strikejd Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 OK so it's just an A2 receiver with an action RAS kit on it but it seems it's as close as we are gonna get off the shelf any time soon Apologies if this has been done before but if it has I missed it. http://www.airsoftscotland.com/acatalog/__...n____.html#a324 Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Wonder if they've got the 500mm inner barrel, or if they've gone with the 509mm like the normal AUGs (which leaves the inner barrel slightly visible through the flash excluder ports) Link to post Share on other sites
strikejd Posted June 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Says 495mm on the specs. No idea what a New black/chrome high performance reinforced gearbox is though??? Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Hyde Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 It's just the JG 2008 gearbox, they did a bunch of things to it to make it better. I think I will have to pick this one up soon, after the MG42 . Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 I wouldn't bother, it's no real improvement over the standard AUG A1. Plus it's very front heavy, which takes away the "pointability" of having a bullpup with all the weight in the rear. Having said that, I think it looks better than the real steel A3, and of course, have the Action RAS kit as part of Project AUG: A3esque 01 A3esque 02 A3esque 03 Link to post Share on other sites
Fullforce Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 Holy cow, do want. Link to post Share on other sites
bitchtits Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 not keen on it my self, would rather get a standard version again Link to post Share on other sites
MDK_Marshal Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Mmm. Dunno how accurate it is to the Real Steel, but it certainly looks nice. Link to post Share on other sites
massoh2 Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Is it compatible with Classic Army brand of AUGs? If I bought one would it be possible to just switch the receivers? Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Potter Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Wow for some reason , that makes me think AUGS are kinda... good looking? Link to post Share on other sites
zaku2f Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 HOLY ###### finally , been waiting for this release for a long time, a3 model, gone from ugly *albatross* aug, to one of the sexiest guns on the planet, me want Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 If you've been waiting for so long, why didn't you just get the Action RAS Kit when it came out, ages ago? Action RAS Kit at WGC It is compatible with every version of the AUG A1 SR - TM, CA, whatever, but requires a shorter - 500mm is the maximum - inner barrel than the stock AUG's.

MDK_Marshal Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 Because that easily costs more than the gun itself, and then you have to spend another few hundred on a gun to put it on? Cost and simplicity, mate. It's what's made half of these clones so succesfull Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 7, 2008 Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 CA AUG A1, $288 from WGC. Action RAS Kit, $230 from WGC. Not a huge difference, admittedly. What I don't understand is why anyone is making these, instead of just making a more accurate A3 replica. I suppose they're just being cheap. Link to post Share on other sites

Angry Posted June 8, 2008 Report Share Posted June 8, 2008 I reckon its only a matter of time before CA releases an A3, so I'll just wait for that. Link to post Share on other sites
Xsjado Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I really hope the front end will turn up as a separate unit. I don't see myself using it too much but it would be nice to have and ACM prices make it worthwhile. What I really want is the sniper length one. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Er.... The A3esque kit has been available for some time now. It's made by Action and comes in a normal version (500mm inner barrel) and a "sniper" version, which throws any pretence of being an accurate replica out of the window.

Stealthbomber Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Because that easily costs more than the gun itself, and then you have to spend another few hundred on a gun to put it on? Cost and simplicity, mate. It's what's made half of these clones so succesfull I think the point was more to do with people cheering cos this has "finally" appeared when, in fact, it's been available to anybody who truly wanted one for years. Personally, I'd consider buying one, chopping off the rail and then trying to graft a G36c rail onto it to create a more authentic A3. I have this on my "things to do" list but, TBH, it's not anywhere near the top. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I'd be interested to see that, Stealth. Link to post Share on other sites

Well all know that because you already said it once in this thread. Make sure to read peoples opinions before getting righteous. Note: ACM prices make it worthwhile. We also know your opinions on accuracy of replicas, so there's no need to keep on about it every time someone mentions an AUG. Link to post Share on other sites
Wege Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 ok, well that 'a3' thing is out in HK.. for about $165US.. at one website. good grief. Link to post Share on other sites
MinisterofDeath Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Why is it mission impossible for someone to build an AUG A3 airsoft rifle? IT can't possibly be that hard to do for crying out loud. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted June 29, 2008 Report Share Posted June 29, 2008 Maybe the airsoft manufacturers have a sense of style? Link to post Share on other sites
