M14 EBR Airsoft Repair

M14 EBR Airsoft Gun Durability Testing

Well now that I have operated in a few games with the Kart EBR and have been able to work on a few of them, I must say when it comes to the m14 ebr's, a little caution by airsoft players is needed. All in all for the low purchase price of 150 to 200 dollars it is a very nice airsoft gun! The build is like a standard M14 with the same hop up and version seven gearbox. The RIS front end and sliding tactical stock with adjustable cheek rest are what really sets this AEG apart from the standard M14 style rifles. Metal bushings and a metal spring guide are highly recommended to add durability and an extended gearbox life to your EBR.

One thing to keep an eye out for is faulty wiring...I bought two cases of these and the first case were great performers out of the box, while every gun in the second box was defective...Seems someone had a bad day wiring at the Kart Factory! These M14's were easy to repair and turned out to be only pinched wires but the guns randomly fired when plugged into the battery with out ever pulling the trigger. None the less a shocking surprise for a unknowing consumer of this airsoft gun!

Another thing to keep in mind if you are considering buying a M14 EBR, all that metal makes for one heavy airsoft gun. A bi-pod is a good option and the M14 EBR already has a metal rail to ease installation. This gun chronographed at 390 to 420 FPS stock so sniping is a good option and is a very effective gun for this, but you should chronograph this before heading off to your favorite airsoft game field, as most fields will only allow up to 400FPS without adding sniper restrictions.

The gun comes with a sling, battery charger and a custom 9.6 volt 1500 mah twin airsoft battery pack that fits the front nicely. Also included is a 400 round m14 hi-capacity magazine and a cleaning rod for clearing bb jams. For general airsoft target practice this is one of the best stock airsoft guns I have field tested...for games it works very well if you have the brute force needed to lug this 20 plus pound hunk of iron all day long. All in All this gun ranks about a 7 on the Airsoft BA scale!

One final note...Working or repairing this AEG is fairly difficult and should not be attempted by beginners! If you have questions or need help repairing or upgrading your EBR contact me at airsoft gun repair in Wisconsin.
