kullwarrior Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Saw this on Youtube Sounds alot better than the original even though the sound was not the best x( Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticMag Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Looks very nice. Wonder what the other reinforced parts are? Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 "This is 100% CNC metal body set for WA M4 with 17PCS small custom parts including CNC stock pipe" Does that mean they're only releasing 17 metal bodies? If so thats kind of...odd. I wonder if the body has any trademarks on it. Link to post Share on other sites

If so thats kind of...odd. Sounds more like they're releasing a set of parts that total 17 individual pieces per set. Link to post Share on other sites

Magsz Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I am amazed at how much attention the WA m4 is getting. I really think its awesome that so many third parties are jumping to support this replica. Its really amazing that it took three years for anyone to start producing for the PTW but replacement parts, upgrades and god knows what else started popping up TWO weeks after the release of the WA m4. This product must be a HUGE success in Japan. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 That doesn't look cheap... Yeah... that said, the quality looks exceptionally high. I like the trades too. I wonder if they will do blank receivers? (Mmmmm... laser engraved custom VLTOR markings...) I can't tell if one of the parts they include with the set is the bolt catch. Can anyone tell from those pics? The disassembly/reassembly guide kinda scares me. I envision myself with a whole bunch of spare parts and scratching my head saying I have no f'ing idea where this part goes. Yikes. Link to post Share on other sites
kimkafwan Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 834$... Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 834$... Dang... in that case I'll probably pass and wait for a cast one from G&P. I only need the receiver and the bolt catch (and maybe a bolt). Don't need all those other add of bits 2Roy are offering I think. Link to post Share on other sites
sadigh Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Guys, for some reason I can't see the pictures on 2roy.com, anyone having the same problem? Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 $834, see. I can predict the future. That might be worth a look though, I'd only spend the money on cakes otherwise. Link to post Share on other sites
rusTORK Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Don't see pics too... Sadly... Link to post Share on other sites
junior Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 After I posted the links lastnight, I thought about saving the pics... But then after I saw how many pictures there were I scrapped the idea. Bummer.. Hope the pics come back soon. Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 they replicated almost the entire gun. Why don't they just make the whole gun. oh, that would be too smart. Link to post Share on other sites
Azulsky Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 I was about to say how much of the original WA M4 is left after this and what im seeing people put onto theirs in the WAm4 thread. Link to post Share on other sites
Magsz Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 834 bucks? Uhh... This is starting to remind me of the PTW... Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Sure, so far you could build almost a whole M4 from parts. You would be missing a few bits from the inside, a couple of tiny springs etc. But there is nothing odd about that. People have been doing it to AEGs for years. Look in the 2011 picture thread and you will see WA pistols that have perhaps 1 or 2 WA parts left in them. The idea is that you buy a weapon which works well and shoots well then you do a bit at a time, always maintaining the functionality but moving towards a particular æsthetic or performance based goal. I have a Marui sig P226 that is hardly marui at all and a 1911 that has about 6 marui bits left in it. The Prime metal kit for my Browning MKIII cost nearly as much as this kit. Call it £450 to £470 posted, that's a lot but if those parts take you to your goal it is fine. Some company will wind up making a clone and if you are going to totally upgrade the gun you are best buying that but early adopters always pay the price. I will probably fit maximum aftermarket parts, keep the old ones, build a gun out of them, order the last few bits as spares and sell it to make some cash back. Link to post Share on other sites
rusTORK Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 On YouTube your may see "PGC Valve Lock for WA"... "52 shots with any problem". Hmmm... Link to post Share on other sites
poison123 Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 $834 bucks......for just the body and buffer tube basically..... *shakes head* That is worth 400 bucks MAYBE. Hell you could buy a RS lower/upper for about 200-300 and probably convert them over if you had the time. (ya ya I know that doesn't work for the guys not in the US) Link to post Share on other sites

Hell you could buy a RS lower/upper for about 200-300 and probably convert them over if you had the time. (ya ya I know that doesn't work for the guys not in the US) RS parts are mostly cast steel and are made in large volume. All of the 2Roy parts are CNC'ed from a block of aluminum (presumably) and are a limited production run. Those differing factors is why the 2Roy is so expensive. The fact that so many of the 2Roy parts are CNC'ed is a bit excessive. I really don't need a machined trigger guard for example. Also, you need a FA license to buy a RS lower. It would be too much of a pain for me to try and get one out here in Cali. Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted July 16, 2008 Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 Also, you need a FA license to buy a RS lower. It would be too much of a pain for me to try and get one out here in Cali. Just a slight correction. You can buy an Off List Lower in CA, the same way you buy any long rifle. No special license needed. Addition of DROS charges and possible transfer fees + 10 day waiting period. But I do agree with USCM. Def not worth doing when going that route you can much more easliy build a real AR. And I'm guessing the conversion won't be fun at all ;P Link to post Share on other sites

It never really hit me till I started building my RS stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

It never really hit me till I started building my RS stuff. Yeah, but that’s the price we pay to be able to shoot in our basement As with most first production MBK's the cost is high to offset the R&D and manufacturing costs. Eventually some other company will release CNC MBK's for a much cheaper price (Prime, SD,PGC... were looking at you!) There will always be a handful of people who are willing to pay top dollar to be the first ones with accessory-X so they can claim the bragging rights. I've been there... my wallet was not happy...

kullwarrior Posted July 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2008 took a look at the instruction for assembling, looks like your still using the old original bolt catch.... Link to post Share on other sites
