CA vs ICS vs King Arms

[MrT]

Now that I have my site membership , I am searching for my ideal weapon.

At the moment, I'm looking at either CA M15A4 Carbine, ICS M4A1 Carbine or King Arms M933.

I was just wondering if anyone had any good/bad experiences with any of these manufacturers and also if anyone had an alternative suggestions.

Re: CA vs ICS vs King Arms

If you want an Armalite and not do much to it you can't beat an ICS.

The manageability of them is second to none. They are so easy to work on its unbelievable. The hopup is superior compared to your average M4 hopup so you good, consistent shots which is what everyone wants.

If you however want to customise the crap out of it with Magpul parts or what have you then I'd avoid it. ICS use different measurement sizes so fitting non ICS after-market parts can be tricky, while not impossible its a hard job.

I have CA AR15's and love them to bits. Build quality is excellent.

Have you considered G&P? Current quality is superb.

Re: CA vs ICS vs King Arms

i own a ca m15a4 rifle and the performance is quite superb with a tightbore and systema hop, not sure on stock
i own an ics l85 and the quality and performance is immense

few team mates own various guns from the ics range and kings arms range and have nothing but good things to say about them

i have an ICS M4 and it performs great. Not missed a beat yet. Easy to work on with the split gearbox too.
Apmaman is dead right tho, nighmare to fit non-ICS parts to. I had a major job just swapping out the folding stock as the stock tube guides are tapered and the fixing to the body is not standard.
Great gun though. Got an ICS MP5 SD5 on the way now too.

I haven't really looked into G&P; I'll check out their range tomorrow.

Thanks to all so far for your feedback, sounds like I've narrowed it down to the best few to choose from .

I was convinced on CA but then I saw the ICS range. I've pretty much decided I don't like M933 so it will be between CA, ICS and G&P once I've checked them out.

Ultimately it will probably come down to what I can afford in the end. Are any of these manufacturers better value than the others?

Re: CA vs ICS vs King Arms

CA i think are one of the best bang for buck manufacturers out there

owner of my airsoft site is a very exoerianced tech and the entire fleet of rental guns consists of CA M4s - as far as your first gun goes, superb reliability and great performance

Re: CA vs ICS vs King Arms

I am veering back to my original choice (CA), but I think I wouldn't go far wrong with any of these manufacturers. I am going to search later today for package/special deals on any of these rifles/mfrs and start to look at the best internals supplied with the stock weapon.

Keep the comments coming please - it is really helping

couldn't agree more, all of my mates who have G&P's can't fault them. externally and internally superb
