So it appears next month will be the E4 release date. Imagine we will see them on WGC shop etc. first. Will get an idea of the pricing if nothing else.

Cool. Been severely tempted to pick one up over the years. If nothing else the FAL offerings on the airsoft market are expanding, which is nice.

Understood. The L1A1 is an Ares model?

Could work for for a Rhodie FAL or a Lone Survivor style SPR. The parts that are frequently handled would possible wear, although that may add to the character. For a Wall hanger it might be an ideal prospect. Food for thought, all the same. If you do indulge, some feedback would be terrific. Torn between this and waiting to see how long LCT's version will take to get to market.

They also teased a HK21 on one of the Social Media channels. Sadly nothing came of it. Similarly LCT hinted it at a model in a YouTube video. Perhaps at some stage in the distant future? At least King Arms eventually restocked some of the FN line.

Fair point on both counts. Had a set of Brush stroke pattern BDUs in the past, notice one or two players would be slightly "heavy" on their trigger pulls when I played in it. It's a lovely pattern all the same. Also far more easily available these days than in the past. On the FAL front, will be curious as to whether the company expands their range... At the moment it seems to be only the one model.

I admire the dedication of those who pain their FNs in bush war colours, to be blunt the re-sale value will be obliterated. Also another webstore that I have seen the KA FAL pop up, in this time European so they are getting out there. https://www.safarasoftair.com/en/king-arms-fal-ver-2-full-metal-electric-gun

Will we see an airsoft M250 in due course?

It's a very impressive wall hanger anyway. Also seemingly I was wrong and Classic Army made an attempt at a MSG-90 in the past. The G3 doesn't get enough love, would agree with you. Quite a few of the battle rifles deserve better airsoft equivalents.

Nothing too exciting but seems a bit of progress on the East German AK front. Will be curious as to whether it is a standard model or a limited release? The latter might be similar to their wooden furniture G3s.

That's a very nice looking build. On the G3 front, surprised no company ever released a ready MSG-90.

From looking at the video it seems like this particular model has no carry handle, G1 style handguard and the imperial/L1A1 gas block. So a bit disappointing in some respects. Out of curiosity if you had to pick one between the VFC FAL and the G3? Which would you choose?

Short video on the re-release I came across on Youtube. Seems like the gearbox is a basic V3 with no mosfet. Will hang on to see if they release more models in the series. Judging by the recent LCT feedback thread, doubt we will see LCT's FAL this year.

Thanks for the thread. Good to see a manufacture doing things like this. Will the FAL series be released this year? Is it due after the M60 and MP5 launch? Thank you.

Seems like the E4 will be the first release. Hope the feedback is decent.

Was hoping we might see an IWI Arad replica or something like a Krytac Rec-10. Something to scratch that M4 itch with a suitable snowflake touch.

Probably something to do with what date today is.....

Varusteleka had a decent explainer on their website. The Bundeswehr system is a bit zany. Although I have seen stranger in the past. Portuguese surplus was an especially peculiar one. https://www.varusteleka.com/en/articles/bundeswehr-size-chart/358

Use the incident as an excuse to buy more optic related equipment. It would never have happened with an elaborate piggy back red dot set up.

Think it is airsoft lightweight. As in aluminum/alloy rather than steel. Roughly at the 3:55 mark.

Looks interesting, like that they have gone with a M4 style hop up unit. In the video he mentions they may release a scope mount. Would make an unusual DMR build choice.

If it does release in April, that's not a bad waiting time from the announcement. The foregrip wasn't great from past memories although it was fairly easy to replace with a surplus handguard. The folding stock model is the one I am interested in. As above, part of the appeal was the standardish gearbox parts. From having an Ares Tavor and VZ58 in the past, wouldn't be going back to the brand anytime soon. The LCT is a curious one. As Colin Allen pointed out, the magazines are a concern. Based on their previous record it will probably be a nice build than the KA model. The King Arms announcement boasting of their Nimh battery doesn't exactly fill me with confidence over them making improvements to the build quality or design. The disassembly between the two models would also be an interesting point to compare and contrast. The KA was a bit of a pig to take down. If the LCT was closer to the Classic Army FAL procedure it would be a point in it's favour. Will be keeping a close eye on feedback on the releases.

The seller is away for a couple of days but for lens protectors would recommend reddotengineering on eBay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/reddotengineering

That's great to see. They also have midcaps up for preorder, which is nice.

Seemingly at least one of the variants will be available in a light weight configuration. From the 2025 IWA show.
