So it appears KWA has decided to release a version of their M4 AEG series with the old huge "KWA" logo replaced with the US Marine insignia (ala G&P). On the right side it appears to display the Knights Armament Info. (which is strange and unexpected as that's still infringement). Maybe these are "Asia" only models?
KWA M4A1 KWA M4A1 CQB KWA M4A1 Tactical Is this news? I was completely unaware they were going to do this. I'm not a big fan of the old KWA logo, but I was pretty impressed by the build quality of the overall piece especially for what they cost and their FPS straight out of the box. Although I'm not crazy about the USMC logo, the fact that they changed the logo bodes well IMHO for future releases. Hopefully we'll see these come out with Colt logos or something less in your face soon. -------------------- Photos: My Photo Album

Yeah im not so hot on the KWA logo. But i know some fields that let you play w/ 380-400fps. It bepends on who runs the field.

Ohh, give me that Tactical (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
But aren't there battery issues with the KWA's? That the battery won't actually fit in the handguard? |

I'm afraid these are the Asia versions, KWA isn't liscenced to trademarks besides their own in the US. You may be able to order one with the trades covered and then take off the covering.

Nice. I couldn't stand those KWA trades on such a nice rifle.

i am a Marine, and of course love the Eagle Globe and Anchor logo... but it seems like every 12 year old playing now has one as well, and of course they are no Marine. so, that makes it corny... the Eagle Globe and Anchor reciever is way too common now, that it looses its merit.
it is a start, but id like COLT trades very, very much. then i would get one for sure. -Joe -------------------- "AS MARINES, OUR MESSAGE TO OUR FOES HAS ALWAYS BEEN ESSENTIALLY THE SAME: WE OWN THIS SIDE OF THE STREET!

I got to look at one of these a couple of weeks ago, and I was very impressed. Extremely solid construction and a great shooter too. I didn't get a chance to chrono it, so I can't say what the FPS was. Overall, a very good buy for someone who wants a metal gun that's ready to go out of the box.

you've got G&P to thank for the eagle and globe being on practically every m4 reciever out there, i wish they would bring back the old colt trades as well.

well, it is good G&P did it, bad that everyone else copied, and all the little kiddies think they are cool because they have it

WTF O_O
KWA M4 $238?!!! What's wrong with it? (lol) Is KWA manufacturing these USMC trademarked M4s; or are these modified? SWEET find, never really looked into WGC shop past the ICS M4s. I regret it now. Any idea what shipping to U.S. is? -------------------- -1337-Zax-ILA-

QUOTE (ZAXAQUAR @ Jun 29 2008, 10:42 AM) WTF O_O KWA M4 $238?!!! What's wrong with it? (lol) Yeah pretty cheap right? A week ago I was a little shocked when I found KWA AEGs at an airsoft store nearby. The M4 (KWA trades) was ~£250, the G36C was ~£220. This is dirt cheap here. My CA SA58 carbine was ~£330. If it wasn't for the fact I already have too many AEGs, I would have snatched up that G36C on the spot. £220 is almost into ACM territory here. |

I feel gypped now. lol
I paid almost $300 for my KWA (with KWA trades!). I would've loved USMC trades; but I'm painting over the trades anyway.. so it's not a big difference. I'm definately keeping an eye on WGCshop now. You're right, it's at the point of being better internally than ICS and CA (I love ICS though) and being in-between the price of ACM and ICS/CA. KWA really owns. oorah t' that. -------------------- -1337-Zax-ILA-

So... time for a heated discussion: Is it the best M4 for under $1000 yet? Or for the price?
