With the CA set long out of production, and the G&G running on $300 (no KAC trades either), this is long overdue. If I can scrap up a SR-15 M5 upper, I'll throw this on and finally have my SR-15 M5.

The CA set is out of production? No it isn't.

[Wraith18A]

Yeah, its not... I just picked up a new one for my M16A4 garb from AEX a week ago...

[hendrix]

it is but they have tons lying around, they have tons at spartan imports basically they didnt sell becuase of the price, around 3 months ago aex brought them from $220 to $145. they went out of production fairly recently to so its not like they've been gone for months.

[DarkLite]

Since CA is making a SPR with thier M5 RAS and they still sell it in thier HK store - I very much doubt that it's out of production.

[sadigh]

CA have they're own store? Kickass! Learn something new everyday

[pillow_pwnage]

According to WGC/UNCo/AW4, it has been out of production for almost a year now. Airsplat, evike, and AEX still have quantities in stock, as do a select few other stores, but not at the price I'd be willing to pay.

Let me rephrase.

It's about time an affordable and realistic M5 RAS was released.

[Sarge133]

Yay! Finally a decent RAS to put on my G&P M16!

you also might want to notice that this one (new one on the SPR's) are designed to be taller so they line up with the CA recievers which if i recall correctly are about 1mm or so taller than others. The older and out of production model was the correct hieght as it was completely flush with some GP and Systema bodies ive installed on other weapons.

[pillow_pwnage]

I do not believe the set on the M16a4 is sold as a stand alone unit, only the older version.

Either way, I face a difficult decision. SR-16 M5, or VFC HK416.

[Sarge133]

HK416 isnt your precious KAC. M5 is.

[pillow_pwnage]

M5 is more expensive, and right now I dont have the money for either.

Wrong again. The CA SPR to be released will use the old style M5 RAS - there is about 1-2mm difference between it and the body's rail.

[pillow_pwnage]

Well then I must draw one of two conclusions.

1) The CA M5 has stopped being produced as a stand alone product, but will be used on the SPR/M16a4 model due out.

2) I have no *fruitcage* idea what is going on.

I assume #1 is correct, but #2 is a distinct possibility.

[hendrix]

wow good spot, i figured they would corrct this but upon inspection of the pictures your right.

They still sell the M5 RAS as a standalone product.

[aznsk8s87]

Which only leaves....

[pillow_pwnage]

Then why is it out of stock at all major overseas retailers..



I am sad, those padded white rooms don't have any windows.

[HKG36]

look at Airsoftoneshop and Airsoftextreme they have them in stock

[Sarge133]

Airsplat and AirsoftGI also have them in stock. But I would rather go with a real one off ebay for about $200.
