Is this fo' real?
Will you sell the complete rifle or will it be just sum conversion kit ???

how can I preorder and what is shipping to L.A., CA?

[net_split]

Yep, for real

Preorder will start around Q4 2016 if everything goes as planned.
It is a complete rifle and will only be sold as such.

As for the shipping: It will depend on the final weight, I assume Fedex will be the cheapest option. But I haven't looked into it yet.

Would be sweet if it used some of the same internals at GHK AK

I would be interested if the price isn't in the same league as a PTW

[net_split]

Nah, it won't use GHK AK internals. I do not think they are particular great to be honest.

Price will depend whether we will manufacture it here in Germany or will be able to outsource it to a cheaper place. We are hoping to sell it at a Real Sword price level.
But it really depends. If we are going to built it here, taxes and certification will make up more then 60% of the final price. That could make things a bit more expensive

Really interesting! I love it!

Did you get the prototype of it? Maybe some more impressions?

Will you have spare parts, internals and magazines for it in your shop?

Viele Grüße,

Hi Kilian,

There are a few issues lately. As you may noticed, a Chinese Manufacture has revealed a SVU-AS. Oddly enough, this was about one month after I send the CAD files to a Chinese factory for mass production. So chances are, they stole our design.

Since we will not be able to compete with their prices, we are currently working on a different project.
It will also be an Russian rifle, which we will offer als GBBR and AEG.
But due to the bad experience, I will not disclose much more details until it is completely finished and ready for production.

[Kilian]

Hi!

Yeah, i saw a video of the SVU-AS AEG. Very bad news...

... but on the other side, some good. I like the russian ones Will it be an extraordinary rifle like the SVU? And how far is the progress?

Viele Grüße,
Kilian

[net_split]

Yep, it will be a rifle similar to the SVU (which does not exist as an Airsoft yet obviously).
I even dare to say, that it will be even more exciting.

Currently we are finishing the SVU to gain some more experience. However I already started with some of the CAD construction of the new rifle. But it will take a while to build a working prototype.
