Awesome gun, both of them, my only beef is the carry handle sight is absolute garbage, poor eye relief and not very clear. Other than that, the exterior is amazing and the K model is a smooth shooter.

Indeed. As bad as it is, he isn't the only one who speeks of CA hate without even knowing a thing about them or have used their products.

Ah well their loss. They don't know what they are missing when they blow all their money on a TM gun and buy metal bodies and upgrades you get out of the box with CA. Since when was it exceptable to have a replica of a real gun that was plastic anyway? I'd like to know because I can't see how people as crazy about realism as airsofters even accepted a lame plastic body.

Well you see I do my own mechbox work, but I'm buying a used one, which has never been opened after the factory. That's why I was wondering.

Kinda off-topic here, but is $390 for a CA36K with a hicap a good deal?

Also, are there higher-quality aftermarket scopes available for the K?

Yes, VERY good deal. I'm pretty sure most Canadian retailers sell them in around the $600+ range.

Yup, pretty sure if you really wanted you could get the real-steel, it'd just set you back a fair amount.
