This StG44 airsoft-replica contains a proper V2 gearbox, which is really good, out of the box (something that is not obvious, as most of us know). It hardly makes any noise, whilst shooting a 0.20 BB at 125 m/s, hitting a target at 50 meters in a small group. Impressive.
The only disappointment was the way in which the wooden stock was screwed to the metal receiver. Two small screws were not properly screwed in. So, I finished that job, and all seemed fine. Later on, I noticed that my 11.1V lipo-batteries do not easily fit into the stock, so I used sandpaper to increase the margin. That did the trick. However, I had removed the screws to work more comfortably. When I screwed them in again, the ****-holes appeared to be too wide to hold the rather short screws, so that the stock's firmness had become wobbly.
The solution was easy: I used some longer screws, combined with washers (one flexible and one firm). Now, the stock is firmly attached to the receiver.
There seem to be no mid-cap mags for this replica, but there is a hack for that, using MP7 mags. Anyway, that is of no concern right now, the StG44 is doing a great job as it is. It's heavy and makes an impression, whenever people spot it as something extraordinary.
