    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    According to Realsword they're not, but they are aware of them. From what I've heard, its quite the bar to set for externals for a company's first product

    Everything is up on the Raresoft website, the only thing they don't have is the full wooden stock Type 56s

A Gen 1 with the glossy furniture nonetheless! Not letting this one go this time... Hopefully I can convice them to restart production...

    Importing from Japan or Taiwan

    The markup on UK stores is absolutely not what you think it is. People see a price on proact, then something on UK stores and assume the rough difference is the markup. The average margin on airsoft guns in the UK is between 10 - 15% for most stores.

    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    Yep, that's when it all went to shit. He's not the only person, I believe there are many people who actually paid and just never received their items. If he still has it and wants some money for it, I'll buy it. Might be worth another email if he wants to fix it.

    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    I know someone who bought an ex-display Type 97 from them recently, a customer of my own no less, and he has the photos to prove it. The lady is called Helen, but there are other members of staff that other people have spoken to.

    Yeah for the last few years that has certainly been the case. In the last 12 months or so, they've posted more on Facebook, YouTube and are also responsive to emails.

    I've heard the Akriva used Norinco bodies, whether or not this is true, I don't know, but given what people say about Realsword, it might be

    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    Not that I remember, although anyone is free to correct me here. The only problem I remember with anything internal related, is due to the SVD having no mosfet, you'd have to use a flathead to sort it out once it got locked up!

    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    Yeah, Systema at the time were very much a leader in an element of technological advancement for airsoft, and clearly that niche was appreciated by customers for some time. Then, as always, other market developments slowly made them less and less appealing, the market focus shifted, and now the...

    Realsword- The Nokia of airsoft?

    Realsword. It makes me feel old but when I started airsoft, they were synonymous with the best quality externals you could find on an AEG, and were generally just good products. Sure, the range is limited compared to other manufacturers, but what they make, they make well. I think ever...
