    I would if it was a GBB and not an AEG.
    After I get a Barrett and and SVD then WWII is on the menu for me.

    The tangent sight model should be along also.

    I might get one and all, have always wanted a winchester.

    Ya beter be quick. I ordered the plastic furniture one with the vernier sight the day after it came out on rsov. It was in stock at the time and they charged me but after a few days of silence i mailed em and they said it was out of stock but would have em within a week so i said grand but after a few days they mailed me to say they were stuck in the custom house and they would not have em soon? So got me scrilla back.

    This gun has been out for a while now but i thought id post this incase anyone hasnt seen the system, pretty cool and an innovation coming from a clone company as opposed to the big names.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    isnt that just an E4 not a mk43?

    Nice, good to see some innovation.

    Definitely something that would be useful for a support gun, low rof for milsim and then switch to high rof for a regular game, with no messing with battery voltages.

    Also a few variations of support guns on the field will be nice, given the rumors of the PKM and all in gbb coming out eventually.

    Think that is the E4, the Mk43 has rails as far as I know.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    everyone wanders around refering to it as the mk43 without a clue as to what it is... Oh well, i do fancy one maybe... i hear its pretty much the same weight as a m249 para...

    It's a good feature alright, looks like the ''switch'' is more of a variable resistor, which seeing as the current from the battery is fairly constant is varying the voltage behind the scenes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,205 ✭✭✭Firekitten


    wonder how long that feature lasts?

    Tbh id be tempted to set it to lowest and remove it totally... i dont see much point in ajusting it, id use the same for either playtype.

    If you removed it the ROF would be stuck at the highest i would imagine.

    potentially unless i force it lower with my own tinkering.

    It's an M60E4.... The Navy Seal designation is the MK43 MOD0. The MOD1 is the same, except with a rail instead of the foregrip.

    I've got the VFC one, and although it's obviously excellent, the A&K looks really really good - They've taken the basic VFC design and improved it using the Star style hard box mag (I've been looking for a capco one for mine :( ), voltage regulator etc. Don't see how they're going to sell the VFC now due to the price difference!

    Mk43 not the US Navy Seal designation? The regular US Army never use the Mk system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,758 ✭✭✭Stercus Accidit


    That sounds about right, they use the mk23 for example.

    Lovely looking aeg though, the variable rof, if it is just a variable resistor, is a bit naff, it would waste battery energy to lower the rof. But it sounds the most likely system.

    Yep, your right. Had a moment of madness there - Completely forgot :P
