I like the Echo 1 because Evike has a deal where you get 2 free magazines for your Echo 1 AEG. But, the JG is cheaper. Thoughts?

If you want to suggest a different M4 all together, my budget is about $170 (gun only). Evike.com is preferred.

I have a JG M4 and while i thought it was nice at first i quickly found myself wanting more then it could give stock. Haven't had much experience with Echo 1 but two friends own one of their G36's and they're nice. The Stag is supposed to be pretty decent and would be my choice of the two. However i'd also look into Combat Machine, their M4A1 runs about $140 and has G&G internals and a high torque motor stock. The body while still plastic, but is a lot more sturdy then what you get with the JG and probably the Echo 1.

KWA M4A1 FTW!!
But if that's out of your budget, I would definately suggest an Echo 1 hands down. much better QC than JG.

I highly recomend never getting a JG unless its the G36 line or their AUGs and ive heard good things about the i think this, http://www.airsoftpost.com/version-tacticalsystem-enhanced-lipoly-ready-gearbox-airsoft-rifle-special-desert-storm-edition-p-27778.html , but don't quote me on that, id definatly go with the echo 1.

yup echo 1 its more reliable to me

I'm also considering this one.

but does he want a full stock

a full stock gives space for a bigger battery. and I find that I never adjust my crane stock anyway, so why not?

Love the look of the Carbine!! I say
GO FOR IT!!
I might get a full stock for my KWA down the rode as well.

gotcha

Yeah, I liked the full stock look of the M4 too. Probably getting that one.

K good choice
