I will look for hopefully some additional source information at the Shotshow in Vegas on not only the BAR but any other cool new goodies. There is supposed to be good representation of airsoft items there this year

"matrix" doesn't make guns, or BBs or anything else. It's a rebrand of another company... I have no idea what company this actually is... but at least it's not $1,200 and impossible to find. I figure even if the gearbox has to get reworked... it's still worth the $270.

Yup, this is a priority for me defiantly. But evike.com doesn't always have the best ETA dates to me knowledge. So who knows.

As a limited edition, prepare for the mags and accessories to be short lived, just like the VFC. Save money for spare mags too.
It was a pain in the ass getting the 14 magazines I have for my VFC. Almost had 15....

limited i would think until whatever company is actually making it sees how fast they sell out of the first stock sent out

Yeah who gives a SH*T about ETA.. The fact that new guns are being offered WITH bi-pods and extra mag is a Deal and i think thats why its an exclusive. The gun will probably be around for a long time, cosidering the 300$ price tag, The execsories is what make the "Exclusive". And to those who feel doubtful in EVIKE or MATRIX, both are great, Nearly every AEG ive bought was through Evike. Matrix is good too, id prefer to buy through there products because they reduce prices and keep factory quality. Thats my opinion of the two, and this BAR will be good!

It will be worth the wait! That second week in March can't come soon enough. I am in agreement to the not knowing much about the company, so taking the chance that it is a wall hanger. At this price it's still worth it. I'm more concerned with the handling it in the woods. It is longer, heavier and bulkyer than anyother AS gun. I have noticed with my Garand so some extra care will have to be taken with the BAR in the field. Already making plans!

limited i would think until whatever company is actually making it sees how fast they sell out of the first stock sent out One would think VFC would of done that then... I wouldn't assume the magazines and accessories will be abundant, I hope they are, because I'll be stocking up on them if they are compatible with the VFC, but at the same time there are tons of VFC owners who will do the same thing and if the limited edition BAR is in fact limited, it only adds to the competition for the mags etc.

I'm very confused. As far as I know, Matrix does not make guns, only rebrands them. Matrix is just Evike's rebrand name.
Anyone know who's making them.

Same here. Who is the manufacturer of the BAR? Could give us a lead/edge on performance and durability.

"Who is the manufacturer of the BAR" Ummm, respectfully, ..... who cares ?? -We know its a VFC clone, and it's $700 to $1200 cheaper than the VFC. -We know it's made in China, somewhere, by somebody.... Do you honestly care who makes it at this point? really? It's a BAR for gosh sakes and we've waited what, 2 years for this to come out in clone version? I honestly don't care if it's made by Chinese grandparents with the rest of the village in a sweatshop and painted with lead paint and coated in the tears of the Chinese orphans.... I've been waiting for this day for a long time.....Since 1974 to be exact- That's when I found my dad's Playboy stash in the garage and saw my first 'Collectors Armory' advertisement in the back and have dreamed of owning a Browning Automatic Rifle ever since. (maybe 4 people on this forum know what the heck I'm talking about there lol ;-) ) I mean, knowing it's a 'clone' product, what manufacturer could they tell us made it that you would say "Ohhh well...in that case nevermind..." Again, lead-painted, radioactive, made in a sweatshop from the tears of the orphans- Don't care, I'm still an owner as soon as pre-orders ship ;D

And it's not like most of us won't open it up to make gearbox/hopup improvements. The only way this can fail is if the externals are complete garbage AND can't be repaired/improved easily.

Given that Replica metal and wood BARs or demilled BARs sell for more than the VFc and do nothing. This was ordered with the knowledge that if it completly blows as an airsoft gun I wanted one. Like Guinness I've wanted one since the first JAC BAR I saw on Ebay brought $2,400.00 My prediction is that initial shipments will be delayed but that once finally recieved the gun will be well made and shoot hard and well with affordable spare magazines. Since it will depict a squad automatic weapon I'm even okay with hi caps (although I'd still prefer low caps) I can't wait to get mine. I will probably order a second one.

Does anyone know how to convert m14 mags to VFC BAR mags, i'm sure it will work. Finally my grandfathers belt will go to use

Post by springfieldarmory on Feb 9, 2010 21:45:00 GMT -5
I think M16 mags would be a better choice (they're shorter), but all you would need to do would be to put the mag into a regular BAR mag shell, and use bondo or something to hold it in place.
