Mike_West Posted January 27, 2021 Report Share Posted January 27, 2021 Okay. This is a PDW thread. PDW standing for Plain Damn Weird. Octagon Airsoft is selling folding stocks for APC9/APC556 replicas, but, not the replicas themselves. It appears that despite being made in China, both are Japan-exclusive. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/ARROW-APC9-K-Electric-First-Press-Limited/dp/B08BCJ5RDG https://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/B08NVJFMTV?ie=UTF8&language=en&redirect=true Someone has cracked the latter open, and it appears to be a bog standard V2 setup: https://blog.evolutor.net/2021/01/12/double-eagle-apc556-disassembly/ Did I miss something, or is it something new? The blog post is dated January 12, so it might be news... EDIT: Whaddaya know, Tiger111 has the APC9K in stock, however, I can't find the APC556 anywhere yet. https://airsoft.tiger111hk.com/Airsoft-Guns-ARROW-ARMS-Guns/c3_431/p47982/Arrow-Arms-APC9-K-AEG-Rifle-with-T2-Red-Dot-Sight-(Black)/product_info.html Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 Seems new indeed or at least out in December. Echigoya only posted a review of it at the end of December 2020: https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=https://echigoya.militaryblog.jp/e1053813.html&prev=search&pto=aue Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 What I want to know is who makes that EFCS. It's marked by DE, but I've seen it in a brand called Poseidon, which has or had a line of Punisher 1-3 rifles. They called it Trident EFCS in those. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted January 30, 2021 Report Share Posted January 30, 2021 Octagon has the APC9s now but no APC556 as of yet. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 APC556 in stock at Octagon. Apparently Double Eagle OEM. https://www.octagonairsoft.com/product-page/fcw-apc556-style-aeg-double-eagle Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Yep, saw them on Octagon's website yesterday. The price is awfully steep for a Double Eagle TBH... Link to post Share on other sites
Wingmann Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Waayyyy out of their price range. Link to post Share on other sites
hitmanNo2 Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Indeed. I wonder if it actually is DE. Could be a higher end OEM and DE is putting their name on it? Seems pretty odd. $400 is VFC money. Link to post Share on other sites
TheFull9 Posted March 21, 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2021 You're buying B&T guys that's what you gotta pay... lol Random fact; the 556 is the only gun I've ever shot that's bit me. Dropped down behind one at a range day, never handled it before, didn't know about the *suitcasey* reciprocating charging handle. Never had to man up so hard in my life to not let anyone around me know I just *fruitcage*ed my own left thumb. Link to post Share on other sites
