[WTS][TX] Echo 1 Red Star Covert Package

My closet's starting to feel cramped, so I gotta free up some room. This was my workhorse rifle for two years, and now it's time for it to fill primary/backup/loaner/PMC memegun duty for someone else.

No complaints performance-wise. Shoots around 370 FPS on .20s. I'm not confident enough to estimate the effective range; but whatever it is, it's plenty enough for field play. The rifle has been wired to deans and features an aftermarket RIS (the original, lighter railed foregrip is also included). It also boasts EBB action, the bolt moves back and forth as the gearbox cycles. A bit gimmicky, but it does add a nice metallic "clack" to every shot.

Externally, things aren't as great. I'm the third owner, and it shows. The previous owner wrapped electrical tape around the stock and pistol grip (if you prefer a tapeless surface, I'd be happy to remove it before shipping). The rear sight spring is weak, and needs to be shimmed with e-tape to keep the sight from slapping against the receiver when running. What e-tape won't fix is the sight height adjustment button, which was broken when I received it. If absolutely necessary, the sight elevation can be adjusted by shoving a screwdriver in there and moving the slider as normal. Finally, the stock has a slight amount of vertical slop in the extended position and the rear sling ring snapped off and has been replaced with paracord.

Includes

  • Glorified CM050A
  • Krebs-style lower RIS (mounted)
  • 8.4v 1600 mAH and 9.6v 1600 mAH batteries
  • Two long metal hicaps
  • Two short metal hicaps, because the short mag meme isn't limited to ARs
  • Free souvenir mud from scenic D14 in Sanger, TX

$150 shipped, $130 F2F (McKinney/Plano area)

NO TRADES

"But Crabman, I could get the base CYMA model new from 'X' store for the same price!"

You're absolutely correct, imaginary prospective purchaser! But I think that even with the external wear, the aftermarket rail, batteries, and magazines make this package a good value at the price. That said, if you think the price is unfair, you're more than welcome to make an offer. TL;DR - It's OBO

NOTE: I can partially break down the rifle for shipping in order to lower costs. Being a VFC clone, it's three screws and a single body pin. Instructions to reassemble the rifle will be provided. If you would like this done, please let me know.
