Would be nice if they mentioned retailers who will carry these as their retailer locater cannot find any stores within 500 miles of me.

Anyone know if they'll release a 6mm version? 8mm can be kinda pricey in the ammo dept.

Could anyone tell me what will be the options for all the HK/european airsofters to get one of these export versions ?
From the few players i know , a green gaz version of the M500 would become a best seller here in France ...
Please Keep us posted on release dates, prices and availability anyway, I'd really like to find a way to get a M2.
thanks for the news,
HG.

Dude... didn't you just get one!?!!
I can't imagine these soon to be released ones would cost much more than $300 as the ones at AEX cost about that much (and they were imports). Personally, I'd rather have a 6mm version. Let me know if you want to get rid of yours.

Haven't read the original press release, but it could be a marketing spin... I doubt Spartan would be the exclusive retailer of these things all over the world.

it would cost a boatload for spartan to pay an intern to put drips of super glue into the bleed valves in the shotguns
I mean it might cost 20 bucks to do a hundred! :X

She stood tall and majestic. She radiated fury. She shouted: "Who has disturbed me?" But then, anger expelled, she felt the sadness beneath; she let her breath fall softly, like a sigh, like ashes floating gently on the wind.
She couldn't understand why they chose to flirt so closely with the death of the world.

lol i never had problems using green gas on my old marushin m500...
Maybe they deactivated the relief valve? Filling the relief valve with epoxy or super glue seems like a very common approach to making the M500 Green Gas usable. Here's an excellent review (including description of how to "fix" the stock gun for Green Gas).
Just good to see these back on the market. To me, Airsoft Shotguns should spray BBs instead of shooting 'em one at a time.

*Fruitcage* that, will they "ping"??
I for one would love an upgraded M1 that is skirmish worthy. I have the stock Marushin, but it's not practical for a game.

Same here, but I doubt it. The regular M1 is $430 from Redwolf before shipping. I remember seeing the price on the Garand before the gas it used or the how fast it shot. The M2, maybe, but there are about 20 other things I'd rather have. Overall pretty meh, if you ask me. I'd buy one of those C96 GBBs or that MP40 running on green, though.

It's not as though Redwolf is the cheapest every time.
Spartan has the CA M14s for FAR below RW's pricing.

Spartan doesn't even have the CA M14s yet so how can you tell us something about their pricing?
<-- That's a perch http://www.airsoft-verband.ch/
So, if you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team
