slick63 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 Just reading through some of the U.S. forums and a chap on there has a contact in the Philipines where the UTG AK47 has been released and he confirms the one on Kocashop is definately the UTG....?? How true this is I don`t know but haven`t heard anybody else producing a TM copy. Translated the page with babelfish and the price on kocashop is £20.... Link to post Share on other sites
Jordan74 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I don't know, doesn't look right to me. The box is what kills it in my opinion. Trust me, that is not a UTG box according to what i've seen...and there is a space for a pistol in the packaging.... EDIT:spelling Link to post Share on other sites
shortyusa-chris Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 The UTG Ak-47 has not been released. Trust me, I think I would know considering our relationship with leapers. Link to post Share on other sites
c00lio Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 chris any updates on when the ak47 aeg wil be relasede? Link to post Share on other sites
Shao14 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Anyone that can read that....what does it say? Doesn't look UTG to me...Leapers (utg, neonfire, everblast) uses the term "super spin" and it would say UTG on the box somewhere. Unless the writing says something about it being utg, then im wrong. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It says it's full metal. Nowhere says it's UTG. http://translate.google.com/translate?sour....asp%3Fid%3D363 Translated by google. Link to post Share on other sites
slick63 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Aren`t Leapers just the U.S. distributors, who`s to say the manafacturers haven`t released to mainland China. The thing at Kocashop isn`t Cyma or XL, and if someone else in China has copied a TM they must surely have thought about release into the European and U.S. market, wouldn`t be a very sound decision to keep it quiet.

SgtBojangles Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 Looks to me like they took a TM AK47, threw it in a mold, and screamed "LETS DO THIS!" I was thinking something along the lines of "Hmm, a cheap AK... maybe I could get one" then I realized my Dad has a TM AK... whoops! Link to post Share on other sites

Even if that's not the UTG, it's still prettty interesting. I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens. Isn't a decent amount of the TM metal anyway? Maybe they just went that extra mile since they don't need to operatre under the thumb of the ASGK. Link to post Share on other sites

They are either the manufacturer or the importer. I think they actually have factories manufacturing stuff. They do not have any retail sales. UTG is a trademark owned by Leapers. Not sure what the Chinese connection is. And considering airsoft is sort of illegal in mainland China, I doubt they'd try to sell it in mainland China. Woa. Full metal? One please.

staticzero Posted October 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Wow, nice! Glad it has the black furniture. I'd rather that than faux wood. I'm probably going to add real wood anyway, so what do I want an extra set of fake wood for? I hope that really is it. Link to post Share on other sites

elrey Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Mother of Pearl! Evike Linkage It's $80, on preorder. Matrix AK47 Style A.E.G. THIS GUN IS SIMPLY AMAZING. METAL OUTER BARREL. EVERYTHING EXTERNALLY IS EXACTLY LIKE THE TOKYO MARUI ONE. THE INTERNAL GEAR BOX IS JUST LIKE THE UTG/SRC WHERE IT IS NOT SHOOTING AS HARD AS TOKYO MARUI, BUT HEY, YOU CAN PUT A MARUI GEAR BOX INSIDE THIS IF YOU WANT! This gun is truly amazing and you will have to see it for yourself to believe that it is only $79.99. THINK ABOUT THIS: The Tokyo Marui AK magazine is around $30 bucks already! This gun comes with a full metal magazine exactly like the Marui one and compatible. If your Tokyo Marui AK47 have any external damages or does not look "NEW", this $80 buck gun will make your current Tokyo Marui LOOK BETTER! The finish on the gun, body, stock, barrel, magazine, anything external is actually Tokyo Marui quality or better!! We have this sample gun in our store, not for sale yet, for you to check them out yourself. Pre-Order will expect a delivery time in about 2 ~ 3 weeks. But I thought it wasn't due out for months?

Shao14 Posted October 9, 2005 Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Hehe, who said the one on Evike is UTG? It's labeled Matrix. If it has metal outer barrel and metal mag, then it's another step up from UTG in terms of external construction (since UTG didn't use much metal or any at all in barrel/receiver/mag for its MP5), and since it claims to accept TM's gearbox, it won't be the CYMA/Wells LPEG.
