Aldi are selling some fishing gear which would be very handy for someone who wants to put together a plain green uniform. It's a little darker than the green the PDF used to have. Also useful for dual purpose airsoft/hunting.

Fishing Rod Case (1.55 m long, looks exactly like a rifle case to me) €20
Fishing Bag (pistol/range bag) €14
Cap with LEDs €6
Waterproof/windproof packable overtrousers €13
T-shirt €10
Trousers €13
1/2 zip fleece €10
Hooded sweatshirt €13

T-shirt, trousers and hoodie are also available in a leaf-and-tree camo which resembles Mossy Oak Obsession. Cap is a slightly lighter colour.
From Sunday 5th August.

Bought the fishing bag and rod case well impressed with build quality of these and to be fair you would definitely fit 3 aegs in this

I had a look at the fishing stuff today.

The trousers look well made, a bit of a bargain. The t-shirt, fleece & trousers combo will work well for anyone trying to make up a plain green Israeli-style uniform. The weatherproof overtrousers are a slightly brownish shade of green and look fine. They rustle a bit with movement though.

The fishing rod case is unpadded, but will easily fit at least 2 looooong rifles. We're talking FN/SLR/G3/PSG1 length here. There's a long pocket on the back for spare barrels or cleaning rods etc, and two pockets on the front for mags and other sundries. With the addition of some foam padding it will work really well. Did I mention that it's really long?

The smaller bag has room for a lot of stuff, it will easily hold two Aim Top gas bottles in the bottom compartment, and ear defenders and goggles/glasses etc in the main part. The pocket on top will hold a couple of mags BUT the pocket on the front is too small for a large framed pistol (eg P226) and both of the external pockets are unpadded. To carry a pistol in this bag will require some inventiveness: some way to stop it moving around and some way to put padding around it.

It will certainly change the front of a scar and the hole look which is nice

Looks like Mauri will prices will jump and aegs and gbb be covered in cybergun stupid over the top trades

tudenham10 · 17-08-2012 12:40pm

Ah no!

Time for airsofteire to get their stock in then!!

clubberlang12 · 17-08-2012 12:48pm

Being reading this on Zeroin since the news broke and i'm actually quite shocked at how surprised people are at this. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a fan of this, but the fact remains that Cybergun have paid for copyright and trademark rights from the real steel companies. Marui, and other manufacturers, haven't and this is the crux of the matter. It is copyright/trademark infringement as much i we don't like it. Why it took so long to happen is beyond me.

On a side note, from what i believe Marui don't sell directly themselves out of Japan. It is done through wholesalers/online stores such as Ehobby, Redwolf, etc. Will it still be possible to order through them? Will it mean inflated prices?

tudenham10 · 17-08-2012 12:55pm

I'd imagine it'll be the putty or tape over the trades? I'd also say that the wholesalers have a fair bit of stock already that they'll need to keep moving until Marui decide what they want to do.

While I agree on the legality of cypergun/umarex agreements with manufacturers, Marui never seem to care much about what happens outside Japan, so it could be a case of "stuff it, we'll sell more trains instead"?

I'm confused.
Until now, I was under the impression that Marui were (one of)the only company that paid for the rights to use trades.
Is this not the case?

Gatling · 18-08-2012 12:26am

As it stands cybergun are asking HMRC aka UK customs to sieze Mauri imports for breaking licensing laws ,if I remember correct the offical European distribuator for Tokyo Mauri is ASG of Denmark who were accquired by cybergun not so long ago ,

Be intresting to see if Mauri change certain aeg designs ie g36 to the what the mexican military use or g33 like ICS

Stercus Accidit · 18-08-2012 11:36am

"Attention customs workers, the following trademarked items are to be intercepted in transit unless sent by an authorised reseller, the following replicas are disallowed, heckler & koch mp5, heckler & koch g36...."

"Pst, wtf is an mp5, like an ipod?"

"lol he said koch"

Customs have enough of a pain in their hole dealing with toy guns in the mail, let alone now having to pick and choose out makes of gun, and determine if it has counterfeit trademarks, and if the name on the box, ASG, Cybergun etc. is a valid reseller. I don't see that being enforced, I'd say you'll still be able to import from HK.

I'm personally happy enough for my aegs to not have 'authentic' trademarks. I do not think that the shape of an object can be trademarked, I guess we'll see that one pan out in future.

Cyberw@nk are basically waving their e-penis about, creating fear for retailers that they will lose money in an already ever-tightening market so many retailers have decided to play it safe and not attempt to import TM guns. HMRC have said nothing on the matter.

gerrowadat · 19-08-2012 10:55pm

Of course, an easier course of action is for customs to just stop everything, which is what appears to be happening.

HMRC have been doing that for the last 5 years; ye olde VCRA and what-not.

What I find quite curious about all this is that there is not a peep out of Arnies on the matter ...

Lemming · 25-08-2012 7:13pm

Noticed these on redwolf today:

Marushin M1 Carbine, 6mm version .... using CO2.
Link.

Annnnnnd ... an MP40. "Wow, big deal" I hear some of you say. How about I add that it fires 8mm, made by Marushin. Oh, yeah, and it's gas blowback. Excuse me whilst I go mop up the puddle of drool at my feet.
