Donut Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 Does anyone have any news on the CA M16VN?... seems like it just kinda died... I've seen prototype pics a year ago that looked almost complete... It's like CA doesn't care anymore, they've got thier G36's, Para, and G3 and AUG coming out... but no mention on the VN.

visionviper Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 maybe they tossed the project. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 NOOOOOO!!! I was waiting for one for so long... arrg, watch, now I'm going to go out and buy a TM + metal body + upgrades... and as soon as I do CA will announce it... Link to post Share on other sites
Wehrmacht54 Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I cant see why they would cancel it. They have all the parts basically...would be a pretty simple project for them. I really hope they make one as im interested in one as well. Interested in the AUG too...gahh i hate all these new releases. Link to post Share on other sites
sevenzero Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 NOOOOOO!!! I was waiting for one for so long... arrg, watch, now I'm going to go out and buy a TM + metal body + upgrades... and as soon as I do CA will announce it... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> or you could get this itll be cheaper than buying a TM VN, metal body + upgrades.

Donut Posted February 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 1. Too much upgrades... (don't need 400fps...) 2. Out of states... I hate customs and customs hate me... 3. Shipping cost will kill me... See, my plan is simple... Get a CA M16VN (when it comes out) get a madbull 470 to replace the CA gearbox then get a SRC for cheap and drop in the CA gearbox...

MMADust Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 I could understand CA Scrapping it. There's not a very large market for that gun. But we can hope Link to post Share on other sites
Lance Jackass Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 -Buy the cheapest most beaten up TM M4 you can find. -Fit the G&P VN front end kit, metal body and stock -Buy either the new STAR 20 round mags or the TM VN mags Done. Link to post Share on other sites
BARsrule2 Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 If it does come out, I wonder what the trademarks will be like. I swear to god if CA puts those bright white armalite trades on their M16VN I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever every buy it. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted February 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Maybe that's the problem? they can't get a licence? Link to post Share on other sites

Everything showed up within a week's time with no hitches, but the shipping is a little stiff. Link to post Share on other sites
DFA Wolf Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 i would most definitely buy this gun if it came out, i've always have been a fan of the vietnam era but havnt been able to show it due to the lack of good airsoft replicas (besides the GG M14). I was thinking ablut getting the GP VN barrel but my m4 (FS) is already camo painted, so i had to scrap that idea. Link to post Share on other sites
Donut Posted March 2, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm thinking of just getting a CA M16 or M4 with full stock and non-detachable carry handle and then get the GP barrel... but then the trades would look weird... I tried to e-mail them... so far, no response... pretty suspicious Link to post Share on other sites
Easy Company Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 That, plus the CA M16s and M4s have A2 or A3 receivers, not an A1. Link to post Share on other sites
ginger colin Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Cheers for the link sevenzero... (wgc) I knew G&P or G&G made one but the one I have only ever seen one with the A2 flash end front. Do you know what stock the use... The TM had the slip on slip off (and loose it) butt plate. P>S fps is to high for UK Link to post Share on other sites
sevenzero Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 WGC says it uses the G&P Solid Stock as for the fps, i think you can request them to lower it down for you. Link to post Share on other sites
