ask about the G&G Kar 98, the ICS M1 garand, and the ARES M1 garand if you would please. and if WE is there, i am curious as to when their P90 GBBR will be released.

Netshark993,

First, your beloved Tommy Gun; now Kar98 and M1 Garands?  I'm sensing a pattern.  LOL.   I'll see what I can do.

My understanding is G & G is here but they don't have a booth.  I haven't had any luck finding anyone who can speak for the company.

I will check distributers tomorrow, looking for someone who can give me info on ICS or WE.

Brendon,

You have me at the disadvantage.  What, exactly, is "Classic Army's SCAR problem" ?

Brendon.  They can sell and make the CA Scars.  Remember i told you about the licence.  Spartan has the licence to carry Scars.  Taking down the posters were only during the time where they were waiting for that licence.

Are you sure you're not thinking of someone else? Because I would have a SCAR now if I was to remember, either that or you sounded like a school teacher when you said so. Anyways, all around, nice to know.

Netshark:

I checked on the WE GBB P90.  It's not licensed yet so it's not cuurently available here in the US.  My understanding is negotiations are underway.

ARES M1?  I haven't been able to find out anything.

ICS M1?  Spartan did not know anything about it. They mentioned the Marushin M1 but I trust you already knew about that one.

Brendon,

I spoke with Spartan this afternoon.  Spartan is not importing Classic Army SCAR replicas due to licensing issues.  Spartan is importing the VFC SCAR, both because VFC has a license and because the VFC build quality is so good. 

They're right about the build quality.  I got to hold it.  It's nice and solid.  Because VFC has a license, it's also got full trademarks.  It looks sweet.

I'm working on my Spartan entry.  You can see the completed Spartan entry in the Diary thread.

the Marushins are a big steaming pile... they have 3 known parts to break that noone makes a stronger replacement for. and the ares only has a few protype pics, the ICS hasbeen announced but no pics of info as of yet from what i see. thanks for checking for me joe.

Brendon,

I need to add I don't know if Spartan has any Classic Army SCARs in stock.  And then, I don't know the legal starus of any in-stock Classic Army SCAR inventory.  You can always ask--the worst answer you'll get is, "No.". Followed by, "But we have the VFC one with full trades for about the same price."
