Hudson have added a new page to their site for their U.S. M21 (gas blowback) Sniper Rifle. The new rifle is designed to use 134a gas, takes 20 rounds, weighs in at 4.6Kg, has an inner barrel length of 350mm and is semi automatic.. but more than that it’s blowback (that’s gonna be fun to play with). It’s JASG rated so very likely it’s over 1J in stock form. My own experience with Hudson gear has not been great, specifically the GBB products they’ve made so it will be very interesting to see the M21.
Their text describes that the first special edition will come with a fibreglass stock similar to the "Millan" version (I’m guessing that they mean that they are going to produce a SWS sniper version that Gale McMillan had a hand in the design of). They also list that the rotary bolt on this model works, picking up the BB and loading it into the hop chamber to give a highly realistic action, one that they are very proud of. The new M21 from Hudson is set for release sometime this year, and they will be updating their website with more news as soon as it’s available.
