That would be one made specifically for the F88-It's the same optic as on the AUG A1 only in a stand alone housing by the looks of it. That would be my best guess. I doubt you'll find one for sale unless your willing to pay an arm & a leg.

That top pics making me think-maybe I'm not too old to go to Aus. and join the military there.lol.

Can't speak for TM since I've never held one, but the Classic Army is a little bit finicky. I've held a couple myself and would not trust them on the field. the entire barrel assembly is pot metal, a mate dropped his barrel down and it snapped clean off. If I were you, I'd go with the tried and true TM.

They're built the same. Also you can't expect a toy gun to be fine (especially the AUG which has a lot of plastic in it) after dropping it on it's barrel.

Something breaking when you drop it on the ground is really normal....

But what you are saying reminds me of some ppl on the forum that have landed on their gun when jumping in a ditch, and that complain about its quality... -_-
