those are pretty expensive for a starter
sorry for google link, i'm not sure which page to post.

ugly exterior, 'eh' internals, and an unnecessarily high price
here's a nice
AKM for around the same price. Steel, real wood, proven reliable internals/externals, and apparently comes stock with a tightbore. The only problem is that it shoots very hot in the mid-400 FPS range, which for many fields isn't legal with fully automatic guns. This
AK74M is nice as well and fires below 400, but imo the choice of polymer over wood on a kalash is just unacceptable
Edit: got my upgrades list for my JG G36C-- I won't be buying/upgrading it until early 2014 but hey it pays to plan ahead. My goals:
-16-18 RPS (I'm mainly in it for the trigger response)
-380 FPS (IIRC it came stock with an M110; it feels as if it's shooting at 350)
-increase max effective range by at least 20' (FPS increase should do this)
-rELIABILITY INCREASE
Upgrades:
-
G&P shims -
SHS double O-ring cylinder head -
JG 7mm bearing bushings -
VB-Power 9.6 1600 -
Lonex POM piston head -
Maybe a coolio suppressor for added swag points -a few DIY upgrades(teflon airseal crap, AOE correction, maybe make a MOSFET b/c yolo(anyone know more cheap DIY mods? :p))
-and I've already replaced the stock plastic spring guide with a steel one w/ bearings
I'm not sure if I
really need a new piston or air nozzle. Surprisingly I'm able to get 1" groupings at +25 yards outdoors, and my hop-up seems to be doing its job well so I'm not going to bother upgrading my barrel or hop-up components, and I'm sure my FPS will be around what I want with the piston/cylinder head upgrades so I don't plan on buying a new spring (im dutch so i like to save money k just following the stereotype)
