Showy is part of the Marketing Department so she does not normally deal with private sale to individuals, she may have past your request on but if they did not get back to you she may have forgotten, if your still interested in RS aeg/products send them another email, this is the email that I have got the best results with [email protected] and if Helen gets back you then you should be OK she normally very good takes some time with Correspondance but that's down to the different time zones GMT-HKST.

No problem let us know how it goes with Real Sword and good luck with whatever AK/variant you chose and let us known what AK you do choose it will be interesting to know what you went for in the end.

Was looking for an AK to actually get my mitts on and was ever so excited to find an E&L AKM platinum at Fubar Bundy, just down the M62 from me.
Checked it was in stock on the website and off I went!
Got into the store and had a quick look round - couldn't see it anywhere, so I asked.
No, we haven't got that in stock. I said - it's in stock on your website.
The reply - it shouldn't be!
I wasn't impressed, as I'd moved heaven and earth with wife and kids to be able to sneak out.
However, it's entirely my own fault, as I believed the website. I figured, if I could buy it online, I can see it in the shop.
Had I phoned, I'd have known not to go.
My search continues.......

The most important thing you’ll ever learn when it come to airsoft shops. In stock doesn’t necessarily mean in stock ?

Are there no players at your local site that have the AKs / Manufactures you are interested in and will let you have look at one and possibly test it?

You must be psychic!
i'm just writing a post on my local's FB page to ask that exact thing ?

Hopefully, that course of action will bear some fruit and it should hopefully be easier talking about the AK face to face with someone and the rifle in your hand.

Quite frankly if 99% of retailers ‘in stock’ systems told me my arse was on fire I wouldn’t believe them until I smelt smoke ! ?‍

Back onto AK's.... I need to find one to get my hands on. It's between the LCT and E&L.
I thought Firesupport had both, but unfortunately they don't - dos anyone know anywhere that carries both? ( And is vaguely North?)....

Nope Fire Support are a reseller for LCT only.  TBH you will struggle to find E&L in store in this country.  Just go for the LCT mate, you wont regret it.  In fact, I am buying one at the end of the month as well.....

They stock E&L as well.

Just not  in stock! They said they could get me one....

 

[EvilMonkee]

Dude, seriously, they dont stock E&L.  They are my local shop I am in there every week and they have never ever had E&Ls.  They may be able to order one in but I wouldn't hold your breath.

[SIZE=12pt]That was in stock when I set off.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]When I got there, they said they'd sold it on finance.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=12pt]Steve said he could order one in if I wanted one.[/SIZE]

Um, we are talking at cross purposes, I thought you said Fire Support could order you one.  I know nothing about Fubar Bundy.  TBH, it looks like your heart is set on an E&L - try Airsoft Entrepot in France - best price you will find for them.  Alternatively, I think Daves Custom Airsoft have some - but you will pay twice what you would for an LCT AKM and its not worth it.

Or if you feel like a wait airsofttiger111hk have Gen 1 E&L and occasionally they can be had for as little as £185.  Not incl Customs and postage....might be worth an email.

I'm sorry, today crossed wires and entirely my fault!

I need more sleep or caffeine.

Or both.

I can't buy either until I've held them. I need to see if it gives me "that feeling" ? 

 

[EvilMonkee]

Like I said earlier - much of a muchness.  I favour the LCT cos its just bog standard V3.  Can't go wrong with either tbh.  Good luck with the hunt.

You seen this BTW?  Decent price if it is a Gen 2

 

[E21A]

I’ve just got myself an LCT AKM, I’m blown away by the external quality! Will report back after the weekend on how it shoots! 

 

[EvilMonkee]

From Fire Support I presume?  Getting mine at payday, but as you can probably tell I have enough Aks already....

Yea. They didn’t have metal hi caps in stock when I ordered though, 2 days later they do ? Just my luck.
