Half Cocked Armoury

Because there's been some really odd rifs made in the past. French 1700s flintlock paget carbine - KTW Ghost in the shell schrodinger, a 1000 pound plus aep - Laylax Deckards gun from bladerunner - HWS Double barrel 1911 - WE Or quantities of real ones to get airsoft ones made, there were over a million 1861 Springfields made, nearly half a million open top colts just between the 1851 and 1860 models. Just my opinion, I do think they'd sell if done properly. And it would be nice to have a sharps/rolling block/Springfield or enfield with a vsr spec hop and barrel.

That is mechanically simpler than an airsoft conversion to a denix flintlock I'm afraid. Looking to make a batch of 1861 Springfields though hopefully will have a field tested prototype by spring. I find the lack of US civil war airsoft guns (there are only 2 on the market and both discontinued) a bit odd.

It would be totally breaking the law. You can modify a denix to fire aps cam870 shells though.

Not sure whether mine will be phosphate coated as I'm not making mine from steel, I don't want suella braverman kicking my front door down.

Who remembers the goblins that were sold in blister packs? Anyway, I should have a sandcast prototype to show this weekend, of a Cobray FMJ for PPS/Madbull shells, and in theory APS cam870 shells. Made from zinc alloy, with urethane or rubber grips (prototype will have wood) I'm, frankly, gauging interest and am open to further suggestions but would be looking to make a small pile of these as Half Cocked Armoury's first little dip into official making.

It wouldn't be difficult, but it would be expensive. Let's say materials cost 50 quid. But you'd need to pay for the time, and the fact the fella/lass who makes it has a lathe, grinder, polisher, pillar drill, workshop area ect. It would actually be quite simple, but not financially viable. Personally I'd cast the reciever/hammer/levers ect out of a variation of Zamak and make the barrel from mild steel, with a long 8mm wide slot in the base of the barrel. The actual pin (is it on the hammer or a transfer?) ideally made from polymer. The last thing you want to make is something that can actually go bang.
