SOCOM Gear sent in notice yesterday about the delayed release of their upcoming M82A1 Barrett Sniper Rifle replica. It's not a major delay, as they are hopeful that it's just 15 days not months like some other manufacturers. Priced at US$850 which is cheaper than previous offerings and the first 100 pieces have already been sold out on pre-orders through Hong Kong and US distributors and retailers... "M82A1 will be released in 15 days (Hopefully).
SOCOM Gear has sent in this first impression report of the upcoming M82A1 rifle. This is written by someone who is also based in Taiwan and here is what he concludes... "I have seen many Barrett M82A1 airsoft replicas including Smokey's spring loaded M82A1 with shell ejection, Hurricane M82A1 AEG, and VFC 8mm gas M82A1. Disregard the internal mechanism and performance behind the design concept, their prices are extremely expensive, and outer appearances are not quite realistic as well.
