So the order is placed for two cartons of six rifles. Eight are spoken for but they are a month away. according to UKARMS this is true for all retailers. I wish there were some in containers enroute currently but unless something has slipped through the cracks there are none. I will keep all of you posted on the latest and wish the news was more encouraging. I won't ask for any funds until I actually have them. I have ordered 36 spare magazines as well. I hope these will prove worth waiting for but again the $$$$ are quite small hence the risk is not huge.

You are now on the list. Patience is essential here as according to UKARMS there are none in the states and at present none on the ocean enroute. That means no matter where you get one it will be at least a month away. I bought most of my CYMA M14s through them in cartons of six and have always had great support through them. I won't have to pay for them till they are on the ground so I won't bill any committed buyers until they are ready to go out. I have to price them at $55.00 each plus shipping and I will have firm prices on the spare mags once I know what my costs are. (they hadn't previously been available) It would be nice to have them all spokn before before they hit although if i end up with extras beyomd the two I wanted anyway I'm seeing them as props and loaner guns for staff and crew served weapons guys. Mortarmen and my M18 crew.
UPDATE: These rifles became available through a wide variety of assorted vendors and on EBAY. They vary in price from 49.00 to $79.00 and magazines range from $6.00 to 20.00 depending on the source. They are branded under CYMA and UKARMS. Both rifles are one and the same. I bought a couple and have been pleased thus far with them. My distributor never received their order of them.

UPDATE:
This offering is discussed extensively elsewhere and at least for me has been proven to be one of the best values and best finds to date with regard to WW2 airsoft offerings. After having spent ($150.00) creating a pseudo replica, springer carbine. This little Springer M2 from CYMA comes along and is now readily available and periodically offered at rediculously low clearance prices (under $20.00!). I have now bought over two dozen of them (I just couldn't resist). I have converted most of them to M1s, have converted three of them to M1A1s (threads describing both processes) and have sold a few to fund the armory growth. I tried upgrading one with stronger spring but predictably it failed). I curently have 18 of them! I loan or rent them out at events and they have served me well, have paid for themselves and continue to soldier on. Mags are affordable although shortening them is firly labor intense.
