Damn, well I guess this project is over before it even started lol, also heroshark, if you don't mind my asking, where was that picture with those replicas taken? Would like to pay a visit if I could.

Even PPS and APS Shells? cos i see those floating around UK websites and as packages together with the airsoft guns here on this forum

So I was able to get my hands on a pristine condition Snider Enfield Rifle on the cheap. My intentions were to deactivate it for export and seal the barrel up and everything but it occurred to me that it might possibly be able to chamber and fire airsoft shells that had self contained gas. But before that i just had some questions. 1. Are self contained gas shells still legal in the UK? i recall hearing a while back that BACS CO2 airsoft guns were classed as section 5 firearms for the specific reason that they were too real, but at the same time i see APS shotgun shells floating around in the UK. 2. What would be the closest fit for a 577/450 chamber? Its equivalent to a 24 gauge shotgun shell so its about 16mm in diameter, I think APS shells are a close fit and maybe PPS Shells? I was also looking into 3D printing adapters for smaller sized single shot pistol or rifle airsoft cartridges if anyone knows any good and easy to get ones out there. I refuse to modify the gun in any way to damage a historical artifact or accidentally entering non-obsolete caliber territory, so shaving off material at the breech end is out of the question for me. 3. Are there any reasonably priced self contained gas shells out there on the market? or is anyone willing to sell?
