Ares AW-338

First off, here's 2 pics of it:

Anyways, here's some information about it:

With the stock barrel, a Prometheus soft bucking, and Bioval .30g BB's, It gets 7/10 torso shots at 200' with minimal/zero wind.

Modifications I've done:
Fixed the Hop-up screw. Originally, it required a ball joint allen key to adjust, which is a :censored2: to do on the field. Made a new hop-up adjuster with a square of aluminum and a screw. You can now easily adjust it whenever you need, and it's much easier to fine tune now, as well.

One of the spring pins in the bipod legs fell out, so I replaced it with a stainless screw and nut, so it's not going to fail you any time soon. The other one has yet to fail. One leg is a little loose though (nothing major enough to worry about the leg falling off or anything. Just a little wobble), but there's nothing that can be done about it, since there is no exit hole for the set pin.

The bolt is worn, which is to be expected after having shot several thousand rounds through it.
If you cycle the bolt too fast, once in a blue moon, it will fire itself. Unless you can get a hold of Ares, or an Ares distributor (I've tried, but they all say they've put me on "the list", but I haven't gotten a response in 6+ months, even after asking about it), there's nothing that can be done about it, unless you have a multi-axis CNC mill. The previous owner wore out the bolt stop, so if you pull the bolt back too far, you'll end up pulling it out. In reality, you only have to pull the bolt back about 1" to chamber the next round, and set the firing pin/hammer.

The o-ring that goes between the magazine and the bolt gets 2 grooves worn into it after 300+ shots (due to the tightness of the seal between the magazine and bolt), but it's only a 10 cent, 15 second fix. If you notice the range going to crap for no reason after a while, check that o-ring. 99% chance that's the culprit (was the culprit every time it happened to me).

The paint on the outer barrel is worn a bit more, too, but that comes with use. Looks like the gun was originally black. The inner barrel was also candy-caned with teflon tape, to reduce barrel vibrations during each shot (yes, it does help). I also teflon-taped the screw for the outer barrel to the upper receiver, so it wouldn't come loose again (only happened twice, but I prefer things that screw together to be a nice snug fit)

I'm looking to get $250 obo. Will take trades for flashlights/pocket knives (I'm picky about which brands, so PM me first). Surefire, Fenix, and 4Sevens are preferred flashlight brands. Will do a fair market value trade for the lights/knives (don't expect BNIB value, even if the item is BNIB, unless it's certain lights).

Keep in mind, THIS IS NO VSR-10. IT WEIGHTS 13.5 POUNDS. It is a heavy beast. I'm just selling it because I don't have the time for airsoft right now, and I have other gun plans now.

Feel free to ask anything you want about the gun, I won't lie/hide things.

Cash is king.

Nope. It's not a good deal at all
