608 [J.G.Works]

If Taiwangun hold a best first replica to own on a budget these would be one of the top contenders.
We give them to new players for free in my team so the can test out the hobby.
We have purchased 4 them untill now 2 last year,the have near to zero problems,good performance and nice solid polymer construction.Only downside is that the fire selector might get loose and fell off but this can be fixed with a drop of glue .

The J.G.608 is a budget airsoft rifle for those who are considering starting airsoft as a hobby. But after receiving it, I think it would be an excellent addition even for experienced airoft players. Let's take a look:

The box comes with the rifle (who would have guessed right?), a high-cap magazine, a battery, a charger, a cleaning rod, a small bag of BBs, a manual with a target and a piece of paper with the fps that was measured during testing written on it. Let's take a look at each part.

The gun: The gun itself has a great feel to it, almost like holding the real G36c. Honestly, it felt even heavier than the 2.63 kg it says it weighs. It is made of aluminum and abs, but it feels incredibly sturdy with practicly zero wobbling. The metal parts are the rails, the iron sights, the trigger, the fire selector, the stock release button as well as all of the internals. The gun comes with two rails in case you like using attachments like scopes and lasers. By pulling back the charging handle, you will reveal the hop up unit. If you want to keep the bolt open to adjust the hop up, pull it back without moving the little lever to the side. That way it will ''fall'' in a little hole and stay open as long as you desire. The iron sights are pretty clean and they are adjustable too. The stock is rubberised which gives it a very nice and comfortable feel while shouldering the replica. Also the gun is ambidextrous. The little lever on the charging handle turns both ways and you have a fire selector on each side. So no need to worry if you are right or left handed, this replica will suit you either way.

The magazine: The magazine was a particularly pleasant surprise. It feels incredibly sturdy and quite heavy, which is a rare thing with budget replicas. It fits perfectly in the magwell and the magazine release is kinda big making it easy and comfortable to press (another ambidextrous characteristic). It has a very generous capacity of 470 BBs and it feeds very well. One thing to note is that the little hatch that you open to insert the BBs will be a bit hard to open the first time, so dont be afraid to give it a little push. You can also attach another magazine on it for quicker reloads, due to the two circular attachment points on it. So you can go dual mag style for extra tactical points.

Battery and Charger: The replica comes with your typical 8.4 V 1100 mAh battey and a simple charger. The battery compartment is inside the handguard. You can access it by removing the pin that holds the handguard and sliding it forward. It can be a tight fit at first, but if you get used to it, it won't be any trouble to fit your battery in with the wires. Of course, if you dont like the simple charger, you can buy a smart one to avoid overcharging the battery.

Now time for the more exciting part: the shooting. Using 0.25 BBs, with the 365 fps configuration, it was decently accurate at 50 meters, after hop up adjustments and on a windless day. You can also shoot further away, by using a few more BBs (or by getting a little lucky). Considering the price. I believe accurate shots at 50 meters is quite respectable. I would recommend 0.23 or 0.25 BBs as the gun is strong enough to shoot accurately with them. When it comes to using it in games, the battery did last for a three hour game and the replica was always on point. However, if you take part in longer games (or maybe you are a little bit trigger happy), I sugget either a second battery or a bigger battery.

A few things to note:
- If at some point the replica dry fires do not panic. I found that switching fire modes always fixed the issue. Of course if that doesnt work either you can always contact the support team for answers.
- I haven't tried the dual mag setup, so i suggest you do some research before trying it
-The replica has a few sling attachment points, in case using slings is your style. Make sure to get one that is big enough to suit your needs.
-The delivery was faster than last time taking only 8 days. For a delivery from Poland to Greece I think it is alright

All in all, for 106 euros you get: a sturdy and ambidextrous replica that's comfortable and easy to handle, with respectable accuracy and a chunky magazine with big capacity and the ability to use a dual mag setup. That sounds like a bargain to me if I have ever seen one. Its long term reliability is yet to be determined, but so far it works perfectly. If you are a fan of H&K like me (or maybe a cod mw4 Gaz enjoyer), this is an excellent option, whether you are on a budget or looking to expand your collection.

If you got this far thank you for reading my review! I hope i gave you enough information to understand what this replica is all about. If you do decide to purchase it make sure to take care of it and enjoy it!

Very well working replica. The body is solid, there are no gaps or movement in parts. M4 adapter requires to use force to prevent mags from falling out, but feeds well. Specna Arms s mag doesn't work, cyma standard M4 mags do work.

Both 2 of the to be used as guest rifles in our team.
Externally the are the same quality as the cyma ones.
The perform excellent for their price (80$) on pair with basic cyma ones and even some cyma blues .
Would recommend to anyone looking to start airsoft on a budget .

I had the opportunity to shoot real G36C, 5,56, and this replica is not far off - the biggest difference is the weight of the mags that are superlight compared to brass-full real mags. But the rifle itself is made from combination of steel and plastic, and the replica is the same.
This replica is well made, shoots straight, and is very reliable. Out of the box it only has one picatinny rail in the hand guard, but has holes on the sides to add two more. Great feature: quick change of the spring, without disassembling the whole gear box - simply fold the stock, push in the pin and rotate 90deg to get it out. Hop up adjustment is also sufficiently broad to allow using 0.20 up to 0.30 bb's. Out of the box it shoots quite well, I always upgrade inner barrel and hop up rubber but it is not really needed. For the price this is unbeatable, and quite fun to play with.

Best starter gun for the price. Build is solid. Feeds without issues. Compared to the cyma high speed, body is nicer, straight( my cyma was had a warped receiver) quick change spring, gearbox is better casting quality, 8mm bearings. Endless part support, can go wrong here.

JG608 is a great option for beginners, due to its light weight, price, and ease of use. The replica has a little play, CYMA magazines need to be hammered in to fit into place. I recommend it to everyone, the replica is really good.

Probably the best price/performance ratio gun on Taiwangun.

Externals - very good - plastic is nice and nothing rattles/wiggles.
Internals - good (some parts need changing for longetivity)
Very consistent FPS!
Good shimming.

Small battery space! I filed away some plastic so i could fit 7,4v lip 2600mAh. Battery itself fits but the wires had nowhere to go :)

Piston with one metal tooth - i changed it for full metal rack one because i put in a stronger spring.
Weak motor if using stronger spring - I put in ASG 30k.

Im using it with 7,4 30C lipo and now performance is excellent.
I tried it with 11,1 lipo but feeding became an issue with my configuration - i think it needs a mosfet for that.

I thought about upgrading it more but it does not need it! Maybe a mosfet later on but its fine as is now.

Works as expected. Good replica of the real gun. Perfect choise for beginners.
However consider to buy some additional stuff like lipo battery and magazines to ease loading and have better experience while shooting

Perfect as a first weapon. the plastic does not crack. the hop-up is easily adjustable. the standard deviation is fine. the battery is also perfectly fine. charge level led on the charger. I recommend it to everyone who likes this style.

However it is cheaper than some more quality models, it feels awesome to shoot with it, and it lives up to those. Have not bought it long ago (arrived on 21. 12. 2022.), but works flawlessly yet. It is comfortable to hold, unlike some other G36 replicas, and the accumulator it came with, its capacity is bigger than any I have had before. I think this one is a perfect model for those who are starting airsoft.


P.S.: I have heard its Hop-Up damages quickly, let's see if it is true. If it happens, I will write the date of noticing. I recommend it nevertheless.

Everything's good except some loosen parts at the handguard.

The surface looks good & feels good. Overall weight is pretty well-balanced up to 3 kg. All the moving parts are well-designed and built. Considering the price maybe one of the best product.

However, there's something moving inside the handguard. Cannot really identify or locate what or where it is. Kinda annoying.

The best AEG for begginers.

for this price you will receive everything yuou need to start airsoft game.

very good replica, with fair enought accumuliator.

extra mags are very cheap.

it will have from the box 120~125m/s which is more then enought for short distance fights :)

Turn auto and enjoy it :)

Very nice replica. Looks good and feels very sturdy. Everything worked fine right out of the box. Best choice for its price. Has quick change spring system, so change of FPS is easy. Only upgrades I would consider at the moment is lithium battery and mid-cap magazine.

It's a perfect gun for someone who is starting to play airsoft, and generaly diving into airsoft world. I have this replica and the longer version also made from JG. It has an amazing build quality, very decent internals and for this price you get a battery (with charger). This replica can be easly upgraded for someone who is a bit longer in airsoft world, as I have done to mine. Out of the box on 0.25g you will hit targets on 50m (its the range where BB maintains its trajectory. With a bit of upgrade, a batter barrel (6.03) and a bit better hopup rubber, you can easly push it to 70m. You can run a bit more powerful batteries, I played for almost 3 months with 11.1v and nothing happend to its stock hearbox, but I dont recommend it, I just tried it more like an experiment. All in all for this price range I dont think you can find better airsoftgun
