There is a store in the US and A called Kapowwe.com. The owner is on some forums, and he said that the A&K M249 will be in stock at their store in less than 30 days. They confirmed that it DOES shoot 450 FPS with 20s, (so claims A&k, they haven't chronoed it yet), and has a autowinding box mag standard. They also said it should costs between 400 and 500 USD.

Is it metal? If it's not metal, I don't see why you'd buy it over a STAR.

It is supposed to be metal.

$400 to $500 at Kapowwe equals $300 to $400 everywhere else.

True also.


Humm... I might hold off spending my money and getting one of these.

[crimsonfalcon07]

And when we say metal, we mean stamped steel, not cheapo pot metal. I've been quite impressed with A&K's new stuff. I just hope they offer the SPR in conversion kit form as well, because I really want a cheaper top SPR ARMS 40 rail...

You mean from a HK place? For the US, it is usually considered quite cheap. Obviously if you ordered from gunners or redwolf, it would be cheaper.

No he means it will be like $300 in HK and $350-400 at other US sites.

Kapowwe is not know for their cheapness. I believe the AGM M14 is going for like $200?

It was $200 when it first was listed.

Yeah, they were WAY overpriced when they started. Now they have good prices and good inventory.

Um, no, no they don't. Most of their prices are at least $20 over their competitors. They also appear to have a crack addict writing their product descriptions.

[doopydoo]

Ok, so it's got a stamped steel reciever, 450 fps(I'll be replacing that with an m100, my field only allows 350 max for full auto), autowinding box mag, and it's a machine gun. If it's under $400, sign me up. When is it supposed to be out?

1/2 the price of the gun that was cloned from is pretty reasonable, but we don't know anything about the internals, hop up unit, etc. If it's just gonna be a $400 paperweight then it's definitely not worth the buy.
