Army Code G36C New Marking Receiver Set Review.


Introduction

With the release of “A.C.M” or “Clone” G36’s on the market it enables collectors and skirmishes alike to build on their arsenal at a very low cost, often allowing people to add weapon systems to their collection at an extremely low cost compared to the more established companies variants already on the market.

So what happens if you want 100% realism from your G36 without having to pay through the nose for either real steal parts or paying for a Tokyo Marui? The answer comes from Army Code, who makes one of the best external body kits on the Market for the G36 family. Currently Army Code produces the G36, G36k and the G36c kits.

I would like to thank Dave at Army Code for supplying this sample for review and also Keith from RSOV for supplying the Jing Gong G36c.

A little about Army Code:

Quote:Army Code is a manufacturer that aims to produce Airsoft toy gun parts and accessories. As our main theme says “Quality of Wargame Life”, we are trying our best to provide the best quality products to achieve different needs of the Airsoft users.

Army Code will continue to improve in every aspect, and deliver high quality products to the Airsoft world.

So does Army Codes G36 product meet up to their mission statement? Let’s take a look!

The Box

Well Army Code don’t actually package their product in a box, but in thick polythene bags, fortunately the more reputable online dealers send your goods in sturdy boxes, so don’t be put off by the packaging, most of you who read my reviews know that I’m very much in favor of cheap packaging over that of the more fancy renditions appearing on the market.



Everything is individually packed within the main packaging so you have no worries of the metal parts rubbing against of scratching the others.

What You Get

The full G36c kit contains the full receiver, mag-well, cocking handle, cocking handle spring, ejector port cover, shell deflector and body pins.



The receiver is made from tough, glass fiber reinforced polymer; just like the real steel version and the exact mix is 70% polymer, 30% fiber nylon not exactly like the real steel version but close enough for it to be able to take a real beating in the field.

So what makes this any different to the Tokyo Marui or the Jing Gong/ Echo 1’s out there?

As many of you are aware the Tokyo Marui trades aren’t actually realistic and also comes with the “Made in Japan” branding on the side, while the Jing Gong’s carry no markings or trades at all, apart from the selector.



The first one we will look at is the class and specifications, as you can see these are a perfect copy of the US version of the G36c and includes every last detail.



Moving to the left of the specification markings we have the Heckler & Koch trade stamps and warning to read the manual, now this is where there is one slight indiscretion on behalf of Army Code, where it reads “Heckler & Koch BmbH” it should actually read “GmbH” I’m exactly sure why Army Code did this as I really don’t think it will be enough to prevent a law suit if Heckler & Koch decide to do so. But unless you are in the know it’s a small thing that most players won’t realize any way.



All in all the quality and feel of the receiver is excellent and the trademarks are as close as you are going to get for any replica on the market.

The receiver actually come in two halves and are connected together using steel pins, which are located in the same place as those on both the Tokyo Marui and the available clones of the model. One thing I liked about these pins is that they are tight fitting and require some brute force to get them to engage with the female fittings on the other half of the receiver set.




So once in place they aren’t going to work their way free and cause any splitting between the right and left side of the receiver set and it also totally eliminates the creaking noise that plagues a lot of the plastic bodied guns on the market, another notable thing is that you can feel the extra added weight of the new receive and its steel pins over that of the original already.



This allows a more secure fixing for the stock in the folded position, and will require the operator to slightly lift the stock when releasing it, but again it removes that loose feeling that the Tokyo Marui has when the stock is in the folded position.



Next in line is the Mag-well, again this is made from the same materials as the receiver set and offers that nice matt finish. One of the nice things about the mag-well by Army Code is that it is a nice tight fit to the main receiver, unlike the Tokyo Marui, which falls away with very little effort. This again helps improve the rigidness of the gun.



Another key point of the mag-well is the feed tube where it engages the firing nozzle on the gear box, you’ll notice that this is nice and smooth and molded to perfect dimensions to prevent any double feeds or jamming.



One of the major differences between the Army Code’s G36c body and that of the Tokyo Marui / Clones is the use of steel parts and the cocking handle and bolt cover are worlds apart between the two, both visually and touch.



The Army Code version is 100% hard anodized treated steel and weighs a lot, the ejection port cover is also sheet steel and has been treated, these little features make a huge difference to the feel and weight of the G36. Not only this but Army Code has improved on the design and strengthened the join between the cocking handle and port cover.



Thus allowing you to use the upgraded spring, this is a awesome little feature as it really makes a nice sound as your cock your rifle and let it slap back into position, needless to say you don’t want any fingers or other digits in the hop-unit when doing this. As you can see from the spring, this is again a huge improvement over that of the original.



Finally we have the body pins and following the high quality of the other parts the pins are no exception, again they are also improved upon the originals, as many players have had to replace lost pins that fall out of loose holes during a skirmish.



Again these are made out of treated steel and have the added advantage of a snap pin
That secures the pin in place, ideal for locations like the forward grip where continuous wear and tear will loosen the fitting.



Installation

Now I’m not going to write a “how to” on how to install the Army Code G36 body upgrades, but I will cover my thoughts and experiences on how my installation went.

As I mentioned I didn’t have any G36 variants in my collection before writing this review, so I came to this upgrade totally without any prior knowledge on how to strip and rebuild the G36, but using the manual that came with the Jing Gong G36c I was able to swap the parts over without any real issues.

One area I did find a little fiddly was reattaching the cocking handle housing to the new body, as you have to half assemble one side of the receiver first then, install the ejection port cover finally placing the right side receiver in place.



But with a little trial and error I was able to rebuild the gun with all the upgrades in about 2 hours. Again this is my first time working on a G36 body.

Conclusion

The Army Code G36C New Marking Receiver Set is absolutely amazing; apart from the slight change in the trades the Army Code New Marking Receiver Set is as close as you’ll get to the real deal. With retail price of $72.00 USD or £36.50 getting this as well as a Jing Gong is still going to cost a lot less than a Tokyo Marui G36c with better externals. The Quality and finish leave nothing to want even for the most hardened Mil-
Simer’s.
Score and Closing Thoughts


Score 8.5/10

I can’t understand why they didn’t just give the receiver full trades without the small alteration, they have already copied the trade names, marks and stamps so I really don’t think it would stop H&K if things went sour. If I was going to purchase another G36 I would certainly go the Jing Gong / Army Code route as this offers not only the best price but also an amazing finish!

Highly recommended.

Will post pictures of the complete weapon later tonight as this is just a review of the kit.

Ok, thanks for the review.

Each day that goes by makes me more happy about my purchase.

This thing is a beast and I can't wait to shoot something besides the trees outside of my apartment. I'll bring it by when you get back or to the next game we are both at.
