I don't know if this has been posted yet (tried searching but no results), but I've been linked to this site:
http://www.realsword.com.hk/index0.html
Seems to be a new Hong Kong based airsoft manufacturer. If what they say is true, they're going to make killer sales. High quality full metal bodies, and hopefully high quality internals.
Products:
'Type 97 AR'


'Type 56' (AK47?)


'Type 56-1' (AK47-S?)


Coming Soon:
'Type 97B Compact'



'Type 97 Sniper Rifle'



Anyone know anything more about them?

They look really nice. I emailed a few of the hong kong retailers to see if/when they'll be getting them in stock, although might have to wait a week for the reply what with it being chinese new year soon

[my_plague_666]

hmm, i notice theyre all chines RS guns too. dont seem to be many chinese RS replicas around.
oh and the type 56 technicaly isnt an AK47, its the chinese variant, one difference is the folding bayonet...i forget the rest

and im VERY much liking the type 97 sniper. reminds me of donut's XM90 frankengun

So that's pretty much it then. A folding bayo
(Btw the bayonet on the RS-56 is plastic. Not as safe as rubber, but still better than the aluminium one you can buy from them..)
Indeed. I too like the Sniper rifle. Tis teh buttsechs.

I hope it's a rubber bayonet on that Type 56 (though I doubt it as for some reason everyone wants to make dummy bayonets dangerous to actually use in skirmishing) and it is, GHAAA. But if their type 97 takes current STANAG mags like ICS, TM, STAR and MAG magazines, then hooray. If it only takes a mag that looks like a STANAG below but is different up top, then boo.

I want chinese cloners/manufacturers to move onto GBB's shortly... Esepcially if we get a Makarov or even a QSZ-92 out of it.

See my post above, Jack^
Bayonet is made of plastic, not rubber, which is still a tad dangerous.

Loving the Type 97's.

[srpg]

Anyway, I'm so getting the Type 97, and I hope they make the Type 95 too...

[Rob15]

Holy

That type 97 sniper is lovely

[my_plague_666]

i have decided, that full stock type 56 IS the sexiest AK47 replica i have EVER seen.
pleeeeeeease let this company be good pleeeeeeeeease

[GruntGuy]

Indeed. I hope they don't turn out to be like STAR, with rather nice externals, but pants internals.
"The RS type 56 7mm bearing metal gear box has special high strength gear sets, air seal nozzle and spring release device, for easy care and maintenance."

Type 97:
"The newly developed 7mm metal gear box, is suitable for the compact internal space caused by the original sizes design. It has air seal nozzle and spring releasing device, convenient for care and maintenance.
Gear box tail is designed with quick detachable spring guide base. Just like that the airsoft gun is for quick disassembly by hand, you can change the power spring by hand quickly according to rules on game spot."

Doesn't really delve too deeply into the internal details.

OH MY GOD SEXXXXX!@

[screamin_weasel]

the type 97 and the sniper version interest me lots. not so keen on the compact version, i had a p90, and it look slike the way you hold this is the same, which i didnt get on with.

[-Drake-]

lets hope the prices are sexy too.....

[codename 47]

I love the full stock AK. I seriously hope the internals are good because if so im considering getting one. Ive been looking for a new cheap-ish AEG.

[my_plague_666]

its a long shot, but seeing how enthusiastic they are about staying real steel accurate, do you guys recon the type 56 will have an ICS (and VFC i think) style full length bolt draw?

ohh, what are the prices going to be like? it looks like theyre going to be a high end brand rather than one of the more affordable brands like JG etc

[GruntGuy]

Yeah. Looks kinda like a CA type company. We'll just have to wait and see.

[x.black-jack.x]

This must be the best airsoft manufacturer website...
I havn't seen any 404 pages ^^

[GruntGuy]

Although they need to brush up on their English, but that's to be expected from a Chinese manufacturer eh? The CA site is quite nice, though unfortunately it doesn't show prices and some other details.
