After the mention of the new Guay Guay GR300 (G&G’s copy of the ZM Weapons LR 300) I’ve had contact and unofficial word from the individuals responsible for that trademark in the USA to confirm that it is an unlicensed copy. A press release will be forthcoming at some point from ZM Weapons stateside.
My understanding is that Guay Guay were previously in talks with the license holders to make a licensed copy of the LR 300, but broke off talks and then decided to make it anyway just under a different name. Needless to say that there’s lots of unofficial copying that goes on in the Airsoft manufacturing scene, however when there’s any form of official dispute things can get a little sticky. For retailers and buyers in the USA at least it’s best to be aware that the G&G GR300 will most likely be highlighted as a trade dress infringement and will therefore very likely suffer from import seizures in the US.
On slightly happier news there’s news over at AD’s site that the fixed slide M93r from Maruzen will be out in July at around 90UKP.
Over at KSC there’s new versions of their M945 GBBs out, actually there’s three in total all coming under the “10th Anniversary Commemoration” (whatever that refers to). Each pistol variant features a lower rail, and there’s a new completion model, silver model and a two tone variant.
Now it’s difficult for me as I have to sound enthusiastic about three new pistols that are really just refinements of a previous model with not a huge deal changed in them, but there you go. If you were desperate for a competition M945 or a two tone model you’ll be happy. 
The lads at Airsoft Extreme have posted a review of the CA249 on their site. I promised Andrew over at AEX that I’d get the article that they’d submitted here online for them a while back, but it’s just been too busy to sort here (it will appear online shortly). You can find their article over on their pages (there’s also the usual good offers on gear there) in the meantime.
Over at Airsoft Scotland the complete Guay Guay M14 AEG can be found at the bargain price of 299. They don’t exactly praise the versions that they received initially, but the models that they are selling now have had new replacement parts fitted to cover unsavoury issues and each is tested before it’s shipped out. Basically if you’re after an M14 in the UK you stand less chance of receiving a pretty paperweight that smokes quietly on your desk. They also have the new Madbull launchers in stock at the moment.
At Action Sports Games they’ve posted details of CA’s new springs, and photos of the guys from ASG having some fun training with the French Police. They’ve also got some nice shots from Berget 4 mil-sim event too.
Over at Guarder there’s various new products, including new stocks for the M500 series, fatter grips for the M16 range, a range of new cylinders, new vests, and a replacement steel gearbox for the TOP M249. Coming soon there’s a leather sling for the M14, Elken scope (Elcan replica) and 1 1/2″ 3-Point Sling.
Over at J-Tech there’s a minor update with a new chest rig being made available called the “Commander – 6”, and looks to sport up to 6 fitted pouches.
Lastly (I have to stop somewhere sadly) LA GunShop have shots of a few new bits of kit including, an MGC 1911 and a new shotgun from KHC.
Due out on the 3rd of next month priced at 6,510 Yen, the shotgun comes with fixed hop and is fed from a box style magazine.
