Echo 614- anyone have exp. with its durability?
« on: January 20, 2008, 08:59:22 PM »
I'm looking for an aeg as an alternate to my primary (I break shit) on a bit of a budget. What I've read about the echo 614 is good...but I haven't seen any reviews of long-term durability. Wondering if anyone has run a bunch of rounds through theirs, and what their feel of this gun is.

How good are you at gearboxes?

Its standard JG plastic with a metal front plus the thing shoots over 400fps even with a broken in spring. ASR and Arnies tend to have reviews of ACMs.

Arnies you need an account.

with nothing but a 14.5" barrel mine is shooting around 420-430. if you step down one notch on the spring then you may be able to get it back into usable range for local games.

I have found my 614 to be very good and while I have only shot about 5k rounds through it I have found no faults.

stock the gun comes with some minor issues like a loose r.i.s that can be fixed with a little gaffers tape around the bolt hole. and a little loose inner barrel ( 14.5" mad bull )that can be fixed with minor shimming and made a nice differance in my accuracy at 100+ feet.

its that damn peq2 box that pisses me off

Buy a Classic Army Crane Stock or a LiPoly Battery (that fits in the buffer tube) and rewire the gearbox. Problem solved.

I\'ve touched that gun with my hand which had touched my penis. I hope you did not touch your mouth after touching that gun. That would mean your had put part of my penis in your mouth.

Except that the wall charger that comes with it is running a 220V imput rather than 110.
