I received the TM M14 yesterday and damn that gun is pretty impressive even right in the box. The gun and magazines were in near mint condition (a few scratches here and there) and functioned flawlessly. Even in its stock form I could see why people were saying the M14 is the most accurate AEG, every shot is so consistant! The BB doesn’t travel very quickly (suppose to shoot around 95m/s stock) but it shoots straight and that’s most important.

At 112cm in height and 6kg in weight, the gun is very big and heavy and I dread carrying it around all day. Haha Mark was kind enough to offer to hold it for me while we’re in the field on Sunday, too bad we’re on opposing teams. 😉 Hehe Mark I’ll be gunning for you and with this thing I’ll definitely outrange ya easily. 😀

I have since upgraded the gun with metal bushings, a Guarder spring guide and Guarder SP100 spring and it should be shooting in the rage of 115m/s. With the 6.03mm Prometheus tightbore inner barrel and Guarder cylinder kit (which is coming in the mail), that should boost the muzzle velocity to a nice 120m/s. I have to say though, the TM M14 is the worst gun I have ever worked on!!! There are litterally a hundred parts that are 2-3mm in size and the manual does not show how to put things back together! 🙁 Took me almost two hours to figure out what goes where and in the end I still have a small spring extra (3mm in length). The TM M14 seems to shoot ok so I’m not going to tear it apart to find out where that spring goes. I guess if it breaks on Sunday I’ll know I screwed up, in the mean time I’ll keep it till I open the thing again.

Cosmetic upgrades include a King Arms Bipod and Bushnell 3-9 x 40 scope to give the TM M14 a sniper look. 🙂

The second picture shows the TM M14 compared to my TM G36C, quite a difference in size eh? I’ll get an idea at how the M14 performs when I play at Flag Raiders on Sunday, will report back on how it goes then. 😀
