MGC M16

MGC M16, A very plasticy feeling gun to be honest ( but then it is a plastic gun but you know what i mean) very light, barrel can wobble at times but it fires real well and i would rather have a plastic model that fires this well than a metal one that never fires or takes a huge amount of work to fire this reliably. The stoppages were simple down to the det pin getting dirty and rounds starting to stick to it, so occasional eject problems.
This is a fun model to fire.

Very nice. If only Marushin ones fired the same

One thing I did see on the vid was the ejection port cover looked like it flaps a bit, I don't think it caused any eject issues but it's something to keep and eye on.

I will check that out next time 8ace, nice spot.

Thank you very much for this impressing video!

I have to agree, the ABS MGC M16 series is very light, and the shiny plastic looks and feels not as good as the later HW series. Anyway the HW material is more prone to breaking, so I prefer to fire the ABS models (I have a XM177E2 and a M16A1). They fire quite good out of the box.

I hope I will find the time to take my model out again soon.

I noticed that Francky Fukudome has posted a reply. Is that Francky from the forum?

Thanks MadMike, yes that is Francky off this forum.

Thank you so much! This brings up a lot of golden memories. I hope he is doing fine and so are you, mate!

Wow - that is running great! Thanks for posting up the vid!!!

It was my experience that the ABS models also fired better than the HW models!
Are you running MGC rounds or Tanio Koba?

MGC rounds Ljerr2, never had a problem with them. HW is good for some parts of a model but i find that good old ABS is less prone to break, its just not as brittle as HW. Which is why i wish MGC had stuck to ABS barrels on there 1911 models as those HW barrels are terrible.

I dig out my MGC ABS XM177E2 for the weekend ...

Time to put some rounds through it MadMike
