Nice gun. The orange can stay, because it's not a full orange plastic flashider, instead it's a metal one with orange painted on it. Not hideous looking to me like the Big Vibrant plastic orange f.h. . Though, if you want, remove the orange off.
Very funny Knief, I have not heard anything about ICS's M4/M16 newest line. The Mp5 Series is what I have heard all the crap from.

The orange will stand out in the woods, especially to people who are on your flanks. And those are the last people who you want to see you. Ditch the orange. It's a metal flash hider, so you can just use nail polish remover and not have to worry about marring or melting any plastic finish.
As for the ICS Olympic Arms CAR-97, three people on GK own them and three people on GK have had terrible problems with them. I have yet to hear one good report of this ICS line regarding long term durability, but I have heard a ton of bad reports regarding their long term durability. Just search MiA and you'll find them. Honestly Andrew, if you haven't seen them, you must not be paying any attention to the info coming out on this ICS line. I almost bought one, but didn't due to lack of funds and (at the time) no reports of long term durability. Now that the bad reports have streamed in, I'm glad I didn't have the money to throw away on an ICS CAR-97.

Hmmm, coulda sworn the ICS M4 line was alright. I almost threw my money away on an ICS Mp5 V3. Ohwell. Hope that the M4 lasts and now that Knief has pointed out the woods thing, ditch the orange  . (It's late at night, I am tired, sorry)  . |

Yeah i have only had it for a couple of weeks and havn't actually played any games, so i will be taking it off. As for their duribility, i don't know. I have put 1500 rounds through with no problems, but long term, I don't know.

If you don't want to get shot by the cops, don't play where people can see you.
As for an orange flash hider, do you think the cops won't shoot you if you have it on? Criminals have painted the tips of their guns orange to try to pass them off as toys. Cops know this. Your whole gun could be orange and the officer will still assume that it's a real gun.

I like knief's response to those kids "You're a bunch of fucking idiots."
Anyways, do not buy an orange flashhider. They will not help you in any way if they police do show up, all they do is make you stand out more.
