I would appreciate more info. Thanks for any responses.

I was just wondering if there is anyone else on these boards in the Southern part of the UK?

I'm based right down in Kent.

Be great to hear from you!

A quick search today shows several sellers selling the GSG 5 and AK. There appears to be no shortage of them still in the shops. There are even a Proper moderated versions of the GSG5 (Not the SD version)

Interesting is to see that Alexander of Guntrader is selling the Colt in both M16 and M4 versions - I wonder how he is getting the Collapsible stock out of the States?

I had a long conversation with Wayne at http://www.nwcustomparts.com/index.htm this morning and he confirmed that he is working hard at getting the S&W, Colt and Sig in from the states.

Apparently the US State dept are being funny about the collapsible stocks, which is holding everything up. But he says that he has over 100 people trying to give him deposits to get their hands on these.

What Wayne did say, is that he is having no problem getting his Spikes in to the Country and when people handle them they soon opt for that design. They are fully interchangeable with AR15/M4 parts, so you can put all the custom bits on, like extended mag release catches, extended safety and of course all the furniture you want.

They are also interchangeable with .223 uppers, which if you combine the cost of a .22 and .223 makes the price appear more reasonable.

I asked him how they compare with SGC V22's and after he stopped laughing, he said that they are in a different league - end of - no argument. People sell their V22's to buy Spikes.

Wayne is attending the Gun Show in Newark in February and he will be taking a lot of these along, go talk to him and see what he has on the shelf. (If you are a full bore shooter look at the McRees stock - In my opinion it's the future)!
