Evike Presale?

Hey everyone, I'm interested in buying the echo 1 g36c from evike so i can get the two free mags with it, but evike says it won't be in stock until April 10th. I need to know if I will actually get it sometime around then or however long shipping takes, because I saw that the g36k was supposed to come in yesterday, but now the date has been pushed back to sometime in may. Will this happen for the g36c and will I have to wait longer to receive it?

they will send it after they get it in stock, the date is generally when they actually get the merchandise in stock, but i assume they will send it out either same day or next day. if the date has been pushed back that means your delivery will be pushed back as well. as they have yet to receive the requested units from their supplier

Ok, but if they haven't pushed the date back yet will it still be shipped around the date evike has set for the gun?

if the date isn't pushed back then you should expect to receive your package within 2-5 days after the date

ok thanks a lot man

I don't recommend using the Evike pre-orders. Everyone I've talked to gets their date pushed back again and again and eventually cancels the order.. I haven't ordered from Evike though.

I pre-ordered my current gun from Evike. They pushed back the date for two months before they finally got mine to me. In my case though, I'm glad they did, because I ended up getting this year's model instead of last year's, so it has better internals. I've had other issues with them though. I wouldn't order something from them if I could avoid it.

well if you think about it, if everyone orders something they don't have in stock yet, first there is the wait, and then their is only so much that they receive from their supplier, so they can only send out so many at the given date of arrival/release. so there is a possible of a pushback or there is a possibility you will be one of the people to receive the first batch of pre-orders before they have to order from their supplier again

ok, yea i guess i wont get the g36c. does anyone have reccomendations for a gun that IS in stock?

just post up what you would like to get and then we can give you the thumbs up or thumbs down or explain the guidlines of what you want to get
for example:
i would like an mp5 with a decent ROF, FPS, a collapsable stock is a must, it must be versatile, and of course price
- oh ok, how about the JG mp5a4?

well i would like something that is smaller/compact, but still has decent range. im trying to decided between the echo 1 mp5 or echo 1 m4

if ya get the master series the ris wobbles, I heard nothing but good on the m4,

my JG mp5 works great, and the echo 1 m4's are very awesome from what i have heard
smaller compact would basically mean an mp5, so i think that would be your best bet , and as white wolf said the ris on mp5s is weird, so i would recommend just getting a regular JG or echo1 mp5

ok cool, so do the mp5s still have decent range though?

Should be. Worst case you can throw in a longer barrel and mock surpressor.

One to look at would be the Cyma M14 (the SOCOM series one). Its stubby, but has decent performance.

Buddy owns one, likes it alot. LOTS of room in the stock for batteries.

Ok thanks a ton. For the m14, i currently have a spring one and im not too big of a fan of it, mostly because im a smaller guy and i like to be mobile when play. I appreciate the suggestion though

Also, here is the mp5 im going to get:

If anyone has reasons not to buy it speak now or forever yada yada yada...

anyone?

Sorry, let me get Mike in on this topic. He owns/owned an Echo1 Mp5.

Hm i;m not too big of a fan of Evike anymore. Back in December I ordered some MultiCam Camo wrap off them and still have not recieved without getting any e-mails.

Try emailing them? If you need help contacting them, let me know.

BTW: is that you in your profile picture? If so, that helmet/mask rig is a beauty. Do share!

I actually have both echo 1s mp5 and m4.
To be honest, I sort of don't like them.
But it could be me, I mean, both guns are broken, but i've had em for a while.
The MP5, the one i have is the vector arms MP5A4.
The large battery is a hassle, and now the selector switch is broken, it shoots at full auto now only, and can only use large batterys, pain in the ass, no longer use it, and fixing it is a pain in the ass because it requires the smallest parts to open up.
And even still, its an mp5, its hard to fix.

The M4 was okay. It's flash hider is impossible to take off.
And mine had a manufactured dent to prevent me from putting a inner barrel extension.
My gun now shoots two bbs at once, bb's come out of the barrel, and its motor is scratchy no matter what.

Edit: I would invest in something else, a higher end brand?
That's all i'm going to say.

ok thanks for the info. the problem is i can't spend more money than this. so which would you say is better?

I'd say m4,
if it breaks, to fix it will be easy.

looks good to me, since basically my JG is exactly the same, you might want to get an extra mag with it too, because i found my 200 round high cap running out fast =D

I have a suggestion for an m4. G&G i love my G&G m4 its got decent range, fps is 355 so if you are in a cqb field its good for that, and its got the stock thingy that can slide out.
