michael_collins Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 According to AD, TM has phased out several of its AEG's, the SIG550 and 551 models, the G3A3 and A4 models and the Steyr AUG Mil. are no longer being produced. Is this information true? Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 i'd heard the same about the G3's and the SPAS 12 folding stock version. Link to post Share on other sites
michael_collins Posted September 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Its odd, WGC has all the AEGs i just mentioned outta stock. Im starting to think my AUG Mil. has just increased in value. Link to post Share on other sites
The Stormhammer Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 The G3a3/4, SIG 550/1, and i think the AUG Mil. as well have all been out of production for quite a while, my friend. which kinda sucks 'cause i really wanted a 551. Link to post Share on other sites
sp00n Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Yep, been this way for a long time. Sucks cause I always wanted a G3A3.. Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Sucks cos I want an Aug Mil... Link to post Share on other sites
CountDoom Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Collins, is that a guinea pig with a pancake on its head? Its kinda cute . Shame, seriously the aug mil? Seems odd, i thought the sigs were rather new. Strange to think the FAMAS is out living them all... Are the AKs back in production? Xander Link to post Share on other sites
Icarus Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 Sucks cause I always wanted a G3A3.. ya same ..I heard They were kinda creaky but dang its a nice looking gun..if they could remake it with higher qulity pieces it would be sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted September 22, 2004 Report Share Posted September 22, 2004 G3A3s, SIG550s, SIG551s, and AUGs are all so cool... They might be bringing them back and hopefully 'modernizing' them like they did with the M16 and MP5 series. Think there was an article on Renegade Recon about an interview with Marui.

Xander <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No its a rabbit called oolong with a pancake on its head. AK-47 outta production?! *beep*, if i cant find one il order the CA33 Link to post Share on other sites
Connery Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 The SIG 551 is not in its cycle right now. The AKs are back in cycle, I believe. Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 The XM, Sig551/550, Car15, and G3A3/A4 have officially been discontinued, no more "cycles" those those. Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 Hopefully G&P will make a CAR15 stock and barrel set. I love that little thing. Link to post Share on other sites
Longhairedhippy Posted September 29, 2004 Report Share Posted September 29, 2004 you can find them on the cheap with a little luck. i am a fan of the car15 as well. only aramlite i could ever bring myself to own. Link to post Share on other sites
billymak Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 The G3A3/A4 and "almost" SG-1 are on long term "back order" I think they come in small timed batches and they're going up in price by a little. I think, that is. The 550, 551 are simply dis-ed until they "have figured out a better way of making good ones". As we all know the bursts are not reliable (8 out of 10 or something are not up to scratch). They, the sigs and G3s etc, were not popular with the (east) asian market when they first came out. (not india, pakistan and bangladesh) "TM saw them sink in the AEG charts and pulled the plug cus they didn't even make silver (music terminology)" I can only wait, i suppose.

Crandall Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 well if those are all being discontinued doesn't that mean there will be more new gun types?? Link to post Share on other sites
rhino Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 yeah, but i'm getting the impression that they'll either be "Boys" versions or a variation of an existing model (M4S?!? Knackers! It's just ANOTHER M4 with bits on it.) Note: I have nothing against any of the M16 variants as i've got two Colt Commandos myself. Link to post Share on other sites
michael_collins Posted October 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Still and all, its nice to know my aug is worth something now Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 Don't forget TM won't shelve the old AEGs, they've just ceased production, as with limited floor space and a wealth of new gear on the way out they need to room to produce other lines. My understanding is that Marui only produce several different AEG types at any one time in the factory (3 years ago I was told it was three.. but that has almost certainly changed now), then after making an alloted number they shift to the making other lines. A lot of their scopes and other accessories are not made by TM themselves, rather licensed from people like Tasco etc. Link to post Share on other sites
