VFC Avalon Saber Series Rifles

Posted by WebStore on 30th Jan 2017

VFC is one of the most well known companies for making high quality airsoft guns. The newest addition to their M4 series rifles are no exception to their legacy, and feature nothing but the best internally and externally. Let's take a look at the two rifles we've got here today, the Avalon Saber Carbine and Avalon Saber CQB! (Click the images for Super high-definition images)

The VFC Avalon Saber series rifles come in two lengths, the Carbine 15" and the CQB 10". Both rifles feature the same internals, with the obvious exception of barrel and handguard lengths, as well as the flash hiders. The Carbine's overall length is 31.75" with a fully collapsed stock, and the CQB comes in at 26.25" as well.

The flash hiders alone are both made out of CNC aluminum, as opposed to the polymer or plastic ones you will typically find on most airsoft guns. The Carbine flash hider, which can be seen on the left, features a lightweight and minimalistic design that is complimentary to the M-Lok rails. The CQB flash hider acts more of a noise amplifier, with a cone shape that meets the end of the 6.03mm tightbore barrel perfectly.

Just behind the flash hiders, you will find the CNC Machine Aluminum M-Lok handguard which looks absolutely amazing on this rifle. Traditionally, most rifles use a quad picatinny rail system, which can be rather uncomfortable to hold by the rails, and true CNC aluminum rails add quite a bit of weight to the rifle. An M-Lok system is much lighter, and is much more modular by giving you the option to either mount a picatinny rail section to mount an accessory, or the growing number of accessories that mount directly to M-Lok.

Closest to the upper receiver, the rear of the handguard also features a QD Sling Point Mount. While Single Point slings are gaining popularity, there are severla advantages to running a two-point sling system. The mounts are on both side of the rifle, which is convenient for both left and right handed shooters.

Moving to the top of the rifle, we have our iron sights. Made out of a high-quality durable polymer material, these sights feature a rapid-deploy button on the left side that can be used to collapse the sights as well. These sights are low-profile, and can be used in addition to a red dot sight when fully collapsed.

Moving along to the right side of the rifle, we have our dust cover and mock bolt ejection port. These rifles do feature a functional bolt catch, which means racking back the charging handle far enough will lock the bolt carrier, making adjusting the newer dial-style hop-up unit much easier. On the Saber series, three small ports can be seen on the bolt carrier that lets you see the red cylinder of the new VFC ECS Gearbox!

Additionally, on the right side of the rifle you will find the ambidextrous fire selector, which is very useful for all of our left handed or ambidextrous players out there. The rifle has the standard 3 positions, SAFE-SEMI-AUTO.

Yes, you see that right. Each of the VFC Saber Series Rifles feature an EF Blade Trigger for faster and more controlled trigger pulls. Also, it looks lightning bolt. So it's awesome.

Additionally, right in front of the trigger is a very comfortable QRS trigger finger rest that is attached to the trigger guard. The groves and the curve of the rest is natural with the finger, and keeps your finger in the same place, and helps you practice proper firearm control.

The pistol grip is a QRS Stippled Pistol Grip, which is very comfortable and fits most sizes of hands, unlike some rifles that have a molded middle finger grove that may not fit all hands or that just doesn't feel comfortable. The stippling on these grips helps with gloves that do not have enough grip to them.

Out of the box, the VFC Avalons come with a QRS Mid Capacity Magazine, capable of holding 100 rounds. These magazines slip in perfectly into the magazine well, and don't wobble side to side like some magazines do. Don't worry, the rifle still takes your standard M4 magazines as well.

Additionally, VFC has included an ambidextrous sling mount plate. Made out of CNC Aluminum, this sling mount plate is very sturdy and rugged and is ready for any challenge you throw at it. 

On the rear, the VFC Sabers feature the QRS Modular Stock systems which are absolutely awesome. They are easily adjusted by pulling back on the handle in the opening of the stock (which is a bit less awkward than the standard tab and a bit more robust. We can't tell you how many times we've found those standard tabs laying around on our airsoft field). The rifles are rear wired to the stock, and can support both butterfly batteries and stick Li-Po's. Opening the rear of the stock is done by lightly pressing the two tabs together on the rear of the rifle, and lifting up. From there, you can remove the two side tube caps to drop in a butterfly battery, or even two stick Li-Po's on each side. Additionally, these tubes can be removed altogether for a slimmer profile. On the bottom of the stock there is a small picatinny rail section, which can be used for a monopod or other accessories.

And it's time for the internals! The Saber series sports the new VFC ECS gearboxes, which are superb out of the box and are very high quality. Additionally, these rifles do feature a MOSFET as well, allowing you to run higher voltage batteries such as Li-Po's without needing to worry about your trigger contacts, which gives you the best performance for trigger response and rate of fire. Inside the ECS Gearbox is a quick change spring system, and under the hood we find a new Super High Torque Motor for those who would like to run higher springs. The barrels are 6.03 Tight Bore Barrels, giving you the best in accuracy and velocity out of the box. Speaking of velocity, the CQB comes in shooting rather consistently at 380 FPS with a 0.2g BB, and comparatively the Carbine at a consistent 390 FPS. Overall, these guns feel and shoot like a dream, and we are more than excited to carry these beautiful rifles!
