Echo 1 M14 AEG (Metal Body, Wood Color) (JP-46W)
The M14 by Echo 1 is an old skool infantry rifle. This edition features a beautiful faux wood stock that is durable to all but the most vicious of abuse. The receiver assembly and most of the barrel is metal and is quite durable. Different from most firearms, the M14's safety switch is not on the selector group, but actually in front of the trigger guard. Full forward and the safety is off, push all the way back into the trigger guard and the safety is on. This rifle comes with two 440 round high capacity magazines and there are plenty of replacements available. When choosing a replacement mag, don't be fooled, the G&G and Classic Army M14 magazines WILL NOT fit. The battery compartment is located inside the stock and is accessed by flipping up the butt plate cover then opening the small door on the plate. You must use either Marui or Marui clone magazines. Airsoft players love to use this rifle with their Vietnam era kit and recommend getting the scope mount and a wicked optic for that cool sniper look. The included battery is a NiCd type. For optimum performance it is recommended to get a charger with a discharge function.
