is anyone as pissed as me when we found out that it was delayed till loosely specified "June"? Also if it is truely a VFC clone, then what upgrades internally would you say be possible to make it better internally? Not as pissed as you, I have a VFC. However the same applies here in Hong Kong. It is het and miss what comes out of China. If it is a true clone all standard TM upgrades are possible. Spring change is actually easy by removing the gear box spring guide plug.

Classic airsoft thread, we are asking what upgrades are possible on a gun that's not even out yet!
Obviously any discussion is pure speculation but I'll bite. The last dozen iterations of Chinese releases have shot so hot out of the box that several actually need the springs replaced to lower the FPS in order to meet field standards. I have no way of knowing of course but I predict this gun will be more than adequate straight out of the box but, should upgrades or repairs be needed, if it truly is a VFC clone, it will be easy to access the key components.
Like the rest of you I'm definitely getting anxious to receive this gun! I'm hoping it will shoot right around 350 to 370 as that seems to be the ideal Anything harder is just more stress on the components without increased range or accuracy. (Maybe 5 to 10 feet)

Email Evike just to see if I could get a more precise date. They're saying maybe end of June or even early July. Still no accurate answer.

Evike I'm sure how no clear idea when they'll get them. I'm sure frankly they are just as in the dark as the rest of us. Definitely frustrating. Had I known the delay was going to dragged out this far I certainly wouldn't have placed a pre-order.

I'm starting to seriously doubt that anyone is going to ever see these clones, the manufacturer Black Bear Airsoft's website is down ( www.bbairsoft.net/) and the principal far east stockist ( acmgear.com/) no longer appear to have any mention of it on their shop site or forum, although I can't be 100% sure on that score as I can't gain access to any of the shop pages beyond the homepage regardless of which browser I use. It's all feeling rather suspect and I'm glad I was able to resist putting in a preorder. Have any of the rest of you gleaned more info since the last post on this subject?

i have canceled my order from evike, due to after emailing them, they have stated:
Dear Customer, We have not received our shipment of the order, yet. It is still waiting to be shipped to us. The world expo that is currently taking place in China is still going on. Expo will not be ending until the end of October. We expect to get the shipment by November.
