Which M4?

[nicholashay]

I want to get a good M4, are any made under licence that have the proper factory markings? What ones should I stay clear of?

Re: What M4 ?

Which markings are you after exactly? I'm afraid the are now rather alot that are available. Colt/US Government? Armalite?

US Govt. ANything realistic not "ChingChong Armoury" or something!

Re: What M4 ?

I have an ICS M4 and the markings on that are very good.

Its the whole property of US Govt M4A1 business on there.

ive just taken what is probably the worse photo ever of it but it gets the point across i hope.

TM have proper markings as well but I cant speak for any other manufacturers i'm afraid.

Failing that, G&P make nice after market metal bodies that have an array of different us govt and other markings on them.

Just have a look through the various ones and choose one you like I guess.

This.

There are many different options depending on price range!
+1 to ICS suggestion, mine has olympic arms trademarks.

ICS M4 great trades, great bit of kit worth every penny, easy to sort gun jams yourself, even performing upgrades is simple.

I have an ics m4. It has government markings on it and a serial number. It is a good weight and size. I would recommend one..

Re: Which M4?

Just a word of warning, my ICS m4 didn't have proper trades when I bought it last year.
It just a big ICS logo and some markings like "auto electric gun", doesn't bother me though and besides I've got a ready mag holder there now so don't really see it.

SRC M4 SD full metal. Don't usually go for m4's but this is a little sweetie. check it out at a site of the world in scotland. I am having one

Re: Which M4?

But that doesn't have authentic trades either

Re: Which M4?

If your budget stretches to £200 get a G&P; Externals wipe the floor with other makes and the internals are very respectable as well. Have all the necessary markings you're after.

Re: Which M4?

its very much down to you what you want it to look like as there are so many options

its one thing having it look the part but if (like me) prefer to hit your target then its more about how the gun works than how it looks

its better to have a gun that looks like a pile of poo and fires every time you pull the trigger and in a streight line too - rather than making everyone in the safe zone go "OOOOOOOOOOOOO" and never shout "HIT" for you in a skirmish

just my opinion

Re: Which M4?

Have always been a fan of ICS my self. Easy to work on as well if you are into that.

Reliable,great solid internals... look good as well and come with 2 hi cap mags!

Classic army have good trades. They do say Classic army as well but they armalite trade do make up for that.
