Welcome back to the Forum adas1223!

i like real wood and stamped steel

So far i have preordered a CM035a coming in next month.

Are you sure that you want to go with the CM-035A instead of the CM-045A?

I know that the CM-045A is out of stock at a lot of places, but it may be worth waiting for. More of the externals are stamped steel, it has some better internals, the build quality is really good for what it is, and it is a VFC clone which I have come to prefer immensely. On mine, it appears that I also have more space underneath the dust cover versus the TM clones that I have had. I say that because it may help/pertain to how much space you might need with your build.

Good luck and I look forward to seeing future updates,
Chow

I could be wrong, but since he pre-ordered it, I would assume that he got it off of Evike. Their CM-045A's were in the pre-order status for months and only came back in stock within the past few weeks. At the time that I am posting this, they are still currently in stock for $155 shipped with the "freeship" coupon code.
