www.airsoftnews.eu/news.php  I've never seen an m1928 or m1921 that had a charging handle on the side, or a sight sheild/sights that way. Seems like a big letdown and waste imo, as it's not WWII or historically appropiate. Oh wel...

Yeah, I know the guy-
He is also working on a M14-Garand kit as well, I think I posted something about it earlier.
Anyway, his name is Richard, seems to be a nice enough guy- He's in the Philippines, I have actually sent him specs and measurements of a Garand buttplate for his wood stock because he has been using the M14 flip-up buttplate.
Only problem is.....
There is possibly a ban on shipping anything that even looks close to a gun from the Philippines to the US, I am confirming this with him right now.
I will have more detailed intel this evening, so stand by, he has asked me to be a 'representative' of sorts for him on Arnies and other places I hang out and provide info, so let me first sort out if this is a Euro/UK only thing before anyone gets their hopes up.
Slainte!

Yep, that's the guy. I was e-mailing him for details on a CO2 Garand a little while back. Nice guy, excellent service.

Thanks for the info Guinness, if it were more realistic with the charging handle and sight hood I'd be very interested in it. The sights I can live with, since he's a good guy hopefully he'll be able to configure it to be more realistic.

The Phillipines is where all those solid resin replicas are made (50 Cal, Garand, M-14m Carbine, M60 and M-16s) You see them sometimes on Ebay and in the Sportsmans guide.
The importer is here in the Northwest. He has been bringing them in for years. With that I can't imagine these conversion kits would be a problem.

Hi all I did a post in this topic earlier of what was in the kit and what wasnt and all of a sudden that post is gone, something wrong with the forum? I guess christmas trafficking takes its toll. But if it was intentionally removed by someone, I`ll cut the post in half and just say the essentials, hoping to cut out what I hope not was offensive?.. Anyways. He told me per mail what he is selling in the kit. And, again, I`m listing it here since it`s an official product (From what I can understand.) Wooden parts: Vertical Foregrip Horizontal Foregrip Stock. Pistol Grip. Metal parts: Cutts Compensator. What we need to buy that is not included with the wooden kit is choosing between 10.5" (56 USD.) barrel and 15.5" (68 USD.) barrel. I do not know which materials these outter barrels are made off, but I can imagine its some pretty heavy duty stuff. What is not included in the kit at all for some reason is the most essential part, as you all know, the M1928 Receiver. I dont know if he will make that because he never answered that question (I had a pretty long email, but hey, for over 200 bucks for an almost complete kit, I gotta ask questions  ) Complete price is 138 dollars for the main kit, and 56 or 68 for either barrel. Just thought u guys should know so a lot people dont send emails asking him the same questions when he should be busy making theese awesome kits! Merry Christmas all! And good night! RvH |
