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?

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.

Apologies. I was knackered when I posted that. 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?

Lol, easily done looking quickly.

Ares are a lot more expensive like the LCT ones.

That link I posted is £404 WITH delivery.  I don't think you'll find one cheaper than that...

From San Marino the Ares is 406 quid without shipping. Shipping is usually around 20 quid from there. 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.

Yep, same for me, had to be VN original ;)

It does weigh a lot so hard work. (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.

In Spain. Though I have never ordered from them. 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!
