FarEast Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well sorry to disapoint all you conspiricy theorists out there but Tokyo Marui's gun will be two new models of the ever so popular M14. This time these will be in the style of the SOC 16 in black and OD sporting a sandstone finishing texture to the stock, it will also come with rail mounts. I have seen the finished product and i have to say it's very impressive, and what with the reliablity of the TM M14 over that of the G&G this is sure to put a dent in thier sales. Estimated date of release is next month and knowing the Japanese holiday season it might not be out for Christmas but with 100% certainty will be out for New Years! The price will be identical to that of the current full length M14's so again it's a win win situation. According to the people at Tokyo Marui they have also fixed some of the issues reported with the 1st generation m14's. I will be heading in to Tokyo tomorrow so i should have some pictures for you soon! P.S I have the new Glock 17 sitting on my lap right now......give me about 2 hours and i should have a report for you. Link to post Share on other sites
aznsk8s87 Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well, we knew about the black one, the OD version is new news, though. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
Basho Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 can't wait for the update, this is a nice sounding gun. Link to post Share on other sites
TXP Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Wow... we get another M14, thats really something "new" Well... maybe I expect to much from Marui. Things like real innovation not just 5 versions of the same gun. Link to post Share on other sites

FarEast Posted November 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 as *beep* as they are, G&G? VFC? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Points to Uber, VFC! But G&G 11 types of M16 variant, 3 M14's and a smattering of other things. I think TM is a lot better at innovating to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites
twiglet Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Oh well isuppose it could be worse it could be another armalite. Link to post Share on other sites
renegadecow Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Only ONE AEP to be released per year? Why, it makes me think that Tokyo Maruis Market Researchers reside under rocks! Thats the MP7 for 2006, maybe a TMP on 2007, Mac10 on 2008, and finally the VZ61 on 2009. This is not good, not good at all. Far East, you don't think you could bash some sense into Maruis' heads for us, could you? Link to post Share on other sites
Rec Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hmmm, this has been news for over two weeks, hasn't it? Link to post Share on other sites
The Saint Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Hmmm, this has been news for over two weeks, hasn't it? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Still good to know that it'll also be available in OD and that it'll be released before the New Years at the latest. Plus, this is FarEast, he'll get us more pictures and info than we can google up. I for one am glad that TM is making the TM14SOCOM, what with G&G's SOC16 being rather iffy. There are times for innovation, there are also times for just making things better. Link to post Share on other sites
DazJW Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Oh great, a ten inch Eagle. Any idea what order the AESMPs are coming out in? If the TMP isn't first I'll cry. Link to post Share on other sites

Pilko Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I know that we're running out of real steel weapons to make but this really is a bit of a dull choice. Oh well, I suppose it will be a bit more reliable than the G&G and they have already seen there is a market for it with the popularity of the G&G one. Link to post Share on other sites

bearcatf8f2 Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 "they have also fixed some of the issues reported with the 1st generation m14's. " What kind of fixes are these? I don't own an M14 but been drooling over one for a long time so I really want to know if I should get the SOCOM or the normal ones. Link to post Share on other sites

sekiryu Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 I have the normal one, and the only issue I have is that the little peice that follows under the chargin handle broke off. Anybody know the technical term for that please tell me. It's the thin strip that runs from under the selector switch all the way up to the front of the charging handle.

Things like real innovation not just 5 versions of the same gun. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> SOCOM'ing up a standard TM M14 would cost an extra $100+. Hooray to TM for making things more affordable. The black stock looks badass as well. I'm sure if TM were to make an M14 EBR even if it cost ~$100-200 more than standard, there would be quite a few people that would be happy to purchase even though it's just another variation of the same gun (seeing as how separate EBR conversion kits cost $450 to $1200).

doopydoo Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ok.... anyone know what the next NEW gun is going to be, then? Answers like SCAR, Stoner M63, AR70, CETME Model E, SC70, would be acceptable... Link to post Share on other sites
