 The GNG SOC 16, at first glance looks like a pretty sturdy airsoft gun…. Guess what? You’re right. This airsoft rifle looks and feels solid. It boasts of metal parts (most of it’s components are made of metal and has a very nice plastic stock that doesn’t creak when handled). It has nice details and the engravings on it looks ok (not as nice as Tokyo Marui’s M14/SOC 16 engravings though).
Battery compartment is at the butt-end of the stock and is capable of holding a really big battery (the biggest size I could fit in inside a Tokyo Marui M14 is a 9.6V, 2400 mah with some modification on the stock). The disadvantage of this is that the battery will tend to move around inside the stock when you are moving around during airsoft skirmishes, which is really annoying. Though it could easily be remedied by putting foam inside the battery compartment to hold the battery packfirmly into place.
Disassemly
Note:
I’m assuming that you already know your way around the basics of airsoft AEG disassembly and wouldn’t go into step by step detail on how to dissemble the unit, IF NOT…. I wouldn’t even suggest that you go about opening and modifying an airsoft aeg unit unless you have someone who have the technical experience to help/guide you to prevent you from damaging some parts or components of the aeg rendering it non-functional.
Takedown of this airsoft AEG unit is very simple and pretty much straight forward (compared to the Tokyo Marui M14/SOC16 version). To access the gearbox/mechbox, You just have to separate the rifle body from the rifle stock (a users manual would help you with this), with the magazine well facing upwards pull the trigger guard upward to release the trigger mechanism (trigger mechanism also locks the rifle stock to the rifle body). When you manage to separate the rifle stock from the rifle body, it’s just a matter of removing the barrel assembly by removing a pin and 2 screws that holds the outer barrel on the metal upper body. Then to remove the rifle upper rifle metal body you just have to remove the pin on the bolt catch lever and remove the screws the metal body on the gear box/mechbox.
