Hi, I'm searching around different dealers and this site had the lowest total cost for the rifle I'm looking at (ARES Elite Force m4a1). Anyone have experience ordering from this site?

Thanks,

Dan

I have not bought from them but I know someone who comes out and plays with us has. They bought 3 bags of bbs and were not told they were out of stock until they called 3 days later. After 2 months the bbs came in...

I don't know if this is normal for them but this is the only time I have seen or known anyone who has bought and it was bad.

I'll just have to check to make sure the gun is in stock then, which it should be as most of the other sites have them in stock as well. The dealer is the closest to my area which sells the rifle.

Truthfully if your ordering online, as long as the company is stateside, shipping will be somewhere within a days difference between companies. Now I don't know about the area gun, but I would suggest weapon blender.com, airsoft gi, and maybe evike.com

I'm going to +1 to felix on that

I'll give airsoft GI a try

Regardless of what site you buy it from, don't waist your money on that M4.

Just noticed the Elite Force part..

Grab a G&G Combat Machine and be merry.

What's your reasoning Dom? Have you seen issues with this particular model?

I for one wouldn't ever use this site. There are many sites that I use regularly, but I've never even heard of them. As far as the gun goes, you should really look at the for sale section. You could get a much better gun than what you are going to pay for that. I've got a full metal G&G M4 for sale for $150 that is like new, and there are a few others with some KWA's for sale for only a little more than you are going to pay for that. I'd take a look around there before getting this gun.

Nagle, as a general rule you should not buy an ARES. There are several companies that make better ones for about the same amount of money, and others that make comparable ones for less.

I've heard that the Star M4 was pretty great in quality, but that was years ago, so I can't say much about them now.

airsoft atlanta ships pretty quick but they don't have as much inventory as other sites like evike. they're the only site i'd ever use.
