      About time! Fantastic news for me... no so much my wallet!

      Question is do I join the AEG dark side or wait and hope someone will eventually make a gas one...

              A quick look on the Ares Facebook suggests the wood furniture is made from actual wood.

              From my understanding (as the SLR was way before my time), the plastic furniture were the standard on issued rifles after the mid '60/ early 70s, with the wooden ones retained for special occasions? Can any of the old and bold amongst here shed some light into this?

              Can't quite decide which to go for, wood or plastic...

                Wood furniture was still about in the early to mid 80's, though a rarity and well sought after. I was pretty young then but here's a pic taken in Germany 1984.

                  Here's a better pic.
                  will have to get the wooden one now to go with my ABS version (cue excuses in my head on what I'm going to tell the wife).

                        It's a bold move by Ares to be honest, as the rifle is not modern looking to today's newer airsoft players, I can only imagine they believe that there is a market for it, weather it's the older version spruced up, with upgraded (or not) internals, time will tell. After all, they still have the mouldings and tooling to produce more, and I like the fact that they planning a wooden stocked version, it adds a bit to the appeal for some, although pricing wise I expect it to be way more pricier than the plastic stocked version.
                        I have to admit, I have never owned the Ares version of the L1a1, only the last batch of KA L1A1 that were brought into the U.K a few years ago, although I always regret not buying an Ares L1A1 up for sale on the forum some years ago, it was fitted with a genuine issue wooden furniture, but also it had the early circle holed front fore end, which appealed to me personally.

                          To be fair, all ares needed to do was search the forums for the "l1a1 threads", would have been enough to tell them that it was worth a punt.
                          For buyers it's good all round, an influx of more SLR's should also bring down the occasional s/h gun that comes along, up to now they've always been still silly money.
                          Great news though, just gotta decide whether to have the wooden or plastic furniture ?............wood has the edge atm

                            It is a hard chose but if you buy two one can be sprayed for artic warfare and wood for all other times and for those guys who are married it would be a good xmas presant for there hubbies to keep the quiet and out the way.
                            Ive alway like them and was upset when i was in the cadets i didnt get to shot one down the range just got to find a pair of light weights trousers dpm jacket and happy days

                              Defiantly Wood for me as well, now let's wait for the price....I say about £370.00 for the wooden stocked version.

                              Bang goes the new bike...
