On closer inspection, you are correct. Mixed up the MK43 with an E6. Out of the four models, the E3 is the standout. Would be great to see one on the skirmish field. Imagine Lambda defence is tied up with their new B&T Smgs and GPMG series. Still if the LCT gets a bit of traction, they might end up releasing a conversion kit. If I was coughing up the big bucks, a LCT based model might be preferable to an A&K model. Time will tell.

Imagine it will be a similar price to their older line, as you mentioned. Fire support have it listed as £1349. Could see them charging similar again. The Bullgear PKM hop up unit was compatible with some M60 models. So if the hop up unit is dreck, that's another option. The company teased a HK21 in the past but imagine the M60 would be a better seller. Will be disappointed when LCT display a teaser and then bring to market an AEG, faster than King Arms and their FN FAL re-release. Still will give the Taiwanese company credit, a higher quality M60 would be a nice alternative to A&K offerings. Also a M60E3 would be an expensive but more readily available alternative to the Inokatsu of years gone by.

Was recently looking at LCT's facebook page. At the end of the calendar preview, they would seem to have a promotion for a M60 series. Including the Vietnam "pig", as well as a few more contemporary models. One looks like the Danish E6. Only a screen grab, imagine we will get more info later. Possibly the MOA show? The company had a classic M60 in the past albeit a limited production one.

There's an expensive Kydex option. Will take a while but retention is usually good. https://www.kydexcustomsuk.com/collections/rifle-magazine-carriers/products/ares-striker-mag-carrier

It's an obvious step. They have the experience with Gas replica from their pistol series, together with past production of the Vector Aegs. Part of me is disappointed they didn't start cranking out FN replicas, after their P90. A Krytac FN FAL or Five-Seven would have been a nice development.

The Kydex holsters are very nice. Just to give an alternative source, Kydex customs are also a good choice. You will need to budget for a mount. https://www.kydexcustomsuk.com/collections/pro-series-holsters/products/pro-series-aap-01-holster

Is the screw on the selector tightened sufficiently? Here's a link to various causes of selector problems https://tacticalparts.com/blog/diagnosing-version-3-selector-switc/

G&G made a variant with a side scope mount. The build quality is probably quite dated for the cost. This model: https://www.guay2.com/en/product/detail-233

That lambda defence sure is something.

That person would have woken up at least once with a horse's head in the bed. Alternatively they would have moved onto an industry with more exacting and honest standards, something like homeopathy.

As per the DCA facebook page, barrel production is underway. Would certainly go for an aluminium one myself, as the guts of ten kilos would be enough to lug around.

The M9a1/M9 are lovely performing pistols. It is a pity TM haven't come out with a ready threaded variant similar to their HK 45 tactical. In fact an updated Tactical master with a threaded barrel would be swell.

Here's hoping they ship in October. Would be nice to get some feedback on their offering.

Even if they were Aegs, it would be a nice development. Would fill the hole of various Cold War Armalites that was left by G&P's departure.

Wish they would release an updated tactical master. Even with a front rail. Considering they have the M9, Samurai edge and a M9A1, with their newer GBB pistol system.

You're welcome. An extra option at the lower end of your length specifications but available in the UK. PDI 6.05 at 650mm length. https://www.outdoorandtactical.co.uk/product/pdi-aeg-650mm-6-05mm-tight-bore-inner-barrel-stainless

Mandatory not another M4 post. That out of the way, always nice to have more options in the mws line.

Xfire will do you one in 6.05 at 690mm length. Alternatively EDGI could make you one a custom length. https://e.x-fire.org/?product=6-05-inner-barrelaeg They also do them in 6.08. https://e.x-fire.org/?product=6-08-inner-barrelaeg If you're willling to cough up major cash and wait for 4-6 weeks, another option. https://ebog-designs.co.uk/products/edgi-custom-works-srs-inner-barrel-builder-1?variant=42038057402421

If you have it still disassembled, would do a thorough inspection for remnants of the piston. Bits of chewed up piston can make their way into the teeth of gears and various parts of the gearbox.

From their Facebook page, imagine we will see better pre-production photos as time goes on.

Have you tried a different battery? In case it's the battery that is dead.

That makes sense, degree of standardisation. For all their faults, it's a company willing to make some unicorn replicas.

That's an interesting set up. Reminds me of Ares with their tavor line. Can make upgrading or switching a bit more tricky. All the same might make a nice base for a DMR build.

Would probably start with an E&L AK. With LCT as a close second. Cyma would the cheap and cheerful option. Which particular variant of AK74 were you interested in? Scratch that, wrong info. Probably a GHK for a Gas AK.
