It wasnt 'reactivated' in this country so I dont see that being a huge problem.

It was brought into the country as an airsoft gun, not a deact.

 

then by same token I could arrange to have any weapon converted to airsoft/air rifle so long as I had the work done outside the UK - I honestly dont see the authorities wearing that

By your theory realsword and some GWS AEGs would also be illegal :?

I dont think it applies to this scenario, as the gun is brought in as a single item, which is an airsoft gun

 

realsword doesnt use functional load bearing parts and im not sure if GWS does. but, yes if they use real steel, functioning load bearing parts they would be illegal in the UK.

 

and iloveics, would it really be worse than bursting into flames? :D that apparently happened a lot with OC-14s

real sword have already went to some length to state that while they use same construction materials the internals of their desings are not and never have been real firearms, much same as the Junkers AK. Thats qualitatively different from taking a real firearm, converting it to airsoft and bringing it into the UK

Yunkers CO2 AKs use RS gas blocks and receivers and are perfectly legal. I think your getting confused with purchasing pressure bearing parts on their own.

 

yunkers co2 air rifles do not use real steel receivers theres no internal rails from the centrefire version no magwell dimples the steel isnt heat treated the front trunnion is totally different and the gas block on those Ive seen are fake

 

Same goes for the makarov CO2 pistols - frames arent hardened, slide rails are different dimensions making it imposible to interchange slides, barrel trunnions are machined differently for same reason slide internals are different. The only interchangeable parts are trigger bar safety catch mainspring and pistol grip Even the triggers hammers and slidestop/ejector are different

 

With the issues in Chechnya the russian authorities imposed pretty strict requirements on this sort of stuff themselves. Sellers like to advertise 90 percent parts from the real thing etc but while some parts might have same starting point at best they're whipped off the line unfinished, and often just made from scratch specifically for the CO2 variants.

For US you can buy pretty much anything except a receiver and IIRC the fire control parts and its a s legal as owning a teddy bear. Thats why you see Comrade_MP1's MpiKM with a RS gas piston. I might do a conversion for RS gas block, tube, front sight, but the rest seem too damn hard. The stock on my Romy AIM that I'm working on is a b****. The pins are just basically screw with the heads cut off. 40% done with now.

You can buy anything here in the US, long as it's not illegal to own. You can even go ahead and build your own weapons at home as long as they conform to certain laws, it's perfectly fine. I'm going to build a Romy G someday, of course being in california, there are further restrictions :/ .

Yeah, I do have a Romy bolt in the works, just a lot of work and time. My AK is even going to have a mostly intact barrel except for the fact that it was cut in half and will need to be bored up to fit a inner barrel. I also know of some guy building Mosin Nagants out of real ones with only a few parts removed. I also remember seeing a guy used a real Bulgarian AK and modded the barrel and spent shells to take the bb's and use green gas, also believe that the gas system of the AK was also modded as used the blowback to load the next cartridge.

 

Gonna do the minimum inside my stock, gonna use a crane stock batt or a nun chuck. Gonna sand down the insides and use something so it will be pretty and no splinters.

I really like how solid and sturdy the screws are, so Im gonna try and use the screw for the stock, maybe even modify the tangs from either a real milled AK lower tang or tangs assembly from a CYMA CM.028 . I also do believe I got a second MPi handguard set coming in :)

Fido, that is going to be awwwwwsome.

 

Grim, could be done, but the size dimensions are different and gonna have to do a lot of work. Pretty sure a gearbox won't fit inside because of the short length of the reciever. Quite possible to try and get a hold of a Real Sword Type 56 gearbox, but I think that's gonna be hard enough. Then stuff like anchoring the hop up and boring up the barrel for the inner barrel, man , lots of work, time, money.
