First the KA M4A1 MOE. I was initially impressed by how it looks. It's a high quality build, with the receivers having great coloring, full metal with excellent engraved trades. The Magpul PTS hardware is some of the most durable and sexy hardware available, IMO. I initially used a 9.6v 1600mah mini battery and it was a tight fit in the forward handguard. Rate of fire was respectable and it chrono'd with .20s at 347fps with the hop fully turned off. The range was respectable, with some long range kills made, until the hop adjustment dial creeped. Several times during the day I had to readjust it back into range. I will be adding a locking washer to the dial to keep it from creeping in the future. The hop unit itself is a high quality one piece metal that fits perfectly, providing a great air seal. Compression couldn't be better.
In the near future I will probably add a tighter barrel and play with the hop bucking and spacer to find what works best. This is in addition to the modification to the hop mentioned above. But all in all, out of the box this is a fantastic weapon, that if properly cared for should provide a lot of reliable service.
Next is the KA ODA Hook Sling. I'm always looking for a new sling. The requirements I am always looking for is comfort, the ability to change shoulders easily, not have the sling get fouled in my other equipment, yet be out of the way when performing tasks or using my sidearm. This sling fits those requirements perfectly. In addition gone are the days of having the sling bite and chafe my neck all day.
I can't say enough good things about this sling. Granted, it may not be for everyone, but for us gear whores, it's a must buy. We're gonna try and procure some of these and get them into the store. They come in OD, Black and Tan.
