Decent M4A1 for <£250?

Re: Decent M4A1 for &lt;£250?

G&Ps are well reknowned for being good guns on this forum, but compared to my ICS M16 I wasn't overly impressed with the build quality and features of the ones I've held. That's just me.

Classic Army make a half decent Armalite M15 but they're old news IMO.

Thanks for the replies guys, I guess I'll be going for a G&P, but I'll also check out the KWA.
What's the difference between the Sentry and the standard G&P M4A1?

I was also pleased to only see one member had gone down the "you're under 18 and can't get one!" route too...

Re: Decent M4A1 for &lt;£250?

G&P, or KWA all the time!
Oh, and at a glance it looks like the sentry has a different stock and also looks to have a RIS front end whereas the standard doesn't.
But I could be wrong.

Re: Decent M4A1 for &lt;£250?

Although being under 18, he shouldn't be buying from the forums, but that aside, having to have it two toned limits your second hand options some what

As with ALL these threads, I still recommend the G&P

Well spotted, never even looked at that just read the post. :D

Although, if you two-tone a sentry I will hunt you down and end you.

if i were you, i'd get a TM and get an m100 spring (no more than a tenner)

my TM M16 has lasted over 3 years!

I was well happy with mine but the gearboxes are suspect(plastic) and get noiser as you use them..metal bodies though,but components like air nozzles,poor quality hop-unit,etc don't take kindly to tampering..,saying that though if you leave them alone they are fine,always firing hot out of the box aswell....excellent VFM though,check them out if you're on a budget..D

For you money I'd get the best G&P you can get new or used.
You can change the hop and then slowly mod it.

They are great all round, but might want to upgrade the internals later???

I would say KWA all the way, very tasty gun to use. I quite enjoy mine.

Either that or a G&P.

KWA all the way. i was going to get g&p as that gets most people praising it. but was convinced to go for KWA best choice ever.
Try and get the HK or TW model as that has nicer markings than "KWA"

Re: Decent M4A1 for &lt;£250?

id be happy with any of the above,personally in that budget im using ICS,if i need to upgrade, or change externally,i use ICS.....

Re: Decent M4A1 for &lt;£250?

Thanks guys, but I'm looking at the G&P and KWA guns. Which one looks more like the real steel and is more metal?

And sorry Snuff, I posted that comment before looking at the sentry! I was wondering if the internals were different.

Completey opposite to mine?..these things happen..
I've just visited their website and it does state metal body,gearbox and magazine???

No need to apologise,and I posted because I have no idea...find them both on the same webby and it "should" tell you.:D
