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 done on the SVU. I usually try to go more or less authentic, but here I didn't care - it just looks so nicely badass 😋 Bearpaw OTs-03 SVU steel version with realsteel 1P21:

I'll chime in here, this looks extremely promising! Definately interested in getting one of these.

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 loading breach is black, as are the hammer and the trigger. Might be, that Prime stopped production midway... or maybe a modder lost interest to go full monty... So this might be a real one-off, in this configuration possibly the only one of its kind. Build quality is extremely high, of course, and it has a very nice, authentic weight of 1.030g. The Casyopea shells are a lot of fun. Really pretty enthusiastic about this one 😃

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 about the weight of a real one and almost 1kg heavier than a standard WE Desert Eagle. Mighty blowback, especially using CO2 magazines. Friend of mine helped me out with the gap in the back of those realsteel wood grips. he filled it in perfectly. Thanks a ton! Comparison with a standard WE L6

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 measurements for an old japanese plastic GBB

Looks amazing, is that a custom built GBB?

Usually, I really don't like paintjobs in general, but yours really works well Magpie, good job! Just posting a few pics in various forums Asahi M40A1 (I reckon most of you here know about the history of these) with a Kitagawa Seizosho Unertl USMC 10x clone on top and a Harris bipod: Very nice clone of the USMC scope:

Just taking a few pics of everything in the collection to catagolize it, so I'll join with that AK GHK AKMs with steel outer, steel trigger unit parts, recoil kit, steel hopup unit, steel LCT PBS-1, Ra-Tech wood grip, a bunch of GHK mags and 2 ProWin mags (which must be the most stupid design for a 3rd-party mag-rebuild ever, you cannot fill them with gas without a fairly long adapter piece for the gas bottle )

Very nice WWII gear pics here! Hope it's ok to just post gun-pics aswell, as I don't play or reenact, just collect I'll start with 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.

Socom Gear Barrett M82A1 V1 semi-AEG - a LOT of steel on this monster, just the barrel and the muzzle break are made out of aluminum, the rest is steel. VERY heavy and came with upgraded gearbox and 650mm Madbull inner barrel from the factory. Always wanted to go for the Socom Gear M107 GBB instead, but somehow never got my hands on one. Now I'm thinking of parting with this M82 due to a few expensive new other guns, so if you're interested and willing to spend a lot of money, let me know This screams for an HPA conversion by the way ;)

Some WWII stuff Tanaka Arisaka Type44 Cavalry G&G M1903 converted to USMC Sniper version using a realsteel C-stock, Unertl reproduction scope and several realsteel metal parts:

Few pics of a KHC Maverick M88 (this was commented twice, once in the thread, once via pm, after I posted fotos of the collection - never expected this to be the gun that gets the most attention 😅) A real fun gun! Plastic as far as the eye can see, but surprisingly rigid and sturdy. First airsoft shotgun sporting several barrels, this shotgun fires 4 BBs through 4 barrels at once (and was released 5 years prior to the TM SPAS12 ;)) Has a BB reservoir, you simply pour BBs through an opening in the carryhandle, rack the foregrip and fire away.

Hi everyone, thanks a lot guys! Can't deny it's always nice to hear positive comments regarding the collection Of course I know, that there are loads of collectors out there with far more guns and an even broader variety of rare stuff. Didn't know this video by Negative, that's an absolutely awesome collection! Especially as he owns extremely rare guns from the classic era, as mentioned, I love guns from back then. So that's amazing and yes, he definately has a bigger collection PS: To be fair, though, he doesn't have to cope with german bureaucracy and our ludicrous gun laws 😅 As a small example: When I want something, that is not officially sold by a shop here, like, say, a collector's item like a Western Arms, and I want to import it, I have to contact two different agencies to get permits, have the gun sent to one of our departments for firearm testing, they test the gun and put their stamp of approval on it, then send it back to me. The complete process costs between 125 and 150€, all to have a "toy gun" legally imported into Germany -.-
