King Arms Colt M4A1 (AEG) vs. ICS M4 Carbine?

[Scott6203]

I have made this post because I could not find much information on the KA M4, in regards to the quality of the internals and externals. There is much information on the ICS, but I have found that there are both positive comments and negative comments. So if you've had one or both of these airsoft rifles; could you please let me know of your experience, and what you would personally choose?

This is my first post on ASC; so I am sorry if I made any mistakes in regards to placement of this "thread."

P.S. I am 17 years of age, and I am trying to gather information on airsoft rifles so I make the right choice of rifle when I am of age.

I have both at the moment.

The King Arms one have really great externals.
Mine sports an aftermarket mechbox, so nothing stock. I heard that the King Arms mechbox is quite good overall.

Fitting other brands of externals to a King Arms body might be a bit hard. I had a lot of issues with a Troy front-end on my rifle.

The ICS I find is way better if you can thinker with it. Most externals don't fit right away and you need to do a few tweaks here and there.
Stock internals are so-so, but since 99% of them are compatible (trigger mech, mechbox shell and anti-reversal are specific), upgrading it is a breeze.

I have heard that the KA isn't compatable with other brands of mags; is this true?

No thats a lie, dont know where you heard that from, KA is one of the best high end AEGs out there alongside G&P, Majority of my Guns are KA and they all work with my CA midcaps and i even use ACM mags in them as well

By the way you should do alot more research there is plenty of Reviews about King arms AEGs out there i dont know where the heck you are looking for your information but there are plenty of reviews on youtube, I for one have one of the first line of m4 AEGS they came out with which was the King arms M4 CQBA3 its on youtube, theres tons of reviews about the mech box as well, it comes with a standard 7mm gearbox and fires extremely well stock. King arms M4 series beats ICS any day hands down, There have been some issues with ICS external parts, so you might as well go King Arms, i Personally love King Arms guns, the Stock KA M4A1 is way better than a stock ICS M4A1 externally and internally, and even stock Marui!! and it is also a lot cheaper than a Marui too
