ICS sport line any good?

[gundown]

are the ICS sport lines any good?
also do people find full stocks on M4 get in the way or do they look strange.
also if i change the delta ring could i use a non ICS RIS front or will the body not except any other brand.

thanks

The ICS sportline guns are great. I've got one of the M4 commando's and it's awesome.

The delta-ring is a marui-type, so any marui-compatible RIS unit will fit. I'm not sure about the threading on the barrel nut, but I've heard that G&P delta-rings might fit if you did want a real-steel styled delta-ring. I can't confirm it though.

The internals are great on the gun too and it shoots great as standard. You can read my full review in the reviews section.

As for full-stocks, they're good on a full-length M4 or M16, but they do look a little out of place on anything shorter than a 14" barrel.

Re: ICS sport line any good?

in my experience anything can be better than the G&G GR 16 Blowback

Re: ICS sport line any good?

my first gun was an ICS plastic MP5, was a beauty range was the only issue i had, even after spending about an hour fiddling with the hop i was struggling to hit a target at 100ft, but it never failed me and never cracked

Re: ICS sport line any good?

what would be better ca sportline or ICS plastic

[JMusa]

Re: ICS sport line any good?

ics plastic same internals as the metal just a different motor
the ca is plastic internals

[gundown]

Re: ICS sport line any good?

so ics would be better then. also one thing i am worried about is the compatibility of other brand in ics guns like front ends, stocks and hop up as i don't think they are compatibly if some could shed some light on that if they are or not

Re: ICS sport line any good?

Front ends will usually fit a TM style front end (this applies to handguards and some RIS sets, not outer barrels).
Fixed stocks will require modding (in case you're wondering, the fixed stock on an M4 is actually surprisingly comfortable). You can fit other brands of retractable stocks onto an ICS stock tube, though some may require modding (usually cutting off/filing down parts as they will be a tight fit onto the tube.). This also applies to sling mounts, such as the D-Boys one, which needs to be filed down to fit.

The hop up is fine the way it is. Just get a different rubber/nub if you want to upgrade it, otherwise leave it as is. Will save you a number of headaches. Other brands of hop up may require the base to be filed down.
Internal mechbox parts are 100% compatible with TM and SYSTEMA parts except for the anti-reversal latch and the nozzle, which needs to work with the ICS hop-up unit. If you get a different hop-up, swap out the nozzle.

Finally, if you're wondering, other brands of metal bodies DO NOT fit on ICS guns, you'll have to use ICS bodies.

Mags are standard and any decent brand mags will work fine.

Re: ICS sport line any good?

thank you that was a big help
also tanks to anyone who had posted

[gundown]

Re: ICS sport line any good?

here is my last question which one would you buy
ics Plastic(same inters as a £300 gun but compatibility issues)
CA sportline (cheapest)
TM sr16 m4(comes with full rail system and rail covers and foregrip)
all about the same price

Re: ICS sport line any good?

I'd go with the TM, ICS are good; but compatibility options are very limited, so only ICS metal bodies fit; after-market handguards are troublesome... Depends on what you want to do to it really.

CA plastic on the handgaurds are a bit cheap feeling, but I've replaced mine with a metal fore-end.

Re: ICS sport line any good?

the ca is plastic internals

I'm assuming you mean externals? Metal barrel is a one piece, everything apart from the body. - Everything is metal inside, apart from the nylon bushings and hop-up unit.

Is SRC a consideration?
