(I posted this on the RAP4 forum too)

It just arrived yesterday! I went with the Bravo version of the "Special Edition" model.

I'd previously had one of the early Gen5s (sold it to fund this purchase), and still have a pair of newer Milsigs. I also have a Tac8 and a custom mag-fed Autococker that uses the 20-round RAP4 T68 pistol mags - you could say I have a thing for mag-fed markers.

Right out of the ~~box~~ bubble-wrap, I was impressed with all of the improvements made to the Flexi-air stock and magazines since I bought my Gen5.

Mine came with one of the new metal magazines (I'm not sure if they all include this or if I was lucky or it was because RAP4 sponsors us). The new feed necks have 6 detente balls instead of the 3 in the older mags, and the new spring winder is MUCH more finger friendly- though I will have to modify my cordless screwdriver-powered winder to fit.

The Flexi-Air airthru M4 stock now has the stock position bar integrated into the remote line chamber, instead of separately bolted to the bottom of the ASA. Because of this, the whole stock assembly just screws into the rear ASA, and has a collar nut to lock it in the right position. This is much nicer than the old Flexi-Air setup. The only problem I'm having is figuring out how to get the black M4 stock off the remote line chamber so I can install my OD CAA stock. On the old Flexi-Air the assembly just kinda fell apart once you removed the quick-disconnect nipple. I'll post the trick once I figure it out.

When I installed my 300psi HPA M4 stock, I was pleased to find that the Flexi-Air ASA on the marker now has two larger bolt holes for attaching the stock position bar instead of the one small one on the Gen5. I had to go hunting for mounting screws though, since I'd ordered things separately.

Overall, the gun feels very solid and the finish is very nice. The paint is some sort of pebbly powder-coating that looks very durable. There were some wrinkles in it on the mag adapter, and a goopy-looking casting irregularity on the top rail by the charging handle, but nothing worrisome. The internals and assembly look to be good quality.

That's all for now. I will be test firing it this weekend.

With the SIR foregrip ad the 12ci HPA stock...

So many options...

The nice thing about the 6th over the 5th is that it is Spyder-based, so it's more compact, and looks more like an M4. It also has all-internal airlines to the rear ASA, so no hoses running to the buttstock. It also uses the same 18-round spring-fed magazines that the Gen5 and Milisg markers use.

I already had a ton of M4 accessories from my A5 and old T68, as you can see in the image below. I'm all set on reloading, too, with one black plastic RAP4 mag, 1 steel RAP4 mag, and 10 translucent root-beer colored Milisg mags that let me see how many rounds are left. I also already had the modified chest rig that holds 6 mags.
