For some reason I though that ICS had an L1A1 in the works but it's King Arms and Ares that make them. My bad.

I know a guy that deals with ares....and its not mach1.

they're expensive buggers though.

anyways we're getting off topic.

the grease gun is supposedly going to be released later this year.

No firm date for the M1 though.

An ICS real wood Garand would be nice but faux wood wouldn't be a total bummer. What I would like is a that the internal magagazine holds no more than 30 bbs and can fit in a M1923 belt.

Off topic. I have an Ares L1A1. It's a nice solid piece. The price was a bit much and getting extra mags wasn't easy either. I hope that WE will make a L1A1. Semi only w/ 20 rd mags and a decent blowback.

ad long as its a decent build, and looks good It can be all plastic for all I care.
and 30bbs sounds perfect maybe 20, I mean it is a garand and will probably be semi only.

a WE Fal would be amazing. and so far the only 2 companies I know of that make a decent L1A1/Fal is king arms and ares. i know CA makes the sa58 serries and star made a fal thing.....

Yeah I had three KA FN FAL long length para stock aegs last year.sold two of them. Very nice aegs. At least w/ the KA stuff you can add an RIS, scope mount and bipod if you desire. The only Ares L1A1 I could find was a scope mount.

Further off topic. Going to skirm the Ares M3A1 this weekend. LOL, All the batteries are charged.

Still debating about bringing the Zeta Lab Mosin Carbine.

Something about wood on a battle rifle makes sense to me.. Much more organic and feeling.

I suppose faux would would be ok as it would help with the weight issue. But it wouldnt be the same.

As much as would love a wood stock, I wouldn't mind having ABS and just getting a RS one and modding it.

What I want of an M1 is top feeding, without ejecting. Just make the clip/mag pop up like one or two cm, but without leaving the gun. Like, just for the ease of taking it out and reloading.

Don't get too excited about an ICS WW2 aeg like a Garand or M3. The announcement about an ICS FNC came back in 2007. Only now do they have afunctioning pre production model for show at conventions.

[Boyso]

Yeah.. Let's just hope G&G is quicker with their Kar98.

Would make something cool in the meanwhile

[shiftsup]

I hope that G & G doesn't rush the 98K like they did with their first try at the M14.. It probably won't be available until 2013 anyway. G & G announced the FN2000 back in 2007 too. IIRC they only became available in 2010.

Classic Army : USM2, Sten, MP44, MP40

[shiftsup]

That's good news from CA. But if you can make an M2 Carbine AEG why not make an M1 Carbine AEG?

[Boyso]

'Exactly.

I'm happy.

[shiftsup]

Maybe CA will go all balls out and make an M1A1 Carbine and a Sten MK V with real wood.....edit..and a.....suppressed grease gun (so I don't have to make one)
