Atsalakotos Posted October 16, 2015 Report Share Posted October 16, 2015 Thats the first AEG release in years that made me say: WOW. Props to these guys for at least coming up with something new! Link to post Share on other sites
blobface Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 .... inserts that go into an unmodified real steel AK mag.... functional bolt catch with charging handle reset... Celcius is doing it right... I'm glad I sold my real sword, this should be a worthy replacement, wonder what externals they will use, LCT? E&L? ummm Link to post Share on other sites
Horsem4n Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 i still hate those motors Link to post Share on other sites
Lone_Bullet Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Excited and cynical at the same time, i've been wishing for a E&L with ASCU for a long time! This might just do it! Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I like how they think. Link to post Share on other sites
Isamu Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Looks surprisingly good, hope they make it right, but I fear the price tag will be out of my budget =S Link to post Share on other sites
mightyjebus Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 looks good. it looks like it will be full stock only as the mosfet and battery need to go in there. It might be possible to move the mosfet forward into the handguards with a bit of rewiring and putting the battery into the gas tube. It would open it up to be any folding stock model. all 3 electronic boards look to be the standard m4 type which makes replacements easier. I can't see if the pistol grip is a real version or a modified AEG type or something in between. The PTW motors are quite long and the real grip is short so we will wait and see unless someone knows already. Link to post Share on other sites
thatguy404 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Much want. Bit bummed were limited to full stock. There's no way you can fit battery and fet due to how they have made thst gb work. Feel a little unsure about the top part of the gb being so exposed though. Link to post Share on other sites

Its always baffled me why noone makes a folding AK stock with a feild bandage battery bag: http://i.imgur.com/tu8almg.jpg . As for the exposed gearbox, I guess time will tell, my gut feeling is its a bad idea, but if the top cover is secure enough they might get away with it. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Well, depending on a lot of factors, that's a significantly more appealing prospect than any of the AR TWs. Finding mags that'll actually fit may be a slight challenge given the variances in the RS. Also in 2 minds about the trigger, very practical but absolutely nothing like the real thing; will appeal to some and turn-off others. If they put this inside some really nice steel externals though and the internals are actually reliable, it'd be a great option overall I think. I have been looking at various AK options for years and it was going to be either a Real Sword or GHK, but one of these could fill the middle ground quite nicely (potentially). Personally it'd be dependant on the availability of different length barrels, RS handguard fitment and pistol grip and stock options (further down the line), but I'd imagine if you were after a classic style gun you'd be well catered for. Do they make many versions of their M4? Link to post Share on other sites
Leshy Posted October 18, 2015 Report Share Posted October 18, 2015 Looks good, I would like an AK platform, but I'm willing to wait for KWA to release the AKR series and compare the two. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 This plus the new Magpul furniture and I'm a happy player. Link to post Share on other sites
Cire_ Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's pure awsome that CTW did this, even tho i won't buy it. Hopefully tho it will push other companies to make them aswell. Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 I seriously doubt that it was actually released on the stated date... Link to post Share on other sites
Beeingmyself Posted December 9, 2015 Report Share Posted December 9, 2015 Before thinking about RS how about making a gun that actually work I will be laughing my ace of if this is as poor as their M4... A gun with RS parts - that doesn't work wuhuhuuuu Link to post Share on other sites

blobface Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 That's pretty cool for someone with CTW / PTW M4s.... although there was a video made by scoutthedoggie and in the description it reported the gun was firing on full auto without anyone touching the trigger... :\ Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Yeah, I read about that. The sensors can get picky if they are not absolutely clean, or maybe the Celcius electronics are not that good, but in this last offering you can choose to put Etiny in there, and a FCC motor, for example.
