I also saw this earlier and was like (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)
No info on the brand so have no idea on the internals, but for £300 might be worth the risk (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) -------------------- |

I seen one of these floating about the forum actually, and the guy wanted a heck of a lot more than £300 for it iirc.
Personally APS-2 internals = Fail! So, it is essentially a big ugly paperweight. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) -------------------- FS: Non-PTS Magpul UBR in Black

Yeah these are new. It used to be a conversion kit you dropped APS2 internals into, but now its a completed rifle. The older one fetches near the 1000 mark I think.

the ACM L96 series uses the APS2 internals & practically everyone & his mother uses one (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
can't wait till someone who ships them outside of UK sells them! |

I just don't understand why not make it from VSR internals... i'm sure it wouldn't be that difficult if it can be done with APS-2 stuff. Yeah, fair enough it would still be heavy, impractical and look ugly but at least it could shoot well, that might be some consolation. Where as now it is heavy, impractical, looks ugly and doesn't shoot great. I know which i'd prefer. I am biased though, APS-2 just never worked out for me... so much work, so much money and it was still rather pish. Might've just been my luck though, so i'll leave it there (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) -------------------- FS: Non-PTS Magpul UBR in Black

this will only be usefull for a while, as said they will take aps l96 parts but only some, so unless they release upgraded cylinders your screwed if the origional breaks.
as most places stoped making aps2 upgrade parts due to the rifle being discontinued, and the l96 cylinder is different and wont fit in a aps2 designed gun, due to the different bolthandle. also these are the worst looking barretts and are totaly impractical for skirmishing |

Friend of mine had one of the PWD M99's. Nice looking piece of kit, but bloody impractical to skirmish with - not to mention the instant rust as soon as it even spotted a single drop of rain.
Trigger feel was ###### due to the remote linkage, and due to the inability to wrap your thumb round the back of the bolt it had a habit of snapping the bolt handle stud off the back of the cylinder when you cocked it with a strong spring in it. Still, as mentioned before, it scared the *suitcase* out of n00bs lol This post has been edited by QQexDERA: Jun 12 2009, 02:22 PM --------------------  - AFRA (All Fronts Reenactment Association)The above post is purely my point of view, and may not represent any organisation I am associated with... |
