Those shots certainly show a folding bayonet.

Airsoft Panda site seem to have them up for sale now. I must say from the pics it's a very nice looking piece of kit!
just noticed the little red "Out of Stock" logo at the bottom of the page 
id defo buy one of these when they come out

I would as well... though I'd be wishing it wasn't a carbine, but a full length rifle... and I'd lose the bayonet so it looked more like an M1938.
For what it is, it looks lovely... it's just the wrong thing. Bah!
Of course this is all price dependent!
Edit: price is there... $369.00
... That sounds like rather a lot... and probably too much for me!
Is that US dollars? If so that's only £233 (+ shipping & duties) so pretty cheap I'd have thought - looks to be a very well made bit of kit.
It'll probably end up being £300 ish after shipping and tax... which is okay for a nice looking rifle, but not an amount I'd want to spend on one that's not really what I'd want... After all a deact full length mosin can be just £120.
Ah I see, yes, if you want something that just looks like the real thing then the real thing is the cheapest option!
Well of course... Remember I have a PPSH already... which is a spot on gun for what we need. If I'm going to spend another £300 it wouldn't be on an M44 carbine, it'd be a full length earlier pattern mosin. £300 for a firing one of those (as nice as these ones look) wouldn't be an issue at all. £300 for a gun only used in late 44, no matter how pretty and nice, isn't really a good idea. It's not even as if it can be converted to be a full length mosin.
It's just yet again another gun that's VERY nice, but not what we wanted... On a par with the flipping Thompson M1928s which are all wrong, the D-boys K98s that are pretty much wall-hangers, the M1 carbines that need modifying to be WWII spec, etc, etc, etc...
Don't get me wrong... I hope that this is used by Ruskie players, it's just a shame they'll have to spend quite a bit of money on a gun that isn't ideal... yet again...
But what on earth is the pic to the bottom right trying to show? A CNC machine?
It's blatantly a track from a T-34, they're teasing us with their next release...
That does indeed look very nice, lets hope its not just another wall hanger. I could be very tempted by one myself; SVT for early war, M44 for late (and Vietnam) 
.
As Yith says a M1891/30 would be ideal or even an M38 but anything is not to be sniffed at. You can't blame them for making an M44 though, its probably all they've been able to get their hands on as nearly all MN sent to China etc were M44 spec.
Be interesting to see how it performs and if it is skirmashable because it certainly looks very nice.
AGM MP40 - AGM STG44 - CYMA Thompson M1A1 - WE P08 4 inch - Marushin M1 Carbine GBB - AGM Sten MkII
Definately looks nice. Be interesting to see how you load it, by the looks of the bottom plate on the mag you fit a thin mag of BB`s up into it ? 
Sods law Komrade. I spent a lot of time in the early 00's building very custom modern guns - only to see them released as production items a few months later. Pretty gut wrenching sometimes
As to price, well, I don't want to hazzard a guess really but I think Lardy is on the right lines. Z-L's RP7 400 USD price tag is very reasonable considering the work thats gone into it...
Yes I'm still crying at ploughing £700 into an early MP44 project that now is a useful collection of spares....mind you I did have one two years before the AGM ones arrived in storm , and at the time it was cheaper than the Shoei plus tank .
BW if anyone want 7 long mags for the CA54 conversions there sat here unlikely to see the light of day again .
Based on the new pics at airsoft panda, it looks like it's going to be a clone of the KTW....has anyone disassembled/upgraded a KTW yet?
It seems Zeta Labs have had some "feedback" on there first run and have already brought out a second version.
List of improvements:
•Silver Cocking handle
•Improvement hop-up chamber prevent BB backward when reload
•Zeta-Lab Mosin Nagant Leather & Linen Sling is included
and for the same price as the Version 1!

Its nice to see a company surport there products and make improvements, and with the BAR and PPSH on the way from Zeta things look promising!
Blimey, good of them to react so quickly. Is there a review anywhere yet?
I notice it says 300FPS for the UK version (along with Japan & Italy). Do you think someone should tell them the standard version is fine for the UK?
Here's a review on youtube...it's in French though so i don't understand it...
I literally just almost finished my custom one and this came out... I thought it was to be a while at least.

It looks very nice, until you see the rigmarole to load it.
