New Armored Gallery Custom Guns
Armoured Gallery of Japan have just completed their latest masterpiece, the M16A3 SPR (Special Purpose Reciever). This gun is constructed with the highest quality parts possible, sporting a PRI Carbon Fiber Free Floating Handguard, M16A3 Aluminum Reciever AG One Piece Outer Barrel, Leapold VARI-X III scope with ARMS Tactical Scope Mount, that is just to name a few, I'm sure there are plethora of real steel components thrown in there aswell as well as a monster mechbox to power this monster gun. The AG SPR is probably the cloest replica of the real SPR sniper rifle used by the US Special Forces Green Berets and Army Rangers. For more info and pics of the AG SPR click here.

Next up is the AG M4 CQBR, as its name suggests, this M4 variant is designed with Close Quarter Battles in mine. With a compact design and a special retractable stock that can hold a large battery, this piece is ready to cause havoc in a tight quarter situation. Sporting an Aimpoint Comp ML2 red dot sight, chopped down M4 rear sight, AN/PEQ-2 Laser Aiming Device, Surefire Tactical Light aswell as a systema metal body and vertical grip. Pretty slick! Armoured Gallery never dissappoints me with their custom built guns, they try to use as many real steel parts as possible and thats what I like, but that is also the reason for their extremely high price tags.

I know many of you must be drooling over this piece already. Its Armored Gallery's own custom Accuracy International L96A1 bolt action sniper rifle, which has become so popular due to the online multiplayer game Counter-Strike. This rifle is truly one of a kind, Armored Gallery only uses the best parts available on their custom guns, and this rifle is no exception. Featuring a real steel AI L96A1 stock, one piece stainless machined bull barrel, versa pod bi pod and ofcourse a Leupold VARI-X III long range scope. And seen here in a Starlight Case custom fitted for the L96A1. Not sure if the case is included, highly doubt it. Once again you better start saving up for this puppy, garuntee it'll cost just as much as a nice motorcycle. For more info and pictures on the AG L96A1 please click here.

New Products from G&G Armament
G&G Armament has announced that they will be releasing a metal reciever for the Tokyo Marui M16 Series. This reciever is constructed of light weight aluminum and includes its own furniture, if you've ever had exerperience with any G&G products you'll know that they're products are extremely well made but a little pricier than other companies. What makes this product a bit more special than others is that it will be available in 6 different markings, KAC SR-16 M4, KAC SR-16 M5, Bushmaster, Wilson Combat, DPMS and G&G's own markings. These trademarks are laser engraved and look very authentic.

Next up is a new M16A2 Buttstock from G&G, this stock is finished in a matte grey color to look a little more like the real M16 Buttstocks and can readily accept a 12V 1800mah large custom battery without any modifications, but you do need to get the right configuration of battery cells. I don't know about you, but my TM M16 buttstock scratches very easily and gets all shiney after a couple games use, I hope this buttstock from G&G will be more resistant to discolouring and durable.

Also new from G&G is a low profile mount base for the TM H&K PSG-1 Sniper Rifle. This mount base will be useful for those who wish to mount a their own rifle scope on to their PSG-1 as opposed to keeping the not so useful Tasco scope that comes with the PSG-1. It works in conjunction with any cantilever type scope mounts or even just normal weaver scope rings.

New Products from Guarder/Intruder Shop
Guarder/Intruder Shop will be coming up with a Steel Ribbed Top Cover for the TM AK Series, nothing too special here except that this top cover is ribbed just like the ones you see on many of the real steel AK's. Entirely constructed of steel, this product should be popular for all you AK lovers out there. I'm thinking about getting one of these for me notoriously famous AK-47 (BCAC members know what I'm talkin about haha)

Also new to Guarder is a new M60 Machine Gun 7.62mm Ammo Pouch for M60's ofcourse, not sure if it'll work with any other machine gun. Anyhow this pouch is constructed of Dupont Cordura Nylon and is modular, meaning you can even put it on your own molle style vest or even slap a battery in there if u wanted to.

OPERATION: Southern Anvil - Vancouver, B.C.
The next WestCan Airsoft event will be held in Vancouver, B.C. Operation: Southern Anvil is going to be a huge event and after the successful Westcan event in Alberta, I am sure this one will be alot better with many interesting Milsim scenarios aswell as players from all across Western Canada. This event will be hosted by the BCAC at Panther Paintball in Surrey on Aug 9-10, 2003. We hope to see all of you out here, there will be free prizes and draws aswell.

Also new is the Redwolf Custom FN M249 Minimi which is comprised of a full AEG mechbox with tons of Systema goodies packed into it, retail price is $1800US.

"RedWolf Custom is proud to release our modified TOP M249 gear box version AEG upgraded to Level IV (400fps) - an enhancement that overcomes the power and range limitations of the stock TOP M249 AEG. Installed with the highest quality Systema parts and a full AEG gearbox. The TOP 2500 round auto-winding box magazine houses a high capacity 9.6v 3000mah battery for prolonged battles and to power extremely powerful gearbox upgrades. If the standard Tokyo Marui AEG is not enough for you, but the Airsoft Surgeon Stoner is beyond affordability, then this RWC M249 GB is the perfect compromise for serious skirmishers"

New Classic Army AK-47
Well looks like Classic Army is eager to enter the AEG market, not only are they making a G36C but it looks like CA will also be coming out with their own metal AK-47. This was announced at a airsoft gun show in Italy where the first CA AK-47 prototype was on display. This picture is courtesy of the Katana airsoft team in Italy.

Happy Birthday Canada!
Well looks like our country is getting old, its Canada's birthday today and as Canadians we should all go out and celebrate with our buddies and have fun! Seriously Canada is the best country in the world and I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Lets hope Vancouver wins the 2010 Winter Olympic bid so that we can truly represent our nation with the pride and joy of our young athletes. Hmm I feel like playing some hockey today :D HAPPY BIRTHDAY CANADA, you are one year older today...

New Classic Army G36C
This may be old news but it definately suprised me. Classic Army has announced that they will be producing their own version of the H&K G36C. I just hope their mechbox's will be more reliable and not the junk ones you get from CA M4's. From the pictures on their website, it looks extremely close to the TM one, only time will tell whether this gun is as good as the TM one but if CA can design a reliable ver 3 mechbox then props to them.

New Tokyo Marui Navy Seals Sig 552
The Tokyo Marui Sig 552 is set to be released in Asia between July 15-20. TM boasts that the new Sig 552 will sport a variety of improvements over the disappointing TM Sig 551 and 550. The three shot burst function will be retained in the Sig 552, also new transaparent mags for this gun just like the G36C. This gun is the compact tactical version of the Sig 551 used by the US Navy Seals. Mini battery fits in the handguard.

New Tanaka Remington Model 700 PSS
Tanaka is set to release their own version of the famous US Marine sniper rifle, the Remington Model 700 PSS. This gas operated bolt action rifle has a 10 round magazine, which is also where the gas is stored. This rifle is a replica of the police version of the M700 and weighs in at 3.52kg's. These puppies are limited edition.

New Tokyo Marui IMI Desert Eagle .50AE
The new and improved Desert Eagle from Tokyo Marui is set for release on July 3rd. The new version sports a different magazine design and firing mechanism which improves blow back, power should be more consistent. People who already own the older TM Desert Eagle will know that the huge slide makes for a sluggish blow back, hopefully this version will eliminate that problem.
