As far as I know, classic army is identical to marui, but it's from metal, and I had no compatibilty issues on my CA g3, which uses ver 2 gearbox too. So I doubt you'll get issues with CA.
CA proline series guns are also one of my favs.Good externals,durable,and easy to work on.As far as I know, classic army is identical to marui, but it's from metal, and I had no compatibilty issues on my CA g3, which uses ver 2 gearbox too. So I doubt you'll get issues with CA.
There for a couple of years CA allowed there quality to fall off,and it gave them a bad rep in the process.As of now there quality has improved,and there once again a good brand to buy.Im speaking of the Proline series,the Sport series I have no experience with,but everything ive read is pretty negative.Ive been told for years that CA has always been a bitch to work with.
It will cost you 3-4 times as much to go this route as it would to buy a good gun and upgrade it.Your better off buying a broken gun and building from there over buying individual parts.Its not a good idea unless you have bottomless pockets,or a VERY long time in which to build the gun with.I have decided to build my gun completely from scratch. Body, Stock, front assembly, rails, and the gearbox too. I'll be doing G&P externals, but thanks for the replies guys.
