Seems like Denix is releasing an M16. I sadly have no other information except this site from Sweden.
However all of there others replicas are from Denix so I guess its have to be them? Its all metal, you can pull the trigger
and bolt the gun and take out the magasine.

Yes, they areā€¦

As far as I know, its arrived in Australia and there are two (2) only with ACS at the moment, pending that "approval" another order possibly in May.

The two are in the hands of a dealer in QLD, one headed to NSW. Quality isn't stellar from what I've seen, very poor finishes IMHO.

Interesting info cheers mate..

Denix is not renowned for good finishes so I guess its no surprise!

Best

The first models show up here in Germany for EUR 149 Euro.

Anyway I would prefer a Marushin M16 which should be available for EUR 350 here in Germany. Some details on the Denix are just not right. Anyway I am known as a nitpicker and I have handled a real deact M16A1 as well as a M16 from premium modelgunmaker HobbyFix. But judge yourself by the pics.

Is it like the MP44 and the bolt cover stays closed (one pice construction) if so, this makes it problematic as a movie prop, beyond background, and we have airsoft for that already.

How hard is it to make a movable bolt cover even when cheap Chinese AEGs have it? People working in Denix are real nuts scratch

I had the chance to take a close look at one of these closely on Sunday and I have to say, its disappointing to say the least. Denix are not known for their quality builds and this one is not exception IMO, its sloppily put together, manufactured and presented and it carries illogical shortcuts which are hard to understand.

I have no doubt that it would be possible to upgrade this with a fair bit of reworking and remodelling that would take advantage of the weight and overall form. I have also noticed on other threads that parts seem to be interchangeable with genuine pieces - with some modification - so I guess its potentially not all bad..

For the retail price in Australia of $800.00 + however, it falls so far short of decent value for money.

These are now available in the U.K, or at least the wholeseller has them in stock anyway.
