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:



Here is a picture of the CYMA RPK, which comes with a drum mag apparently:



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.

Mmmm sten am good.

Who is this getting the STEN in this country?

[Angry]

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?

[Jon L]

would assume a stick type down the stock tube like the shoot and scoot ones.

Still waiting on a Sterling SMG

And does the RPK have the reinforcing rails?

if you look closely it would appear so, although admittedly it's hard to tell.

I need to confirm, but apparently it should be a LiPo setup. (Yes, I know - a chinese clone company selling AEGs with LiPo batteries... hard to believe, but it could go either way.)

on the sten front could it be this one that was reported a while back on Airsoft-News.eu?

No it's not that one.That one has been released shortly followed by rumours of an AGM STEN & a GBB STEN to follow.

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.

[jond36]

sten no. RPK yes. I assume full metal and most likely real wood as well. Perhaps even a new Blowback model. Maybe CM052

[Jungle_Spectre]

Not many WWII reenactors watching this thread, huh?

The Sten has been a much requested replica for ages, the more affordable the better...

[[BS]_MARS]

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

[hymer]

RPK YES

Apparently not.

[jimbothepainter]

Lol we are lurking, just not making much noise about it, the AGM sten has been almost, nearly, soon to be here for months now
