Imagine it will be an impressive price. Speaking of newer guns, surprised it's taking the various manufacturers so long to bring out a MCX Spear.

Nice to see the G36 get a tune up. Hopefully they will do similar to the K model.

Might be waiting a while. Think he burnt his smock.

Will be interested to see what kind of gearbox arrangement they have in these. Hopefully the wait between a shell ejector and a skirmishable model isn't as long as the K98K.

Fair play for originality. Suggestion would be a pair of boots.

That's an improvement on the last show they had a stand at (MOA perhaps?), where they only had one FN type replica. Here's hoping this is the year.

That makes sense. Glad they decide to revisit some of their old range. Makes the possibility of a X95 Tavor greater than zero.

Interesting choice on their part. Think they had a WA 2000 springer in the past.

Would add a +1 to the PTS. Cheaper mags can be a limiting factor if they won't reliably feed heavier than 0.28g.

The last time I ordered something from Brownells, it just arrived. Didn't get a dispatch notice. Took about two weeks.

Perhaps take out one of the other allen screws and measure it? Use something like a ruler to get the dimensions, if you don't have the use of a callipers.

From what I remember, Jefftron have a UK stockist. Perhaps try giving them a email? Might be able to get a set for you. https://www.socomtactical.net/

Think there was a Maxx model. No experience with it. Something like this: https://www.begadi.com/tuning-internals/aeg-rifles/hopup-units-systeme/maxx-model-g36-cnc-alu-hopup-unit-fuer-s-t-ares-versionen-gst.html

Would be handy if they were useable with one another, given how scarce they are. Similar to loaning an AKM magazine to a AK74 user. Not true to the real ones but convenient in a pinch.

Have a stockpile of G&G 0.28g which I plan on using for support gun in the future. Have also used Azimuth BBs, with good results. Although they seem to be a thing of the past. Have a few bags of Bushido which I plan on using at some stage this year. Also have a few bags of Geoffs 0.32g. Will eventually find something to feed them to. Unfortunately some magazines don't feed reliably with heavier BBs. Okay if you can use PTS midcaps, less so if it's a unicorn gun.

A thorough cleaning of the selector plater with isopropyl alcohol. Then a dab of superglue. Worked for me for Titans and Asters in the past. Can be very irritating indeed.

Yep, from what I remember the KA L1A1 and FAL series can't use each others magazines. Bit annoying at times.

Fire support still have the L1A1 hicaps in stock. Greek airsoft still have the FAL bipod available. So will 2024 be the year that King Arms finally deliver?

That's very annoying. Unfortunately the occasional airsoft project is a write-off.

Did you leave it long enough? Last time I had a particularly difficult to remove flash hider. Left it in boiled water for about ten minutes Then used an oven glove to remove it.

Would strongly recommend the TM m4 style speedloader. The smaller pistol style would seem relatively forgiving, had the cheaper ones work no problem. No so much with the larger type. Also tragically some of the more eccentric designs have been discontinued. Such as the "eagle" loader, which came complete with veins.

They had some peculiar relationship between Raptor/TWI/lambda defense if I recall correctly. Wouldn't be surprised if they axed the Raptor sub brand. As mentioned above their grach and some offerings left a lot to be desired. Imagine the Western style Aegs might be more lucrative. Snow wolf had a SV98 at one point, might be an avenue worth exploring?

The last time I had to use a stock pot filled with recently boiled water. Took about ten minutes of soaking. Also quite a few goes with a wrench. Whoever put the threadlock on it was very generous. Something like certain M4s are very easy to remove the front end and separate the outer barrel from the rest. Imagine the Scorpion will not be a similar case. Take your time and try not to get frustrated. Easier said than done admittedly. Good luck with it.

Fair point. Will give Ares credit for keeping the L1A1 on the market. Something King Arms could learn from...

Gotcha, misunderstood. Could try emailing fire support or patrol base to see if they could order something in?
