Don't know if this is the proper place to post this, but here goes anyway...
I recently (about 2 months ago) bought an Ares g36v from Toronto Airsoft to augment the rest of my H&K collection; it arrived quickly, it tested fine, and I set it aside while I waited for my IdZ stock/rail and some NCstar optics to show up.
Fast forward to July: the stock and other goodies are installed and I go to the field to show off and try out the new toy. Imagine my surprize when the gun breaks after firing only 30 BB's or so while sighting the scope/red dot. I have not opened up the gun yet, so I don't know for certain what is broken, but I am pretty sure the piston/sector gear stripped....whatever the problem is, its major.
I am posting this to remind anyone who buys an Ares gun (or any airsoft gun, for that matter) to test it VERY thoroughly when you first get it! I only fired 100 BB's or so when I tested mine, if I had bothered to rattle off an entire high cap I could have saved myself a pile of work and money, since the gun is now off warranty and I am stuck doing the repairs myself.
Common sense abondoned me that day, don't let it happen to you
