SO M249 Saw kits

[ilerman]

Hey guys,

I'm pretty new to the forum and have been looking at my options for stocks and body kits and the like. I was looking around on SpecOps yesterday and came across the M249 Saw and A5a2 foregrip kit. It costs about 30$, but the individual components for the kit(stock and foregrip) costs nearly 100$ when purchased separately. Does anyone know why the drastic cost difference? Is it a difference in materials or quality...These parts are not the gas thru variants, but just the standard versions. I was thinking of going with this kit but want to make sure I'm getting something thats has some quality workmanship...

Thanks

Donnie

links would help. The only different is the airlines, fittings and hose if I remember correctly. Same stock though.

Here are the links of the products in question...

A5A2 EZ Foregrip
SPECIAL OPS - A-5A2 FOREGRIP (EZ AIR-THRU)

A5 M249 Stock
TIPP/SO - A-5 M249 SAW STOCK

And here is what is confusing...the two together for less than half the price??
SPECIAL OPS - A-5 SAW EZ KIT

Maybe they listed the stock under the air-thru price by mistake. There was a saw kit for a little over 100, but it was the air-thru stock.

One of those stocks is a Tippmann/ Spec Ops stock. Apparently its a different composition, more like the real steel SAW stock vice the usual hollow pb stock. Nothing wrong with the cheaper stock. Get the kit and save $$. CLoser look at the kit, the foregrip is a bettter design, hides the tombstone adapter.

Well, I decided to purchase it anyway because I'll be playing this Saturday. I'll let you know how it turns out...
