Well i bought some stuff from Evike

Here as Follows

CA M15A4 Carbine Package
.2G BB's
WE Tech M1911 I heard some good reviews so i decided to try it out
Green Gas
4x20 Scope for AR-15
STAR M16 Mags

Well its been 3 years since i last bought an AEG. What do you guys think?

nice..good choice.my buddy has the same aeg and he loves it.

I only chose that one because I like shorter guns heh.

Edit- i read in the other post that Evike charges tax no they dont cause i wasnt charged any.

ugh... then i guess evike just hates me. because they were going to charge me tax when i was going to order my gun

It's a birdman tax; I thought you were used to getting charged it by now

ugh. the price i have to pay to be me

it is possible they took off the tax cause i called them today, they told me that tax for all other 49 was taken off but california... Maybe you should try again?

don't have anything to buy yet. but ill keep that in mind. and on a side note, the spelling thingy you put on here is pretty cool adam

like i mentioned before. they only have a physical brick-mortar store in the state of california hence they have to charge california buyers and CAN'T tax out of state buyers. it's online marketing that some politicians want changed so they can have more money.

birdman did it actually say a tax amount on the final invoice of your order? or was it just the footnote that "some states may be taxed" on their product pages?

it gave me a final tax price of like 24 something dollars plus the cost of the gun. maybe when i placed my order is when they were overhauling their site, and they didn't have all the bugs fixed yet

It is possible as you can see now, their site is different especially checkout system.

its completely different. it use to be blue now its black. and the navigation is flat out different too

are those star mags metal?
their current layout is a hell of a lot better than it was before.
birdman, if you do decide to order and the tax still shows up just call them up and they should charge it back to you.

GR, I had star mags for my AK a while ago. They're plastic, but they can take a serious beating. We USED to play in the rubble of a demo'd building (it was demolished decades ago) and I would just drop mags when I reloaded and pick them up later. Once I dropped a loaded mag, didn't notice until the next game where I found it, popped it in my gun, and started shooting again.

They're really, really good mags. I just wish they made midcaps for my AK, too.

Yes STAR is a very good mag company, especially for mil-sim as you can see they make real cap mags.

Actually Star does make AK mid-caps that hold 105 rounds.

And various other ones from 70-160 rounds.

So has your stuff arrived from evike yet?? Also I was wondering how they go about applying the orange tip to the M15 style CA guns. They don't do anything stupid like paint the flash hider and then glue it so it can't be removed do they? Also, they don't remove trademarks I hope. Please let me know because I think I'm going to order my gun package from there.

It's only been 2days. Unless he paid quite a fortune for overnight delivery it wouldn't be at his doorstep till next week. The free shipping is usually ground so it's about a week (give/take a day or 2) til you get your stuff.

CA has Armalite's license so CA always has trade on their M15s. TM doesn't have Colt's license that's why their trades are burned off/puttied over. I don't know if the other companies have licenses but some MBKs have come with Colt trades as well as other trades. CA guns don't have glued on flash hiders. It's screwed on and locked with a set screw.

Cool, thanks for the info. Let me know how your stuff looks when it gets here Michealv.

i like star mags cuz theyre cheap. but thats what they are cheap. i dropped one at OP TakeDown and can no longer use it. but dont care cuz i have 37 or so other ones. i dont recommend doing what the guy above did.
