XavierMace Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 I can't give much details, but at this time the only other model they intend on releasing this year is the Sig. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 That goes against the release schedule I remember seeing a few months ago, which listed the L85, the SIG, the Galil and the MP5 all slated towards a 2008 release. Of course, ICS fell a bit behind the date for the L85. Maybe they realized that they were stretching their facilities too thin with the number of projects. Link to post Share on other sites
XavierMace Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 I'm aware of that, I'm the one who provided that original schedule. They won't explain what has changed, but as of last night, that is the schedule their marketing department is going with. Link to post Share on other sites
TheKurodaVagrant Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Oh, ha, forgot about that. Tis kind of strange that ICS rescheduled the releases. I was hoping to buy their revised MP5 this Christmas. :/ Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted September 20, 2008 Report Share Posted September 20, 2008 Oohh, only the Sig this year? I was really looking forward to the ICS FNC. So when is the FNC due? Next year? Two years? Eight? Link to post Share on other sites
XavierMace Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Best guess at this point based on the revised schedule... Don't count on seeing it until late next year at best. There's not really a point in speculating past that date. Link to post Share on other sites
Angry Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Give the fact that the L85 was 4-5 months late, I'd say you've got quite a wait ahead of you. Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Yeah, I guess. They will release the guns in that order? SIG, Galil, MP5 and FNC? Should be about 2 years away then. Perhaps the FNC isn't such a hot release since every manufacturer seems never want to release them. VFC and G&G also said that they would built them too. Last I heard anything there seems like years ago... Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, it's understandable, as the FNC isn't brand new, covered in rails or featured on Future Weapons. I wish ICS would make split gearboxes as accessories for existing guns by other manufacturers. I want one for my G36... Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 There are pretty cool rails for the FNC http://www.dsarms.com/prodinfo.asp?number=BT21488 http://www.dsarms.com/images/BT21488.jpg I'd like a PTW, MTW or WA gaspowered G36K. Preferably an FNC matching those critera though. But realisticly an G36K Link to post Share on other sites
Skarclaw Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Didn't they annouce an AK74SU a while ago, long before the fnc, l85 etc? Did they just stop with that once people realised their ak was *albartroth*? Link to post Share on other sites
XavierMace Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 Well, it's understandable, as the FNC isn't brand new, covered in rails or featured on Future Weapons. I wish ICS would make split gearboxes as accessories for existing guns by other manufacturers. I want one for my G36... Except it won't work in most other platforms (such as a G36) because it needs the body pins or the receiver to hold the gearbox together. Link to post Share on other sites
Panzergraf Posted September 22, 2008 Report Share Posted September 22, 2008 And the G36 does not have bodypins? Well, the airsoft versions might not have them stock, but I don't see a reason they couldn't be included in the package. Link to post Share on other sites
XavierMace Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 Maybe you missed my point... The pins holding the gearbox together go through the body and also hold the receiver together. No other gun has holes that line up with the gearbox like that. Even if they did, in most cases, it's either lacking the support on the top of the gearbox to hold down the upper or the body doesn't take down in a manner that provides any benefit to having the split gearbox. IE: SCAR-L. Body pins do not line up with the receiver and gearbox sits too low in the lower receiver to allow for the pins to be removed without removing the whole gearbox from the gun anyways. The entire upper is hollow meaning nothing his holding down the top of the gearbox other than 1 pin at the rear which is insufficient. Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 This is very much OT. A little bit of OT is allright, but this is going out of hand. Let's keep it to the ICS FNC Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 Is this project on hold or what? Where's the ICS FNC? Link to post Share on other sites
XavierMace Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Edit: ICS Sig is compatible with TM mags and Scope mount. Sig 552 will only fit a LiPo in the grip, otherwise you have to use a PEQ. Expect to see ICS Sig accessory announcements in the future. Anticipated release dates: M4 Crane Stock = Shipping Now L86 A2 (LSW) = April/May FN FNC = First half 2009 (woot) Sig 550/556 = Pending Further Market Research That was based with my discussions with them on 12/30. I've got some other related info here for those interested: http://www.airsoftretreat.com/forums/index...topic=63196.325 Link to post Share on other sites
Zodiac Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Have you by chance heard anything about the FAL they announced last year? I've been waiting for that and of course the FNC.......speaking of which I hope they give the option of buying the rare solid stock version. Link to post Share on other sites
