With a ruger mini 14 soon too, anyone know where I can pickup a GMC Vandura? (yes I had to google that bit).

There's a few about, i'm sure you can find one.

 

(I've seen a couple here in London.)

You got my hopes up for a second. it's not Mini 14 just a KC-02 with a stock kit. Some one on this forum did it with a real steel stock.

There's been a LOT of requests for Viva to make it into a full size Mini 14, I'd certainly say that's the better option. We'll see how open they are to changes. I've asked them to make a Bren gun for the UK market. Considering they already make a ZB26, I'm hoping they'll accommodate...

Whatever happened to the SKS they were doing?

Still in the works, there's a list of products planned for this year, but it's not small so we will see how many cross the finish line. Curious what GBB system it will use...

 

Speaking of which:

A GBBR SKS is my wet dream.  S&T are doing an AEG but it wont be the same....

Some fantastic items, I'll be visiting as soon as finances allow.

They're on Octagon for £593.33 so hopefully not too far off that mark... ?

It will be more than that but less than the total cost if you factor in shipping and taxes.

 

Octagon, and their FCW arm have a lot of operations based out of HK, which is also where Viva Arms are based. I have to factor in that extra cost to get it into the UK. I wouldn't be surprised at all if Octagon have managed to get it into the US at minimum cost,  one way it another. Based on the fact I also know what the wholesale prices are for all distributors.

Definitely looking forwards to hearing the cost once you've got the info!

Will be cool if the maxim comes with a little trolley. I did wonder about it's relevance today, but Incredibly - its still actually being used in the war in Ukraine...by both sides.

Anyone actually got a Viva Arms product? Just asking as they have been vaporware in the past (like 20 years ago) not sure if they took money back then but they promised all the cool guns being shown above and nothing ever got made.

They definitely made them even then, and have made many revisions to their products since.

 

Regarding the Bren pricing, I'm still waiting for updates. They only came up with a pricing structure for a minimum order quantity of 100....and I'm not in a position to fulfil that lol

Oh man... I'd be all over that bren (price depending) and me being me would have to pay with it, and convert to a L4...

The octagon link previously stated a hicap, this looks like a midcap. Is there a choice of magazines available?
