Tripod Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 Perhaps the picture of the baby is to symbolize that it is a new gun. Still...double you tee eff. I love the synthetic stock though. Still going to wait for TM. IF they come out with one. Link to post Share on other sites
enzo100 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 So the Japanese are training their troops as new borns with prototype airsoft guns......the truth is unraveling before our very eyes. Link to post Share on other sites

unimatrix001 Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 The baby? 'WTF' indeed... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe a little allusion to all those "i want a M14 now, wuah-wuah-wuah "-Airsoft cry babys ? Link to post Share on other sites
Lumin Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 well if TM is too add anything special to their M14 it got to be the word tactical on the box its shiped in.. or perhaps some vinyl coated plastic parts that will break on you the very first time your weapon see daylight.

Crazy_Harry Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 ok, I may be tempted by one of these afterall...was going to resist, but those pictures (other than the truly bizarre baby picture) have converted me... and it would go soooo well with my retro US scout look... back to the baby picture- shall we have a caption competition? winner gets a free bag of air "If my nappy doesn't get changed soon, there's going to be trouble..." *in the home of Zak and Stacy-Ann HillBilly...* "aarrrwwhh, Lookit Zak, lil Clem just shot his first trespasser..."

Manxmadman Posted February 15, 2005 Report Share Posted February 15, 2005 Just been over to Renegade Recon, and the MSRP (Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price) is $590, and is apparantly on target to be released at the end of March, so at least it means the M14 won't become as popular as you are all dreading it will be. Heres the direct link with new photos: http://www.renegaderecon.com/recon_details.php?id=434 Adam Link to post Share on other sites
HeuteGegangen Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 $600.00 without shipping from HK? suddenly the Mauri M14 is sounding very attractive I'm suppressed they arnen't including a wooden stock for that much, but there isn't anything new about an airsoft rifle being expensive.

Crazy_Harry Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 and G&G always charge more for their AEGs- look at the cost of their m4 range, but then, I guess you're paying for the magnesium diecast body, or something. $600 for the m14 will deter an awful lot of people until it can be proved it is going to be great out of the box. certainly I shan't be entertaining the prospect of getting one for quite some time- indeed, I'd probably have to move back to the UK before I considered spending tht much...

night hunter Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 I think that those who are charging ahead with M1 and M14 products are severly mislead. These products should be affortable. For example the Smokeys M1 and Hudson M21, why will anyone bother? Marushin's M1 seems to be on the right track, I guess G&Gs M-14 may end up cheaper though. If you look on Redwolfs description of the GR-16 range, they qoute higer MSRP prices. Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 Unless this thing is exactly like the real M14 in every single way (impossible) its not worth 600 dollars. Hell I could make my own M14 for less than that. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted February 16, 2005 Report Share Posted February 16, 2005 The MSRP is always higher than the sale price in Hong Kong. It'll probably be around 450 USD, which is still ridiculously expensive... Link to post Share on other sites
Longhairedhippy Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 if it has a wood stock, I can understand. If it is metal, i will understand. if it is plastic, nuke 'em. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted February 17, 2005 Report Share Posted February 17, 2005 Actually, I actually think they can justify the price. I mean what gearbox did they copy from TM this time? They did all the R&D work by themselves. Unfortunately, it means their price is much higher since they do not have a large grip on the airsoft market. Link to post Share on other sites
RobbyC Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Sorry if this has been asked already but has anyone any idea what sort of gearbox parts this thing is going to be using? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted February 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 Good point. If it's using a new gearbox design (quite likely), then if the thing breaks internally, you'll be screwed for spare parts until the TM comes out (most likely). Link to post Share on other sites
RobbyC Posted February 19, 2005 Report Share Posted February 19, 2005 yeh because i'm looking at it to upgrade past 328fps but if there are no parts then... HOPEFULLY it will be standard Version 2 / 3 based just a different shape. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 I'm guessing standard parts will be compatible with the TM, such as gears, bushings, piston parts, cylinder parts, springs and probably the spring guide. However, things like electrical switches and plates and the gearbox shell will most likely not. Link to post Share on other sites

RobbyC Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 yeh i know i'm on tenderhooks already!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 39 days people!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jesus i hope parts are available as soon as it comes out - as in internals Link to post Share on other sites
orca Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Welp, WGC is now taking preorders on this for $472.00 and WGC rarely takes preorders so I think they're pretty confident they will recieve them soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Manxmadman Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I would assume that as well, and since it only appears to be TM that ###### about with their release dates so much I reckon that G&G must have got their predictions right. Seems TM, even though I know they don't give a flying *fruitcage* about the western market, are going to be beaten by a better product (most probably). Adam Link to post Share on other sites
