Hi ! I plan to purchase an ICS gun for classified but I was stuck can't find the generation of ICS M4 that the guy post on sale, either him doesn't know as well. So I need everyone's help.

There are like a few generation of ICS M4 that I have seen so far which are :

'03 - '05 is Dark Grey DPMS or Dark Gray Olympic Arms Receiver
'05 - early 07' is Dark Grey Olympic Arms or ICS Receiver
Late '06 - 08' is Black Olympic Arms or ICS Receiver

From I what I knew is the latest version of ICS M4 is black receiver with only Olympic Arm or ICS Receiver trade mark.

The ICS M4 that I plan to buy has the black receiver which is identify the latest version but the trade mark is DPMS Panter Arms which is only available for version 03 - 05 only. So I'm not sure what version is that gun ?

So could anybody help me to clear this out ? Many Thanks.

Don't tell me to check the Motor because I knew that old version using ICS Turbo 2000 and new version is using ICS Turbo 3000, but I want you to identify the gun before I commitment to buy and plus seller is noob and not sure how to open and check it out also I don't want him to mess up as well. Thanks again.

Cheers !

ICS trades came in from the US mainly, and were from 2004-2005. These had the Turbo 2000 motor, plastic bushings.

In 2006, they released their latest version, with Turbo 3000 motor, steel bushings. These came in with Colt trades and were primarily from Asia.

Olympic Arms Car 97 was available from 2004 up well into 2006 and perhaps even later.

The 2006 Colt receivers wree a darker grey than the ICS or OlyArms.

I never saw a DPMS ICS receiver, but then again I haven't seen a brand new ICS M4 since 2007, other than the clear ones.


This gun:

It is a 2006+ Generation (you can also tell by the box), so it will have the Turbo 3000, steel bushings, etc.
