The ARES M40A6 in true-to-life Airsoft recreation of the real thing. It features the same modular rail system, modular adjustable folding stock, and improved ergonomics. The rifle sports a full length 20mm Picatinny upper rail which is ideal for all kinds of optics. Internally the rifle features a high-power spring system that makes this a formidable rifle choice on any field of play.

The M40 variants of sniper rifles have had a long lifespan in the US Marine Corps, dating back all the way to 1966. The rifle has undergone many changes over the years, mostly to update features as firearms technology progresses. The M40A6 is the latest and greatest in that pursuit of improving the venerable M40 rifle.

An upgrade from the preceding A5 variant, the M40A6 has a completely different chassis featuring a full-length modular rail system, expanding the potential to mount & position rifle accessories. Further improvements were made on the ergonomics of the rifle with the integration of a pistol grip, and a fully modular stock with adjustable cheek piece and length of pull. The stock also folds, which when paired with the A6's shorter barrel allows the rifle to be packed in a bag for long hauls and treks.

Legal Information

iWholesales Ltd is a trade-only supplier ofAirsoft recreational equipment. Airsoft is a popular, non-lethal sporting hobby in the UK, legally and safely categorized alongside common activities like paintball and gel blasting.

1. A Safe & Regulated Hobby
  • Recreational Nature: Airsoft is an organized sporting activity focused on teamwork and target play, much like paintball.
  • Safety Tested: These items are engineered to discharge lightweight 6mm plastic pellets that are non-lethal and designed specifically for hobbyist use.
  • Legal Status: Under the Firearms Act 1968 (Section 57A), airsoft products are not considered firearms because they operate at very low energy levels.
2. Muzzle Energy & Safety Limits

To ensure these items remain safe for recreational play, they strictly follow the kinetic energy limits set by UK law:

  • Fully Automatic Models: These are capped at 1.3 Joules.
  • Single Shot Models: These are capped at 2.5 Joules.
  • Toy-Like Characteristics: Because they fire only plastic or part-plastic spherical missiles (max 8mm diameter) at these low energies, they are legally recognized as safe recreational tools.
3. Restricted Professional Ecosystem (B2B)
