Golden Eagle MK16 GBBR

GOLDEN EAGLE MC6637M MK16 9" KEYMOD
Will update this as I get time to work on it

Initial build quality is good, well weighted and balanced.
Magazines are a little tight but also don’t drop out freely if not seated properly which is probably a good thing.

Need to grow some hardened gels as my usual go to, X force pinkies, are a bit too soft and tend to break.


Hop-up is one of those LDT slim ones like what was on the MP5’s. Barrel looks to be brass and doesn’t look to be easily replaced, has a narrowed end that the bucking goes onto and a couple notches cut out that the “t-piece” clamps onto to stop it from rotating. Barrel itself is quite short so would probably rather lengthen that and use a muzzle hop-up.

The mag that came with it and the extra mag I got have different surface finishes, one is more smooth but the other has a bit more of a texture to it.

Brass barrels are a PITA as they take a LOT of special care and maintenance to maintain their polished internal finishes. :face_exhaling:

Do they work, yes …are they solid, yes… do they improve performance over standard barrels…yes.

But unless constantly maintained, they will turn to shit REALLY quickly. :disappointed:

I have always recommended Stainless Steel over Brass or Alloy barrels, as they are the only material that can hold their highly polished internals with the most longevity over other materials. :ok_hand:

Ask me how I know :rofl: End of day it’s what you can get too. :+1:
