.308 RULZ OK!

G&G ARMAMENT HAVE BEEN BUSY WHILST THE REST OF THE WORLD HAS BEEN IN “LOCKDOWN” AND HAVE CONTINUED TO ROLL OUT NEW ADDITIONS TO THEIR LINE, NOT ONLY IN THE FORM OF UPGRADES TO EXISTING MODELS BUT ALSO WITH SOME EXCITING ALL-NEW PISTOLS, RIFLES AND CARBINES TOO! BILL FINALLY GETS “HANDS ON” WITH THEIR LATEST ADDITION TO THE TR16 LINE-UP, IN THE FORM OF THE TR16 SBR 308 MK II

I am, I will admit freely, an “airsofter of a certain age” and although the bones are a bit creaky first thing on a cold morning and I certainly don’t bounce as well as I used to, those that know me personally know that I still like to get stuck in, whether it be simply on the range, at a day skirmish, or indeed at a longer event!

This means in real terms that I grew up in the 1970’s and 1980’s when “7.62mm was King” and I have to admit that I still have a taste for AEGs and GBBRs with those big old magazines! I grew up with the .303 SMLE and then the 7.62mm L1A1 SLR and, to me, the latter is still one of the most beautiful service rifles to have ever existed!

Although the first AEG I ever owned was a FAMAS, like many of you I started my “journey proper” in airsoft with various MP5s and ARs. By the early 2000s I knew I was fully hooked and that airsoft was going to be a major part of my life, so I decided it was high time that I had something “Gucci” and, after much deliberation, I decided that what I REALLY wanted was an “MC51 SBS”, so I asked the guys at Fire Support to build me an all-singing-and-dancing one and from memory, it cost me upwards of £600, with some big old “7.62” magazines to go with it. This lovely AEG is still rocking to this day and was money well spent!
