Just want to see what sort of interest is out there for this product...it’s been discussed lightly in some of the UTG MP5 and AK threads but some of the early reports that have recently been popping up in the States look promising...
The WELL M4 (R6)
-Est. 280FPS - real stats so far show 250ish
-Comes with an 8.4v 1100mAh battery and charger
-250 round hi-cap (NOT interchangeable w/TM, CA, ICS mags!)
-Adjustable hop-up, full metal gearbox, removable carrying handle, etc. Similar to the SRC M4A1
(PICS)
Initial reviews coming from ASR and other forums are looking decent. The major issue at this point seems to be poor shimming out of the box but other than that...the gearbox is exactly like the TM Version II and TM, CA, ICS, etc....internals are 100% interchangeable.
It seems many of the guys are picking these up for a hundred bucks (USD), tossing another $30-50 into the gearbox and turning out awesome better-than-stock AEGs. Out of the box, it seems to work just fine for entry-level players on a budget. Said to compare with the UTG MP5A4/A5, the upcoming UTG AK47 and the current SRC M4A1.
USA wholesale pricing is right about $65.00 USD and it’s currently selling around the $100 USD retail...a little cheaper overseas.
Thoughts? I’m thinking a $200-220 CAD range would be about fair after shipping, customs, GST, etc...
Compared to the SRC @ 299 CAD (canadianair) and the UTG MP5 @ 260 (canadianair)...the low $200 range CAD would seem about right IMO.
Thoughts? Flames? It’s no TM, CA, ICS........but! For a decent entry level-AEG or an awesome project gun base...eh?
