This video is dated sept1, hopefully its not a repost (i searched and didnt find it)

Now i have long known about the shortage of chinese items being because of the factory shut downs... In the past these things have blow over but i guess its for good this time. However my question to you guys, if anyone knows. Is what is the reason for shortages of NON chinese items? Why are things like CA/TM and half the VFC line unobtainable? I guess that the advent of Heckler and Koch licensing, cease and desist orders, and the discontinuance of specific guns i like explains CA... But where is most of the TM stock at? And are the VFC scars just that popular/ under produced that it makes the problem seem bigger than it is?

For those who dont know what the effects of this are, this most likely means jg, well, agm, dboy ect will not be coming back around. Uncompany has recently restocked on CYMA and has new cyma items, so they seem to be fine. A&K seems to be relocating? Echo 1 might find a way to source out their weapons from some one else. They seem to be coming out with new items, but older ones are unavailable. If you have a gun on order, id suggest canceling it. If its something rare (like a agm WW II gun) you might want to hold out and see if you get one of the last ones... This just goes to show that evikes little PR campaign was pretty much a joke.

Just thought, as a heads up for everyone, that i would post this here instead of the real steal section...

Scottsdale Gun Club has 2 types of smoke grenades for sale. Both types are made by a company called ALS... There is a military looking m-18 type, it comes in white, yellow, and red for $49.99, the discharge for 30 seconds. ALS only shows this silver model, however all of the ones at scottsdale were the standard military green with "smoke _____" and the color listed

The other kind is a Mini pocket smoke grenade, it comes in white and red (i only saw white there, but they could have been behind the ones up front). This model discharges for 20 seconds, the price is $39.99.

The cost is a little much for JUST an airsoft game if you ask me, however i last saw smoke grenades for $80 a piece at a gun show. I want to pick up a couple of each but i dont think ill ever be popping them in a game. I want to get a red and yellow full size m18, and two of the pocket ones just to have them.

The mini pocket ones would be the only one economic enough for airsoft use in my opinion. The one problem is that a white smoke screen might alert people to the area thinking there is a brush fire. I also specifically asked if they were LE only, and i was told no, they were not.

I hope this is mostly new news to everyone, i found these searching G&Ps site the other day... All 3 guns are listed under coming soon and in progress...

The Mk23 Lmg might be old news to some of you guys, but i have my reasons for posting it. When first announced the rifle was in two versions. A full model, and a "conversion kit" of some sort... what weapon it was for i have no idea, it could have been a m16/m4, maybe a different squad weapon. Why Ive dug it up is because i thought it had surely been mothballed... However since they had updated their site, adding more Vietnam weapons, and only removing the "conversion kit" mk23 from their line up, one could only hope that the gun is just still "in progress" and some what time consuming in the RD department. I would like to think we'd see it soon. My only fear is the cost... The largest weapons from G&P are pretty pricey, and this one could be the most expensive. I would definitely sacrifice a weapon to be able to afford it if i had to. If it does come out, ill be the happiest person around here for months... and that's a lot of happy for me:)

The car 15 is great. It is an ACTUAL car15 too. Alot of times the m16/m4 family names get lost in all the different "codes"... I personally prefer the xm177e2 series for Vietnam. However i think this is the first car15 since the TM model half a decade ago or more. It will be nice to get some more m16a1 bodies on the market, especially all metal ones. There appears to maybe be a Gas model as well, but its hard to say... guessing from the curved mag (their gas mags are curved, and right above the car in the product list) and the existence of other gas m16 rifles in their product line the second model is gas.

I have a fairly new but used Ca SLR 105 for sale. Its just time for a different gun/different set up. I need to take a break for a while so im not looking for any trades.

This thing has seen 5 games total and some backyard plinking. It has seen probably 8000 rounds go through it total? I have two highcap mags for it. Lip that the mag catches on, on one of them, is cracked on one side, repaired it with super glue. It didnt crack all the way off though.

Also, one of the screws under the gun just behind the forgrip by the mag well is gone. Noticed it after last game.

Its got some wear here and there on the butt plate, few nicks and scratches. Just looks like its been in the field a bit is all. I have pictures. if you need them. The gun works great.

So, you get the Gun, 2 mags, and one 8.4v 3300 MAH NImH battery. All were purchased at the same time by the way. Im asking $280 pick up, $300 shipped. I can throw in some soviet grenade pouches too i think, i should have a few lying around.

I live in maricopa, but i work in tempe and go to school in mesa, so im sure we could work out a delivery and that would save you some money, and me some time.


P.S. If you want pictures, Let me know. No one under 18 please. And sorry if this is a bit choppy, its been a long day.

I saw this new gun whilest checking out Hkpro. I thought it was pretty cool. Its based off their 416 project. It comes in a long version and shorter carbine version. It also has its own polymer mags or it can take g3 mags too. Sadly, i dont think the civilian market will ever see the weapon. It would make an awesome AEG project though...

I was wondering what the largest barrel i could fit in my MP5sd is? I want to run it to the end of the silencer but im not sure what size to use. I calculated that i could use a 400mm, but that was planning on the fact that the stock mp5 barrel is 300mm, however i think it might be less... Would the shorter (368mm i believe) M4 barrel be the kind i actually need?

You dont have to be 18 to purchase acessories at Jungle Toy do you?  Im gonna head up there to get a mag or two, maybe a battery and a mini/large adapter, and possibly a scope mount....

I would assume you dont have to be 18 to buy that stuff, But i just want to check as ive never been in there before (get most of my stuff online.)

I was wondering what you guys thought was the best gas 1911 syle GBB pistol for under 100 dollars.

I have been looking at KWC 1911's but i just havent heard much about them.


Also, if i wanted to use propane... Will it work on most gas pistols? Specifically would it work on a HFC Mauser m712/c96 ?
