Hey guys so I've been looking on the forum and I've noticed how many people would like a M40. Well then Good new is Ares is coming out with one this May. According to them the internals will be VSR compatible and its going to run Under $200. So for those who were interested in getting a M40 the wait is soon to be over.

Hopefully its stock isn't as bad as spring shotgun. Seeing as its going to be sub $200, they had to have skimped on some part of the gun.

If I get a job over the summer I'm totally getting one and an AEP!

 

[akfortyseven]

I'll wait for the reviews then see if i want one. Cause I want a VSR bad!

 

[wesley810]

I agree with flippin. How can it be this cheap?!? The price just doesn't sound right, especially seeing how much their other rifles cost.

There's a video already with bob the axe man on airsoft gi. Seems alright, very one to one looking. Body that comes with it is Kinda cheap looking, but the bedding kit should fix that.

I'll buy it just for the stock, the rest will most likely be crap like all other Ares products!

I'll put a Tanaka M700 in that stock.

So glad to see something's replaced the Fortress M40A3 stock. I'll definitely be getting one for my VSR when they're released.

 

[mattm99958]

There doing some sort of custom orders on it where you can decide what you make the stock out of you can have it range from crappy plastic to fiber glass which they use for the real stock. Also they used the molds of the real firearms for the airsoft body.

My opinion on Ares has now changed! I love 'em!

 

[felix]

The whole bolt and magazine placement is actually realistic, with a real magazine and realistic placement, you'll have to drill a lot

As Woogie noticed they copied the TM L96 system.

I was thinking to buy a real McMillan A4 stock (pay the $700 and wait for 4 months) but with the Ares version coming in a few months and costing only $200 I can buy 3 if I screw up!

[mattm99958]

Or you could spend the $700 on a McMaillan stock from ares and not wait 4 months. Well i guess you would have to because it doesn't come out until may but still.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Hey have you tried to contact Ares lately??

Well I have and I'm keep sending mails (one or twice a week) since last November!!
Imagine to pay for the gun and stock and then not hear from them!
And think I want just the round base for one of the bipod legs of my DSR-1!

I would never asked them to do any custom job! I would take forever....!

Good point

I am very curious about these. If they don't turn out to be crappy I might pick one up. But I want to wait for other people to buy them first and start doing some reviews.

Don't worry, once they hit evike, there will be a ton of newbs making crappy, low quality reviews on youtube. I think it would be worth it to wait for them though, just in case the rifle has any problems.

 

[Wolfgeorge]

Which it will...!! I'm sure about it!

I like the fact that the mag is in the correct location. I don't know anything about springers, but the VSR seems to be a very popular and proven platform. And as long as the stock isn't brittle like that other m40 out there. I think I might pick up a boneyard or possibly break down and buy a new one as long as they aren't complete trash.

 

[flippin]

Maybe they shouldn't of made an entire gun and just sold a high quality stock. That would probably sell faster/better.
