1st commando

Lots of UK shops have placed pre orders for the M249. The HK53 on the other hand might take a while as it's umarex so has to go through their channels in UK and Europe

Not as yet but the carrier is set up ready for it so never say never

People do know why The Ak issue is because LCT no longer supply the AK kits so they are bought from China The M4 is because the mold for the normal cast M4 reciever is worn out

Yeah the Steel version should follow in the next couple of months

They seem to be using an M249 type gearbox so you will not be able to drop in a V2 and tbh the M249 gearbox design is better for sustained fire

There will not be another "release date"as such it's just another production run. They are expected back into UK stock in the next couple of weeks depending on shipment clearance etc

I still have one of the original batch from 2008 . King arms have been promising a re-release every year since

retailers have pre ordered so have no idea why they haven't put pre orders up yet . It might be just a bit early for them with changing exchange rates etc They are not due until after summer

It's worth noting this isn't silverbacks first AEG . They made a PP19 long before they got into spring rifles

I think it's one of the weird obscure rifles from India or Korea etc with some dubious modifications . I'm more concerned about him pointing it at his mate's head

Many of those old products simply aren't made anymore . TM still do quite a few of the old series but with current Japanese pricing and shipping they are really not worth the money. CA still do some of the older models but very few people carry them now G&P stopped doing almost all of the proper replicas and decent models in favour of doing made up shit . The Stoners series is about the best you can get from G&P now

Retailers are only just now about to be offered pre orders so wait a week or so.

3p was like an early cybergun . Mostly cheap tat with some KHC thrown in. Nothing at all to do with E&L and it pre dates the chinasoft outbreak

Yeah sadly they took over the meme of vaporware from real sword once RS finally got exposed

They have been saying that at shows every year for the past 10

Several so far . Once the pre orders start going up i'll publish the list

UK Retailers are going to be given a pre order option for the M249 and I know of at least one that has already asked for them. Not to be released until Q3 2023 though

Even a lot of TM parts were made in China. With noting however that Taiwanese made brands are more often than not actually manufactured and assembled in Taiwan. Hong Kong brands are usually only assembled in Hong Kong from parts made in either Taiwan or mainland China

did you post on the wrong thread ? lol

in fairness the AUG is awesome

GHK don't make one

High pressure Airsoft have a few now

There are some steps you need to go through before you can buy anything . I suggest slowing down ,do some reading and research so that you don't waste your cash or get in trouble

Inokatsu and RaTech also made full steel ones . Inok stared around £800 and RATECH around £1300

you realise that most of that "Japanese quality" was produced in china and shipped to Japan for assembly ? haha Also TM plastic is actually really poor quality from a material standpoint . However they handle the gas pressures designed for in Japan very very well indeed and TM QC is usually very good . Although there are exceptions
