I think this is a bit counter-intuitive given how the stock is still fairly slick with this texturing there, but, whatever. It also has a sort of sandy texture to it that apparently is to help with gripping it. Its clearly not the best ABS as if I grab the butt end of the stock and give a squeeze, it makes an audible "creak". The way it feels along with the sheen it gives off when exposed to light tells me its made of ABS. The quality of it feels very cheap and almost toyish. The stock is something I would like to address. No obvious nicks, marks, scratches or other deformities are visible in the stock (more on that later) and the metal upper receiver and barrel also show no signs of being mishandled. Perhaps a few of my teammates who run them will have a use for them. I made the switch to lipos years ago, so the nimh batteries are useless to me. Inside was the gun, 470rd steel hicap mag, the factory 9.6v battery and a G&P 9.6v the seller included. Its decorated with a large picture of the rifle, model number and a few lines of text on a black background. I will not mention names, but the person knows who they are The rifle arrived in a large box, untypical of some of the more recent CYMA ones I have seen. I obtained the rifle (and a few extras) from someone on HopUp. ( EDIT: I finally did build a DSG.All thats left now is the ER-hop) We'll have to see It will be the third 7.62-style rifle I have personally done, and the first M14 I have actually built into something. Although this build may just test my skills at ER hopping. Ive built and done just about everything, save for a DSG and ER hop. Ive been playing airsoft for 10 years and teching for the past 7. This will not be a project that will be done in a week, or even a few weeks, but I will do my best to keep this thread up-to-date with my plans and any modifications I make on a regular basis. This thread will document my travels with this particular rifle platform: the changes I make, notes about the rifle, and initial and expected performance. (traded a JG G36K I put back together in an afternoon for it). I finally got a chance to pick up a CYMA CM.032A for a near steal and jumped on it. Between the classic look, smooth, sleek lines, and the (in my opinion) contrast between a fine wood stock and steel upper assembly is nice piece of eyecandy. The M14 is a platform I have always had a spot for.
