Haven't posted here in a long time, I'll restart with this Scored a steel version Bear Paw SVU GBB a while ago and wanted something special in regards of optics for it. Looked around a bit and finally got my hands on a rare 1P21 scope - very large russian scope that has been used on the SVD. I'm not sure if any of these have ever been used on the real SVU, standard for this was the PSO-1 scope. It's also not possible to mount large scope mounts like the one of the 1P21 on an SVU without disassembling it, as these are pushed onto the side rail from the rear, which can't be

Joining in with a Dominator M870 + wood kit. Really like that one, steel all the way!

Finally got this after a long ordeal of shipping horrors and german bureaucracy... Tokyo Marui Springfield V10 GBB with all the bells and whistles from Guarder's stainless steel program: Slide, outer, frame, hammerspringhousing, slidecatch, hammer, safety, gripsafety in stainless steel, front and rear sight in steel. Plus Kimpoi wood grips with Springfield logo.

Yay for Nationale Volksarmee!

Family pic, let's call this "evolution of old school Armalite replica models" Can post detail pics, if anyone's interested, just let me know. Left to right: - MGC M16A1 modelgun 1st Gen, late 60s, full metal, not entirely accurate replica, has that famous screw holding together upper and lower instead of a forward assist, internally completely different than a real AR - MGC XM177E2 modelgun 1st Gen, same series as the M16A1 - MGC M16/CP (M16A1), PFC modelgun, probably early 80s, a lot of plastic on this one and no authentic markings, but otherwise faithful copy

1,5 years without pics in this thread - are there no airsoft machineguns around? Ah well, then I'll post another one: Inokatsu M60E3 - pretty nice gun with the steel receiver, but honestly it's a bit disappointing, that it came with aluminum trunnion, aluminum outerbarrel and aluminum gasblock. Managed to source one of the rare Inokatsu steel kits with steel trunnion (which also has more authentic markings than the aluminum trunnion), steel outerbarrel and steel gasblock, so now everything that has to be steel is Also got a RetroArms gearbox with better internals, a

Oh, sorry for the late reply Comes in at 5,5 kg without the accessoires, full monty with scope, bipod, silencer and foregrip, it's at about 6,7 kg.

Something a bit different: WE M14 (with Ra-Tech trigger group) inside a realsteel TROY S.A.S.S. (Semi Automatic Sniper System) chassis. Very nice high-end chassis, CNC aluminum, the M14 needs a few adjustments, the trigger box doesn't fit in flawlessly yet. Will see how to fix that.

Collecting for quite a while now, still happy as a child, when I get my hands on something rare - in this case, the happyness is accompanied by something like awe, as it doesn't get much rarer than this Tanaka Colt SAA Casyopea (which already is rare as hell in and of itself, as these were banned in Japan together with their Casyopea counterpart, the S&W M500) with a Prime CNC Brass Kit (possibly the only brass kit for Casyopea in existence, either a mod of a Pegasus brass kit, or Prime has begun to build one of these, but stopped when the Casyopeas were banned in Japan). The loa

Recently aquired, can't remember when I saw one of these offered for sale the last time - so it makes me pretty happy, that I finally got one I live in Germany, thus the "cut out" nono-symbols

Finally got something that had been on my list for quite a while now. And to boot, it's the gun of a deceased friend, which he had sold off prior to his death and which has now found its way to me on mysterious pathways 😌 Hephaestus HTS-14 Groza, 1st version, with the early full steel silencer and a Pilar scope (civil version of the military scope, that belongs on the Groza but is extremely hard to find), Just need different mount rings, these look aweful. Really happy about this! ☺️

Recent acquirement, one that needed a total brain-shutdown 😋 WE Desert Eagle with ALC full steel kit and realsteel MAK grips. Got it used from HongKong, so it wasn't as expensive as a new ALC kit (which really costs an arm and a leg), but still the most expensive pistol I ever bought... it definately is an EXTREMELY impressive GBB kit, everything in that kit is CNC machined steel: Slide, frame, front part, sights, trigger, slidecatch + disassembly lever, safety, hammer. This one is the somewhat rarer version in dark chrome. Altogether this DE now weighs in at 2.283g, which is ab

Sorry to hear that @CatgutViolin As I did not get any response to my last 3 emails, we gave up. It's obvious, that the only way we could go now is taking legal action, but suing a shop on the other side of the world is far too much effort for 300 USD. And they obviously know this. So I complimented them on having found a reliable way to rip off foreign customers and after staying polite and business-like for dozens of mails I politely asked them to go *fruitcage* themselves. 🤬

