Trying to find a rifle

I am looking to buy a VFC m4es mark 12 AEG rifle. I tried getting one at a local store (Hamilton) but the supplier is out of stock and it may be awhile.

So does anyone know of a retailer that carries this gun and is in stock? If so, please pm me.

While on the topic, anyone have other suggestions for a spr type rifle? I'm a fan of the ar15 based rifles. I considered a sr25, but they are usually out of my price range.

Thanks

Really? Really?

Have you double checks or triple checks the classifieds and retailer sections? You shouldn't asks you this question here. You should know better. I was about to make fun of you, but notice you are age verified. Than some kids trying to undermined the system by asking these questions.

Sent you a PM.

Hope the info helps in picking an alternative for now. Otherwise I have it on good word that there might be some Mk.12's landing in Canada sometime before the next 3 months.

meh, IMO u might as well build ur own, in terms of exterior build quality u cant compare the Avalon (VFC) MK12 to a E series one. Avalon is like wayy better but they are discontinued apparently according to WGC not sure tho, prob can find one at some random retailer. but yeah u might as well build one, im planning on building one too

Seeing as how this will be my first full
Metal aeg, I'd rather buy a good one right out of the box than build one. I've done alot of research and I'm kinda set on vfc lol I hear alot of good things about their builds internally and externally. If I have to wait abit for them to come into canada, that's fine. I just don't wanna wait 3 months, not get one at all, and pass up on other rifles in the meantime.

I would second on building your own. VFC externals are awesome but they're internals are nothing to brag about. Either go with a different brand at a lower price and upgrade it, or build a custom one. I usually throw away VFC internals when I get it.

They'd be fine to run stock for awhile. Then do a whole gearbox internal swap in the future

I think VFC internals are fairly good. Not top notch stuff like Prommy or SystemA, or whatever but on a whole I like the VFC parts for what they are, great for starters and intermediate players but when you want to step it up then you're going to either get a PTW or top notch parts like Prommy.

They've always occupied the high end price range but not too long ago their guns used plastic bushings, which as fucking retarded.
