Retailer currently selling them

Extract from airsoft-news.eu :

QUOTE
First pictures of King Arms' FN FAL conversion kit surfaced thanks to 2Roy. This kit is on preorder, price is listed as 565,000 Won (466.94 EUR). Caveat regarding pricing in Asia/Korea/Europe and USA still stands.
Kit certainly looks good and price is reasonable.


I wonder what the base gun is, Possibly a G3 variant? unsure.gif

I would have thought so as the two are very similar cosmetically. It could also be for armalites as an M4 could probably be rigged into it.

i wonder what magazines its gonna use ?

unless they bring out specific ones. G3 ones woudl look a bit ###### in a FAL, and M14 ones are too short.

the gun was 7.62 wasnt it ? so it wont be VN or FAMAS mag. the only 7.62 mags available at present that are even close are M14, G3, SR25.

the M14 mags are close but after measuring them against real SLR mags they are shorter and narrower as SW said !

the M16vn or Famas mags are completely the wrong size as the FAL was a rifle that was around when we had real bullets not this 5.56mm plinker stuff tongue.gif wink.gif

They had this on display at the last '06 Blackhole show (I thought Fareast would have a review of the show by now...wonder what happened). They told me it's for the Marui SG552.

Well it'll certainly make Marui happy. They can finally begin to shift the shed-loads of 552's that must be lying around their HQ!

on the website it says it will be released after November in HongKong. I expect price would be lower than this website. Somewhere around 300~400ish. Korean airsoft market is always more expensive than HongKong internetshops such as WGC. For instance, In Korea, TM New M4 usualy costs around about 450USD, while in WGC it is only around 240USD.

It also says KA will release gearbox for this kit, which is SIG series gearbox type.

I was almost excited, until I saw the price. I think it would be slightly cheaper to build a time machine, go back to the 70's, get fit, and then sign up.




Ah balls to that; where's my credit card?
