As I said before, being from Taiwan (born but not raised), I realize the consistency of quality is better when it comes to Taiwanese brands but considering my level of experience and familiarity with airsoft, I presume A Jing Gong is a decent place to start off at.

I never said to buy a TM, it was just my example for not hating plastic.

Also graff, did you receive a tracking number upon payment? I wonder how long it's going to take to get here.

right, you cant see my review of chixsoft because you aren't age verified. I had to email and ask for the tracking number.

I haven't had time to meet up with Optix yet, with my first final being next week (I should really be studying). I did send an email earlier today to Chixsoft requesting a tracking number but they haven't responded yet. I'd love to see your review of Chixsoft.

My reviewhttp://www.airsoftcanada.com/showthread.php?t=114840

So I've ordered my JG M5-S6 from chix and it should be in transit soon; it would be just dandy if I could get some suggestions as to what I should do to maximize the longevity of the gun from any of you with experience and expertise. From what I've read around ASC, I'm supposed to begin with changing the bushings and re-lubing with silicone lubricant?

Nothing, until something breaks. If you REALLY want to/need to open the mechbox, then metal bushings and cleaning out the chinese lube and applying your own might be a good idea.

Alright thanks, but pretty much o.k./satisfactory out of the box right (no chronic deficiencies, usually)? Also, someone suggested a small 7.4 LiPo, what about that?
