Javelin = New rebrand Company.

Postby Cap n pickles » Wed Nov 17, 2010 7:35 pm

I believe it is true.

APS recently came out with a line of AKs and a large amount of M platform weapons too.

Javelin follows soon after, and judging by the pictures:

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=7325 APS AK

http://www.airsoftgi.com/product_info.p ... ts_id=7314 Javelin AK

I would have to say Javelin is just another rebrander. Yay.

The only things I can certainly speculate is this:

comes in a javelin branded box and sometimes with javelin trades on the receiver.

I do the m24 is an exact copy of the snow wolf m24. i have opened up both.

anything else would be speculation.

The trades are kinda neat. I'll be reviewing the Javelin M4 I won in the LOW raffle soon, including a review of the internals.

Well, I may skip mine, then. I was operating under the impression no one had done it yet.

So what's the big deal if it's a rebrand? That can have a very positive effect on availability and pricing for the entire product line.

Just a little tid bit in case you don't already know. A guy I know at Spartan told be they were bought by Cyber Gun. So it is no longer owned by Airsoft Extreme but for now there hasn't been any change in personnel.

That's a solid review, but it's missing something that's becoming an increasing issue as more companies begin producing STANAG magazines.

Mid caps & Standards-
STAR: Some feeding issues. Had to press bottom of mag up toward replica to get it to feed.
CA: Feeds fine on semi and full
Real Sword: Feeds fine on semi and full
Magpul PTS: Some feeding issues. Had to press bottom of mag up toward replica to get it to feed.


High Caps-
CA: Feeds fine on semi and full
Javelin: Feeds fine on semi and full
Echo 1: Feeds fine on semi and full
ICS: Some feeding issues. Had to press bottom of mag up toward replica to get it to feed.
