Spoke to a retailer from the UK who told me some interesting info on some chinese stuff coming through. They also had a chinese delegation come through over the last week to take photos of WW2 era weapons up in Manchester, so they can start producing some more WW2 AEGs.
I am still trying to obtain the larger images, but basically, here is the AGM Sten, which apparently uses a modified M14 gearbox: (IMG:http://img191.imageshack.us/img191/5641/agmsten.jpg) Here is a picture of the CYMA RPK, which comes with a drum mag apparently: (IMG:http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/2161/cymarpk.jpg) I will try and sort out some larger pictures ASAP, but for now, they are better than nothing. Apparently the RPK and Sten are practically finished and should be released within the next 1 - 2 months. As for the MG42: Apparently the company making them has had a problem with the moulds and the front end keeps cracking rather easily, so they are still sorting that out. From what I could gather, an MG42 will be coming out sometime soon. The details are all a bit sketchy because the phone connection was bad, but I'll give the man a shout again and try clear up some of the finer details. Good news all around for the WW2 crowd.

I'd buy a cheap Sten, but it's not something i'd spent a lot on since it'd never get used.

Where does the battery on the Sten go?
And does the RPK have the reinforcing rails? -------------------- QUOTE (amateurstuntman @ Jan 23 2008, 12:38 AM) It attacks sleeping children and sucks them through it's ejection port where it gorges itself on their innocent souls. |

Honestly, if that Sten isn't to expensive and uses some form of common mags (despite accuracy, Thompson mags would be great), I'll get one. Stens are cool little guns.
I'm glad to see the RPK has a semi-accurate reciever for once. -------------------- QUOTE Oh no, the cat's out of the bag now, the national security of every country in the Western world has been compromised because we all now know exactly what super secret armour carrier is used by a civilian shooting instructor who works for a company which founded itself as an alternative to paracord and duct tape. mrk, watch your back dude, Chris Costa's beard is going to come and get you, I imagine in a similar way that Chuck Norris' might, and when it's done with you, Matt Johnson is going to make you a 750D Cordura bodybag (it's innovatively better than 500D and 1000D, naturally), in a khaki colour that's not quite green, not quite tan, not quite khaki. With grey trim, of course. -Certa Cito on Wannabe |

sten no. RPK yes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I assume full metal and most likely real wood as well. Perhaps even a new Blowback model. Maybe CM052 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)

Not many WWII reenactors watching this thread, huh? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
The Sten has been a much requested replica for ages, the more affordable the better... |

The Viva Sten uses AGM MP40 mags, which are $5 each. That sounds good to me.
