Normally I would have pressed the button on the Ares, but my recent experiences with AK's have been very positive. A wooden one is very hard to turn down for an E&L for only 260 quid. Great performers out the box. It means I can have some bulk bbs, extra parts as well as an outside chance of grabbing a KA VSS, which in itself is very iconic. (Plus it means 5 of the 6 guys I am aligning myself with playing milsims have VSS's for ultimate VSS team). This is genuinely a hard choice. I am a bullpup guy, but my head has been turned and considering no viable AEG Groza exists... *Shrugs*

With the 1st of Jan rapidly approaching, importing rifles from the EU which are seldom seen here will be prohibitably expensive. I have been treating myself to cheap E&L's from Gunfire. An AKS74u and 74n side folder in the past few months. So with what money I have now I need to make a purchase of something that is both significantly cheaper and somewhat hard to get in this country. Something that I otherwise wouldn't buy otherwise. I do not NEED anymore rifles... But you know... I also want to order in the next few days as I want to make sure I can get it to clear customs well before the deadline (Can always have problems with BF, Christmas post etc) I have whittled it down to the following. E&L AKM Wood stock/guard, Zenitco parts for other Ak's etc. OR Ares WA2000 2020 Model. I know the Ares WA2000 is going to be heavy and not particularly usable, but it is a bullpup I don't have and it is VERY iconic. I can get one for under around 560 quid. Which is about 200 quid cheaper then in the UK. There is also a HPA option for it to extend its life and performance. The E&L would be a workhouse and fill the older school AK slot I just don't have. It is also less then half the price of the Ares and I can get some bulk bbs and Zenitco parts for the other AKs. I am leaning towards the AK as I have been so impressed with the quality, E&L's are available in UK easily but apart from the Nuprol blowout of the unpopular stock recently, the decent wooden versions are about a 1/3rd more expensive then on the continent. I know I will probably be disappointed with the Ares at least initially... But I just cant shake the idea of getting one for Urban sniping. A Mancraft HPA kit is available, though I have never used HPA and would be a large initial outlay. As Bullpup King (Trademark pending). Do I owe it to myself to own one despite its limitations and almost impossible to source parts? I just see the amount of people saying they were disappointed with theirs which gives me pause for thought (Though that's never stopped me from buying stuff that had bad reviews before, and eventually the problems were fixed or mitigated.) I probably wont use it often as I have so many rifles, but I would be skirmishing this. What do you guys think I should go for? What are you guys looking to import and are you having trouble deciding?

Because there is no difference in accuracy or range between 200mm and 450mm inner barrels.

The Latest Bullpup Pre-order. Its Not the Silverback Mdr.
Asomodai replied to Asomodai's topic in Latest News
Looking at the rear where the gearbox is, I reckon it would be more like the PDRC/SOC type, which is similar to the Tavor but with an angled motor. -

Just got an email back. Madbull sold the Keltec distro to EMG/Evike, so Redwolf will not be getting them in. -

Bb b b b but its M4 mags? 😛 I have sent an email to Redwolf to see if they are getting them in and what the price point is. -
https://www.evike.com/products/24449/ This one has come out of the blue. A Keltec RDB17 made in partnership with EMG and Ares. It's a shame its not the RFB DMR which I am more of aware of. I might hit up Redwolf UK and put in for a Pre-Order. Basically it seems like its going to be very similar internally to my Ares Soc-AR. EFCS, I imagine its the same V6 a-like gearbox with angled motor.

It's a scam until I have won something. Have entered a number of times and not won a sausage As bullpup KING my name should have been nailed on to the Ares DSR 1

Buy a proper smart charger. When you have finished your skirmish, once you get home, put all your lipos on storage charge. I have used the same lipos for 3 years with no issues.

I am pondering over a Gorka 1, which should be ok for Cold War if slightly implausible! I can use Gorka 1 for modern day MVD as well which is handy.

Got my new E&L AKS74U through the post. It's just as solid as the E&L 74N I got through last month. The stock is especially wobble free. Gunfire downgraded it a tad too much, but shouldn't be too much of a problem. Goes to my tech on Friday to be given the once over, the usual replacement barrel and bucking as I dont rate any stock ones.

One of those Double Eagles on TG probably fits the bill. Flat trigger and an option for binary trigger if you so desire. If the handguard isnt skeleton enough then you can easily buy something with the money saved. https://www.taiwangun.com/en/carbines-rifles/0,double-eagle#product-id:162816

I did think it was a wee bit far for people in Berkshire to run Battlelakes. Good to see it will be carrying on though.

Just paid outfit the Stan Adventure SRS and AEG barrel alignment tool. Need confirmation that I am sure the Fast hop is poorly made. -
It sold out immediately

Just noticed that AP have opened a new site (Or rather borrowed it from Delta Force Paintball). Its just around the corner from AP. The Halloween game will be held there for the inaugural game day. Looks fairly interesting to play. They plan to run it one Saturday and one Sunday a month.

I use a Fobus EM17 with my Strike Warrior. Its fits pretty well considering it's designed for a Glock.
