Had a walk around Mong Kok in Hong Kong today, some shops already have a demo BE Type 89 on display and available for preorder... Seems like the street prices are going to be right around HK $700 (about $90 US). I agree with Far East, that paint strips damned easily but overall the fit and finish of the exterior seems decent enough.

You don't get the nice steel barrel or RAS with you bog standard CA36. Given that I purchased all of the parts in Hong Kong and paid HK street prices, I do think I came out slightly ahead this way, financially speaking. If you factor time into the equation, then yes I should have started with a CA36. That said, I've got a bunch of spare parts to get rid of now, nearly a complete gun in fact. It would be nice if I could get my net cost for this project down to $0.

Shoots amazingly well, if a bit front heavy.

I'm in Hong Kong right now and I'm going to pick up either the CYMA or the DBoys/Kalash. I like the idea of a steel body, but if the CYMA has a solid enough alloy body and has much better fit and finish, it is a strong contender for my cash. I've handled two DBoys M16 variants so far and they were pretty awful, so I don't really hold that company in high esteem. Has anyone cracked open the gearbox yet to verify if the CM035 has metal bushings as rumored or if they all have plastic bushings? Snorkelman, have you had a chance to compare the CYMA to the Kalash? Just wondering what your
