@ Kos-Mos, if you have criticism your follow up post is what I expect to see ;-)

real info, pics etc. not just a nose twiddle and disappear (which seems to be endless here) + the no AV status came off like a 14 year old, sorry

I appreciate you putting the time into a follow up.

the later pics you and Crunchmeister posted are the first time I've seen the tri-rail/(fore site RIS) and I do spend a bit of time checking out every pic I see in news sources etc. (usually hard to see any significant detail :-/ )

that said I don't worry about the SCA level of detail (what do you mean you're wearing 10th century leggings with a tunic from 850 AD) I can live with similar/evocative. the links from ICSbb may not be minute detail accurate but I fail to see how the posts/images from wiki are misleading given they are C* specific

re. the cheapo red dot. yes it is, as posted I swapped for an X7 fore site paint was on it and didn't really care much and didn't want to damage the finish removing it.
I can't see the point of spending $120 + on a real site/scope when the accuracy of airsoft just doesn't warrant it (at least not with an entry level ICS) and the cheapo has a nice big aperture which I do really like

I still take exception with inflammatory statements "nothing like" & "not remotely the same" :-P, given the same base platform I would say yes there is [strong] similarity there as the differences are fundamentally cosmetic (different hand guard, tri rail, carbine vs full length) not like I'm trying to pawn off an AK or MP5 as a M16/M4/C7-8 etc. and I think most people here understand the diff between a carbine and a "full length"

I can live with the ICS trademarks too, if I ever had to deal with any grief over travel etc. it would be a whole lot harder to convince some ignoramus my CF stamped gun is really air soft. I like air soft but don't need to be a martyr to it.

initial response to the pic of my gun from a buddy who did his naval intel training last year "Looks good man - and very familiar! This is what I lugged around all summer. " apparently he's not into the SCA level of detail either.
