Is anyone selling an Echo 1 Zb30 or a Matrix ZB30?
Thanks

I've a early model Echo 1 Zb30 (wood furniture) with the unpainted aluminum gas tube. Excellent condition with perhaps 500 rounds through her. Also have the original RWA Zb30 (which is a completely different gun in terms of manufacturer and quite nice). Also essentially new with even less use than the preceding gun.
Early E1 for 250 and the RWA for 550. Shipping not included.

The RWA Zb30 is better quality all around. Internals are generally of higher quality and it shows in better performance. Attention to detail is of a higher order and 'fidelity' of external detail is much better than the Echo or Matrix clones. All aluminum, no pot-metal. CNC construction. Bi-pod locks back, etc. Just an all around nicer gun but has a high price tag (and expensive to ship from RW to the U.S.)! Buyer would be (honestly) getting a hell of a deal at 550...

Certainly. Will have to be the weekend before I can get to 'the vault' and locate/retrieve them. Work (legal/law firm) mandates long days and my collection, all 600+, resides in a secure off-site facility for obvious reasons!
You may raise an eyebrow re the above. By way of explanation, my hobby has been collecting rare, unusual, exotic 'airguns'. Been at it since 1985. While the E1/Matrix Zb30 LMG specimens could hardly be labeled as 'rare', etc., the RWA Zb could, arguably, rise to that category somewhere down the road. I wanted to pick up one of the clones to see if any similarities existed. Thankfully, the RWA model is comparatively a completely different gun and is well constructed and aesthetically the better gun.
That's not to say the clone models are bad. Generally, they are perfectly skirmishable (not sure that's even a word) and can provide lots of enjoyment, particularly if upgraded to use a P*/HPA system.
Cheers,
Oh - and message me an email Addy so that I can more readily send the pending photographs!
