Still, I trust ICS and I know they will come through. Unlike matrix.

By 8mm gearbox, they mean it takes 8mm bushings. Which is a good thing. It does not fire 8mm bbs.

Not to burst your bubble or anything, but I was in the local airsoft store again recently talking to the owner who has info on ICS's releases and he says that realistically, the Grease Gun will be out by Christmas and the Garand out by next summer. I wouldn't get my hopes up about the M3 this early. I like the $180 price tag though.

Evike I can't stand, ICS probably doesn't even know that they put up a preorder for the gun. And $180... is it made out of plastic?

I have a bad feeling about this... BUT if this is the real deal then that means two things: 1] Grease Guns might be as popular as Thompsons in airsoft skirmishes which is good so that when you look at pics of WWII events then you'll see a team holding more than one type of gun. 2] This being the more important to me: The ICS M1 Garand might be put up for around the same price which is great news if that is really the price for the Grease Gun I'd estimate the m1 will be 250 to 300!

Pre order from Evike huh... I am pretty sure I saw a pre order on Evike once for a unicorn...
Don't order from Evike. For sure NEVER pre order from them. They take your money and will send you a product... someday. Maybe.
No thanks.

Confirmation from ICS that the M3 Grease Gun has been released for sale: www.facebook.com/#!/ICSairsoftgun/posts/233458760030725?notif_t=feed_comment ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D However, I still would not Pre-Order from Evike ... or any other Airsoft Retailer, as they do not control distribution.

The only retailers I've NEVER had problems with are RedWolf, and eHobby, and I would never pre-order form them either.

The pre-order only saves 10 bucks. Thats roughly 5.5% off the retail price, off the top o' my head.
Considering this is the first run, im kinda hesitant about pre-ordering. No telling what kind of quirks or bugs may be present. Since it's ICS, it might not be THAT bad, but I see little to gain from doing so.

280 according to RedWolf HereAh, sorry friend ... that is a link to the ARES M3 ... which as you stated correctly does shoot 280 FPS. The ICS M3, I believe, shoots around 300 FPS. Best to you, WhiteRook

Bah sorry. I searched their website, and the link actually said ICS. My fault for not checking the actual page.
Cheers.

I AM SUCH A SLUT!!! I found a 15% discount code on EVIKE ... so I went ahead and PRE-ORDERED the ICS M3 Grease Gun ... I got the gun for $153 ... not including shipping ;D I am sooo ashamed of myself ... oh well, I let you guys know what happens.
