LCT teasing a FAL

[DerDer]

My king arms fal is with negative airsoft as we speak.. ? I agree with the mags tho I’ve been searching for ages! Neg is going to covert rs fal mags into mid caps for me! ? 

Hopefully we get an entertaining video out of it. Would be too convenient for the brands to be cross compatible.

I had to do the same with my king arms L1A1. 

 

[ButcherBill]

Not to brag or anything but I got mags for my Ares L1A1 easily enough. (shame it's too hot for my local site tho)

Too hot to DMR it ???????

 

[ButcherBill]

Too hot to DMR it ???????

Yeah, unless it's a bolt action it's max 360fps, 1.2j

Last time I crono'd it it was 434fps, 1.85j

p.s. it's a single shot.

When i ran my 553 on CO2 without the NPAS it was sending .40s @ 467fps. A little over 4j! ?

This is the FAL (SA58) i'm waiting for:

From VFC, due in Feb.

(Needs a proper handguard and a long FAL flash hider.)

I hope so

I fitted the hop rubber into that rif that’s with Neg, and I had a cnut of a time getting the bloody thing back together ?

That's quite a low limit for a dmr option I think, do the laws on fps differ north of the border ?

 

[ButcherBill]

No, it's a site rule, bolt only 485fps, 2.2j. Everything else 360/1.2

 

[Austeyr]

No, it's a site rule, bolt only 485fps, 2.2j. Everything else 360/1.2

Man... That's such a shame... I'll take it off your hands, I'll even pay postage for it... ?

 

[ButcherBill]

To be fair, getting to my local site is problematic due to my schedules & I've recently thought about trying Area66 as they have games on my weekends off, I'm likely going to use my usual Scar-H or XM177 GBBR's or plan B which would be my L85A2 or mk18 AEG's, would be nice to have the option of using my SLR as it was my first one in my current collection(a gateway pew) or even some others that would be above 360fps with anything heavier than a .2

Just checked, there are very few of my toys that I couldn't use at POW but less at Area66 if I did fancy a change.

I'll take it off your hands, I'll even pay postage for it... ?

As we say North of the border...

Eh, Naw!

Small teaser photo from LCT for the IWA 2025 show. That's all on the FN FAL front, they have a similar one for a MP5.

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.

Ooh!  A 74K!!!!!!!  That would be a nice addition to my NVA collection.  The only aspect of these that concerns me is the pistol grip, which they appear to have recreated accurately; if that is the case, it might be that only their slim motors will fit.

Good catch on that. If it's the case will make it awkward from a performance standpoint.

Also we seem to have a release date. Take it with a grain of salt, often ends up a month or two later before it's actually available. Still seems like it's this year, at least.

Actually no that’s wrong.  Bolt action, semi auto, single shot or revolvers can all be over 1.2j legally.  It is only full auto capable that is set at that limit by the law.  However most sites will either restrict everything over 1,2j to a rate of fire / minimum range limit or just not allow them.  This has just been discussed on another thread on here.

As for the new LCT’s shame they will most likely be beautiful looking pieces with crap tolerances and internals.

That was referring to the site rules, not the legality of airsoft ownership.

 

[DerDer]

Seems like the next release after the East German AK, will be the PKM. Imagine the price and weight will be significant.

They might show off some of their other upcoming releases at this month's MOA show.  The PKM will be there.

Gonna be £1.6k minimum I bet

Think you might be quite close with that estimate. Expect it's RRP to be higher than the RPD and SVD. Assume they will do a polymer furniture model too.

They could use very similar parts to the PKP.
