Thanks for the replies guys
- glen, I was never a fan of RIS/RAS stuff, but I always wanted to put a narrow fore grip on one. I had a TM G3A3 way back when and liked the feel of the narrow grip, just not its size
- torpedo, where do you play? I'm originally form Ventura, used to play in Ventura, SB and Hillcrest? field at the 118 and 210. Despite all the shortcomings I still really like the series. All the guns I have had needed a little tweaking and repair here and there.
- Baltimore, I really like your HK 53. I was considering the CA 53 for a while, but the too short front end and the short barrel length turn me off. Yours looks much better proportioned, it isn't for sale is it? How is the KA3 and yours wired to the front? Do the wires go back through the gearbox or just around it? I would definitely switch to Deans plugs, I have a ton for RC planes and Tamiya plugs are annoying.
I figured the sliding stock for the KA3 is the same as the one for the MP5. I also like the look of the concave butt stock (G3A4). Do you have any pictures of your HK53 with the original CA33E front end? I would probably want to have that as an option too.
So far it seems the best thing to do would be to get a CA33E and buy aftermarket parts or buy a KA3 if the store has an extra front end or I can find one.
