Thanks for all the opinions and advice guys.
But i have decided instead of going through the risk of my gears break or whatever that i am going to get a CA before upgrading anything.

Now i need opinions on what kind of CA gun to get :) trying not to spend over $300 any opinions?

It's all about the style you want.
However, if you want high quality standard stuff, go with the M15a4.
All their other guns are good too, it's just that the CA15a4 is just.... all around awesome.

Haha thanks Rob.

I was leaning more towards http://www.trinityairsoft.com/p-341-cla ... t-gun.aspx and its under $300 :)

But if i dont see good review about it or whatnot ill go for the CA15a4 or something along those lines

i almost got that gun, it fells very solid, and when shooting it, you feel that you have the upper hand in a one on one with the other person.  I would definitely recommend it.  [smilie=armata_pdt_37.gif]

as an owner of a non- m4 gun, my reccomendation is that unless you *really* want something else, you probably ought to go with one. Parts availability and prices for armalites are significantly better than anything else, simply because everybody and their second cousin has one.  But if that doesn't factor into your equation, go for it. CA makes good guns. Word to the wise though, you'll want to make the spring+tightbore upgrades to nearly any new gun you buy.

Yeah, the main reason i wanted to get something other than an M4 is because everyone does have one. And For parts, i would probably only get a "spring+tightbore" like you said, and maybe in the future a scope, or reddot. And for the parts should i get them online or go to a local store like GearBox?

Have you ever been into a gearbox??? (not the store, an AEG gearbox) If not I would get the parts from them and have Batman (Jared) do the install. He is a shimming GOD!!!

They will take care of you. If they don't have what you’re looking for they can probably order it for you. As far as pricing... I can't complain they seem to be good prices to me BUT I don't go anywhere else. I value knowledge and customer service over price any day. Not saying anything negative to ANY other shops but when you have this good of an experience at one shop ,there is no reason to try anyone else.

I just called them and asked the guy that i was talking to about 5-6 questions and he was pretty cool, its $30 to have them upgrade stuff for you, tightbore = $34 Spring = $12, and the CA Ak and M4 i asked about were $250-279.

And i've decided that im getting a M4 just because i can get help with it just about anywhere :)
