As can be seen over here (Price crash) AA have discounted pretty much every CA gun so nows a good time for savings. Even the M249 is down to £449 from £699.... That SPR looks tempting too...

Minimis for £400 - i think thats about £20 above the trade price. Any idea why this is going on? Is it just a promotion, or are they trying to clear out the CA stock for some reason?

[newbkiller]

maybe it's because clones are selling really well and CA's have terrible performance now.

Maybe they want newer versions of classic army products, like the updated M4? So they have to clear the old stock, either that or there closing?

[Pinkfloyd]

Word on the street is that CA dealers are lowering their prices to compete with Chinese clones. I only wish Marui would do this.

The clone m249 is much better and cheeper than £400 so they say

[rambo11]

The clone m249 comes with a box mag batt and charger and is about £340 and knocks the b****x of the Ca 249.

Um, care to cite your source on that?

To be honest if I had the money I would pick up the Mk.II in a second at that price though I have also been wondering why exactly are they knocking the prices down and if it is due to clone competition will other retailers follow suit?

Even though it is a CLONE of the Classic Army m249? Surely it is the same (performance wise), aside from the price difference, how could it possibly be better?


That Classic Army mk1 m249 is calling me... would love to buy one and put a SUSAT or ELCAN on it

Why is the SL8 £30 more?


and I thought the A&K M249 was going to be £150 and *00fps

[Treadhead]

oooh... a whole fiver off an AUG... can't say that'll have me rushing out to buy one from them...

[GuzziHero]

If theyd knocked another 10-15 off the 177e2, I may have had to buy one.

Edit:
I see what you mean about HK shops lowering prices. A G&P La France for $330? Hmm...may just HAVE to have one

Well, the JG and Echo's are supposed to be TM clones buy they are upgraded
So I wouldn't be surprised if the clone SAW is "better"

[Sniperman15]

With the pgc gearbox of the ca, upgrading the spring only take s 30 seconds anyway, so I could care less if the A&K saw is upgraded.

[Exhumed]

60 quid off that AK74SU (SLR105U)!!
grrrr why does it have to be now!!!
~prays that the prices stay the same for a couple months til i can afford one~

[Lance Jackass]

I'll see what happens come october. But those are VERY nice prices on the 249's.

CA's have terrible performance now.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

really? CA guns have gone down in performance?
dunt belive yous!

[msx361]

I think he meant sales performance, not the actual gun performance.

[triggerhappyNL]

in recent months i hear loads of people complain about the CA trigger assembly. contact point seems to break often, and more often i keep hearing messages on broken gear-boxes. though i have no quotes i only hear these things on the gaming field, sorry....

[GuzziHero]

First hand experience: 2 CA trigger switches blown and my CQB SEAL broke the front off its GB in under 10k rounds. probably under 5k, actually.

Sadly, only CA make an M15a1 carbine for my Colt 9mm project, so I have to buy another...may as well go to Airsoft Armoury.
