Well Pro have made some great budget rifs recently - this looks interesting! I have owned them (and still own the PPK 20) and have been impressed by the build quality and stock internals.

Edit: Disregard - confusing well pro with well fire. D'oh.

No 2 round burst?☹

 

On the plus side it looks to be better made than the real thingI

 

 

 

Yeah that would be nice wouldn't it mate, although I believe Well Pros Advance models have a programmable Mosfet. So maybe its possible to make it do 2 round? 

 

I think the real version is one of the first new rifles to not have been designed by Mikhail Kalashnikov so apparently that is one of the reasons things are reported to not be going so well with this model. They do look very cool though which as we all know is the most important thing for us airsofters haha. 🤣 

 

What I can say (and I swear I do not work for Well Pro) is that I had one of their polymer AEG versions and it was fantastic for the price. I sold it to a chap on here, I wonder how it is going? 🤔

So talking to asian market friends, whilst this is theoretically TM AKM system, it's only going to be partially compatible - so unless its really, really cheap, probably going to be a halo item.

Yes they are here for $498 which is a fair old whack. I think because it is early days, costs do tend to be higher so maybe it will go down eventually. I think they are a rebrand of just "Well"? 

 

What I do know though is that they have a Well Pro rep who is very accessible and approachable. He responds directly to messages and the group canvasses for ideas from its fans.

It's the same company, they've just retooled from WE clones to TM clones.

 

But at $500, you're well into just buy the TM territory.

Yes you are right really - the TM AKM is £540 at the moment. One has to question the production costs that went into this or do they know that despite the cost, people will buy it anyway...the thing is, Well Pro are well in the budget zone and will find it very hard to move above that.

Though occurs TM guns are not expensive they just get jacked up because they are grey imports so are they saying these Chinese/Taiwanese guns cost way more to produce than TM or are they just ting the piss. i know which one my money is on.
