looks absolutely nothing like a REC-7 , i like the REC-7 , and would buy one "if" one came out.

[Victory]

Because of the lack of SIR system?

Bah, don't let that get you down.

Just ask this guy:



He seems to like his without the SIR.

What the hell? There isnt a single correct part, 'cept for the body and grip: wrong stock, wrong handguard, wrong barrel, wrong sights, .... and the markings are hideous (as are the real ones). They just took different chinese accesories that have been on the market for quite a tome now, slapped them together and got Barrett to allow them to use their name.

That Zombie Stryker, something about it makes me warm in side, I feel dirty for saying this. Am tempted to get it.

[Skarclaw]

Quite possibly the most boring airsoft news story ever.

[my_plague_666]

the REC7 looks like just another armalite to me. its like deja-vu

as for the other thing, it looks like a stubby killer tried to swallow a whole MP5 swordfish and couldnt quite fit it all.

too late to edit, and only just realised.
what in god's name is a zombat?

[Mig1]

Wow. I opened this thread thinking I may need to get another AR.... But alas, I was quite let down by the appalling rendition.

Best not to ask, but... They are spoken of in the Necrowobicon. They lay unliving, unsleeping, in their burrows beneath the Australian continent, waiting for the time when the stars are right, and they can arise... to feed on humanity!

Don't look at the eyes!

[uscmCorps]

Does anyone recognize the gas block/front sight? Is it a Barret Proprietary piece? That's the only thing I can't source. It looks like a cross between the PWS Piston System and the YHM Front Flip Sight Tower.

I can see Echo1 struggling to source the SIR system and the gas block. But the fact that they couldn't get either the barrel or the stock right is pretty pathetic (especially the stock). I'm not a huge fan of those trademarks... but if you black out some of the lower nomenclature markings, it could be passable.

Hypothetically, you could take Echo1's REC-7, ditch the front end and the stock... replace the stock with a buffer tube + LEO collapsible stock... replace the front end with a A.R.M.S. #58M-CV Mid-length S.I.R. System + a Madbull Dissipator 16 inch Outer Barrel. The only thing that's an uncertainty is the gas block/front sight. I guess I can use a YHM Front Flip Sight Tower for the time being or wait for someone to make a replica of the PWS Piston System...

[tosuzu]

Hmmm a swordfish style front for the m4 from echo1. I wonder if they would sell the "ZOMBAT STRYKER M4 FLASH HIDER" separate. I would kinda be interested if they did.

[Zman]

Chas. he said without the SIR. he wasnt saying that it was a SIR

I am so dissapointed. The REC-7 is merely a remarked M-16. Wrong gas block. They could get away with the wrong RAS and stock, but the lack of gas block/piston is a non-seller. Oh well, at least I can save my money now.

[Mig1]

You could probably get this to work and give you a reasonably close facsimile to a REC7

Please don't quote pics. And quoting the rest of his post was unnecessary too. It just wastes thread space and is pretty redundant. Unless it really needs to be quoted... just chime in with your thoughts. We all know what the topic is about afterall.

Good find. That's similar. Had I not seen that the sight folds backwards instead of forwards (like the Hk416), I would have said it was very passable. On the plus side, looking over at Barrett's site and at the REC-7 PDF manual, it appears that the REC-7 can also come with a PWS Piston type system instead of the gas block / front sight combo.

From Barrett's sight:






However... if using the HK416 sight block you kept the sight deployed, I think it'd be good enough to pass for the REC-7.

The Zombat Stryker (Zombat? Muppetry) would look much better if it was based on a LR300 with an M203 mounted on it. If I can figure out how to convert my GR300L to prove that, I will.

[H.U.N.K]

Wow I really like that packaging, kinda refreshing to see such an illustration after all the ###### packaging we usually see.

[Victory]

Yeah, you can definetally make Echo1's REC7 look more like a REC7. No doubt about that one. (Too bad VFC discontinued their M468 kit, as it would greatly help those without it.)

However, it's a plastic body. I wouldn't invest much in it for this reason alone.

Still kinda' want one anyway, though, heh.

-Vic

(Speaking of which, I asked Echo1 for a review sample. They politely turned me down. [My 468 will be miles better, anyway, hehe. XD])

[masakarijoe]

heinous. absolutely heinous.
ECHO1 YOU SUCK. ALOT. F*** YOU
that ###### is depressing.
