UMAREX Brand

Postby Mack » Tue Apr 20, 2010 7:26 am

Does anyone know who actually makes the Umarex brand? I thought I had heard that G&G or KWA was making them. Did a search and couldn't find any definite answers.

I know that they have the rights to have HK trades stateside. I was cruising through their site and saw that they have a 416 GBBR. Does anyone know what style mags they take? WE, WA or proprietary?

from what adam and i could discern at the shot show, the UMAREX 416 GBB and their pistols looked proprietary.

I have researched it, and it looks to me like the Echo1 of Europe but they actually make some guns.

Thanks guys. There's a NRA gun show in Charlotte that I'm going to try go to next month. They're on the vendor list so, I'll try to ask them. Although I know if it's some kind of rebrand they may not say what it is.

They're like echo 1 and have a whole list of different manufacturers based on what gun it is. I do know that they are the ones who put the umarex trademarks on the KWA Mp7 and have seen several spring pistols that are made in china, but are licensed by Umarex.
It's a shame that they are the only ones that Heckler and Koch allow to officially license their trademarks because they suck.

Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent,
