vietnammarine Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Anybody has heard anything about this “WE” Carbine M1: https://www.german-sport-guns.com/shop/en/Springfield-M1-Carbine_SA-M1CC6E ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Does WE do plastic wood? Here is it for sale, not in Europe. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/Springfield_Armory_M1_Carbine_CO2_Blowback_Airsoft_Rifle/4663 Brand is "Air Venturi", upon examination of their other products it looks to be KWC. Though on the receiver it shows to be made in China, not Taiwan. https://www.pyramydair.com/s/m/John_Wayne_1911_Metal_CO2_BB_Pistol_Brown_Grips/4225 But then again, it could just be rebranded King Arms, as King Arms are the only manufacturer that makes the M1 Carbine.

NonEx Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 Just my initial thoughts without doing any research, that just seems like a type-o or misrepresentation of the product. I know WE's product catalog pretty well and have never seen or heard of them doing an M1 Carbine. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 The thought of a WE M1 carbine though: click on empty, gas mags that actually fit pouches, vsr-10 hop up! Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Marushin M1 carbine isn't that bad really. Sure mags don't fit modern pouches and doesn't click on empty, but its plenty accurate and more than skirmishable if you use ALICE webbing. Link to post Share on other sites
vietnammarine Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 It’s not WE for sure, my bet is also KWC thanks to both versions... should study the one at IWA a bit more. But wish it was WE, just for the click and right sized mags.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites
3vi1-D4n Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Correction: Its made in Taiwan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpUV11wumQI Link to post Share on other sites
harborne blue Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 Please someone tell them to remove the flipping bayonet lugs. They didn't exist until well after WWII. BTW this looks exactly the same as the ASG which was a copy of the Marushin. Both were very fragile in my experience - unless you could track down some (rare as hens teeth) steel parts. Mine was fitted into a gorgeous 1943 Springfield marked genuine wood stock but was only really usable in milsim WWII games. Link to post Share on other sites
vietnammarine Posted September 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 During the day I have found pics of the airsoft mags and it seems to be King Arms re-brand by 99%Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to post Share on other sites

It's the rear sight that's a harder operation needing to grind and file a dovetail to take a real one. Link to post Share on other sites

Seen the bolt on the 8mm version crack but doesn't seem to have the same issue on the 6mm. Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Isn't that the King Arms one? Link to post Share on other sites

Batmause Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 As I saw the photos, it seems to be a King Arms M1 Carbine. The magazine looks identically the same as KA M1 Carbine have. Link to post Share on other sites