Something I've been hunting for quite a while now: Hudson IMI Jericho 941 GBB, silver version Very rare gun from the early 2000's, uses the Maruzen GBB system from their P99. One of only 3 airsoftguns Hudson has ever built and the only GBB of this pistol. Had to install wood grips on this (they're almost drop in, just have to remove a little from the heightened wood part on the inside, so that it fits the pocket of the frame), back then I only found ones with the newer "IWI" name. Recently found ones with "IMI", they're on their way now Surprisingly tight me

Got my grips and DE this weekend. Now I get what you meant with that "spacer", there's not a gap between the frame and the grips, but a gap between the two halves of the grips 😅 Well, that can be a real pain, when you chose grips with a pattern in the wood, going around the back... like I did... Just making a spacer isn't enough, you have to copy the wood pattern with the spacer. That will be pretty annoying and looking terrible when something goes wrong 😝 Will keep you updated!

Hate to do something like that, but this is getting ridiculous... I reckon most of you here know SWIT Airsoft in Taiwan, it definately is an interesting store with cool, out of the ordinary items and custom stuff. This is the story of an order at SWIT, that has become an ordeal, which started in May 2020 and is still going on! A friend of mine and I ordered an EMG Steel TTI Combat Master at Swit, plan was, that I get the steel slide + outer, he keeps the rest for a project. Back then, in May 2020, Shipping with EMS wasn't possible, due to the pandemic - that was tot

Thanks a lot guys! 👍

Can you give a few hints on what to do to fit real grips on this? Will receive mine end of the week and would like to put realsteel grips on it, too, but it's hard to find pics or info on what has to be done 😑🙂

GHK AKM with steel outer, Hephaestus steel trigger parts, recoil kit, LCT steel PBS-1, Ra-Tech wood grip and several mags (2 of which are ProWin mags, which have one of the dumbest fill-valve designs of all third party GBB mag manufacturers out there - can't fill the mag without the help of a pretty long adapter piece, as the valves sit in a deep recess of the body 🙄) GHK AK74 with steel outer, aluminum PBS-4, Hephaestus clone of the 40 rounds mag, bayonet, and a realsteel PK-A red dot

Are these the 40mm grenade versions of the Panzerfaust? Looking good, just a few type-os in the german lettering

Sounds like a good plan Wolf A fellow from the GGE forums here in Germany has dumped a lot of work into the Socom Gear M107, changing and polishing the feeding ramp, the chamber, the shells, machined them down and added threaded front parts, that can be swapped out, when they're damaged... but it still does not work correctly 100%... pretty much a total design desaster However, here's some more pics. Not a DMR by any means, but this seems to be the sniper-thread now anyway Asahi M40A1 (I reckon most of you here know about the history of these) with a Kitagawa Seizosho Unertl U

From plastic with that Woodsman above to steel Recently got my hands on a rare FPR full steel Kimber Raptor. Externally an incredibly beautiful gun! High end CNC steel, everything fits perfectly, almost all the small parts (magcatch, slidecatch, safeties, sights) are steel aswell. Plus very nice wood grips and a highend wood box to boot. Internally these older models are standard Marui, which in itself is fine, but not for heavy steel slides. As far as I can tell, FPR has developed their own blowbackunit by now, but a few years ago, everything was stock TM. Thus, I installed a Volan

Unfortunately it is "just" a modelgun, Shoei have released only their MP44, MG42 and G43 models with Escort internals. There has never been a FG42 airsoftgun, not even among Classics, where you sometimes find models noone today knew that they exist in the airsoft world (like AR18, Bushmaster, Jericho e.g.). S&T announced that they're plannung to build a FG42 GBB, which would be awesome... if only it wasn't S&T... However, Shoei's FG42 modelgun is so much fun to handle. You can manually cycle dummy rounds and they have even copied the realdeal's system: Open bolt on fullauto,

Let's go on with this thread here, too One of the very few non-airsoft modelguns in the collection: Shoei FG42 late version. If you ever get the opportunity to get your hands on one of these, take it! They re superbly built and incredibly nice collector's pieces. Had 2 of them for a while, the one without scope is sold by now. The one with scope has a very rare real ZF4 with even rarer, highly professionally reproduced Krieghoff mount rings made of steel.

Nice, I didn't even know CYMA built those nowadays :) I'd like to join in with a very old classic: FTC Colt Woodsman springer (pushcock system) with shells und "pre-classic" ammunition, dates back to 1982:
