NEW APO-LICENSED SNIPER RIFLE
VegaForceCompany has announced its release of the long-awaited ASW338LM. Licensed by
Ashbury Precision Ordnance (APO), the APO ASW338LM will stay faithful to the original –
expect it to weigh around 6kg – and will be VSR-10 compatible on the inside (good news for
mod junkies).
According to pre-release material the ASW338LM was designed using Ashbury’s 3D
drawings to ensure 100 per cent accuracy in terms of parts and handling. The rifle is fitted
with an AEG barrel so can be easily upgraded. The upper rail is CNC steel while the receiver
is diecast aluminium. An optional upgrade kit allows for the use of up to an M150 spring. The
ASW338LM also comes equipped with an integral muzzle brake, sound suppression system
and detachable box mag. Information is scarce at present, though the rifle will be distributed
by ActionSportGames. Pricing and release dates will be published on our Facebook page
(www.facebook.com/AirsoftAction) when available.
