Well, that was unanimous. Surefire it is. I thought for sure the m3x would get at least one vote. Why no one like the m3x? To be honest, I like both, but I figured the m3x bein more clone correct would've been most ppls choice. Then again most everyone here is SF biased.

The most important part of cloning is over paying for things so you can impress people on forums and Facebook!

I guess I shouldn't complain, I bought my first two SF 4P's for $85.00 each sold one for $175.00 and the second one for $275.00?. I also paid $300.00 for my WMX2000 and sold it for like $850.00.

Oh shit I forgot all about those! I think I still have some of those laying around! I ended up swapping out to real KAC taupe sights because I started shooting iron sights for 2-gun matches.

I think it's less about overpaying, and more about trying to get as close to the real parts as possible. To each their own, I just wouldn't feel comfortable putting essentially toy parts on a rifle. Which, I'm sure is why you swapped the air soft 99051 for a real one. They just don't hold up to recoil like the real parts do. Kudos on the good deals you got, I suppose.

It's not a terrible deal.  The rail alone is like 400 bucks.  Colt keyhole upper is 150 easily.  DD 10.3 barrel is 225ish.  nt4 mount is roughly 80 or so.  Also comes with gas block and gas tube, prob 60 bucks easy.

It's in the ballpark. Depends on if you attach extra value to the C stamped upper versus cage code upper, and how much you value the extra time/hassle it'd take to possibly assemble it for a little less with mostly new parts.

They're currently charging $450 for a Colt 10.3" barrel assembly. Or is that what you meant?

Don't forget it comes with their "reliability package"! You get to pay $200 extra for them to give you an oversized gas port, lol.

There weren't 10.3" factory barrels with FSBs about 5 years ago that were Colts. I ended up paying like $600 for the SAW one. These other few vendors who have gotten factory barrels are nice, but not something that was always around.

I also had chopped 10.3" barrels when I bought my SAW one, but I wanted to have one for the hell of it.

Sure, there was a time SAW had a virtual monopoly - they were one of the few sources for Colt parts years ago. I remember when hitting the SAW booth at the gun show was something I looked forward to, probably 20+ years ago. Funny enough, their prices didn't seem particularly outrageous back then. On the other hand, you were just happy you could find some legit Colt parts, and there wasn't a whole lot of price comparison shopping going on, heh.

Problem is, times have changed and SAW is still acting like they're the only game in town. I guess they don't care to be competitive (and I don't think parts sales are really a major portion of their business); still, price gouging is price gouging.
