Xm8 reverse conversion?

krap101 · July 4th, 2007, 02:44

I bought a xm8 from evike a couple weeks ago, and i was wondering if i could do a reverse conversion to a g36. I like fooling around with my gun, and i think it would be nice to change back and forth.

I could sell you my G36C and you wouldn't have to convert a damn thing...

krap101 · July 4th, 2007, 02:54

true.. but i spent 90$ for my xm8, and im guessing your g36 would be quite a bit more.

Murdoch · July 4th, 2007, 02:56

yes, but it would be quite a bit cooler.

krap101 · July 4th, 2007, 03:07

I'm not 18 either

it would be quite a bit illegal lol

Since you purchased the gun from Evike, im also assuming you are somewhere else other than Canada, which means you proably have access to the cheap and plentyful chinese clones. You could get a nice Jing Gong G36 for like 90$ over seas and that's a hell of a deal.

I live in the United States, where you can purchase an airsoft gun if you have someone over 18 to buy it for you. kinda stupid law, since it should be more of a parental consent thing, but most of the same laws apply like no shooting across the street :P

The krap is in the toilet, and I'm jiggling the handle, but this thread just won't flush...

Hehe, reverse kit for an XM8..that's funny.
You'd probably spend more on G36 parts to replace the XM8 parts then it'd cost you to buy a whole new AEG.

krap101 · July 4th, 2007, 14:03

lol, just thinking that if a few people converted to xm8, they'd still have their bodies lying around?

swatt13 · July 4th, 2007, 14:12

you find g36 butchers every once in a while. itd prolly cst you about$200 in parts te get all the pieces.
upper and lower reciever

A $90USD XM8? Which company?

krap101 · July 4th, 2007, 14:25

evike, i got the one with the full metal gearbox., http://store.matrixbb.com/servlet/-s...ll-Size/Detail

but its 109 + shipping on main site

http://cgi.ebay.com/AIRSOFT-MATRIX-M...QQcmdZViewItem

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-350-FPS-Airs...QQcmdZViewItem

i was between those two, but i decided with evike because it has a marui gearbox. i can't really tell by looking inside yet, but thats what it was advertized as

Edit: oh you might have been asking the company of the gun :P It is a Be/Matrix xm8 with metal gearbox
