KWA M4 RIS

[Fat_Santa54]

Ok, just got in today, ordered from Arisoft Gi and I must say they are great, fast and to the point have done abour a dozen orders through them and never had one problem.

The gun comes with an RIS unit preinstalled by their profesional worksmen..... Well the RIS is a simple 2 peice desighn that comes apart similar to a normal foregrip. Other that that the gun is completly stock.

First off i bought this gun for its internals, 400FPS out of the box (wich it is) ROF is amazing, sounds great, hop-up is great barrell gives nice groupings, I could leave this gun the same internally and be happy with it. That being said the only thing i would change is rewiring it to the back and putting a stick lipo in the buffer tube, or some setup similar to that.

Externals, ABSOLUTE HorseSHIT, the metal doesnt feel like metal, more of a matted finish, guess its just the material, the charging handle doesnt really spring all that well and I have to push it the rest of the way in, the buttstock is wobble, but i expected that and switched it with a Magpul CTR wich doesnt not move at all. The carry handle isnt metal, dont know what it is. but if feels like a harder polymer plastic. Now most of these things are minor and more cosmetic, but here is were it really is bad, the handgarud is horrible, wobbels like no other, I thought i might just be the 2 peice RIS, so i put in a normal non-ris hangaurd and wow the same thing. Now this next thing really made me angry and I was about ready to throw the gun into my pool (but thats probably becuase i had a really and I mean really Shitty day), I cant open the damn thing up, the rear screw that comes out is like striped or something and when i turn the allen screw  the other big one that the allen comes out of just moves with it, I literally say there for 2 hours trying to open it up, nothing would work, tried holding the non-allen side in place in every way iminagible and still, cant get that damn screw out.

Now dont let the externals fool you, this is an amazing gun, I mean 400FPs out of the box and Lipo ready for only $330, I guess with such good internals i was expecting great ecternals, while IMO they are crap the externals on this gun definitly blow away most cheaper AEGS. And seening as i have a CA M4 wich has been out of commision for over a year I might just swap the bodies, that is if i can ever get the damn thing open....

EDIT: I was able to stop a lot of the RIS wobble buy putting some electric tape along the far end of the RIS, the part that locks in right next to the front sight, I think the little delta ring thing up there isnt locked in place very well, and yet I still cant get the screw off.

We've done quite a bit of work on KWA M4s and have had very few issues with them. Are you using the proper tools, like metric allen wrenches, or an AR-15 barrel wrench? At this point it seems like most of your issues, other than you not liking the finish, can be summed up in a single phrase: You're doing it wrong.

Bring it by Gearbox if you need some help, we have the tools you can use.

PS - "Lipo Ready" is just a marketing gimmick. It's not like they're doing anything special with the internals to allow for the higher rate of fire. We see just as many of these AEGs fail under Lipo as anything else.

i got one of these in the SIR configuration. my stock was also wobbly but i opened it up and retightened it and it was all good. on mine the metal tooth on the piston broke off and wedged itself in between the cylinder and nozzle but the good men down at gearbox fixed that up(thanks guys, i know your on here) and it worked perfect after that. the thing runs like a monster, rof is out of this world, accuracy is great. i never used a lipo on it but with a large 9.6 of whatever type i had, it ran great. i have nothing but good things to say about this gun. i wish any other gun operated, sounded or shot like this.
