Evike.com are expecting the arrival of S&T Speed 40mm M203 Airsoft Grenade Launcher that will be sold under their Matrix brand next month... "The 'Speed' M203 comes with 2 attachment kits to mount on all 20mm / picatinny rails for quick attachment / detachment or barrel for those looking for a more compact fitting!

The Matrix 'SPEED' series M203 Launcher retailed all the features you will come to expect from an Airsoft m203 launcher but with drastically decreased weight utilizing high strength molded polymer material while providing battle-ready durability. Every "Speed" M203 is completed with 3 sets of mounts to ensure the highest versatility of fitting on 99% of the rifles in the market.

The M203 grenade launcher is one of the most effective and devastating tools in the Airsofts arsenal. Capable of using a wide variety of shells the M203 launcher can shoot anything from BB's and paintballs to foam rockets and Nerf footballs. Generally these underslung launchers add an immense amount of weight to your weapon of choice and make it unwieldy and a challenge to maneuver with. However now with the S&T polymer M203 launcher, you can enjoy all of the benefits of adding a M203 launcher to your build without adding a ton of weight to your front end. Built from durable injection molded polymer, the S&T polymer M203 is as durable and reliable as its metal alloy compatriot and offers the same level of reliability and performance at half the weight. Capable of being mounted directly to most popular M4/M16 Airsoft outer barrels the S&T polymer M203 can also mount to most 20mm accessory rails with the included 20mm RIS adapter, making this M203 a truly versatile piece of equipment to add to your arsenal.

• Fits most popular Airsoft 40mm style Airsoft grenade shells

• Compatibility: All rifles with 20mm accessory rails. Included additional mount for specific M4 / M16 series Airsoft outer barrels.

The first airsoft version of the AK-12, the NPOAEG AK-12 Full Steel AEG, is now in stock at RedWolf Airsoft... "The Kalashnikov AK-12 (formerly АK-200) is the newest derivative of the Soviet/Russian AK-pattern series of assault rifles and was proposed for possible general issue to the Russian Army. In late September 2013, the AK-12 was passed over by the Russian military, but it was announced in December 2014 that it had passed state tests and now is being evaluated by Russian Army as well as its competitor the A-545 (modernized AEK-971).

The AK-12 uses the same gas-operated long-stroke piston system of previous Kalashnikov rifles, but many features are radically different from other guns in its family. The light version has the ability to change calibers by swapping barrels. The standard caliber is 5.45×39mm and can be changed to 7.62×39mm and 5.56×45mm. Other intermediate calibers are expected. The heavy version will fire the larger 7.62×51mm NATO cartridge. It is fed through standard AK-74M 30-round magazines and can accept RPK-74 45-round magazines. The 7.62 Soviet-chambered version is compatible with AKM/RPK 30-round and 40-round magazines and 75-round drums. Magazines specifically for the AK-12 under development include a 30-round magazine with bolt-catch actuator, a 60-round quad-stack magazine, and a 95-round drum. The AK-12 is very different from its predecessors ergonomically. The stock is telescoping and in-line with the barrel for better recoil control. It also features a stock latch on the stock itself, allowing for it to be folded to either side of the rifle. It has a rubber height-adjustable cheek piece and butt plate. The cocking handle is moved forward and can be attached to both sides for ambidextrous use. The receiver is hinged and more rigid with a Picatinny rail for mounting optics. There are several other accessory rails on the weapon, including on both sides and the bottom of the handguard, on top of the handguard (in-line with the receiver for a longer monolithic rail), and on top of the gas block. A lug under the gas chamber can mount a GP-34 grenade launcher, and one under the front sight holder mounts a bayonet. The rear iron sight is further back on the receiver and can be set for aiming when the stock is extended or folded. The magazine release is in the same position but can be used by the trigger finger to detach magazines. In a departure from previous AK-type rifles, the dust cover safety selector has been replaced with an ambidextrous fire selector; it has four positions for safe, semiautomatic, three-round burst fire, and fully automatic fire. Fully automatic rate of fire is 600 rounds per minute, but on a three-round burst it fires at 1,000 rounds per minute. Other improvements include a smaller ejection port, more ergonomic pistol grip, improved rifling, and muzzle brake with a 22 mm threading that can fire NATO standard rifle grenades.

