Would you all say it is safe to assume that is a prototype they are showing us?

It will most likely be a re-stickered version of the same one you can buy now.

I just hope echo1 sells replacement parts in-case things break on the current clone BAR. Seeing that i believe the tappet plate to be proprietary, I just hope they release parts for this.

Looks promising. Guess I'll officially terminated my long festering plans to try and build one. Echo1, I'm betting it'll be i nthe $300-350 price range. That's doable. ;D

I had heard unsubstantiated rumors that echo 1 would ultimately be distributing a version of the ACM BAR (vfc clone). If so this should be good news for everyone. volkstrum Id still suggest you proceed with your home build as there is much joy in using ones own creation and you obviously have acquired some of the needed components which will otherwise just end up lying around. I am in course right now making a point of using up a wide assortment of materials and components that are just lying around.

www.evike.com/product_info.php?products_id=41146New Echo1 B.A.R. is available for purchase... it's running at $350 and said to be in limited quantities. Metal receiver, imitation wood, laser-etched trades for Ohio Ordance's M1918A3, but could easily be sanded down. Spare mags run at $28 a pop.

Pre sale with no projected delivery date. Hmmmmm? ? Hose me once, shame on you... Hose me twice, shame on me. i,m not ordering from Evike until they show them as in stock and Ive heard from others who have recieved them. i have little doubt they will ultimately carry them if ECHO ends up distributing them and I must say I like the lower price point but tuesalso no urgency to get it.

Where are you reading that it's a pre-sale? I don't know if I'm just overlooking something (which is entirely possible), but it seems that it is in-stock and ready to ship. At least, I don't see anything that states otherwise.

And here I just bought, and paid for, a ACM BAR from AirsoftWorld on 12/17! This one looks to be almost exactly the same gun, with different trades.
At least the mags look compatable with the ACMs (and the original VFC model that I also own from way back).
LOL - too bad the mags for these guns cannot be used in the JAC BAR, which I also own (entirely different operating system, being a HPA/BV design). I love the JAC - but she is a collectible and thus more of a wall-hanger and occasional plinker. She also weighs as much as the RS - around 20 pound......).

The pre order category has apparently changed to an in stock with supposedly 50 available? That changes everything. Apparently there is also a coupon for existing customers that takes an additional $79.00 off. Wow that is certainly tempting!

The temptation was too great I just ordered one with spare magazines hoping upon hope that i dont receive a CURRENTLY ON......fill in the blank....PRE ORDER, BACK ORDER, NOT IN STOCK. Etc. I will keep the forum posted. If this order is fullfilled it will confirm my expectation that the model would recieve more widespread distribution and come down in price.

tracking number indicates that it is shipped! everything in the pictures except the trade marking appears identical to the ACM folks have been getting.

Well hoping limited run is not too limited so I can get me one in Feb at tax time. My car just cost me $1300 I didn't plan to spend ("Volkswagen - Germany's Revenge for WWII"), so my fun money fund is pretty depleted. And then there's Christmas ("Christmas colors are green and red, because you start out with green and end up in the red.") Going to be a couple months before I can think seriously about getting one.
