Meades93 Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 I've put getting an A&k M60 VN on the back burner for about 8 years now, but still in nearly all that time you rarely see them in stock anywhere in the UK. What's happened to all the stock? Have they been discontinued?
Asomodai Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Safarasoftair still has one. San Marino, but have ordered from them before and was pain free. https://en.safarasoftair.com/a-k-m60-electric-light-machine-gun
EDcase Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Thats not the VN one though. I found mine second hand and had to fix it up so keep looking at the sales sections here and elsewhere... EDIT: Here ya go... https://www.asiaairsoft.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=3870 £404 posted!!!!
BigStew Posted January 7, 2020 Posted January 7, 2020 Airsoft Manufactures are generally small companies with limited production capacity. The will build a batch of one type of gun they cycle through their other products. you can still get VNs out side of the UK.

Funny enough I skipped over a bunch of the MK43's on other sites because I knew they weren't VN's. A fair few Ares M60s still out there though?
Meades93 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 thanks for the replies. i may have to cast my net across seas to get one by looks of it. hardly a small thing to ship though ? id love to see an airsoft M16 LMG come out, or even a conversion kit to get that boxy handguard look

Ares are a lot more expensive like the LCT ones. 48 minutes ago, Meades93 said: thanks for the replies. i may have to cast my net across seas to get one by looks of it. hardly a small thing to ship though ? id love to see an airsoft M16 LMG come out, or even a conversion kit to get that boxy handguard look That link I posted is £404 WITH delivery. I don't think you'll find one cheaper than that...

Softairgames has one and they have never let me down. Probably worth the extra money for the Ares? You wont be paying VAT or import charges either.

That is a good price for an Ares but I don't see it in stock
Meades93 Posted January 8, 2020 Author Posted January 8, 2020 the ares is the wrong model. i want the unwieldly near on unskirmishable hunk of the VN ? so will most likely go A&K but ill definitley look into the sites given as both look good alternatives

(I haven't done a full day with it ?) I doubt you'll find one cheaper than £400 new as above. Otherwise keep looking for second hand or boneyard.

I think they might be drop shippers. It says Mk43 in the title but with the M60 photo! Ha. Go with the one from Asia!
