With no box mag... you're looking at closer to $700 w/ boxmag and shipping.

Still a big drop though.

If I wasn't saving money for something else, I'd be all over the MP5A4.

I was just talking to some guys from Gamepod who where at my skirmish. They say that this price drop is to combat the threat of the A&K M249.

Oh that note: Anyone want a customized G36K? I'll sell it for fairly cheap. biggrin.gif
I would also sell my M14 or M1911. I'm dead serious. mellow.gif

Ok well I know one thing why were seeing price drops on Ca's. The prices are going to be lowered in like August or some time soon. And these stores having this major drop is I guess "Illegal" if they buy from Spartan. The prices are supposed to drop $10-$15 I heard, but these prices are way under minimal retail price. Probably needs to be reported to Spartan ASAP.

I dont know much about the whole Spartan CA thing in America, but IIRC its something like Spartan is the sole/official distributor for CA in America.

So why should it be reported to them if one of their retail customers has cut the price. If Spartan is telling its retailers what price to put, that is price fixing, and surely illegal in the USA?

it's none of SPartan's business how much one of their retailer's sells products at, so long as Spartan continues to get their cut.

I've seen a lot of US retailers cutting their prices on CA stuff- I've a suspicion its a summer thing- really push sales over summer, and you get a whole bunch of new custoerms who're going to be buying magazines, bbs, batteries etc, and that's where the REAL profit is for sellers and for spartan.

and saying all that- YAY!!! Kapowwe have an m15a2 rifle!!!! me getting one...

edit: DAMN! they have the g3 sar offizier for $229... that's smegging ridiculous...

Well, I think they have successfully combated the threat of the A&K M249, at least for me...

Oh, and I don't know how it works in the UK, but price fixing is very illegal here.

yeah, Spartan doesn't "price fix"

What they do is have a price which they sell to retailers, and THAT essentially determines what retailer can sell for regarding their profit margins.

I remember talking to Walking Wounded regarding this, and he was telling me his store actually made very little profit on the CA aegs they sold, due to the low price Spartan sold them to the retailers in the first place. BUT, if the store did want to make a profit, they had to get their prices at a certain level.

and damn, the m15a2 is sold out. SAR offizier it is... $229 for a RIS-loaded CA aeg. nuts, I tells ya!

Screw the A&K, at this price I'd much rather the CA.


EDIT: Just placed my order! YAY!

They are very reliable and safe. wink.gif

Please don't order all the M249s before I get any money sad.gif

However, I emailed Kapowwe and they are planning on making these their permanent prices ohmy.gif This may be a good idea, as I will be getting $290 of accessories from them with my M249.
