kalbs Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Finally my BAR is complete with these two items. Those of you who purchased this AEG may want to add these missing items. I picked up my set yesterday from WGC. Note that they are also selling more spare magazines for your BAR. Both the handle and bi-pod are full steel with a parkerized finish and the wood on the handle matches the wood stock. WGC quotes a price of US$202.00 for the set. Very well made and if I didn't know better would say they are reconditioned real ones. Link to post Share on other sites
boomboomairsoft Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 i bet i could pick up the 'real ones' at a gun show for 50 bucks Link to post Share on other sites
kalbs Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 i bet i could pick up the 'real ones' at a gun show for 50 bucks That would be a nice find. online a real pair costs around $250 from BMGparts and gun broker is has the action staring at $225 just for a bipod Link to post Share on other sites
Galaxy613 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Usually you can find guns and parts for dirt cheap at gun shows. Like mosin nagants for like $20 or so I have heard. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Sasaki Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Usually you can find guns and parts for dirt cheap at gun shows. Like mosin nagants for like $20 or so I have heard. Uh, more like 60-80 bucks... The VFC parts sounds like they'd be about what, if not a bit cheaper than what you'd expect to pay for real BAR parts. BAR's are pretty sought after, all their accessories are pretty pricey. Link to post Share on other sites
Ritifo Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Usually you can find guns and parts for dirt cheap at gun shows. Like mosin nagants for like $20 or so I have heard. That's because there are so many Mosin Nagants and no one wants them except people looking for the cheapest rifle possible. Link to post Share on other sites
Johnny Sasaki Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 That's because there are so many Mosin Nagants and no one wants them except people looking for the cheapest rifle possible. You know, it's perfectly legitimate to buy a reliable, robust full-power bolt action rifle that costs under $100. Nothing wrong with Nagants. And lots of people are buying them, you can't really pass up that price. About the BAR though, it looks amazing. Does the standard version have a metal barrel, though? WGC's details are pretty spotty there. Link to post Share on other sites

WGC's details are pretty spotty there. Most definetly. seeing as its VFC were talking about here. i think the main difference between the Std and the DX version is just that the DX is fully CNC machined and little bits changed here and there. but probably nothing too serious like replacing the metal barrel with a plastic one.

Johnny Sasaki Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I kinda figured, but there's not too much information about the BARs yet. They definitely seem like a real monster, though... I'd love to have one. Link to post Share on other sites

kalbs Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I did a review for filairsoft on this AEG (It's on our team web page now). It's a very nice toy: VFC 1918A2 Bar Review Link to post Share on other sites
SlickAxe Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Nice! Airsoft Assist also has them in their productlist. http://www.airsoftassist.eu/catalogue.php?cat=22 (bottum of page) Link to post Share on other sites
swannie_2006 Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Damn.. I always wanted to have a BAR. Unfortunately WGCShop is out of stock and I was unable to find any other retailers selling them. Is there any chance they'll be back in stock or was this "widely available" gun a limited series ?

SlickAxe Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Check the dealer locator of Airsoft Assist and find some European dealers. Practicall all their dealer have or can get a VFC BAR. Link to post Share on other sites
Tarnish Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 Just keep in mind that if you're intending to have a WW2 look to your load-out that the carry handle should not be fitted in most cases, they did not become a feature of the BAR until very late in WW2 to the point that they are considered to be a post-war/Korean War feature.
