Thanks.
I still have some work to do.
I have a gas block with built in flip up sight for the black gun and a flip up rear sight to go on it.
I have some rail covers on the way as well.
I want to do some more work on the gearboxes and put Mosfets in to them to allow higher voltage and up the ROF.
I want to put tighter barrels in as well.
The black gun houses it's batteries in the stock, it takes an 860 mah Lipo perfectly in the Stock tube.
The other one houses a 1600 mah Lipo in the handguard.
Our local Army Surplus and 'Outdoor' shop sell some Airsoft guns.
He has a two tone 'Dan Wesson' revolver and right next to it a .177 Dan Wesson sold as an Air Pistol without the two tone.
To sum up the law is crazy, you can buy an air rifle or air pistol that looks like a real weapon even though they can do a lot more damage as they are covered by different law.
When you buy the gun it's yours. 'UKARA' is just a way for the retailers to check that you are a regular skirmisher and have a defence for buying a RIF.
When you have it it's yours, you don't need a permit, a UKARA or anything else to own it.
I got half a dozen Mid Cap Mags from China. As they were free P&P I ordered them as separate items so they were individually well below the threshold for tax and duty.
I have stripped paint from model kits with oven cleaner.
Only once did it cause a problem that was a very old figure kit of a French Cavelry officer. I didn't test first and the plastic went all soft.
never happened again on anything else though
Nitromors in the decorating isle.
Most foaming oven sprays will work to strip paint. test on a small patch first, some plastics can be effected by it.
