CA is releasing an M16A1 or M15A1 if you like and a M15 XM177 E2. www.classicarmy.com/productlist.jsp?gun_category=GUN&&gun_brand=DEFthis might give people who want a nam kit but dosn't like the plastic TM weapons, and are to cheap to buy WGC custom weapons an option. I want a XM177 E2, and some tigerstripes so i can change between regular infantry grunt and SF/SEAL kit

mango pointed out that the stock is wrong on the XM177. Intersting I carried one daily in country for a couple months and I can't say that I noticed the difference at least not from the pictures. The steel bodies will be nice. I have a marui XM and a Marui VN and I have been delighted with them.

the XM177 is a vietnam gun?
I cant wait to get the M15A1, even if it does have the wrong logo. I'd rather buy that than the TM due to external durability.

Yep, XM177's were the favorite of LRRPS, SEALS, and Officers.
Where's my trades? I want a gun with trades, and no crappy white trades either. Full blown Colt logos, with the prancing pony and all.

Trades of course is the biggest issue with importing airsoft guns. Even a bigger deal then the orange barrels and especially troublesome with Colt logo'd items. Nothing will get your rifle conficated at the border quicker then an exposed logo if inspected by Customs. The peel putty seems to work but it's really really risky.
I wouldn't want to see mao on the reciever group but I can live without the prancing horse. I do like seeing the military designations and serial numbers though.

One example is that mauser broom handle that cost 75 bux with out trades and easily double with trades. I have the non trade mark version and it feels like it has no soul the gun doesnt give me the warm fuzzy feeling the other trade marked guns give me. Its a shame the m1928 kit has no trades. -Gordak

I was thinking of having my M1928 reciver, (when it gets here) fully engraved with all the logos and numbers, I know someone that can do that for me.

now all we need is someone who can parkenize. i heard the parkenizing on the m1928 kit is something awful. tommygunner let me know how yours turns out because getting the kit is my new priority on the airsoft agenda.

I'm rather have no logos on the XM and VN then Armalite logos.
Or I could get a JAC with colt logos. I dont see how I can get like classics with colt logos but I cant get AEGs with colt logos. This is all very silly.

"This year's Shot Show in Orlando was a huge success. Thousands of attendees came by the Spartan Imports booth and checked out the latest offerings from Classic Army, as well as the current lineup of Airsoft guns from Classic Army. Also on display were models soon to be released this year including the CA SCAR, CA XM177 E2, CA M15A1 Vietnam, CA M14 Scout, CA M41 A3, CA M41 A4, CA SLR105 A1 Compact, CA SLR105 U, and CA SLR105 A1 Para! Other items of major interest were the M60s from Inokatsu, the 8mm Airsoft guns from Marushin, the Gas Blow Back handguns from KWA, and the AMP Tactical lineup of scopes, all of which we are distributing." www.airsoft-news.eu/news.phpSounds like they're coming out with SCARs, M14s, and SLR105s too.
