Yeah I remember seeing these on ASW but did the usual "I'll get it later" I've never seen them anywhere else.

BTW, that Swiss Arms bag advertised on the Solware site (further down on that linked page) is PERFECT for Thompsons.
And I mean it could have been made for them. It has 3 velcro-fastening straps that are in exactly the right places to go around the butt, trigger guard, and muzzle.

As far as I know everywhere is out of stock of these at the moment, not sure if they`ll get anymore in. I`ve used mine half a dozen times at small skirmishes so far and its still going strong. I`ve been pleasantly surprised as I thought I would be seriously outgunned but didn`t really happen. For the money its an excellent first gun for someone looking to get into WW2 on a budget. Would be nice if the same manufacturer also brought out an MP40 based on the AGM one but in plastic :good:

Just heard back from action hobbies. They want to restock it but the chinese manufacturers can't give them a date for production yet.

Damn!, I'm looking at getting one of these mainly for the spares and the Drum mag for the Home Guard look, will have to keep my eyes on the sites for it again

"Yes you did, you invaded Poland..."

Yeah I've been keeping an eye out for these to surface again. Chances are they will somewhere, plastic mould tooling ain't cheap and they did sell out fast.

Bit of a necro post but I`ve just come across this critter again in a slightly diffent format ie: a clear receiver, and more expensive at £69.95. They have two models listed one with drum and one with stick mag.

I wonder how many people have been fooled by "Metal Receiver" into thinking the whole thing is metal.

Heh, well I don't think they will sell many on the basis of that video - what a shocking bit of salesmanship! Fails in every respect. Even the eye candy couldn't maintain a smile for a nanosecond. It was very much of the YouTube vogue of a 14 year old American kid unboxing a new phone and talking bollox for ten minutes. :slap: Sheesh.

Slightly irrelevant really ? UK airsofters have always known that once a gun reaches the UK it`s sometimes twice or even three times as much as it costs in HK.

yes but at 109$ for a similar gun to a cyma its cheaper than the lpeg rubbish being sold by, bb buns for less

Have another listen, I think you`ll find it`s $199.99, which, if and when it reaches the UK will be over £200. Hardly a good comparison with the lpeg Thompson. (I`ve still got my original in the loft which my grandson loves shooting in the back garden). 8)

My test (look on page 2 of this thread) gave around 250fps with a 0.2g BB.

BTW, Looks like Airsoft World are getting something similar in soon:
