burning_ghost Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 (edited) Superb review FarEast and at what must be a hectic time for you too, thanks! I've just mailed RSOV and had a reply back within 5 minutes, so I'm on the list! Â The "low-ish" FPS doesn't bother me as my CYMA AK only shoots about 270 and I do okay with that in woodland. Now I just have to wait. I need to make an airsoft "advent calender". Edited June 1, 2007 by burning_ghost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyrunner Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the great review, I am definatly ordering one, just a bit concerned as to whether it will actually take plastic mid caps or not... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BenjaminRombough Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for a brilliant review mate. Â Does the blowback affect the FPS at all ie drop when its on go back up when its disabled? Â only when you get time. sounds like you got your hands full over there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
slick63 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks for the cracking review Far East and congrats on the new baby, hope mother and child are well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
evansy Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yes they do. Infact I found that my older ones fit better now. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Fareast  As for everyone asking about mag/star plastic mags. Couldnt you just glue a small square of plastic (shop loyalty card or something) above the mag catch hole instead of bending out the metal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FarEast Posted June 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Why would I want to do that? I already said it doesn't effect the magazines fitting other M4/M16 magwells. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wobbly Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 So will this gun be released in the UK anytime soon? I sent an e-mail asking about postage costs and was told around about 40 quid, but if it's coming over here anyway I may as well wait a little longer. Any ideas?

SwatMP5man Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Meh www.landwarriorairsoft.com had them on pre-order at £125 and reckons they'll be here by the 23rd June. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike_West Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Yes they do. Infact I found that my older ones fit better now.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hmmm, that sounds like shorter mag catch, same as in JLS guns using STANAGs. At least now I know what to do when I get my F2000.

Reejoc Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 PLus i remember reading from some where that the postage will be £45 to the UK <{POST_SNAPBACK}>  What a rip off. Shame they'll probably still cost more in the UK, so I'm on the list anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites

my_plague_666 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 the top half of the GB at least looks like an ICS M4 top half, so does it take V2 upgrade parts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would call them the result of a bit of a rip off, especially considering the AK-SVD would cost more to ship due to being larger and heavier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
0 armalite 0 Posted June 3, 2007 Report Share Posted June 3, 2007 I received an estimated postage amount from RSOV of £38 after emailing them. this makes it 98 quid per rifle. quite cheap really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
