ruskitseller Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 Oh dear, it seems I am late to the party, something tells me my "wanted TM Glock 17 Gen 5" post is doomed after reading all of this! 🤣 Oh well, I suppose I can always hold out in hope. I saw them at airsoft world for £163 and had my chance. Umarex it is I guess which I believe to be the next best thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marui could rename it to gp17 and remove all of the trademarks and call it a day and/or pay licensing fee to the relevant company. Umarex doesn't do much regarding airsoft just outsources the manufacturing to third parties. Mainly VFC. The best second thing would be WE because lots of marui parts are interchangeable.

Might cost you a bit more than £163 but you’ll get one. also *if* Impulse 101 honour their orders, you might see a few on the U.K. market in the months coming. if you’re after a gen5 - GHK might be the best option. They’ve just released a gen5 mos. Easier to get hold of compared to the gen5 Marui. The WE “gen5” systems are just gen3 Marui systems with the gen5 trades. ruskitseller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have a wanted ad up just in case so I may get lucky. No dramas if not. I saw the ghk ones, look great but not sure they are worth the premium price tag for me personally.

Thank you, this is pretty much it 3 hours ago, Cannonfodder said: IMO that's irrelevant. If Jez's source has asked not to be named then it's only right that he honours that. Exactly this, why would I drop a long term friend in it for some random username on a forum I've never dealt with 😂 Edited October 24 by Jez_Armstrong Cannonfodder, Colin Allen and Tackle 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve experienced it twice now where they’ve tried to sell me a Marui gen5 MOS. The red flag is that they want payment in bank transfer or PayPal F&F. Each time as well, they’ve used photos from Google. So reverse image searching will quickly tell you if it’s a scam.

hitmanNo2 Posted October 24 Share Posted October 24 (edited) So, I heard back from my source who asked TM directly what's going on with Glocks. TM said there are just production issues in general which are impacting multiple product lines, not just Glocks. TM said there are no issues with licencing and that is a rumour started by a store/distributor that has no involvement with TM and is not to be trusted. Is TM lying? Possible but doubtful. We'll see I guess. And I got all that without having to sign a NDA. In summary, everyone can chill out.

Supporters TheFull9 Posted October 24 Supporters Share Posted October 24 trustmebro Given their batch production it'll be a while before the verified truth comes out. Either more fully marked Glocks will just appear at retailers, unmarked ones will appear, or it'll be an incredibly loud and noticeable silence for a long while I'd imagine since they probably won't announce the cessation of Glock production. I believe this is their official site? In which case if the Glocks/markings vanish from here then we'd perhaps actually have a solid answer. https://www.tokyo-marui.co.jp/products/gas/blowback/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
