army glock 17

hi there

just a fast review of the army armament glock 17

cosmetically it is nearly perfect exept mine have some molding errors at the back of the slide but i dont really care. trades are very nice(exept the "army made in china" and "gas blowback system" written on the ejector side). the slide is made out cast aluminium and seem to be solid, the outer barrel is plastic..., the lower and the trigger is plastic too. when fired the gun respond with a loud "clack" and have a very sweeeeet kick (same mabe more than my kjw p226 metal)

internals looks very solid they are marui compatible(g17 gen3). i installed a steel valve knocker in it for reliability and filed the valve in the stock mag to make an homemade "hiflow" (there is a tutorial on unconventionnal airsoft that shows how to do". see pics for fps

tm magazines fits like a charm, i recommend to buy tm mags for it cause the stock mag may have double feed issue, i bought two tm mags off redwolf for 25 bucks each...

now for the pics!!!

in it's original box

here you can see the internal roller hammer and the steel valve knocker

field strip is easy as catching a ball in a cup

here is the fps with a tm mag (was about that with the stock mag) varies between 290-310

fps with the homemade "hiflow" on the stock mag eats a little bit more gas

same size as a p226

overall i't a great little beast at a great little price

For some odd reason my Army G17 doesn't have the highlighted trademarks. Other then that everything else seems the same to me.. even that brown mix.

nice review.

maybe you have an early version or they just forgotted to paint them, if you really want you can fill them with white crayon.
