Oh yes, the day has come...the day of the AUG! She arrived today and let me just say one thing: DAMN! Here's a few pics I took, nothing too artsy fartsy. Ain't she pretty? I already hate the hicap, but I found a site selling standards for $17, so I'm gonna get a few extra. Hopefully I can let you guys see it soon, I'm going to try and come to the Dec 1st thingy. Now if only the red dot I won off ebay would get here...mwahahaha!

Locutus: it just seems more trouble than I thought it would be. Yeah, it's nice to have 330 rounds, but it already misfeeds occasionally, and it seems like I have to wind it way too often. I'm still going to hold on to it, but I'd rather have 80 rounds all at once, as opposed to winding and winding and winding etc. Who knows, maybe someday I will learn to love it...
huh, I just noticed that pink mark on my carpet, hmmm. I better go see what that's all about.

Musta cut yer finger while pulling off that barrel. ;D Why can his barrel and crap just come off like that, dangit! /me wishes I could do that. /methinks. Wait! Mine can do that...it'll just make the thing a $200 paperweight! /methinks again. It's an ICS....supposedly I can just pull it into 2 pieces in less than 10 seconds.

reading the title i was kinda wondering what this was going to be about when i opened it, but i calmed my fears and opened the topic. looks nice! so youre going for a red dot instead of a regular scope?

;D Hehe, I've only shot it inside a couple times, and that was at a cardboard box. I'm too scared of missing whatever I'm shooting at right now since all I have to aim with are the cheapo plastic sights that came with the gun!
Also, I decided to go red dot for now since I scored a Blazer 42mm on ebay for $25. Can't pass up a buy like that! I do intend to get a scope sometime in the near future, most likely once I get a tighter inner barrel and a few internal upgrades to make a scope worthwhile.
I would also like to take a moment to thank Airsoft Toys and their magical disappearing orange paint. A little rubbing alcohol and that stuff melted away like butter!

You!!!!!!! Aww man, I really wanted an AUG and seeing your pics is just making it all worse. Yes I'm happy with my SD6, but the beauty of the AUG is just too wunderbar to resist. *me crosses fingers and wishes I get one for my B-day*

Nice!
I suddenly have urges to spend money that I don't have. (Thus is the life of a poor college student) I also think that normal mags are a lot easier than hi-caps, plus it's more realistic.
"AUG stands for @ss kicking gun!"

Minky where did you order your AUG and when did you order it? I ordered my XM177-E2 from Airsoftshop and it got shipped last Monday. I chose TNT Express shipping (3-7 days). Now it's 8 days later and still not here. I'm not really upset with EDDIE because he's such a nice guy but I'm a little dissapointed.

I ordered from Airsoft Toys in Ohio. Placed order Sunday the 4th, sent payment Wednesday, and it got here this past Monday. I too was going to order from HK, but then I spied the 10% off sale at Airsoft Toys, and that combined with what others have said about them convinced me to order stateside. I'm happy, and if I need any help with anything it's better to have the dealer 4 hours away as opposed to in Hong Kong. Good luck with your package, I'm sure everything coming into the country is slowed down right now. Let's just hope you don't get a letter from customs any time soon

Don't worry Sickpointe, it'll get here. When Ballista ordered from Airsoft Shop his M11 was here in like 2 days...it was nutty. But when I ordered my SD6 a couple weeks ago it took about a week using TNT again.
You should ask Eddie if he can give you a tnt tracking number.
