TR16 Ranger DST assault rifle replica

TR16 Ranger DST carbine replica

The carbine replica from TR16 series by G&G was made as a part of Top Tech line. It was made of metal and polymer. The legth of the stock is regulated, which enables to adjust the replica to conditions and the user's posture.

The fire selector was placed on the left side of the receiver and was marked with graphic descriptions of firing modes. The replica is equipped with PBB system, which imitates its real steel counterpart perfectly. The dummy bolt moves back and forth, delivering a noticeable recoil to the shooter's shoulder. After pulling back the charging handle the shell ejector cover opens, while an imitation of the bolt carrier goes into the back position allowing to adjust the hop-up. Interestingly, the follower also plays an important part: pressing it releases the anti-reversal latch inside the gearbox, thus releasing the main spring. This significantly affects the durability of the mechanism, enabling to retain a high muzzle velocity by minimising the effects of wear of the spring.

The battery was placed in the front grip of the replica. The replica has regulated iron sights. After demounting the carrying handle we gain access to RIS mounting rail on the top of the receiver, allowing to equip the replica with scopes of various types.

The replica was made in tan colour, except from such elements like the outer barrel, stock pipe, sights and switchers. It suits perfectly for operating on middle distance, due to M120 spring which guarantees an initial muzzle velocity of ~380 FPS. Inside there is a hermetic pneumatic system, equipped with high class chamber and HU rubber.

The replica is equipped with and amazing BlowBack system, which gives additional realism to the use of the replica. Pneumatic Blow Back operates on the principal of taking a part of the compressed air from the gearbox to a special cylinder that is located above the casing of the gearbox. The small piston that is located in the Pneumatic Blow-Back system moves a thin plate that is attached to it. The plate imitates the bolt carrier.

WARNING: the manufacturer does not advise to use a battery stronger than 8,4V in view of the possibility of damaging the said metal plate.

G&G replicas with the PBB system are equipped with a reinforced V2 gearbox, modified in order to adapt it to the PBB system and add and active spring release system based on the follower mechanism.

The gearbox is equipped with 8mm ball bearings, a brass cylinder head and aluminium piston head.
