250$ in China or UK?
I was talking to my sales rep from Palco yesterday. Palco is a US division for Cybergun airsoft.
Cybergun........Grrrrrrrrrrr.............bunch of money-grabbing thieving bastards 
When we were a Kingdom it was run by a King
When we were an Empire it was run by an Empress
Now we're a country we're run by a..........
dont hold back jay.....
Oh believe me, I *am* holding back - otherwise you'd get the whole rant about Cybergun/3PSA, how the whole story of licensing started in Airsoft, and how the blame can be laid squarely at the feet of a complete fuckwit of a Brit.

please tell mate, i am sure i am not the only one who would love to know why yet again the people of this island pay more than anyone else in the free world for the same stuff. name and shame.
Well, I'm looking forward to seeing the pics, have to admit I am interested in getting one.
right, so do you know if it comes with a drum mag or for want of a better description, a stick mag?
Excellent. Wonder could it be used for ppsh conversions.
Would this be it by any chance?
If it is, it looks like it's got the incorrect selector switches, no top bolt and the wrong sights 
And the upper reciever is not square like the real one, it looks like they just slapped a 1921 front assembly on an M1a1 body with a lyman sight :/
Yup, thats the M1A1 stock as well and the rarely used 100 round drum mag.
Soz, it looks RUBBISH.
Heh, its just an M1A1 with a M1928 barrel and foregrip. What a waste of effort.
Yer looks like they have just taken there M1A1's and stuck other bit on it.
Maybe... but its a crying shame they couldn't some minor research and get it right, isn't it?
its all about money boys! if i was a big supplier i would be looking to try and make more money by spending as little as poss too, cant blame them, if you are all gonna just slag them off why dont you spend the money and make one!
as for the gun, it has the wrong stock and reciever to be a correct 1928, "but" there are pics of mixed guns and maybee they used one as reference?
but at least its good enough for airsoft 
and isnt too much money, i wont go in to the french shite i paid for ! he he

The point is they haven't made one have they... They've just made yet another abortion of a gun. Its probably copied from the rubbish in several computer games.
Ok so its not an exact replica that would convince a re-enactor... But as has been stated on this thread, no engineering skills required as it shoots out of the box (Ive seen the AZR 1928 kit and the amount of work that Mac had to do to make it work) , will be available at a price that most players can afford or save up for easily and (IMHO) is surely a lot better than a modern gun with a bit of scrim wrapped around it for the game we play.
Hurrah for a company that is trying to do something for WW2 airsoft.
Sorry mate, you're not going to convince me. Its a lazy attempt to make a quick buck.
If they honestly wanted to do something for WW2 airsoft then they'd actually put a bit of effort in.
then back to my point AGAIN!! they are a business trying to make money! and in a bad economic period too,I know how much money went into just the barrel mould for this gun, can see why they went with the M1A1 reciever and stock, its IS a shame they diddnt do a new one, but it is down to money at the end of the day.
why dont you allways stop moaning about it and do something more productive to change it, like do it your self?
I am trying! with the stens and SMLE's but, had so much negativity dont no if i will bother any more. there are about 10 people on here who have shown great interest and even construcive ideas, who i would gladly make them for, I am not making them to make money, I wont!
well theres my rant out of the way for sunday!
Plenty of people have tried to make their own and they've in general done a good job. However they've never tried to deceive people into believing that they have a 1928 if all they've got is an M1A1 with a 1928 style barrel and an abortion of a drum mag.
However you and Warren and the others when you make a gun, you make it right. You don't half do it.
The 1928 has been a fecking nightmare. First we have the SUPERB CAW/Mosquito molds kit that for some reason was stopped production. I was so unbelievably lucky to get one of those. They were promising a Drum mag for that but it never was delivered.
Then we have several kits proclaiming to be full 1928 ones, but just being the barrel. Then the AZR ones that promised so much but the quality was so low. Now we have CYMA trying and also getting it wrong.
It really does beggar belief. That this one gun can be got so wrong so many times. Its not as though there's not pictures of proper 1928s out there!
My venom on this really is because the manufacturers just don't seem to want to put any effort into getting it right and CYMA aren't the first.
I think that what you are doing with the Sten MkIIs and SMLEs is great. I'm not convinced about the use of fibre glass, but I'm willing to be converted when I see one. You've got to remember I already own one of Warren's superb No4's and I'd have to sell that to get an SMLE. Selling a full wood/metal gun for a fibre glass one is not something I'd like to do.
I'd be ordering a Sten MkII off you as well if it wasn't that I've already got a friend making me one.
