enforced ones but they say CA on them.
After I reshimmed, regreased/silicon gel, changed the cylinder and spring guide and bushings and that rediculos battery, it was shooting better than a stock TM ver 3 mechbox.

Just have to see how long it lasts.

Just tune it up ..throw on some metal parts the amount you would've paid total would be still alot less than buying a TM than upping from there.

I would still trust a TM more though, just cuz the metal of the mecbox is kinda strange on the JG. Seems like these mechboxes are ones that did'nt pass TM's quality control. Oh yeah, and the screws are preatty shitty, they will get worm heads if they're lossend and tightened too much. or if u have a shitty screwdirver.

You gotta remember some China guns will be better than the others, take the CM 030 for example, Sam from BC Airsoft Supply told me when he was bringing those in he noticed that some preformed alot better than others, some had better quality parts. I've noticed this well with the CYMA 027J, some parts came from different manufacturers, so you'll just have to see.

True that, if your a handy gambling man, might not be a bad idea to pick one up. Make sure you have a reliable TM CA or ICS first though

I ordered a 300 dollar FMU full trades KJW P226

Damn I love the sound of my G18C ...damn my girlfriend took my camera, if not I'd post some sexy pics and videos!!

what is it? i looked it up on their site but i couldnt find it?

I like there deal with ICS M4 lol At least they stated its latest version of ICS M4.. I wish they could bring in the with Colt trades.

bought the last one!

Wow...I keep hearing about how fast their shipping and service is. I ordered a G36 C before they were soldout. It has been over six full business days since my payment went through, and still no gun. I live in BC...only one province away.
How are people managing 48 hour shipping times????

They send the packages out within 48 hours, they don't guarantee 48 shipping times. I'm in Ottawa and both my packages took more than a full week to get to me. Both orders where placed on Sunday/Monday and I didn't receive either until the following Tuesday.

well i got my gun in bout 5-6 days but the thing i didnt like is that it was shoved in my mailbox. (scary) the next 2 things i orderd from asca and bb bastards i asked for someone to sign for it and again shoved in my mail box...so maby some one stole it??

They probably saw you weren't age verified and took it until you are.

No...they said they send it. I'm probably older than they are...

I dont even know what thats implicating.. Im probably older then they are.

I'm not "implicating" anything.
What I'm implying is that I don't believe they are holding until I am age verified. As an aside I added that I am probably older than they are...
poor attempt at irony or humour I suppose...:(

just got the gun, i literally pulled the orange tip off with my fingers. this is wicked sweet GBB, i love it. full trades and everything! they even threw is free BBs!

PICTURES!!!

Ditto!!!

Cheers,
Alex

here they is boyos, i know i am so bad at taking pics, (cuz my cam is a huge piece oh shit.) but ill take any pics you want if you request. I LOVE THIS GUN. it functions alot like a real one i found, the slide is on nice. when i threw it down on my girlfriends dads counter (he is a huge firearms collector) he was like, where the hell did you get 1100 for a SIG? I had to show him the inner barrel and mag before he caught on. (if you really know your sigs you could pic it right off.) I can answer any questions you have.

I wonder if it compatible with aftermarket part upgrades.

yup, all guarder parts work, but ive been told barrels might need filling to fit.

Ah i see, thanks might fit my Wanted ad. I'm more interested in the internal upgrades and springs.

JG G36C
 

I received my G36C in the mail last week. I am very impressed. Everything is rock solid. There were a few discrepencies between what came in the box and what was listed in the manual. It came with a 8.4V 1100 mah NiMH ( which I prefer over niCd anyway ) and wall charger ( 4-5 hour charge) HiCap magazine ( 470 rounds ) cleaning rod, manaul, target sheets and the gun of course.
The manual is pretty funny. The English sounds dorky in many instances, but I suspect that is pretty typical of Asian airsoft manuals.
The gun operates well, the hop-up didn't need adjusting. It hits quite hard, and has a decent RofF. I like the fact that I don't have to pain the tip black as it is not orange like the Echo1. And despite what Echo1 says to the contrary, I suspect it is exactly the same as an Echo1 with regard to quality. THe JGs are nice, and I will be adding an M4 and the Beta Spets to my collection from JG.
I am a newbie and have no idea how to take the darn thing apart and how to upgrade internals yet.
There might be something wrong with my email program as I haven't been able to contact BuyAirsoft since buying the gun.
I hope to do business with them again soon.

According to the HK guys over at Arnies, JG and Echo1 guns are actually made in the same factory. They supposedly differ on QA, with guns destined for Echo1 going through more screening than guns for JG.

Hope to be getting mine in sometime this or next week, hopefully this. Giving me good hopes of this buy. Can't wait now to get it. G36 here I come.

I'm guessing the G36 you bought was under their "Mid Range (plastic/metal)" category?

It is considered a "mid/high"

http://buyairsoft.ca/catalog/product...roducts_id=146

Hope the link works....

350 FPS with .2's ????

Is this real or false advertising?

Chornied my JG AK Krinkov with a F1 chrony I bought at Le Barons and it shoots 341-350fps with KSC 0.20's. Fired about 10 shots, most where in the 345-349 range but two hit 350 and one hit 341.

I wish I had a chrono to tell...it tore the heck out of a pop can at 20 feet in semi-auto, and obliterated it in full auto. All JGs have a high FPS listed... in fact the JG M16 on their site claims a 350-380 fps.
INtital quality seems to be quite high...time will tell if the gun lasts a long time...hopefully by that time I will be able to fix it and upgrade parts as they wear out or break.

Once I get the TM 600rnd hicap I'm going to put this thing through its paces, act as a support gunner with it for a couple rounds and just whore the ammo out. I've already inadvertently done the 5' drop test, not a scratch on it.

That'll be 50 push ups... -

Nah, only if it was a TM.

Replace the cylinder for a more consistant velocity. Mine had a slightly oversized inside diameter.......

lol, fair enough

With the price you pay for it, you can stick the same aftermarket parts and ups you would've done to a TM and in the end you'd have saved $$$, internal wise, if you know what you're doing you can re-shim and fix whatever u like. Plus with JAFA you can get any Marui spare parts dirt cheap.

FYI for those like me who wanted to see an SRC rifle in action.

Video "review" of the SRC M4A1

Unfortunately no words or commentary, but a nice overview of the rifle.

Does it say if this one is the VERSION 2? I haven't actually seen a Version 1 but that one there looks identical to what I got minus the crane stock. I haven't cracked mine open but it sounds awesome, good power with fast ROF.

No, doesn't say. The video was uploaded Aug/06, if that helps. Don't know when they started putting the V2's in.

Things I've found about my Jing Gong AK:
-The hicap retention tab that holds the BB's in is really weak and when the hicap is fully wound the tab isn't always strong enough and sometimes a stream of BB's sprays out at random
-The 8.4V 1050mAh NiMh battery that came with it used about 444mAh to shoot ~1000 shots fired in ~200 BB "bursts" (battery charged at 3A using a Duratrax ICE charger.) So the gun is quite efficient on battery life.
-The 250rnd hicap only really holds ~230rnds and doesn't fire the last 30-35 shots that are split between the feeding tube and 10-20 left in the reservoir
-After firing ~1500 shots the gun is still going strong

I recently got an SRC M16A4 from them. At splatters it was shooting 300 with .20 bastard bbs. Had a nice high ROF. The only things I didn't like about it was the front handguard was a little loose, the piston, and there seemed to be alot of extra wire in the full stock. When I cracked open the mechbox, it looked pretty good inside. THe mechbox was definately reenforced and there were metal bushings. It wasn't overly greased either. I replaced the piston with a stock TM one. I checked the shimming and it seemed good. I'm not sure how the gear will last but I've got a set of stock TMs in case the worst happens. The hopup was nice and tight so it won't back off after a few dozen rounds. The two 300rnd high caps don't seem t o have a problem feeding. This gun is going toa get a workout soon. I replaced the stock spring with a 1.4J so I'm looking forward to trying it out.

That's the same rifle I was looking at getting.

How sturdy is it? Nice feel to it? How's the barrel wobble and creak?

Thanks!

The front handguard is solid for mine, I only had a minor barrel wobble but that's cause the screw holding the outer barrel wasn't tight in the first place, got a hex wrench and it's solid now. As for the full stock I haven't had any issues with the wiring being too long. It's awesome right now

As for the release date on that video I believe the V2's started coming out in January, so that MAY be an older one ...but who knows. Don't take this statement of mine as fact :P I haven't paid too much attention to SRC until now.

Just got a delivery notice for my slither stock M4, was at school when the mail truck came so I gotta pick it up tomorrow. I'll add anything if I find anything weird about mine. I'll be rewiring mine to the rear in short order for a battery bag and maybe in the future a crane stock but I do like the plain jane look of a normal non-special forces uber l33t M4.

It's a nice solid rifle, good weight to it, delta ring spring is nice and strong. The motor seems comparable to a TM EG1000 though i've only put about 600 rounds thropugh it so far. If there is any barrel wobble it's probably because the set screws need tightening, mine were loose from shipping I expect. I haven't really found any creaking in it yet and I slung it aroudn my hosue yesterday and had it on for a few hours to and it was still good.

I think I may have been a bit biased on that, I custom wire all my guns so I was just really referring to personal preference.

It is very nice and solid, yeah I love the sound of the gearbox, but it's not comparable to the upgraded V2 one I got sitting around, I may stick that in to checkout the compatiblity.

The site doesn't work for me...

I can enter, but there is a blank page after the banner page

checked the source code... and it's empty HTML...

talking about the Buyairsoft one

Weird, works for me, maybe try another browser?

weird... had to browse throught a proxy...

thanks anyway :)

half way through buying an ICS m16, no direct contact with them at the moment... saved 100$ compared to warcraft, more details after i recieve the rifle
