Marushin M1 Garand (Full walnut wood version)
Options
-
09-01-2009 12:59am#1I picked up a Marushin M1 Garand from the good folks at eirsoft today. She's an absolute beauty although I've only had a limited chance to fire her but what I can say is this; it's so much fun to fire it's almost criminal
The manual sucks, and my gas set-up seems a little temperamental but that is possibly on account of my not being able to understand the instruction manual which has no English on it and is about as clear as mud.
You'll know when it's fired because the report is noticeable although despite being a GBB there is little recoil beyond what the bolt generates when loading the next round.
Each magazine (plastic) contains 8 rounds (8mm). After that you get a nice "zing" kind of sound as the mag gets top-ejected. The mags do not hold gas. Gas is loaded via the bottom of the rifle (just forward of the trigger-guard & safety)
Finally, the construction is sturdy and racking does not feel "flimsy". This is not a light piece of kit. An arm-wearying 10kg she is not, but an ABS M4 she is neither.
Anyway, pictures10

lemming: try warming the gun beside a radiator, same goes for the gas. theres a decent bit of recoil but you might not be getting the most out of the gas with these low temperatures were having., i was playing with another one after you left today, i stuck it on the heater and it was brilliant., 0

Actually, I stand corrected. There are two versions (the shorter 'tanker' version not withstanding). The limited edition walnut version, and what looks like a 'plain' wood version.would you consider the stripper clips as being disposible?
Not disposable as such since they do cost money. But if redwolf prices are anythign to go by, the plastic versions are $10 and there is a metal version available for $15
*cough*cough* Shiva ... got a special order for you

Asking price from eirsoft was €450.
Being an IAA member I did of course get discount as per the scheme that's running

You are an evil man Shiva tempting all us poor workers in a recession and all.
Recessions are caused by people not spending money on consumer goods.
1- You buy goods.
2- The shop you buy them from can create employment, and buys more goods.
3 - The suppliers the shop buys from creates employment
4 - The people employed spend their wages on goods
5 - The economy grows.
6 - Repeat from Step 1
I'm a big damn hero, single-handedly saving the world economy. Simple as. 0 -
