M14
 

Is the Cyma M14 Socom a TM clone?

Yep.

An inferior one.

I cannot put enough emphasis on the word 'inferior' enough. The guide rod for the charging handle is made out of JB Weld(not really, but it's garbage to say the least), The stock will split in half if you sneeze on it too hard, the trigger response is terrible(my Beta Project M4 had a better trigger response with a 7.2V than the SOCOM with a 9.6V), and the overall quality of the externals was horrible, even for a CYMA. Learn from my experience, and not only walk away, but run.

Isn't beta project made by cyma lol

IIRC CYMA's M4 isn't EBB, and doesn't come with a metal body.

IIRC aside from the G&P M14 the CYMA is the "most compatible" TM clone. I remember G&G doing some weird things to their V7 gearbox where it's kind of, sort of compatible but at the same time not really.

Either Buy the TM, Or the G@G... Nothing else matters.

TM only. G&G is just as much of a piece of crap.

G&G is easier to work on but the stock is weak. It is it's own gearbox too, nobody else uses it. Mags are also expensive. CA is a clone of the G&G.

With the correct components the g&g works great. The hopup unit is from an AUG.

G&g over tm ANY day. Who here has actually worked on both?
