I almost wanna buy it just to see if I can get it inn a para stock, but 250 is alot of money just to test something, and even if I get it in, I might end up with a gun that I can't use if the right mags never come

Its 8mm and it is a 13 rd mag, is that for the old NBB M1?
Its on WGC shop in the Marushin magazine section, I can't seem to get a link for it.

So wait. I am thinking about also getting the m2 carbine, and placing an adjustable stock on it. Before I do, is anyone sure they are going to make 15 round magazines for the m2, or will they just make a GBB m1 carbine? It would be a shame if I got the m2, and later they came out with a GBB m1 carbine, and I was stuck with 30 round magazines.

this IS the GBB M1 Carbine. but they didn't bother to make a regular boxmag for it, they just used the M2 mag

I'm going to get it once I get the money. I just hope they make the box mags.
P.S. Dibs on the review. ;D

That's a great price from Boomarms. What do they typically charge you for shipping to the states?

Can someone post a link to it? I can't find it.

www.boomarms.com/sc/showcatalog.asp?CategoryLevel=0Boomarms shipping is on par with the other HK retailers, they charged me $60 bucks to ship my last order which was a G&P M16A1 (365 and a wake up baby ) and a ACM wood stock kit for my M14. It all came in the same box. Understand that shipping is a 'profit point' for all Asian dealers- It doesn't cost that much to ship stuff over here- But everything I have ever ordered from them arrives in two days- That, I'm willing to pay a bit of a premium for. Also understand that the Boomarms lads may take a few days to respond to emails and inquiries- they aren't anywhere near as bad as Gunner or RSOV, but they don't have a '24 hour guarantee' either- however their service and their prices and their willingness (like RSOV and Gunner) to get anything and everything I ask for whether its on their website or not- again makes up for a little slow response for me. Slainte! -G

I can't find the m2 carbine anywhere on their site. Also, I love boomarms. I don't want to kiss ass or anything, but they are one of my number one sellers next to redwolf airsoft. The shipping really makes up for the waiting on confirmation. I am really interested in this weapon myself.

"......and their willingness (like RSOV and Gunner) to get anything and everything I ask for whether its on their website or not"And who said 'M2' we were talking about the new M1- And just to make sure we are completely crystal clear, the 'New' M2 that has been discussed here is the new "Export" greengas ready version made by Marushin specifically for the US market and imported by Spartan Imports- This gun is available in the US market exclusively (AFAIK, its not even going to be available in Europe) at retailers such as AEX and that shop in Arizona that iceplatinumsky told us about in the other thread and other select retailers here in the US- So this is not something that Boomarms or WGC or RedWolf will even have.

Oh. My bad Guinness. I was confused if it was an m1 with auto, a m1 GBB with a 30 round magazine, or whatever. Damn Japanese Companies are screwing with my head. Why can't they just make a GBB M1 Carbine with short 15 round magazines!

I was confused as well and looked all over for the M1 carbine (I thought you had quoted a low price on it from them?) But obviously it looks like a great resource retailer With reasonable shipping and timely service looks like a great find.

I did but apparently I'm not being as clear as I should be- I thought I had always indicated that they would get whatever you asked them for in pretty much every post I made about them And followed that with even things that aren't on their website.

Marushin really took the simple way - they made the M1 Carbine, they just didn't care to redevelope the magazine. I'm not surprised at all - it is Marushin we are talking about, after all. They might well make it later on. It might help if everybody mailed them that hey, we aint buying an M1 without 15 rounders. Even better if we could all do it in Japanese..

Hey guys, I have contacted Redwolf and they said it was a mistake in the print. After emailing them they checked out their M1 Carbine and said it was blowback, and the same on WGC, which I also gave them the link: Hello Michael, Yes it is the one, redwolfairsoft.com/redwolf/airsoft/ProductDetail?prodID=23161, we checked and ours also have blowback, we actually don’t have one that has no blowback, so basically that is a mistake on our website, we’ll change it soon. So that is the same one in that WGC page. Thank you. Benny Chui RedWolf Customer Service RedWolf Airsoft Specialist Ltd

lol, I think the 30rd style mag on the marushin m1 will haunt me for the rest of my life. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it had the 15rd style magazine. I think anyone who takes up WWII reenacting has too much money to spend, but for those select few into it, the things we buy are ALWAYS necessary.

Any news of Marushin making the short clips? I (and a few other guys) would immediatedly buy one if i knew that the short clips will be available. With the long clips it makes no sense at all.... We need more WW2 guns......Is the market so small for those? Strange that it seems to make more sense for the manufacturers to release 100000000 M4s....

No news on 15rd style magazines. Marushin seems too lazy to make a 15rd style magazine. The 30rd style was korean+ era.
The market for WWII era guns is so small because thats not where the typical airsofter's interest is. Most WWII era guns don't allow the high speed, molle'd up, hi-cap, red dot and ris style play that most airsofter's like. The m4 does.