NPOAEG is a Russian-based company that has been making the closest replicas to the real ones since Sept 2011 for half a decade. All guns are made in Russia, where the original firearms were designed. In terms of material the whole gun is made with CNC steel furniture are made with premium polymer / real wood. Welding and rivets are all actual welds and rivets, not just decorations. Finishing on the guns might be a bit raw, but that is how it is supposed to be when it comes to Russian weapons, raw, slightly awkward yet reliable in every condition, you know you can count on it in every condition.

Fully constructed in steel with polymer handguard and grip, it was crafted in the closest ratio to the real one. Powered by a standard V3 gearbox with a 6.02mm precision inner barrel you know it would be reliable and would fit a variety of standard version 3 gearbox aftermarket parts."

The founder and CEO of Magpul Industries, Richard Fitzpatrick, will officially retire by March 2017. He designed the original "Quick Pull" for the M16A2 magazine 24 years ago and eventually it was called "Magpul" and from there, he established the company bearing the same name which is now one of the more respected companies in the firearms industries and the tactical community. Press release below:

Magpul Announces Retirement of Richard Fitzpatrick

AUSTIN TEXAS, February 14, 2017 – Magpul Industries Corp today announced the retirement of Magpul Founder and CEO Richard Fitzpatrick.   Richard made the decision to retire in September 2016 with an effective date of March 2, 2017, his 50th birthday.  While Richard will be retiring from day-to-day operations at the company, he will remain involved as a major shareholder and member of the Magpul Board of Directors.

Twenty-four years ago, as an enlisted Marine, Richard sketched the attached drawing for the “Quick Pull” for M16 rifle magazines. It was five years later when this idea was refined into the original “Magpul” and, in 1999, Richard started a company named after the original product.  Working from his basement, Richard was its sole employee while working 3 jobs to provide startup capital for the endeavor. Today, Magpul stands as one of the largest producers of firearm magazines and accessories in the world, with over 200 products.  While the company has grown, its core values continue to drive every aspect of the company.

Richard made the decision to retire in 2016 based on his belief that Magpul has a cultural foundation and a robust and talented team that can carry forward his vision for the company.  In his communication to Magpul employees, Richard stated, “I want to thank everyone who has joined me in building something I could never have imagined 24 years ago when I made the first drawing of the original Magpul concept.  Magpul has been the center of my life for so long, that I cannot clearly remember being without it, so this decision was extremely hard for me to make. As Magpul stays true to its published foundations, we will continue to attract talent, build great things and most importantly stay relevant to people’s lives.”

In preparation for Richard’s new role, Magpul has spent the past six months adjusting management functions for a seamless transition. Doug Smith will serve as President and COO and continue directing day-to-day operations and business functions, as he has since 2004.  Duane Liptak, a former United States Marine Corps Officer with an Aviation and Marine Special Operations background, who joined Magpul in 2012, has been promoted to Executive Vice President and will assume further responsibility over Richard’s role in product vision and marketing.  Mike Mayberry, who joined Magpul in 2004, will continue as Vice President of Product Development providing the same innovative design quality for function and aesthetics that Magpul has been known for. Brad Bennett, who joined Magpul in 2007, has been promoted to Vice President of Engineering and will continue to expand the Design and Engineering group, and Carey Ryerson, who joined Magpul in 2012, has been promoted to Vice President of Manufacturing Operations.

Magpul was established on Richard’s ingenuity and grew under Richard’s unyielding leadership and vision. Today the company is stronger than ever and will continue to grow and expand under the founding core values that drives every aspect of the company.  Richard will continue to serve a critical role for Magpul, but today, we celebrate the dedication, hard work, and vision of our Founder as he enters a new phase of his professional life.

About Magpul

Founded in 1999, Magpul was launched to manufacture an innovative device to aid in the manipulation of rifle magazines while reloading under stress. The company’s name comes from the original product called the Magpul. Over the last decade Magpul has continued to grow and develop into additional product areas using much the same mission and process with a focus on innovation, creativity, and efficiency.
