I'm just wondering whether anyone is as pissed off as me when, i just found the B.A.R was delayed again till August NOW!! I'm seriously considering pulling out and getting my money back. Does anyone see any positives in keeping my order besides it being a cheap B.A.R

I give up. Where did you hear it has now been postponed till August? Naturally if true, with two on order I am upset that my retailer doesn't bother to inform me and I have to hear it elsewhere.
Very very irritating.

www.airsoftpost.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_44_211&products_id=32345Like i beginning to question whether it will be worth it in the end. Being a college student in the fall, i really would like my gun before i go of to college, cause my college has an airsoft club! I would like a BAR so badly but just cant afford the VFC version, unless someone was willing to sell one for like 500$ but lets be real, that will NEVER happen

Evike are right furry clams but the money is already spent so I'm not missing it I guess. The other problem is I am no longer with the same bank and closed that account so them refunding my money back to the card I used will be a huge hassle. I am starting to feel like this will never come out, and I might as well just kiss the money good bye....After this If I do get it it will probably go up for sale as soon as I get it here. It's turned me off that much.

Great,just friggin great! Its really beginning to look like i may NOT have for my B'Day in Sept.! Evike can kiss my ass if they think I'm placing any kind of orders with them. I should've known when NO other AS retailer had them for pre-sale something was up.

I see they have announced a pre-sale for the mew GBB M14 with an announced release date of JULY! Someone needs to warn folks about that scam. I usually don't let delays and late releases bother me too much as frankly they are kind of parr for the course when it comes to anything airsoft but combine how anxious I have been for this particular weapon with the piss poor way Evike has kept their custoers informed and I am NOT a happy camper. Evike will NOT be getting anymore of my money and I will be warning one and all to avoid them.
I realize the delays are not something they have control over but the way they keep their customers in the loop (or in this case don't) is completely in their control.

The ARES is out Bob, I got mine a week ago from UN Company. Nice AEG but they missed an opportunity and I question the Hop-up design because of air leaks.

I'll post something in a seperate thread this weekend as not to hijack this thread but overall a very nice AEG and I love the magazine. The hop-up is a two part system which has leak potential and I suspect is doing so because I can only get 344 fps out of an m130 installed. Stock it only shoots 289ish... weak

Uhhhh.... I am serously tempted to cancel my order. I am not even that into airsoft at the moment, focased on other things for the summer. The thought of what almost $300 could do for me right now is very, very tempting to just cancel the thing and get my money back. I would really love a BAR, but I just am starting to wonder if I will ever see the gun I paid for 6 months ago.
Again, it's not the delays that are pissing me off, it's the fact that Evike does not feel the need to email or call or contact there customers in any way that the guns are delayed yet again. They seem very unwilling to just tell us the truth that we've all figured out from the start... they don't know when they will get them.

Im with you man, im getting nervous too, because evike is the only one selling them!! that is a little strange, and ik how you feel about the money situation, for me 300$ could buy some of my books for my upcoming college semester. Also i've missed 2 airsoft tournaments already due to this gun being delayed

I just want my BAR already!!! but will not pay 1K for a VFC BAR. Also i might cancel my order if someone is willing to sell me a custom Kar98 or Tanaka version for under 300 dollars

I wish I could get my custom Kar98s out faster. Even though I can make at a reasonably cheap price(for a custom rifle at least) I can't make them in large numbers. In a year I might make 50 rifles(most likely less at the rate I am going) which is like nothing compared to the numbers that would be going on a Name brand gun. Oh well.
I'd probably cancel my order. I think the B.A.R will come out but Evike is known as a crumby dealer. This new site that's selling them might come through. I am really anxious to see one of these in person.

I'm hanging in there and will continue to keep my fingers crossed but not hold my breath. I was really hpoing it would be in in time for Jump to Destiny and now hopeful that it will arrive in time for RECONDO (1st week of August)

I serously am getting closer to just giving up and getting my money back. There is a lot of stuff I could buy with that $300. Crap... that's gas for three Sand Mountain trips... I'm trying to thin out my airsoft stuff and although I would LOVE to have the BAR, I am starting to wonder if it will ever actually happen. I thought I was going to get it in April and it's now almost July and I still won't have it until August.... maybe... If I didn't think it was going to be a really awesome airsoft replica and end up being quite rare, I would have already given up.

I live near and talk to the folks at Evike all the time... They are decent and this is not within their control... I've also exchanged numerous messages with ACMGear as I pre-ordered a few extra mags to fill fill an ammo belt from them... Both give the same info with ACM saying they might get them sooner which is no surprise as they are located in China whereas Evike is in So. Cal. USA... I don't think these are gonna be distributed as widespread as some would hope so there might not be too many options... Besides if you truly are bothered and don't want to wait they will refund you back so it's all a matter a patience to get something you really want, or not... After the HUGE fiasco and what I was told by US Customs after I fought to get my last airsoft gun purchase into the US, I wouldn't chance trying to get another complete airsoft gun imported... US Customs told me that they are clamping down on all these Companies that "paint' the guns to pass the Law... They told me that it "does not comply with regulations that the barrel end must be permanently blaze orange because it can be so easily removed"... I was advised not to attempt to import any other airsoft pieces that did not have a "permanent attachment to comply"... Again, after sweating out almost losing $300+ behind that I'm not gonna try again... Evike is here in the US so I won't have to deal with US Customs or the USPS... I too have had this on order from Evike since early Feb of 2010... Hope this info is of use to some...

thanks for the info, i was beginning to be worried about another delay!! but that sound legit and more than likely will hold out and wait it out. Do you have any idea of how heavy the gun will be?

If these are made like the other recent "metal/wood" airsoft releases it'll probably have a realistic heft to it... Real BARs weighed between 15 to 20lbs, I wouldn't be surprised if this piece comes close to the lower end of that variable especially with the bipod and handle attached... Just my guess though...
