interesting even has a fake bolt with locking lugs. so proprietary hop unit unless it retracts into the bolt. better be made out of some heavy duty material looks flimsy.

TM retired it 3 or 4 years a go. Pretty sure CYMA has retired theirs as well.

Just need a STI Edge, some Rabbit ears and tail.

For that sort of money you are looking at importing a Submachine gun like a one of the VFC HK series you can get a gun and several mags for £400. You won't be able to get a Rifle that doesn't need work and enough mags for that. I highly recomend checking out Explosive Enterprises on you tube for everything GBBR.

So pricing is how much are raw materials? how much is the machine time? how many man hours goes into making it. If you can make a shell for less than a couple thousand I'll be impressed. Also that is beautiful work.

STLs i bought are for a fully functional pump action.

How you getting on? i am considering using Alu tubing for barrel and magazine.

I have a pair of Meteor Lite.

I have impact grenades that use them.

Back on track! 1st part printed for my China Lake pump action grenade launcher.

Agreed, but we just need a few more Cosplayers wave RIFs in public and they might start paying attention.

It's all academic until a case is bought to trial. issue is as far as i can tell manufacturing is not clearly defined and the term modifies is only used in terms of turning an IF to RIF. So two scenarios 1) A person with out a defense buys all the parts necessary to make a function RIF and assembles it they are guilt of manufacturing a RIF. 2) A person without a defense is gifted a RIF or hasn't played for years replaces every part in the gun other than the Gearbox case, spring guide and rear sight with non like for like parts so what was once an MP5 is now a G3. yes that is modification i would say that's also manufacturing and I bet a prosecutor could make a convincing argument in that favor. I know that's a extreme argument but even converting an M4A1 to and M16A2 means replacing over 60% of the external parts. the argument is manufacturing and modification are different things but they aren't clearly defined terms in the VRCA. Either way unless they have a nice paper trail of purchases are catching you in the act they can't prove anything illegal was done.
