UTG/KART M14
« on: August 31, 2007, 07:19:25 PM »
I know that this is a fairly cheap gun, So its not like I am expecting CA/TM quality... With that being said I have a few questions about the gun that I have not been able to get a strait answer to online...so I am asking anyone here who has owned the gun at some point.

1: Are the mags truly TM compatible, I have read some reviews that say that the TM Standards and TM compatible midcaps wont feed through the gun. (Other reviews state that they feed fine)

2: Will the gun accept a tightbore barrel? (A few reviews are stating that the inner diameter of the outer barrel is too small for a tightbore barrel)

3: Any other quirks that I should know about.

I don't intend for this gun to receive alot of use, I have other guns for that...this is going to be more of a DMR project...I just want to know at this point if it will even be feasible to do anything to it.

The people at airsoftretreat are like 12 and highly retarded. 99.99% of them do not own guns they bash so much. At all the games I've been to I seem to be the black sheep with clones.

I suggest you wait a month or two for the CYMA. They are reported to be 10x better with an included 6.04 tightbore and as he says "100% TM clone".

Echo 1 Doesn't make a full length M14...This is for a DMR so a SOCOM won't work.

Besides, the Echo 1 Socom is a rebrand of the Kart anyway (so it won't be any more reliable, it will just come in a pretty blue box).

I used an AGM M14 for awhile, not sure if they are the same (i've heard so many conflicting stories about one being a rebrand of another).  I can say the AGM was 100% compatible and a decent gun for the price.  The only issue I had with mine was that you had to file a bit of the TM mags to get them to fit smoothly (they fit stock but dont click in smoothly without mods).  However, once the mags are modded they still fit the TM so you can always keep you old mags and kit when/if you upgrade to a TM...

TSD is not a manufacturer, they merely rebrand their M14...Which from my understanding is also a rebrand of the Kart, Its the exact same gun with a different name slapped on it.

Thanks for your input, But I am looking for info from people who have owned one.

Kileyhaz, Thanks... It sounds like the AGM is definately the better of the Clone M14s currently available.  I might just hold off for the CYMA, or just save a little more and get the CA.
