Hilts Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey receiver for me please, just 'cos I think it looks better than the shiny black in the photo's Link to post Share on other sites
sekiryu Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 just like the generic m-16's? The last time I picked up an M16, the receiver was gray.... Link to post Share on other sites
Revenge Seeker Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Can't ya'll wait for the inevitable clone? Yes, but there's a great chance the "clone"'s color will be whatever the ICS's color will be. So we start with the original, the ICS.. Eat Revenge Seeker and make it grey. If we forget about the realism, black is perhaps one of the worst choices when it comes to camouflage and the gun. Grey isn't great either, but at least it's accurate to the real one. I hardly think ICS is going to eat me... Gray makes most sense; so they should probably go with gray. But I still would rather buy a black SIG551 than the normal gray SIGs. Gray reminds me too much of old Nam style M16a1's... which I own.. Black makes it look nice and sexy, like a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious AK. Link to post Share on other sites
The Badger Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Badgers gotta say, Gray is "correct" but he thinks it looks better in black. Call him a heretic, a blasphemer, a Melinae, he doesn't care, he knows what he likes. Link to post Share on other sites
Naked Singularity Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 If the real deal is a matte gray, then please do the same and apply the trademarks. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites
juansinanos Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think I like Grey better with trades of course. It looks more professional that way. Anyways I've had enough with the made-up guns and derivations from real steel. Airsoft should try to replicate as accurately as possible while keeping in mine the practicality and cost. Anyways, the people that want it black can always paint black. Link to post Share on other sites
Bizurkur Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 SCAR's aren't black either, and I think those look ace. Voted black because I've seen enough grey guns already. Link to post Share on other sites
Dustie Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 As grey as it sould be, just like the real steel with trades. Did they really have to ask. Link to post Share on other sites
farrasdevell Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Deffinatly grey with trades. I dont mind clones not being spot on but A full price rep has to be right or as close as. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkPitch Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 If it comes in grey with full trades then I´ll buy one for sure so grey got my wote. Link to post Share on other sites
Callidux Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stay true to the original form, grey with trades! Please make a non RIS handguard, sell it separately if you have to. Oh and a top rail, please! Screw the AK-shorties, SG551 will be gun of the year! Link to post Share on other sites
cazboab Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey with the proper trades would be sweet, but in all honesty its going to be 3rd or 4th on my to buy list either way... Link to post Share on other sites
colwombat Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Make it grey. That way it is realistic and people who want it black can take a can of Krylon to it. It is easier to paint it black than it is to paint it grey and add trademarks. +1 Link to post Share on other sites
stewball Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey like the real one. Black is sooo M16. Grey however, is sooo TM M16 heh. Link to post Share on other sites
Clockwork_O Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Make it grey and let it have 3burst.... The ICS SIG 551 could be the only aeg I would buy. Greetings Link to post Share on other sites
Perch Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Make it like the Real deal, grey plastic-coated body. And I hope the make the handguard, pistol-grip and stock fiber-reinforced. Link to post Share on other sites
chin Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 voted grey aswell, if youre copying something then do, it properly. ICS should do 'em all grey and include a can of Black Krylon paint in the box, easy to spray it all black. Link to post Share on other sites
StarMonkee Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think its pretty much decided really. I agree which it needing to be grey, no point getting Sig's input then going "Well you know what lets make it black" Link to post Share on other sites
statikzero Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Most airsofters set out for as much realism as possible, why should this even a poll? Should be a no brainer. Link to post Share on other sites
SargeSTVI Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey with full trademarks... ...what else??? Link to post Share on other sites
Gunfan9x19 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey with trades. I'm a big fan of SIGs, the 55x series especially, and I want ICS to make as realistic a replica as possible. Link to post Share on other sites
realityknight Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Grey is the new black. Link to post Share on other sites
parpar Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Haven't read all 3 pages of replies but here's my take. If they have the option to make it as close to the real deal as possible (i.e. grey with full trades) why not do it? These are supposed to be realistic after all, so make it as realistic as possible... Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 agreed. it seems absurd to work closely with the real steel mnufacturer, then make the colour, which is a pretty important thing, totally wrong. this needs to ba AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE to look and feeling like the real thing. without making it extortionately expensive.

[DART]_Pyro Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 as close to real steal as possible Link to post Share on other sites
