how much does that cost? and what difference does "CNC" gonna make? I heard a lot people bragging their airsoft toys are made by CNC but I've no idea what that means. It looks pretty tempting though, and I was planning to have a L96ish rifle anyway. 5 stars (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

cnc isnt going to make much of a difference, except that they will most likely charge you twice as much for a gun thats just as unreliable as the origional.
unless they have made alot of changes i wouldnt bother personaly |

yup, unless this can get close to 500fps on green (which the originals really can't here in the UK) then this is going to be another beautiful wall hanger.
like my old 338 and DSR-1. -------------------- |

but this one comes with tan color, people will recognize it as L115a3 which is a big plus for me. As far as it doesn't cost more than a DSR, I'm gonna have it, definitely.

(this is airsoft remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) ) I'm concern about the weight. I know the original .338 is heavy, I have used it serveral times. Does CNC gonna give it extra weight? I can't skirmish with that thing if it's even heavier and worst, I'm not sure the sling swivel can handle the weight. If it breaks, then my heart is broken (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) -------------------- |

I depends what the origional was made off. CNC is just the manufacturing process, so if the origional was made of the same material it should be the same weight.

It takes a lot of precision to produce. But that's up to machines now. The cheaper way of making parts is with molds, you know, die casting.

So will the scope be as *suitcase*-y as the MAR on their TAR21? And will bits of the gun start falling off by itself before you even touch it? Maybe you could snipe with this gun when it decides to spit some bit of its insides out at high speeds towards yr target along with the BB?

well.. that's a relief. Does anyone know the ETA of the release date? I will be the first to buy this before it runs out of stock. (unless it's incredibily over priced)

the scope is excluded punkypink (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
if you want a good one, take the King arms one (about 80 us$) (altough the scope is a .308 one, not a 338 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) ) This post has been edited by Forze: Jun 24 2009, 05:07 PM |

I thought they bankrupted... besides, their barrel is missing muzzle break, and the magazine is fugly (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) No way I'm getting a tanaka again, I had a M700.

I'm after an L96, but I reckon I'm going to wait and see what TMs offering is like before choosing.

I'd wait for the TM... Obviously not as good looking, but perhaps is more usable as a platform...
