Apologies if this is posted elsewhere but the China Gov't has forced the factories to close production and keep their heads down until their 60th Anniversary of Communism celebrations are over. Last time they did this for the Olympics, the delays were significant, some much nooted new guns like the MG34 never appeared and old favourites like the Tommy seem to have disappeared forever.
Don't hold your breath if you don't have one already I guess.

The CYMA Thompson and M14 have not disappeared, they are just begin bought up my larger companies (like CG, E-1, etc.) and repackaged/re-branded.
Ultimately there's a few places I'd stick my middle finger and inside a trigger guard is not one of them.

Damn those greedy companys...
Does anyone know if any M60's (Mk43's?) by A&K made it through before this happened?

Yes. M14, Tommygun and Glock. Three best designs. Such a loss.
*fruitcage* priceless, the stupid *suitcases* actually thought they had found 5 kilos of Columbian marching powder, and actually had a sniff of it off the safe zone table.

Even if those designs have just been bought up by larger companies or whatever, they have essentially still disappeared because there have been no new shipments of these designs from any company, be it Cyma or E-1 or anybody, in a couple of months.

Yeah - not wise to go asking difficult questions, or expressing your dissatisfaction to guys with REAL guns...

Good job I didn't pre-order that StG44.....
Free market forces alive and well in China. Shame....
Interesting how they need guys with guns to stop people working over there, they should just move the factory to Birmingham... They'd stop all by themselves then!
"Yowright, time for another kipper tay!" (see, brummy doesn't even type well).

Yo'roight Harborne moi 'ansome! Nowt wrong with being a carrot cruncher... Cornish types quite easily.
I was born in the midlands, spent nearly 30 years there. Then I saw sense... heheheheh. My folks are still up that way.
Glad to see this is slowing coming out of the woodwork. I'm still debating whether to get this. Its not quite my style, but would compliment the Kar98 and MP40 and Luger quite nicely. I think its one of those guns that is going to go on my B list.
MG42 next please.....
