aznsk8s87 Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Apparently, DBOYS has some new M203's out with various methods of attachment. They can be found on both www.gunnerairsoft.com and www.rsov.com. Quick question, What are the differences between the two non-rail mounts? Link to post Share on other sites
Crimson Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 its just a range of different attachment mount systems http://www.rsov.com/index.php?target=produ...product_id=3261 it can fit any m4, ie a ris or barrel mount version etc so one m203 will fit and work on any m4 you own Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Which is actually quite smart. eBayBanned has 'em, too. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
Vercingetorix Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Wish they had trades I'd buy one in a heartbeat f they did.... Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Now why haven't any of the higher end manufacturers ever come out with something as logical as this? RIS or barrel mount with the QD front attachment all in one handy package, wish this had come along sooner. Link to post Share on other sites
aznsk8s87 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah, but what's the difference between the two mounts that aren't rail mounts? Kinda new to the whole launcher thing... Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 My guess would be for different sized barrels, but what do I know. $40 seems quite reasonable compared to other offerings. Still, quite a lot for a metal tube with a simple trigger IMO, but it's a start. Also really cool touch with the different mounts. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah, but what's the difference between the two mounts that aren't rail mounts? Kinda new to the whole launcher thing... From what I recall, one is compatible with TM spec-ed bodies, the other with G&P spec-ed bodies. Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 They really did think of everything, didn't they? Good job D-Boys. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFoxRomel Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 this is exactly I was waiting for, a full metal M203 barrel mount without the ridiculous price. Now I have to chose between buying this or spending more money the plastic springer m203 that I am trying to convert into a shell loading M203 Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 ^ For $40, it's hard to go wrong. -Vic Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFoxRomel Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 true, but does anyone know the shipping rate for that from HK to southern California? Thanks in advance. Link to post Share on other sites
Victory Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 It varies. What you can do, add one to your cart, and proceed to checkout. There, they will give you different shipping options and tell you the prices of each. I'm interested in these, too, so I'll check it out. I'm in SoCal, too, so I'll let you know how much shipping is for me. -Vic Edit: $22 for surface mail (10-12 weeks) or $50 for EMS (4-7 days transit time). /RSOV So eBayBanned's cheaper.

badsailor Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Now, somebody needs to make an EGLM. I know STAR/ARES makes one, but there is no way it is worth $200. And VFC is supposed to be making one, but we need an affordable clone. Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Now, somebody needs to make an EGLM. I know STAR/ARES makes one, but there is no way it is worth $200. And VFC is supposed to be making one, but we need an affordable clone. Yeah. Normal M203's look naff on Scars and I want a grenade launcher! Even more so now that those cheap POM 48 shots are readily available. Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 From what I recall, one is compatible with TM spec-ed bodies, the other with G&P spec-ed bodies. Almost. apparently the outer barrel/delta ring is the issue. the marui-types are snap-on, the g&p types are screw on delta rings, and apparently the outer barrels also differ in diameter and such. trades or no, this baby looks very attractive, price and all. what's putting me off more than a little however is that RSOV lists it at 2.1 kilos (~4.6lbs), which is pretty much twice the weight of the G&P launcher. and the additional adapters can't weigh that much Link to post Share on other sites
Cpt Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Rsov(among others) do that. They charge the costumer for a higher shipping rate, then pocket the money for themselves. Link to post Share on other sites
transist Posted December 20, 2008 Report Share Posted December 20, 2008 Rsov(among others) do that. They charge the costumer for a higher shipping rate, then pocket the money for themselves. No, it just simply costs an assload of money to ship from china/HK. There's no conspiracy here. Link to post Share on other sites
badsailor Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 No, it doesn't cost as much to ship items from HK. I have personnaly walked into Redwolf's offices, bought a few items, walked outside and went to the Fedex right next door and shipped items to my house for less than what they were charging. I also ship items to and from japan regularly. Shipping is expensive, but not as much as some retailers are charging. Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 How much less and who boxed it up? They do charge you for shipping and handling. Link to post Share on other sites
DyNo! Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 No, it just simply costs an assload of money to ship from china/HK. There's no conspiracy here. No it doesn't. Gas isn't that expensive now. RSOV pockets the money - period... Link to post Share on other sites
RedScare Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Yes it does It adds up Big deal if they do. dont buy from them then, more stuff for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Chevieblazer Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 well, I wasn't really concerned about the shipping cost so much, but about having to haul around an extra 2 kilos instead of 1 kilo with G&P and 600grams with echo1. I actually mailed EBB asking how much it weighs Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted December 21, 2008 Report Share Posted December 21, 2008 Now, somebody needs to make an EGLM. I know STAR/ARES makes one, but there is no way it is worth $200. And VFC is supposed to be making one, but we need an affordable clone. I've got the EGLM and it is worth $200. These Chinese clones have skewed people's idea of what a thing is worth. It's bloody good. Link to post Share on other sites

RSOV pockets the money - period... Well done, you have passed lesson 1 of retailers basics. Of course they charge more than the shipping costs, they do have to pay staff to pack the orders and pay for the cost of shipping materials and then for the time taken processing the order and actually posting it! Do you know what else retailers usually do? They buy stock at lower prices and add markups to it and then pocket the difference! These Chinese clones have skewed people's idea of what a thing is worth. It's bloody good. Indeed, the external quality of the STAR/Ares guns is fantastic from what i've had chance to see (the stamped steel body on my FNC is lovely!), but sadly the days when people were willing to save up money for the good quality kit have gone and they now just moan about not being able to afford and how everything should be made as a cheap clone Link to post Share on other sites
