Busta Cap
Thanks for the kind words on my review. I plan to do add one or two more updates to it in the near future on the gear box and showing how to mount it on a vehicle and tripod.
No problem, If you need some help either engineering a mount of having it fabbed, again let me know, I can do this as well and my machine work is pretty reasonable.
From what I've heard, the TH M240 hasn't been discontinued but temporary unavailable according to a friend who tried to order one from Spartan recently. I wonder if they were affected by the crack down on airsoft gun manufactures in China.
I am an authorized dealer for both Spartan and Redwolf Airsoft, both confirmed that it is currently not in production, which probably means no more of them.
Echo-1 is supposedly coming out with one too but I think they have run into the same problem with China too. From the pictures that I've seen it appears to be similar to the TH M240.
Here is where Echo-1, madbull , socom gear (all falling under the same parent company IIRC) have done the right thing, they actually get licensing and trademarking. Such as the new m82 from Socom Gear. It's a big AEG, why is it $1k+? Barrett..
By the way, here is a Youtube review of the Inokatsu M240
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojN2KcPp4r0I know Inokatsu has brought their prices way down to match the price of the Trigger Happy M240. By the way, Busta, what's a MAP rule?
This depends entirely on what distributor and how many you are going through, but yes they are much cheaper to retailers than the TH. MAP is Minimum Advertised Pricing. It's a short way of explaining in legal terms, 'don't let us know you are selling this stuff so cheap!"
Anyway, from what I've seen, I think the TH M240 is better. The only exception it that the Inokatsu M240 seems to have a more sturdier but heavier body. The other thing that I'm not keen on is the ammo box. It's bulky and not as clean. The worst thing is the piece that attaches to the gun is the same hideous day glow light blue color as the gear box.
Ah, yes the blue anodized wire harness/feeding tube. Why inokatsu did that is beyond me, they made a great replica, then adding some race gun to it..fail in my book.
If you want pricing on the inokatsu or any other pieces, please shoot me a PM or call my office number @ 480 389 4831
