Lon Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Is no one else excited about the MG42? Good to hear that they're actually (supposedly) still working on it. Hopefully they can reinforce the front end well enough before it releases. Link to post Share on other sites
Fighting Maus Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Is no one else excited about the MG42? Good to hear that they're actually (supposedly) still working on it. Hopefully they can reinforce the front end well enough before it releases. I am excited that we may finally have a reliable MG-42 to skirmish with. The bonus for me is that I can use my RS MG42 ground mounts with the airsoft version. The AA tripod will go in our fields tower, and the ground mount will be deployed in cover. There will be much celebrating. Link to post Share on other sites
seawulfhornblower Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 i talked with AGM sales rep and they denied everything about making a STEN, but i try to catch the Boss when he comes back from Hong Kong on monday to get ultimate confirm if possible. I was fearing that. Still it would be a great.... and rather easy AEG to make. Link to post Share on other sites

Nicoli Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 I have seen only one AEG M1 Carbine, which was a highly custom build from Japan. Now, that being said, if there was an AEG M1 Carbine produced, i'd buy several in a heartbeat Warren at shootnscoot is making custom built M1 Carbine AEG's aswell, not sure how far along he is though they were a 'coming soon' last time I looked. http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2/vi...3e5bf19934f5bcb http://www.ww2airsoft.org.uk/php/phpBB2/vi...f=13&t=7732 Link to post Share on other sites
Steel Rayne Posted July 16, 2009 Report Share Posted July 16, 2009 Well the VIVA has a slightly modded M14 gearbox; S&S sten MKVs use AK47 gearbox, S&S MkIIs use M14 and all other custom Stens I've seen either use one of these or one of the Micro AEG gearboxes, eg Mac10. I've never seen one use a P90 gearbox as it's usually thought to be too big. Personally I'm not that excited about any of these releases as I've had a full-steel Viva Sten MkII (with working hop) for about 2 months now. It's nice for other people though! Heh... though note that in the British Army in WWII only one in ten men usually had a Sten MkII. The rest had Enfield rifles, which of course we don't have apart from in custom form yet... erm, i thought the viva had an mp7 gearbox? Isnt the m14 a damn sight too big? i'm suprised actually! The viva one my other half has uses a lipo, and if the agm is a copy, which is most likely, it will follow suit. and yes they take amg mags... agm mp40 midcaps Link to post Share on other sites

It's a pity there is no release date. Anyway, it must be $210 USD, or maybe it's the most expensive airsoft shop because other items has similar prices. Link to post Share on other sites

harborne blue Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 The AGM Stens are in the UK. Airsoft Scotland are selling the first batch at the W&P show and there are now pics up at the CiA website (seems to be down at the moment). Quick summary: £200 Full metal (but pot or ally - not steel) Uses MP40 mags MOSFET Lipo and charger - the charger is apparently 'dodgy' so nothing new there then Good range and ROF Question mark over the hop - there may not be one. All in all, this looks like a much cheaper and slightly improved version of the Mk1 Viva model that came out earlier this year (also lacked a hop). Should be a review up on CiA by the weekend it seems. Link to post Share on other sites

The General Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I will let you all guess what my thoughts are with reference to a £250 AGM Sten... Hell no! (in case you can't guess) *EDIT* OK, £200 is not so bad. But no Hop unit? Cluck that! Link to post Share on other sites
Rabianegra Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 I guess he means fixed hop up unit. No hop up would be ridiculous... Link to post Share on other sites
