Antagon Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Why would anyone buy this? CA products are horrible...just get the proven GP and SP versions. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted October 30, 2004 Report Share Posted October 30, 2004 Because even CA can't mess up on a tube and simple firing pin system. But honestly... G&Ps come with the right trades, so why bother? Link to post Share on other sites

G&Ps come with the right trades, so why bother? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You 100% sure on that? They messed up tubing with a spring and follower in it... Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted October 31, 2004 Report Share Posted October 31, 2004 As of late, they're quality control has been better, at least with my experience. Any problems with that would most likely not be from build material but assembly problems which should be easily sorted out. Who knows... sadly you may be right. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 and could someone please tell me why its only marui and Sun willing to make the m203 with m16 replacement foregrip/heatshield? I like that look, but I'm not paying for shiney nonsense drainpipe tubing and rubbish locking mechanisms from SP, or that silly three bb shotgun like afair from TM... come G&P and CA, make an m16 m203 heatshield, you lazy bums...

blank0shot Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I believe Toytech made an M203 a fully automatic 500rnd gravity feed version that pushed around 300-400fps. As well as CAW made a M203 i think. Link to post Share on other sites
flipsnip Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 but isnt there a fitting problem for other manufacturers of m203 onto the m15 series? people mite go for the easy option (ie the CA one) to solve this? Link to post Share on other sites
para-trooper Posted November 3, 2004 Report Share Posted November 3, 2004 Why would anyone buy this? CA products are horrible...just get the proven GP and SP versions. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> u obviously ain't seen CA's new M15 series with the V4 gearbox , ask any of the guys who were at AG and they'll kno what im on about Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 It's a version 2 gearbox but Classic Army's version 4 M16 series weapon. Version 4 gearboxes are Uzi gearboxes I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted November 4, 2004 Report Share Posted November 4, 2004 your mixing TMs gearboxes up with the CA gerboxes- Tm are up to V 7 or whatever, CA are up to V.4. TM use a v2 in their armalite range, whereas by CAs reckoning, they are on a V.4 for their armalites. basically the same shape, just different manufacturers' guidelines Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 No, the gearboxes for CA haven't changed. They're still version 2... CA's guns have had different versions however. CA didn't invent their gearbox, they just copied it from TM. It's still referred to as a version 2 gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites
para-trooper Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 dude its version 4 of their gearbox it says so on my CA box Link to post Share on other sites
nmcabecadas Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 Can be the 4th evolution of the type 2 gearbox, however for most people all these are still type 2. Type 3 are for AK's, G36 among others and type 1 for the FAMAS, if we want to use TM's types. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 It's still a copied version 2 gearbox. Link to post Share on other sites
para-trooper Posted November 5, 2004 Report Share Posted November 5, 2004 don't really matter about the gearbox much anyway, the gears are much better quality than TMs Link to post Share on other sites

Catchv22 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Get a G&P and get the CA M203 Adapters. I hate how CA stuff doesn't have the trades I like. Link to post Share on other sites
para-trooper Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 meh i prefere performance and build quality than anything else, and CA beats TM hands down in both Link to post Share on other sites
Crazy_Harry Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 well, hopefully CA haven't gone to the absurd lengths of getting their advert shots featuring TM m4s! talk about shooting yourself in the foot! and as I say, though the TM v2 gearbox is the same shape/design as the CA armalite gearbox (and hence can both be referred to as v2s for the sake of ease) they are different manufacturers and hence use different rules as to how they define the versions of their gearbox. TM have pretty much stopped perfecting their gearbox and only change its shape to make it fit into new aeg ranges, such as the thompson or uzi. CA haven't finished perfecting their gearbox range yet, and so are making new versions of the version 2s, and hence can refer to a CA gearbox that is esentially the same shape as a TM v2 as a CA v4. perhaps we should call them v2a4s or something...
