    When they have a prototype to that level, how long to they normally take to get it to market ?

    more than likely they will have a finished version at IWA show maybe so about middle of the year for being readily available from retailers? WE are normally pretty fast with getting models out and they seem to be rather far along with this one

    It looks a Browning HiPower alright, from the front slide and small ejection port.

    hack attack on boards, getting really peeved that I'm waiting so bloody long,
    but had to log in with my accidently created account, and say.....
    .... I want I want I want.

    500fps and like the socom version its an aeg rather than a sniper spring or gas job ,
    on the plus its priced at 250us -300 :D:D:D


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


    and at 1j will be about as effective as an m4 with weights strapped to it.... pretty pointless sadly... but then so would a bolty be unless allowed decent fps and 8mm, but not in Ireland. Collectors piece, but aleast an affordable one. May have me one of these for the sake of it :)

    ghost town auctioned off for $3.1 million

    http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100205/ap_on_re_eu/eu_latvia_town_for_sale
    SKRUNDA, Latvia – Latvia sold a deserted town built around a Soviet-era radar station to a Russian investor who bid $3.1 million at an unusual auction Friday, officials said.

    The town formerly known as Skrunda-1 housed about 5,000 people during the Cold War but was abandoned over a decade ago after the Russian military withdrew from Latvia following the Soviet collapse.

    A representative of a Russian investor won the bidding contest in Latvia's capital, Riga, with an offer of 1.55 million lats ($3.1 million), said Anete Fridensteina-Bridina, a spokeswoman for the Baltic country's privatization agency. She said the buyer was Aleksejevskoje-Serviss, a Russia-based firm, though she could not provide details.

    It wasn't immediately clear what plans the buyer had for the 110-acre (45 hectare) property, which is located in western Latvia about 95 miles (150 kilometers) from Riga. The town contains about 70 dilapidated buildings, including apartment blocks, a school, barracks and an officers' club.

    Built in the 1980s, Skrunda-1 was a secret settlement not marked on Soviet maps because of the two enormous radar installations that listened to objects in space and monitored the skies for a U.S. nuclear missile attack. Like all clandestine towns in the Soviet Union, it was kept off maps and given a code-name — which usually consisted of a number and the name of a nearby city.

    we should have done a collection ;)

  • Registered Users Posts: 6,261 ✭✭✭Puding

  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 11,001 ✭✭✭✭Masada


    I never actually played stalker myself, just saw things about it on the net, the tower block jumped out to me as Chernobyl though, all ya need there is a ferris wheel., :D


    PS: I got me Specter this morning Pud, it looks quite nice and its sitting im my Scar at the moment. the finish is actually really nice but as stated in the past, the shiney bits are a but emm, shiney. very happy with it though, I was thinking about rubbing them down with some scotchlite but im not really that bothered, ive seen real ones with it too so its cool,., I read your review and agree fully on the clarity and eye relief., I own a regular Elcan Sight and its as good if not better, and lower mounted to boot. :)

    Masada got Krabs?

    hehe, good find, I've used Karabiners on my gear since... the dawn of time, great for hanging magpulled empties off or any odd bit of gear .


    Firekitten's top tip of the day: put two grenade pouches side by side, and a krab inbetween, or a grimlock (also awesome) and put the pins on the grenades in the krab, but keep the grenade in the pouch. (tip for you senny hoards)
    now just unclip pouch, pull and throw, simples :D Onehanded grenade throwing when you dont want to lower your weapon to frag some muppet.

    Also awesome on the nozzle.. need a new one for mine. :) Masada's on fire today.
