If you compare an airsoft M1 Carbine (Marushin) to an airsoft Sten (AGM / VIVA) you'll notice that you have roughly 3 less inches to work with in regards to the M1 Carbine being fitted with a mechbox. Stens have a much longer receiver than the M1 Carbine. The trigger on a Mk2 Sten is roughly where the stock begins (or ends depending on your point of view) on an M1 Carbine.

If you compare an airsoft M1 Cabine to an airsoft M14 you'll notice that you have at least 3 inches less to work with in regards to the M1 Carbine being fitted with a mechbox. The M1 Carbine magwell is place right after the trigger guard. The M14 magwell is out a bit further. The stock on an M1 Carbine is much narrower and slimmer when compared to an M14.

This has been discussed ad nauseum on asian, american and british ww2 airsoft boards. Yes, some hobbyists have made some M1 Carbine AEG but the results haven't been exactly worthwhile. These have usually invovled modified aep gearboxes if my memory seves me correct.

The KJW 10/22 GBBR and it's M1 Carbine conversion is the most promising option on the horizon IMHO (They gotta do something about the mag)

Back on topic.

I'd very pleasant surprised if ICS made ww2 gas guns. But the AEG's would be more than fine. I am curious if they'll make the Garand top feeding.

WE is supposed to be working on a GBB Sten and Grease Gun.

Edit: forgot the G&G Kar98K

Zeta Lab is working on a B.A.R and a PPSH-41.

Ares is working on an accurate looking M1928 (not those Cyma / KA bastardizations)

I should have a Zeta Lab Mosin Nagant M44 springer shortly. Looking forward to that too.
