the cleaner Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 that is simply fascinating, now that makes me want to save the 70k dollars, meet the former president of Carl Walther america, and buy a real WA2000 from him, candyman you have defined perfection and patience at its best, you have become my idol for undergoing such task and making an end result that is a true masterpiece and should be displayed at a museum. my most sincere congratulations go to you and thanks for inspiring us with your genious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Last I saw, a real WA2000 for sale was running about $34k (USD). That was years ago. . . keep in mind that something like 75-81 (some odd #) pieces were made. . there were more airsoft ones, both my Asahi/Geneth, made than the real steel. . I think 150 for the Asahi and 300 for the Geneth ( I had #196). Link to post Share on other sites

snorkelman Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I dont even like the WA2000 but thats still the best homegrown scratch built gun ever move to the states and churn out insane airsoft guns for folks with deep pockets +1 coming your way but i think theres a queue formed to hand them out Link to post Share on other sites

Candyman Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Good fun job this one. How Hitman squeezes it into a briefcase i'll never know! Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Damn, I'd gladly order another one, this time fitted with a KJW Ruger Mk1. Dirt cheap gun with enough punch to not be discussed on these forums (espec. when you drop in a "carbine" barrel). Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 I looked at using that pistol but with the co2 jobbie it'd have made the magazine too fat, wouldn't have looked right. *edit* im getting mixed up! anyhoo that one doesnt have blow back and i like blowback! incidently i should have a chrono reading this week!

BakaBox Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 That rifle is truly a work of art. Link to post Share on other sites
cllwayzata2011 Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 if i had 50 posts id give you a+1. I think i will go through the forums and put a pointless reply on everything i see, just so i can give you a rep point. That is one sexy toy. I think the airsoft gods are very much pleased, hell i think you may already be an airsoft god. Nice job dude Link to post Share on other sites
tomster Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Simply amazing. I don't know how much you earn making ID-cards, but I'm sure you could earn a LOT making these custom replicas. No doubt about it. Link to post Share on other sites

Panzergraf Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Wow, that's fantastic! Do you have any pictures of the internals? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 *edit* im getting mixed up! anyhoo that one doesnt have blow back and i like blowback! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hm, right. How about KWC Sigma? Or HFC Wingun 101B? You surely had to cut the WA gun to size and I'm sort of reluctant to cut up a WA (as it's rare here and costs nearly 200 quid, which is insanely much here), but a HFC? Sure... Also, Mk1 has very hard trigger pull, which isn't really good for a sniper rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
Candyman Posted June 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Yeh i wasnt too sure what i wanted as a donor gun, i have a WA pistol already and they seem of a high quality, also the single stack mags are very thin which was a requirement. I just thought i'd stick to what i knew. Do you have any pictures of the internals? all pics here Link to post Share on other sites
