The ECHO 1 USA AEGs have just been released and are currently distributed by JAG Precision in the USA (thanks for Carl at 1st Protocol for the heads up on that one). Here’s the initial video, more videos can be found on the review page, or the 1st Protocol YouTube pages:

There’s a page over at the 1st Protocol site showing the first review and some videos of the new build AEGs, you can find them listed on the 1st Protocol site in their own subsection.

As you can see from the product listings there you’re talking about 115-135USD for a TM build quality clone AEG. The M4 tested was a steady 330 fps out the box and was easily upgraded to a higher power level with a spring swap and still ran reliably.

Whilst I’m on the suibject of ECHO1’s products, there’s an MP7 on the way from them. Again this is a full TM clone, but at a vastly reduced cost and lacking the trades:

More comparison shots can be seen here with the ECHO1 against the TM model and the stock FPS is quoted at around 260fps. Obviously ECHO1 import into the USA from a source outside the USA, however from a US buyer’s point of view you have the obvious advantage of buying them direct from a US retailer (or distributor) at a decent price with local backing and warranty.
