renegadecow Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 http://marushin-kk.co.jp/itemgarand6mm.html http://redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/Gas_Pistols_SMGs_Marushin_Marushin_M1_Garand_6mm.htm While news of a 6mm Garand in development had been posted at the Marushin website, it's been many months since and while updates of other products came along the M1 never arrived. Until now. Still retaining its 8 round capacity, this gas blowback rifle has one less con for undecided buyers to scratch off the list. There is still the questionable durability of its internals when using gasses other than hfc134a which can only be addressed when somebody buys and reviews it. Link to post Share on other sites
demoncase Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Seconding the concerns about reliability....Marushin seen to choose a form of potmetal with the tensile strength of crumbly cheese. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 Ooh.. Sorely tempted, but $600 is just a bit higher than I'm willing to take a chance with after all the poor reviews of the internals. Link to post Share on other sites
LastSpartan Posted July 5, 2011 Report Share Posted July 5, 2011 AWESOME. + 1 to CKinnerley. It would be 1200$ here, which is insane for a wall hanger. Link to post Share on other sites
volante Posted July 6, 2011 Report Share Posted July 6, 2011 Wow. I my country, 8mm BB's illegal. So 8mm M1 was not imported through Customs. It may can be seen in Korea easily. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted July 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Any reasoning why 8mm isn't allowed but 6mm is? Link to post Share on other sites
volante Posted July 7, 2011 Report Share Posted July 7, 2011 Any reasoning why 8mm isn't allowed but 6mm is? Well, I don't know why but Korean law does not allow importing of 8mm BBs and 8mm BBguns. So only smuggled M1 garand is available in here but they cost nearly $1500 as second hand one. Link to post Share on other sites
harborne blue Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 With Ares about to release an AEG Garand, I know which one I'll be buying... Link to post Share on other sites
faramon Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 The Gas one? ... Because the other is an ares ..... I kid .... But seriously ... Say No To Ares Kiddies! Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 When and where did ARES announce that? DBoys mentioned a GBB and ICS are working on an AEG but that's all I'd heard about up to now. Link to post Share on other sites
LastSpartan Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Here : s Where have you heard about DBoys!? Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 Interesting... shame it'll have gears made of mushy peas. The DBoys was mentioned a while back on here by a user who frequently visits the various chinese gun manufacturers, JG, A&K etc. Though what the current state of the AEG producing business in China is I don't know, there's a fair bit of stuff filtering through but fairly little compared to when it was at its' height, and a lot fewer new designs.

It's like we are cursed here, Since 2008 its been downhill all the way, 2008 Beijing Olympic games, 2009 60th Anniversary of Communist party, 2010 Guangzhou asian games, 2011 Shenzhen Universiade , now again all standstill here another games on, i reckon until September nothing big happens here, security very tight now again hope this streak ends here and 2012 no any bloody games...enough already.
