Dboys M4 RASII
ORDERING: I ordered the gun from airsoftmegastore.com for $180 shipped. I ordered from there mainly because they were the only U.S. retailer who offered the gun with full trades. My package arrived in about a week via UPS, pretty much a standard waiting time for me. 
THE PACKAGE: The actual box is a one piece design and the styrofoam package is a two piece case that just slides out. The design on the box is pretty cool looking, but the styrofoam packaging seemed kind of weak. Nevertheless, the gun arrived in fine condition. 
The package includes the following: -The gun (obviously) -8.4v 1200maH battery and wall charger. -Fore-grip -One-point sling -Front sling mount -Small screw driver and allen wrench -Cleaning rod, manual, and crappy bbs.
LOOKS AND FEEL: 
First off this gun is beautiful. The pics don't do it nearly enough justice. The gun looks pretty much like your standard CQB M4 but with the noticeable difference of the unique rail system.The RAS is two pieces, top and bottom. The small rail that attaches to the upper receiver is part of the RAS and does not come apart from it. It's overall a very solid gun. Full metal receiver and rail system. 
There are awesome trademarks on both sides of the receiver and on the top and right side of the RAS.
Sorry for the quality, my camera gets blurry up close. 
No idea why they put the Marine logo on it, but it looks cool anyway. 

The battery is stored in the crane stock and goes in fine, but fits a little loosely.
There are only two problems I've had with this gun so far: the stock is a little flimsy and really doesn't feel built very well, unlike the rest of the gun. I plan on buying a new crane stock for it. The other problem (more of a complaint than an actual problem) is that there was a good deal of rust on the plate under the dust cover that covers the hop-up.
I was able to remove a little of the rust by just rubbing it with some sandpaper. 
I wasn't really concerned to much with this since that part has absolutely no effect on the gun other than cosmetics and I usually remove that part anyway just for convenience.
The gun comes with a flip-up back sight. The site is fully adjustable, but I really don't like it only because the peep-hole or whatever the technical name is for it is extremely small, and hard to uses for quick target acquisition. 
 The 300rd magazine is full metal and also has some trades. I have had no problems with feeding. 
Impossible to read... it says: RESTRICTED FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT/ GOVERNMENT USE ONLY 10-94 Heckler&koch Gmbh Heckler&Koch Inc. Made in Germany Sterling VA
I have no idea why there are H&K trades on it, since the gun is not H&K... but w/e.
The sling is actually very good quality and has worked very well. This is not the actual sling it came with, but the exact same model (notice the wear)... I had one before and just sold the one it came with. 
PERFORMANCE: For a $180 gun I was very impressed with this guns performance. Out of the box it is shooting very nice at around 370 Fps with .25g bbs. It gets tight groupings at around 120ft. and can easily hit a man sized target at 160ft.
I'll update this later with some target pics and whatnot.
Final thoughts: The Dboys RASII is really an amazing deal for what your getting. I'm very satisfied with my purchase and highly suggest it to any other player on a budget.
