Evike does this a lot actually. They would remove the original muzzle device and sell it separately, the only replica I got from them that actually came with the original muzzle device was the we aks74un.
bro not too long ago there's a video of USAirsoft demonstrating a m14 at an Evike store and that WE M14 didnt have the front iron either. I think that unit and the unit you recieved are the aame one. It's on the USAirsoft channel shorts, just after the stainless steel AK short. I think evike intentionally sold you a used/incomplete/sample product.
I think that orange tip issue is a distributor thing, because I got my we tech m14 from another airsoft shop and when they brought it up to me they showed the the gun and it had that same orange tip, the only issue I have with mine is that every time I fill my mag with bbs and gas, I put the mag in, caulk the gun and gas leaks everywhere
@@OtakuGekko Definitely worth doing. You would be shocked how dirty they can be from the factory. I just got a WE XM177 and it took 3 separate goes until it was clean.
this m14 short was at a evike store in Texas, no front iron and really poor perfor!anace, possibly a lemon. Which is suspiciously similar to the m14 you recieved ua-cam.com/users/shortsjDwqZ5PYZn0?si=7ucqD-hypgG9B6DM
Great review Gekko! Hope to do another DMR run next time you visit

Hey back
Evike starts sucking as soon as you need any type of support. Especially if you live outside the US. Will never order anything from them again.
Did you notice the magazine sometimes releases all th gas?
I read some comments that this happens when the mag isnt seated propperly?
Did you cleaned up the Inner Grease that it comes with in the Inner Barrel?
There is a disclamer that you should do ir in this replica before testing.
I did, part of my checklist is a preventative cleaning/greasing
@@OtakuGekko awsome thanks for the response! Im thinking of getting this réplica the 500fps versión so looking a lot into it
I think the fake gas piston holds the guide rod in line.
Silly question but have you cleaned the barrel with Isopropyl?
Good question, no I have not. I used a simple paper towel patch. I get why it would be useful but I am kinda lazy

All M14s sold from evike don’t come with front sights, its rather unfortunate
