It came today.

Ill have My initial thoughts written up tommorow (been up for like 24 hours, NOT WRITING RIGHT NOW!)

Some Things ill say now;

Front heavy.

Body is Nice but the top rail seems a tad wide as my eotech sat at a slight angle on it, this can be a problem on real ar's too though soo :s.

Trades are weird (seem raised, not lowered) though the markings (safe semi Etc...) seem imprinted, will investigate further

NEEDS LUBRICATION AND CLEANING, though thats probably from the trip and the fact that they used like oil grease, rather then some sort of silicone..

And, it seems to have a Real steel legenth gas tube.... Cool.



Sneak peek!...

WONT HAPPEN BECAUSE THIS FORUM ONLY ALLOWS 1000 PIXEL WIDE IMAGES!!!!

Do the WA M4 mags fit? And how does the hopup adjust? I'm seeing the hole where the hopup dial is but no dial?

The dial rotatates, i think... It just has no notches... its weirdly smooth...

I have a WA mag on the way right now, and will test fitment, and blowback then.

I forgot to mention, the bottom portion of the ris wobbles, and I dont like that. But the rails are in spec, and its nice and light, while feeling very strong.

I have a feeling im gonna be getting a different hop, But we shall see.

I need to wipe the whole gun down, all kinds of dust on it when It came out of the box... I don't wanna get crazy Taiwan disease.

Its body pins are prety nice functioning. But there is a Slight gap between the upper and lower. Where should I shim to fix this?

Also, i can't get the rubber flashider off. I think it may be loctited...

THIS IS FUN IM HAVING FUN AGAIN>!

I'm hoping the delays meant that you received an updated / fixed version of the Inokatsu M4. Got to wait until you get the WA M4 mag though... How do you like the finish on the metal body? Engravings ok? Color?

The delay is because I wanted serial number 1140.

WTF :wtf: Why on earth did they send you an INO M4 with the masterwork logo! INO has their M4 licensed from Colt, Colt logo shouldn't be a problem. Man if they send me an INO with the ridiculous materwork logo they are soooo... screwed. :problem:
The masterwork logo is the single most ridiculous logo I've seen on this planet. "property of masterwork" :wtf: people spend $800 and it's not even their property???? or is $800 the rent fee for this gun? Man whoever designed this logo must be an idiot. axechase

Here's a comparison between INO M4 and real Colt AR-15.
http://www.intrudershop.com.tw/showrepo ... port_id=55
It's written in chinese but there are lots of comparison photos. As far as I can tell color's not right (receiver is toooo shiny and blackish, steel barrel is toooo gray), engraving's not right (shallow, thin, incorrect font), finish of the upper ain't right (the finish of the upper rail is horrible), bolt release press and selector are waaaay too big, BTW the pistol grip ain't right as well (too thin, like 3/4 the width of the real AR/M4 grip)
To sum up the only decent piece (with correct dimension and correct finish, comparable to RS quality) is the butt assembly, which worth about 70 bucks. asleep

on a real colt the trades are stamped , not engraved. which is probibly what they did and that is why the outer edges look raised. thats true to real steel. and the real knights ris tends to move a bit. the ras system doesnt at all
