First Factory have posted details on their website that the MP40 is now listed for release on March 17.. hmm that release date is getting closer and closer to April 1st you know. LA Gunshop have the release date as the 16th (but even given the 24hours.. it’s still due out in mid-March), and will also have on sale 50 spare magazines in for the new AEG.
Over at Freedom Art there’s news of some styled Desert Eagle grips from them. The new grip style allows for varying styled medallion type affairs to be added inset into the grip panel and they have three versions available..
The three scultured styles were all made on a limited basis by an artist specifically for Freedom Art and named “The Angel”, “The Fighter”, and “The Scorpion”. Price for the grips is 12,600 Yen per set.
Meanwhile at Guarder there’s news of two new receivers. These are based ont he same receiver that we all know now, but have custom markings. COLT AR-15A3 and COLT Match Target. You’ll have to look close to see the differences as basically all that has chanhed is the text. True it’s not hugely new and exciting (hence not on its own news post), but anything that gives a greater choice and allows someone to make their gear more individual is always a good idea. Both receiver types are priced at 150USD.
Over at Mojii (Sanken) they have a series of new and pretty unique looking chunky mag bumpers in for the Tokyo Marui Hi-Capa pistol made by Shooters Design.
It seems a full competition ready TM Hi-Capa based pistol is a highly viable product now. If there’s a part for the 5.1 you’re after give it a couple of months and that should be out too at this rate.
Echigoya Japan have added to their pages news of two WA pistols in stock (the SCW Wilson Combat and a Silver Beretta M92FS ‘Elite’ IA) and a handy mag-pull modified M16 magazine from Access Overseas.
Access Overseas import real parts and accessories into mainland Japan, so the magpull attachment is almost certainly real and not a replica.
Oh if you’re after a real Russian Cobra Red Dot scope, AirsoftScotland have one lonely model for sale on their pages. It’s second hand but looks unabused and is a genuine Soviet issue model. Not bad at 90 for a decent mil-spec red dot scope.
I’m not quite sure how I missed it before, but if you’re in love with your M500 but want a RIS unit for it GB-Tech have released a rail frame suitable for the Marushin mossberg M500 series. The new frame is out over at Boom Arms now priced at 90USD.
