AGM Full Metal Airsoft Gun Parts Review

Have you seen the new AGM full metal airsoft gun series that are now trickling into retailers in the USA.? My airsoft gun wholesaler called me up the other day to inform me the new AGM Full Metal M-series guns had arrived, so I ordered a few specimens to review and test to see how these compare to other airsoft brands.

Several days later the UPS guy dropped off my new airsoft guns and I excitedly ripped open the packing material. I was impressed with the solid packing and nice looking boxes these new guns are packaged in. The kit contained 1 poly cleaning rod, 1 8.4 volt battery and charger, 1-1 1/2 inch sling, 1 VN style metal hi-capacity magazine (180 rnds) and 1 metal m16 vented flashider and 1 almost user friendly operators manual.

The full metal body and RIS system are very nicely made and well balanced, NO WOBBLES!!The M16 CQB version features a mini full stock and comes with a large size battery that uses a small tamiya connector. The custom contoured handgrip and full metal adjustable rear site are very nice extras and add to the sleek design of these AEG's.

I charged up the battery and commenced test firing...These AGM models chronographed at 380 FPS out of the box, with a smooth 850-900 round a minute ROF. Slipped in a 9.6 volt battery and the rate of fire increased to around 1100-1150 RPM....SWeeeeeeeeeet! Tried out my JG 300 Round Hi capacity M4 Magazine and it fed BB's flawlessly through this AEG.
At 15 yards I was holding 2 inch groupings without any effort. The hop up adjustment is easy to dial in and features a wide degree of adjustment allowing for easy dial in accuracy.

As is customary, my first thought when a new AEG arrives is lets tear it apart and see what makes it tick. The tear down was very easy and standard as far as airsoft repairs go. The hop up unit on the AGM guns is standard in size but they have used a clear poly for the hop body allowing you to see how the internals of the unit work. The V2 gearbox internals are standard and pre-upgraded with 8MM metal bushings and a metal spring guide...Very Nice! The tappet plate , selector plate, piston, cylinder head and other internals were easily interchanged with JG, and marui parts...Another huge plus! The mechanical safety lever is made of metal and gives the trigger a solid lock when the selector switch is in safety mode. The hi speed steel gears are smooth and quiet running.
All in all I think the AGM M-series full metal airsoft guns are a great bang for your buck and will share many welts in 2009 on airsoft fields across the USA. If you are shopping for a new full metal airsoft gun then I would not pass these by. See all the M-series full metal agm airsoft guns here.
