Hello lads,

this is a question for you seasoned veterans of Model guns.

Do you think £200 is steep for a second hand M4A1, all be it in good condition with spare mags and rounds?

I ask as I'm looking at one at the moment. I've recently had a brand new M4A1 for about the same price so I'm thinking a second hand one should be a bit less?

Feedback always appreciated fellas.

Well, Dentrinity http://www.dentrinityshop.com/pl_collector2.jsp?cid=COL&bid=MGUN
Has them for $340 or £195.94 (new) If the used one that you are looking at has spare magazines and rounds it is easily worth the extra money especially if its in great condition.

i wouldnt bother with it oakers

(is it from a site or a private sale by the way ?)

you may as well just pick up a new model.....then you know were you stand ...... but £200.... well ..... thats going off brand new uk prices .... so why not go off brand new japan prices .... like mark says....dentrinity or francky can get you one for that price

Cheers for the feedback lads, it's a private sale, with spare mag/s and rounds so maybe.

the thing you have to ask yourself is: why do i want 2?

Illuminati has a good point !

its 200 notes you could spend on something else !

id let it go mate

get a bergman MP18 instead

I think that you should ask yourself, why NOT have two! If the accessories make it worth wile then maybe, otherwise I would be inclined to go for a new one from Francky.

Hi Oakers,

Yes, i have to agree with illuminati, why do you need 2? ....Oh wait i have 3 damn those buying sprees

Those kind of buying sprees are somehow dangerous but seem frequent to you, though

i could never buy 2 of the same model ......... i could by 20 variations of a similar model ..........but not 2 that were the same

Is there really such a thing as "too many"? This is the dilemma we, as well as our long suffering partners, face & if I'm honest guys, finances and space willing I'd probably have two of everything

I've sen the new one back and am just looking for a refund so it would be just the one. If you're wondering it arrived broken in two places. Rear locking pin housing was sheared clean off and the barrel had snapped completely off of the weapon!
