VFC copy?

[Svack]

not sure, but it looks lovely!

[DarkLite]

Not a VFC clone - internally the A&K M60s and such will use their CA style M249 gearboxes.

My word thats nice, any news of arrival times in the uk?

[TwinTurboCH]

Damn, that's tasty, I gotta get me one of those

[1st_shooter]

i wonder how much they are gonna cost overall, a certain company is staking 20$ deposits of them but cant list them for sale because of A&K's rules apparently.

[NeoVeNoM]

I know how much it is, and looking at it makes every cheap dollar you pay for it, worth it.

[tbsix]

supposedly $280 retail.....nice price!!!

I think I might have to get one of those to sit next to my saw

[Frontiers]

he sure loves to sell things that he dont have hehe where is AKMS? that was coming soon in his page

[Pablo]

Time to sell a few guns off to make room I reckon. Of course, if anyone wants to send me one to review...

Yeah well, I can dream can't I?

I hope the finishing on the metal parts is more like in the last pic. If its like in the first one we got ourselves the most bling-bling pimp gun out there.

And 280$!? Ill wait till it settles down to 200-240$, like the M249s did.

EDIT: The "!?" stands for awesome, as it costs even less than the M249s when they came out. Im not complaning, Im just saying I will wait to buy this as the price will surely go down after half a year or so. 280$ is amazing, but 230$ would be awesomer.

Thanks A&K!!

P.S. I hope it doesnt weigh too much. The best thing about my STAR Mk43 was the fact that it was so light and maneuverable.

ok, guess i will expect you to complain about anything more than $1 i suppose.

[Habakure]

That thing looks shagtatsic, looks like the M249 will be getting retired for this beast and a new "MAC" impression, better get workin on me tan.

MK43 + tigerstripe BDU + Black & Green painted face = epic win.
All we need now is monsoons in the summer.

Btw I didn't know "awesomer" is actually a word. I thought in English it's "more awesome".
but then again, it's not my native language. Do want to know though.

[Pablo]

It still is china goods you know.

...and if it's as good as their M249, it'll be fantastic. I just hope the magazine feeds properly, as aftermarket mags aren't so readily available at the moment. Still, I'm sure I'll be able to fettle any bugs out of it.

[CKinnerley]

That looks a bit of a beast to try and lug around the skirmish field, and with the boxmag sticking out that far a little unwieldy in terms of actually reaching the fore grip. That said, it also looks intimidating as hell.
