New to AZ Airsoft scene, old to airsoft

[GiantPenguin]

Well, kind of old - if you take 5 years of airsoft between here and SD old.  Anyway, just looking to meet up with the locals and see if I can't get into some good games around here.  

On with the introduction!

I'm Jim, I like long walks on th...... nevermind.  I have a total of 5 guns in my airsoft collection now and roughly 4 full sets of combat gear.  My two AEGs are becoming slightly aged and it's been more than a task to keep up with the reliability issues with a first generation CA M16A4, and I do mean first generation - YEARS!  Not to mention my old AE MP5A4 is coming down with a case of the old and creeky.  I'm almost debating throwing new GB's in both of them, completely custom ones at that.  Thank god I still have my M700 and the two pistols but those just keep me out of my realm a little too much- assault.

My armory:

CA M16A4
AE MP5A4
KJW M700
WE Hi-Capa
Western Arms Series 70 Gov. Model (1911)

By the way, does anyone happen to have any suggestions about reviving old AEGs or perhaps just grabbing new ones?  It would be very much appreciated.  Thanks.

-Jim

Edit:  Might be looking for a team, if any teams are interested in new, but experienced members, throw me a call: 6023730287

That's cool. Go to the game tomorrow.

We don't really have teams, and for reason. Just do your own thing.

two questions:  Where's it at and is it free? lol kinda broke until Thursday.  I might have to fix both my guns tonight, I'm not sure if I can get them both operational for a game without buying new parts.  Pretty sad when a backup needs a backup.

What's up man... i'm pretty new, too... well, to "AZ Airsoft."  I started out in Okinawa Japan (I lived on Kadena Airbase).  It's been about 5 years for me, too since i've been in the game... though there was a time of no-play.  Nice set of arms.

[Vince]

Yeah they are. Airsoft is always free here. Well, there is like, one pay-to-play a game a year, but those are obvious.

I ended up tearing both the problematic guns apart and making a franken-gun based in the MP5 frame, I would've done it to the M16 but the older AR frames from CA have the most horrible feed problems in the world so the MP5 was the lucky winner of the hybrid Ver.3 gearbox.  However my M16 will not die, rather it will be more or less re-born with these bad-boys applied;

And a new receiver for it with the newer style hopup because the old CA hopup was REALLY buggy the way BBs went into the barrel, feed problems out the ass.  

Anyway, I can't wait to get into the game out here with you guys, especially when I get that Systema setup.
