I need help deciding on my next purchase. I have been looking at buying a gsg5 rifle for awhile, and now that the sd's are out from the shot show, I am ready to pull the trigger and get it on the way....but then I see, that Colt finally came out with their M4 Replica .22 (which I was waiting on as well). And so I am looking for opinions....as Ive dragged my feet too much and am going to buy this week.
So, does anyone have a comparison between these two rifles? I honestly have thought about just buying both, as GSG's appear to maintain their used value, but mostly I am stuck because of the details with the Colt. Such as: lack of part interchanging with ar's, lack of magazine options, and I was told they dont have a threaded barrel. The smaller colt "cons" make me lean towars getting just a gsg, and then looking for a dedicated .22 upper. But when I start to read about all the different ones out there, the prices seem to be close to the Colt (and its a complete unit), and the opinons and reviews are like a Ford vs Chevy argument.
Helpful opinions and comments greatly appreciated (preferably firsthand knowledge & experience). I dont want this to turn into a 10-22 vs everything else thread , as I will pick one of those up eventually.
Thanks in advance...will post pics after I decide.
