Finbarqs Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 So checking the price, RA Tech Steel Slide for USP .45 Kit: Slide: $280 Outer Barrel: $49 Spring: $15 (shipping included) Z-Parts Slide: $309.75 Outer Barrel: $52.50 Spring: included Result: Z-Parts is a rebranded RA-Tech Steel Kit. Don't be fooled into paying more for the same. Proves that Airsoft is just one gigantic scam... (pricing is off at the end, I just researched it right now) But they are exactly the same product. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NonEx Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 OK, good info. Just wanted to point out that the bottom line price difference is $18.25 USD so it's not really in the realm of "scamming" IMO. If Z-parts is a rebrand they probably have some overhead to cover for. But sure, the wise move would be getting it straight from the source of course if possible. Or is it possible maybe that they are not really a re-branded RA Tech but rather come from the same OEM manufacturer? I've seen some mixed info on how much of the steel kits RA make themselves vs. buying from someone else. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kratisto Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Proves that Airsoft is just one gigantic scam... Indeed. Outside of a few brands like TM, RS or KJW, you rarely get what you pay for. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Finbarqs Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Sorry, should've mentioned when I asked about the difference between RA tech and zparts from CWI airsoft, I was informed 'zparts' was better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnL Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Sorry, should've mentioned when I asked about the difference between RA tech and zparts from CWI airsoft, I was informed 'zparts' was better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I recently got a Zparts MSK trigger kit from CWI, and its definitley RAtech quality, but does that Mean RAtech makes it? no Im starting to think RAtech is the one rebranding parts, the Zparts kit looks alot like the RAtech kits for the regular M4s in construction style and quality, and Im guessing maybe in a little while the same kit will show up on RAtechs site labelled the RAtech MSK trigger kit...

Finbarqs Posted February 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I will say their vfc outer barrel was bar-none the best outer barrel I've had... Better than my viper and inokatsu... Actually is very comparable to RS Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
