No ETA is set yet, but keep checking the Spartan Imports website for updates. Spartan Imports is the exclusive distributor of these products. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 they'll only be available in the US? or in HK as well? edit: just read the site... damn! US only Link to post Share on other sites
EvilCookie Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Would be nice if they mentioned retailers who will carry these as their retailer locater cannot find any stores within 500 miles of me. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Anyone know if they'll release a 6mm version? 8mm can be kinda pricey in the ammo dept. Link to post Share on other sites
sirrith Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 seeing as its marushin, i dont think so. Link to post Share on other sites
halo galo Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Could anyone tell me what will be the options for all the HK/european airsofters to get one of these export versions ? From the few players i know , a green gaz version of the M500 would become a best seller here in France ... Please Keep us posted on release dates, prices and availability anyway, I'd really like to find a way to get a M2. thanks for the news, HG. Link to post Share on other sites
Yeager Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Any idea what they're going to retail for? Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Any idea what they're going to retail for? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Dude... didn't you just get one!?!! I can't imagine these soon to be released ones would cost much more than $300 as the ones at AEX cost about that much (and they were imports). Personally, I'd rather have a 6mm version. Let me know if you want to get rid of yours. Link to post Share on other sites
hhsohn Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 Haven't read the original press release, but it could be a marketing spin... I doubt Spartan would be the exclusive retailer of these things all over the world. Link to post Share on other sites

I doubt Spartan would be the exclusive retailer of these things all over the world. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> it would cost a boatload for spartan to pay an intern to put drips of super glue into the bleed valves in the shotguns I mean it might cost 20 bucks to do a hundred! :X Link to post Share on other sites
nieon Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 lol i never had problems using green gas on my old marushin m500... Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted May 1, 2007 Report Share Posted May 1, 2007 lol i never had problems using green gas on my old marushin m500... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe they deactivated the relief valve? Filling the relief valve with epoxy or super glue seems like a very common approach to making the M500 Green Gas usable. Here's an excellent review (including description of how to "fix" the stock gun for Green Gas). Just good to see these back on the market. To me, Airsoft Shotguns should spray BBs instead of shooting 'em one at a time. Link to post Share on other sites
AliceHKfan Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 now the question with the Garands is "are we gonna see M1C's, M1D's, and MC1's?" etc etc Link to post Share on other sites
maccrage Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 *Fruitcage* that, will they "ping"?? I for one would love an upgraded M1 that is skirmish worthy. I have the stock Marushin, but it's not practical for a game. Link to post Share on other sites
evilliboba Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 If that M1 is under $400 it will be mine. Link to post Share on other sites
AK74M545 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 amen to that i hope this m1 will be better than their last one Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 If that M1 is under $400 it will be mine. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Same here, but I doubt it. The regular M1 is $430 from Redwolf before shipping. I remember seeing the price on the Garand before the gas it used or the how fast it shot. The M2, maybe, but there are about 20 other things I'd rather have. Overall pretty meh, if you ask me. I'd buy one of those C96 GBBs or that MP40 running on green, though.

Perch Posted May 9, 2007 Report Share Posted May 9, 2007 Spartan has the CA M14s for FAR below RW's pricing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Spartan doesn't even have the CA M14s yet so how can you tell us something about their pricing? Link to post Share on other sites
razardica Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 Spartan doesn't even have the CA M14s yet so how can you tell us something about their pricing? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because they're on their latest price list? Link to post Share on other sites
Chris North Posted May 10, 2007 Report Share Posted May 10, 2007 It's not as though Redwolf is the cheapest every time. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I suppose that's true. I still don't expect it to be much cheaper, though. Link to post Share on other sites
