ColSanders Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 I'm almost afraid of what the battery position's going to be Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Well, it either the foregrip or inside the reciever. Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Shouldn't be any probs fitting a minitype battery in the foregrip. I doubt they'd go for fitting an AK-type battery inside the reciever, even though this might be possible. Link to post Share on other sites
The End Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I like, but knowing star, this will cost me an arm and leg...any price predictions? Link to post Share on other sites
Death By Cadbury Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 I was watching videos on youtube and this gun seems to have a similar 3 round burst feature to the new type 89. could star be ripping off TM design THAT fast? Link to post Share on other sites

Jagdraben Posted July 23, 2006 Report Share Posted July 23, 2006 Or perhaps Star already developed it before Marui? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Or, more likely, concurrently/parallel with Marui. Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 I'm guessing 16"-barrel @ US$450 and 18"-barrel @ US$480 Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted July 30, 2006 Report Share Posted July 30, 2006 Releasedate anyone? Link to post Share on other sites
Splinter Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Releasedate anyone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well guys just got mine 2 weeks ago from a local retailer here in the Philippines and only two units was brought-in by STAR company for promotional purposes. However the store owner decided to sell both and fortunately I got one of them. My intial finding so far is that a 9.6v 1700Mah (chako-type) batt would fit in the frontgrip & its has a plastic gearbox just like from other Star's aegs (L85 & 249). FPS seems about between 350-380. Anyway, I'll keep u guys posted on some pics and details once we open here up. Link to post Share on other sites

Habakure Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 Didn't they say it would be a metal gear box originally? Link to post Share on other sites
Xeno-Morpheus Posted August 30, 2006 Report Share Posted August 30, 2006 If it was a promotional one and had a plastic gearbox, the market one might still have a metalgearbox. One could hope atleast... More info, pics etc please! Link to post Share on other sites
Splinter Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 The unit cost me around US$375.00 and the retailer told me that Star will launch it officially by the end of October or early November of this year. Well the unit I got came with just a plain brown box without any markings, instruction manuals or even cleaning rods. However it does have nice packaging that surely holds the gun safely inside the box. From my initial inspection is that the mag really wobbles when inserted and the cocking handle is a bit flimsy. But the 3round burst is surely heaven!! By the way, the Star FNC i got was the shorty version. Link to post Share on other sites
nightfire6 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 $375.00. Now that is a low price for a Star Gun. Link to post Share on other sites

It's an easy way to cut $100 off the normal Star price tag. THANK GOD! Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Finger's crossed for no carry case with this FNC, oh and also that the internals are good..... Link to post Share on other sites
Rapier Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 Oh, and the Oct/Nov ship date sounds about right. I found out we are supposed to have ours for the Tulsa Gun show the 3rd weekend of October. Projected price was around $400-450 Link to post Share on other sites
Habakure Posted August 31, 2006 Report Share Posted August 31, 2006 This is getting better by the minute. Link to post Share on other sites
Sysoosi Posted September 2, 2006 Report Share Posted September 2, 2006 ...and just when I was sure I'd buy an AKSU, DAMN YOU STAR! Well the end of october, no thanks. I don't have a gun atm. so I'll pass probably . (yes, I'm poor so I'll have to decide ) Link to post Share on other sites
Aidan Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Bah, I'll wait for the VFC, and then see if my wallet can handle it. (After I build the Varmint rifle in my sig, of course) Link to post Share on other sites
