Well, the 2009 expected-purchase progression has gone something like this so far:
1. WA CQB-R M4 GBB
- wow! gotta get me that one!
- mmm, maybe not so fast...incoming field reports less than glowing re. durability
- major upgrades required out of box to make it field-ready
- will pass on this one right now...
2. Inokatsu MTW M4 GBB
- ok, price is insane but
appears to be of much higher "quality" than WA
- will take a wait-n-see attitude, meanwhile build funds for possible purchase
- so far, it's the top contender until...
3. WE M4 GBB
- ok, not as realistic bolt operation as the other two but price is
really attractive for both rifle and mags
- some minor mystery-metal difficulties reported but aftermarket steel upgrades will be available, and mag gas problems will probably get sorted out
- internal design based upon very reliable classic "Escort" system so durability and reliability probably not a factor
- did I mention price??
So, from where I sit at the moment, the WE occupies the top spot on my 2009 purchase calendar, pending any developments for or against it. Thanks for the "vote" of confidence DT, but I'll still leave the lab ratting to the more-cash-than-I-have folks over at Arnie's.
There's also one other possibility but that would involve an airsoft kit for my RAP4 M4, and that's a whole other discussion entirely!
