I believe that the VFC uses basicly m16 VN magazines inside a BAR shell.

Just emailed evike.com about the B.A.R- They said the internals are PRETTY much METAl . HMM? External is full metal and wood. Also matrix will make magazines/VFC BAR mags will work for this. And matrix mags, I think will work for the VFC BAR.

11 pounds for an airsoft gun is a ton. I'm delighted. I got a order confirmation saying 3 days to delivery but I suspect it is in error. Not expecting it until late March. If it were to arrive early that would be awesome. The VFC is indeed a M16 short hicap magazine inside a shell that looks like a bar. I'm thrilled that Matrix is offering a regular magazine and like everyone else hope they are available and reasonably priced. If not I'll make myself a bunch.probably using the star low caps.
Deacon I too would like to know your source for BAR real steel magazines at $9.00?

well, thats the price a local gun shop had them for. There were about 50, I checked two days ago for a carbine, and they said some guy bought the whole lot. they were still in the wrapping and everything. they were in boxes exactly like this, but this guy has them marked at 25 a pop. www.shootersxchange.com/detail_access.cfm?recordID=355

Plus $6.00 shipping~! No wonder someone bought the whole lot at $9.00 each. That was a steal.

Does a real steel BAR mag fit in the VFC mag well?

yes, with massive modification, I would not recommend it.

I'm sure there are several members here anxious to get theirs and perfectly set up to provide a topnotch, first hand, review. I know I always look forward to Guinesses excellent photos and insight. I'll happily supply my first impressions both on appearance, build quality and performance. I knew with the Chinese New Year and brand new product that the announced delivery date would never be met but since I was prepared for it I'm okay with the delay.
Actually I'm just pretending to be patient. I'm uber anxious of course to get mine. A BAR AEG that is affordable has been on the list for about eight years now. I wanted to but couldn't swing a JAC BAR and resisted with great difficulty buying a VFC. Hopefully the wait will have been worth it.
Really really looking forward to this gun.

Can't say it wasn't expected. I've also heard some bad things about Evike so who knows.
