Smile Need Advise! mp-40?

Hi

I have a bit of a dilemma. I have been doing a lot of research on the AGM MP-40 and have found that the price difference from Canada and the US are very different. In some cases the difference is almost 350$!. Is there any advise on what to do or will I have to resort to getting a cheaper Ak47 from buyairsoft.ca which from what I have seen the service there is terrible.



Thanks,

They're even cheaper from Hong Kong but since you cannot import them from either the US or HK you really do not have a choice but to purchase them from a Canadian retailer.

What gun to buy depends on what impression you want to put together. If you are going for a WWII German kit then purchase the MP40. But if you just want an airsoft weapon then buy whatever you would like or can afford.

There are several guys in our group that have the MP40 and as far as I know have had very little problems with them.

I'm very happy with my AGM MP 40, and as soon as the mods are done on my TOP MP40 I'm thinking it's gonna be pretty hot as well.

Other than the battery it comes with sucks and needs immediate upgrade I havn't found any. It is quite serviceable.

I have the AGM, (non-Bakelight) and manged to fall on it with my considerable bulk moving at a pretty good pace and only did some cosmetic damage that has not impacted performance at all. For a budget SMG I think the accuracy and rate of fire are quite good.

I did a similar thing. Bent my cocking lever a bit, but managed to bend it back. I've got to find a way to make the cocking lever return by spring but other then that she's good the way she is.

My friend has the AGM-MP40. It isnt the best. But it looks great. I think you don't know much about Canadian guns and the States guns.

And how old are you

The AGM one is probably better than the TOP, at least from what I've heard from people who have both. The only way you're going to get either in Canada is to have 007 or Shootsoft import them for you. If you want the StG 44 be prepared to pay out of the ass for it.
