I also got pics from Well M4 GBB, wich is a CQBR, but prototype isn't quite advanced yet, my source told that it is not expected before september. Link to post Share on other sites

RacingManiac Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Hate to rain on your parade but the magazines are different. Entirely different. I'd love to see the WA style platform adopted as the 'standard' for GBBRs. That KA looks like it uses a similar bolt system to the WA, which can only be a good thing. read my post again mate, did I say they are the same? Link to post Share on other sites
Frontiers Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 little off topic but if anyone wants anything special to know from the ground zero (any new models specifically etc) PM me or post somewhere proper, as im doing another FACTORY TOURNEE beginning tomorrow.

MDK_Marshal Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Well, I've just gone ahead and sent money to people for one of these... How could I not, to be honest? Who knows, I might end up being the first person in the UK with one of these? I can only hope gunner ships slowly and mine sails through customs... Link to post Share on other sites

frogfish Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 That is very important to know. I was looking at it, and all the parts I would want to slap on it, and the rifle would still cost less than getting 5 GHK mags. Link to post Share on other sites
RUSHER2 Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 don't be surprised if it doesn't ship asap, "26 May In stock" it would be awesome if the receivers were compatible with WA/G&P, then i'd get one. I'm satisfied with my WE for now though, Its a direct copy of the WA system, so why wouldnt they be compatible. Link to post Share on other sites

j3T Posted May 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 I'm surprised that so many people want to use this as a base for putting together a good gbb. That's like building a house on quicksand imo. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 it is like buildign ahouse on quicksand, only you get to replace the quicksand for marble for a small fee. It is so good becuase of buying a $500 that requires upgrades, you but a $130 that requires upgrades. If the quality is ###### then you can reaplce any part with either a WA or other aftermarket part. and if you get a lucky gun out the box, you jsut got an awesome gun for stupidly low prices.

RacingManiac Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 Its a direct copy of the WA system, so why wouldnt they be compatible. Prime and Inokatsu are parts made for the WA system, and both of their body size are different from WA system...and I believe its the same with G&P.... it is like buildign ahouse on quicksand, only you get to replace the quicksand for marble for a small fee.

What do you consider a "small fee"? If the body cracked you want to buy a G&P body and it costs more than the rifle. If the bolt broke and you need a new upgraded bolt its like $80+ to $130. If you want to replace the hammer assembly it'll be some other $$$. Soon you'll be at what one would spend for a WOC anyway.... Link to post Share on other sites
lin_pointer Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 the age old question....."what important thing should I spend my money on?" I understand your point, and to a degree I agree with you. However, your last point kinda runs dry. Where as airsoft is "just" a hobby, so are the accessories for your car, the bigscreen (T.V I assume) the computers, and most definately....the girlfriend. I guess if you had said something like, paying the mortgage, investing in your career, putting clothes on your childrens backs or even your own, might have made a better point. At the moment, it sounds like your saying, airsoft is a geek pastime, not worthy of serious funding, but cars, computers, girls and T.Vs are "cool" and therefore more valid......of course, I'm sure I'm wrong in my understanding u are right, those things are definitely way more important then hobbys, however, im a 19 year old in the army, dont have a wife and kids, and does not pay for living in the barracks, so to me it dose come down to witch item is worth mor than my bang for the bucks Link to post Share on other sites

These bodys are thicker more to real steal spec, and thats why they are ALOT more exspensive, G&P bodys are very close to the same size as the orginal WA body's Link to post Share on other sites
Kalmar Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 These bodys are thicker more to real steal spec, and thats why they are ALOT more exspensive, G&P bodys are very close to the same size as the orginal WA body's The Prime (and Inokatsu I believe) are also CNC'ed from solid aluminum.. and that's what's expensive compared to G&P's cast metal.

MCXL Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 The inokatsu is forged. The Prime is CNCed from a block. Guys your forgetting one thing, on AEG's the externals don't actually contain the parts and hold them together. There is no mechbox for gas guns, if these receivers are soft then the pins holes will widen the stuff will walk away from each other and now you need a new body. Sure it will take a fair amount of rounds, but it still will happen. I think this ACM gun is fine for someone who wants too try a GBB but it is NOT a platform for upgrading. Also on the topic of mags; The original WA design is pretty horrid, not because it doesn't hold gas well, but because its stupid. The bottom plate ht is integral ti the seal is a good example. Now everyone is gonna clone it so we will have a ton of stupidly designed mags! GREAT? Not really. The GHK mags are a much better design, they just have to work out the manufacturing kinks and they will be great. I'm also interested in how the PGC mags are designed, I wanna open one up.

frogfish Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 If it's an exact copy of the WA does anyone know if this would fit on it or is the D-nut different? http://ebaybanned.com/product_info.php?products_id=1899 Link to post Share on other sites
L4byr1nth Posted May 24, 2009 Report Share Posted May 24, 2009 and if you get a lucky gun out the box, you jsut got an awesome gun for stupidly low prices. It's sad that buying an airsoft gun has devolved into a Lucky Dip of sorts for most people. I think I'll buy the WA. Ben. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 If you're that dead set unto spending that much money, why don't you just get a G&P WOC? It still technically is WA, costs a niggle less but has most of the parts you'll eventually want to replace anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
shinhk Posted May 25, 2009 Report Share Posted May 25, 2009 It's all about $$ isn't it? I bought mine because Western Arms made it. I'm never going to buy this because AGM made it. The AGM M4 is NOT THE SAME THING as a WA M4. The AGM uses the same design as the Western Arms M4. Let's all get this straight everyone. You are buying a cheapy gbb rifle. NOT a Western Arms at a discounted price. Link to post Share on other sites
