uscmCorps Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Ohhh SNAP! I didn't expect to see this, but considering how much King Arms has done with aftermarket AEG M4 parts, this is a pretty logical move for them: From Airsoft-News.EU: I'm getting a bit tired from Tokyo Marui this and Tokyo Marui that. Thankfully, King Arms announced high quality metal bodies with Colt, Olympic Arms, Bushmaster, Navy Seals, Daniel Defense, Troy and Noveske markings (several names from this list are trademarked for use in airsoft). Click to supersize, technical data are on the picture itself. I'm willing to speculate that King Arms replica of M4A1/M16 is not that far away... [Click the pic!] Personally, I'm pretty excited about this. I love the Bushmaster, Noveske logos that G&P had on the left hand side of their metal body kits, but I hated the superfluous logos that G&P decided the bodies needed on the right hand side of the receiver. It looks like King Arms is doing this right, according to how the RS counterparts look. Other nice features that I love about these King Arm bodies: the bolt catch! Looks to be the same design as that of the VFC HK416. A semi working bolt catch is hawt! Also, the breakdown of the body appears to be the same or similar as that of G&P MBKs. And the connector compartment is an interesting move on their part. Thumbs up King Arms! You've got my money coming your way!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Bangla_Black Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 A competitor of the VFC mbks. But the trades are laser engraved. How much do you think it'll cost? What will the quality be like, compared to the VFC ones? Hmmm.. decisions decisions.. Link to post Share on other sites
felix4536 Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 very cool. ive been looking for a MBK alternative with a working bolt catch. Aside from the VFC, i like King arms better. Link to post Share on other sites
CrazyJ Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 might be a good install for my CA m16 hopefully it will work no prob Link to post Share on other sites
Bizurkur Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Yay functioning bolts! Link to post Share on other sites
Zhang Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The retaining pins are a great feature. I've had the front pin of my G&P fall out during a game and just have the whole front end come flying off. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 No info about price yet, but I'm guessing based on past MSRPs of King Arm products relative to other competitors' prices, it'll either be around the same as that of G&P MBKs (about $100), maybe more, probably less. Although, KA's MBKs have added features that might offset the cost to be a little higher. We'll have to wait and see. Here's some pics of the different receivers they will be offering: * Colt (HAWT!) * FN * Olympic Arms * Bushmaster (I can't believe they f'ed this one up by putting the Blackwater trades on the right side! WTF!?!!) * US Navy * Daniel Defense (Xtra HAWT!) * Troy * Noveske (Done right) I'd love to see them do a decent Stag Arms receiver. But for now... I NEED that Noveske MBK!

orca Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 The fact they accomodated a connector compartment for rear stock wiring was brilliant. Link to post Share on other sites

TRS717 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I guess this puts a damper in my plan to get a G&P M4. These look great. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I think I may get one of those over the G&P. But, which one to get..... Link to post Share on other sites
TRS717 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm torn between Colt and Olympic, maybe even FN. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 The retaining pins make it win. If I had an *generic Americanski assault rifle* I'd get one of these. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 I'm torn between Colt and Olympic, maybe even FN. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Between those three? Colt... always Colt. Link to post Share on other sites

Fatality Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 so any updates on ppl using these? im thinking one of these on an echo m4 would be cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Fatality Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 if anyones curious, took me about 6-7 hours to switch the bushmaster king arms mbk onto my jg m4 cqb. very nice quality metal body, i just f'ed some stuff on it, gotta take it apart and redo the hop up, tore the bucking, but it still shoots just fine for now. i also gotta find a way to tighten the selector switch down more, it sticks up on the spring side noticably more.
