M4 vs 1301

[u/pooshlinger]

Both of these bad boys just went on sale and im thinking of giving up my Makasi pre order for one. Leaning towards the M4.
Help me decide.

Interesting, thanks for elaborating on that, appreciate it. Makes my choice a lot easier to be honest, nearly all the m4 reviews I’ve watched go on about how it’s as fast as you are so I appreciate an actual candid take on the matter.

Think I’ll pick up a 1301 next then, unless that damn makasi finds its way into my cart haha. Thanks again dude.

Also keep in mind that the bolt release button on the stock m4 is borderline unuseble, and modifying it requires drilling and tapping.

Not true, I have an extended bolt release that did not require drilling or tapping.

Let me rephrase that. If you want to modify the bolt release properly it needs to be drilled and tapped. Or you can get the janky metal strip thing.

GG&G makes a proper extended bolt release button that doesn’t require drilling and tapping; got mine last year from Aztech
