They look nice but 531 USD????

Oh goody, more Armalites that look just like the others on the market. Hurrah.

I own three Armalite variants already so it's not like I don't like them, I just don't see anything original here.

Traditionally Star replicas are very well-finished externally, but with mixed experiences internally. My 2 star AEGs have been pretty good. Personally I'm going to wait for someone else to review one before I take the plunge. I was one of the first to buy a CA m4 and it was a very big mistake!

Same here, nothing new really is it.

well releasing all 11 variants in a oner rather than teasing them out with endless individual product launches is refreshing at least

WOW WHAT A NEW AND EXCITING LINE OF AEGS THAT HAVE NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE!

I see STAR is still run by a bunch of cracked-up smack-tards.

[TheKurodaVagrant]

You're all missing the point that the Star guns use real-spec buffer tubes, meaning the stocks should (hopefully) be more solid and, more importantly, easier to rear-wire. Also, they have working bolt releases, which translates into another fun thing to play with when bored.

I said hopefully, since I don't know what the lower receivers are made of. If it's machined solid T6061 aluminum or some similar grade, then I think they have something special here. They beat VFC's line, at least.

Personally, I was hoping for an announcement of their M60VN

.....with a caca box mag that will require complete rework

Is anyone else not able to access RedWolf?

Is anyone else not able to access RedWolf?

Yeah, I dont think its working! It has happened before.

Is anyone else not able to access RedWolf?

me neither

[twiglet]

Great it's finally happened, companys have produced so many damned armalites that its had the same affect as a DOS attack well done.

[Angry]

Why the hell can't they just get on with their L1A1 and SCAR?!

[Magsz]

Because its very easy for a company to slap a bunch of parts onto a rifle and call it different.

Now, having said that, these star ar15 variants do look extremely nice and they offer a couple things that no other variant does out of the box, namely the large diameter ball bearings in the box and the unique lower reciever. I dont think there is a stones throw in hell that the lowers are cnc'd forged aluminum but who knows...lol

For the people that cant afford ptw's or dont want to spend that kind of money on something like that, the star offers a fairly decent alternative. Also, for the guys out there that are absolutely anal about details, the star bodies have some really neat looking roll pins and the trademarks are etched rather well.

PS, i cant access redwolf either...yay!

Their L85 was a bit more original than most companies, if indeed you're saying that STAR isn't original... honestly I'm not sure what I'm meant to glean from this statement other than an insult directed at STAR.

[HybridFox]

Seems like the RW website is down....

Star's SCAR should be interesting though.

[Magsz]

Meh, is stars scar going to offer anything that the VFC doesnt already? Most likely no but only time will tell.

[Sale]

Then again if companies didn't produce these models, people would be sending them emails to make that peculiar "A8Z11"-variant of a standard model, because they replicate a team of soldiers from an unknown country who adopted the same weapon with different markings...

Or, we may have people who like a certain brand and stick to it. That's why all the brands want to make their own version of the bog standard M4A1.

I like some of the STAR innovations like the quick change spring, solid connection between the gearbox and hop-up, and real spec buffer tubes. If the receivers are indeed machined (even from billet, not necessarily forging,) instead of cast, they could be very much worth it for the shells alone.

Redwolf site seems to be back up now.

ME... WANT... MASADA!!! HURGH

ME... WANT... MASADA!!! HURGH

Go whine about that elsewhere. If Star doesn't mess up these AEGs (heh,) then I think they might have something here.
