I'm resurrecting this thread because I'm curious if anybody has found another one yet? Looks like all the makers (PDS TMC) stopped production of the full length ones. I'm looking also. All the ones on the usual suspects, EBB, AirsoftGI, Evike, Redwolf etc. are all shorter K versions made by G&G, Classic Army, or SRC...or ugly Chinese ones that are completely different design.

The easiest way is to count the holes on the top row. The full length one has 8 holes. The K version has 6 holes. I can't even reach the Tokyo Model Company (TMC) website right now, seems to be down. Hope they are not out of business.

Arrgh, Airsoft is frustrating enough with restricted items that you can't get in easily - but discontinued items/rare parts takes the cake for the worst feeling in airsoft (other than getting your teeth shot out). Finally get myself an Army Code reciever and now I start wanting all these things they made like 5 years ago before it was all crap Chinese stuff of strange design.

Hilariously, I have Kengel's right now (he did eventually find one, but it had to be dremeled like crazy to fit) and I find I like it quite a bit but need to give it back. I'll have to ask him if it is real steel or not.
