Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well
It is actually just a 6mm GBB Marushin. It recently became available in a danish shop for approx. £ 300. I would expect it to retail for a little less in UK, due to a higher Sales Tax in Denmark. It's not prohibitively expensive, but its not a bargain either, but at least it is easily avalable. It's a shame that still not avaliable with the proper straight 15 rounds magazine. Also, it has the bayonet lug, but that bothers me less than the magazines.
Edit:
1stLT beat me in posting a price, but at least my prediction regarding the level proved correct.
Had a look at one of these today, not my cup of tea but looks a decent gun. The larger mags apparently mean it will happily run on green gas or propane which should make it a bit more skirmishable in the winter.
as above the asg is a marushin not a copy, and its a m2 if you look at the photo closely has the semi/full fire selector meaning the curved mag and bayonet lug are correct for the model.
i have one of these and they dont have the ld2 hop system and should only be run on 134a as green/propane will crack the metal bolt, though there is a taiwan company doing steel bolt conversions.
mines 280fps on 134a and 350 on propane/green with good range and accuracy.
its a cracking metal and wood replica built to a very high standard.
It's a shame that still not avaliable with the proper straight 15 rounds magazine. Also, it has the bayonet lug, but that bothers me less than the magazines.
Supposedly the reason that the gun uses the Korean war era magazines is down to the amount of gas required to shoot the BB AND operate the blowback.
The smaller ww2 era magazine isnt big enough to hold enough gas to shoot and AND operate the blowback using traditional airsoft gas.
Have you seen this?

By comparing pics of a RS M1 carbine with the video of this gun on the marushin site, you can tell that the CO2 magazines are a little bit longer than the RS ones. I can only assume that the magazine can only be as small as the length of a standard 12g Co2 cartridge (maybe the smaller 8g CO2 cannisters dont give enough gas to get through one full magazine?).
This means that the magazines probably wont fit into WW2 M1 carbine magazine pouches, and if they do then it'll be within a bawhair.
