MB01AE Upgraded Version - Black [WELL]

J'ai pris cette réplique dû à son prix attractif et au fait qu'elle soit upgrade et renforcée.
Sur ce point well a bien fait son boulot, un peu trop même.

Tout d'abord les points positifs:

-queue de détente 90°
-crosse renforcée
-prix très correct


Et les points négatifs:

- réarmement de la réplique très compliqué (à cause du ressort très puissant se trouvant dedans)
-puissance approximative de 520 FPS donc injouable sur la plupart des terrains.

Donc ça reste une bonne réplique dans l'ensemble mais il faudra faire des upgrades pour pouvoir jouer avec, je vous conseillerais de prendre un ressort m120, un joint hop up adapté, changer le guide ressort et le piston qui sont spécifiques à la puissance de la réplique.

The replicas bolt mechanism broke after firing around 30 BBs. I have no idea how to get it back and how it happened.
Just as I managed to setup the hop up, this happened.
Not recommended.
On the other hand, it really does shoot fast and cover a lot of ground, but what is the point of the replica if it breaks after a few shots.

Well mb01AE with spring upgrade.

* the body have more a quality feel than expected. It does not feel cheap. More like polimor than plastic
* the internals are really nice. Steel cylender with steel nozzle. Really nice piston. 90degree steel trigger. The stuff you normally pay alot to get normally.

* the internal barrel and hopup rubber surpriced me. While the barrel is a bit long. 50cm and thereby optimiced for 0.40g bbs for maximum joule power.
It is no longer a closed window barrel. But a open window barrel. It is made by brass. But looks to be a good quality. I do belive there no longer is a need to change It.
The hopup rubber was a good surprice. They have moved away from a standard hopup patch and instead adopted for a hopup rubber. That reminds me of a MR.hop from maple leaf in how it is designed. It is opmimized for long distance shooting.
There is no separate nub. It is instead shaped directly into the hopup arm in the hopup unit.
The hopup arm need to be shimmed. It is slightly loose to the sides. But should not be a problem to fix fairly easy.

*the barrel spacers are poor. But it is easy to make some that works well.

*the hopup unit itself is nothing amazing. But seems to get the job done. It is however only keept in place within the gun with a single small screw.
The hopup unit does seem to hold the airseal well steaight out of the box.
The hopup unit is set by using a Allan key from inserting It into the underneght the rifle. Not optimal. But does seem to give prober centeret pressure on the hopup arm. Wish is nice.

* weight. The gun is heavy to hold. Alot of weight in the front of the body and in the midle. If you do not plan to use a bipod. I would recommend opening the body up and remove the bipod holder. Makes the rifle much lighter to hold. Will probably also experiment with making a custom internal barrel holder part in plastic to further lower weight.

*if you remove the chind support part in the back of the rifle. (If you have a mask on. You do not need it.) You can remove and service the cylender in the rifle without taking It apart.

* the rifle is nice to hold. I am 6ft /183cm tall and the rifle sitts well in my hands.

*I got the version with upgraded spring power. It really does take some mucle to load a bb into the gun. It does help to get a good center grip when cocking the rifle. I will experiment with. How to support the cylender more. So ir hopefully will get more easy to cock

I recommend cutting a soda can up and cover the ejection port up. To avoid dirt in the rifle.

I hope this review is helpfull. The cocking is heavy. But the gun do seem to be a really impressive step up in quality from the normal well mb01.

The overall quality is good with some minor issues.
The sniper rifle is well built however, for a newbie I was negatively surprised. I did not expect that the spring ( M220 ) is so hard for me to cock. It is really hard to pull the bolt and reload with this hard spring. I reckon it will not be realistic to play I game with a replica like that and will be hard to reload fast in extreme situations. I would offer to the new guys to consider buying the same rifle but with weaker spring. Changing the spring I observed that there were some metal shavings left and not cleaned from the manufacturing process. Overall - very good and reliable rifle.

For those who like a good tactic of keeping themselves hidden by slaughtering enemies at a long distance without revealing their position along with a good camouflage, they become an indispensable player in their victory. This replica is one of them already with improvements made you have nothing to worry about without going unnoticed and shooting down the largest number of players on the team opposite to long distances.

I choose the 650 spring version, and it shoots about 680 out of the box. The precision left some to be desired, but a change of hop up rubber, shimming the hop up arm and shortening and lapping the barrel made all the difference. The stock feels solid and the screws feels confidently secured.
