Gun picture thread

This was a project and a half. Tokyo Marui MK46 MOD 0.

It had the wrong flash hider, broken front sight, missing comfort grips on the front handguard, missing foot from the bipod, broken recoil mech and didn't feed properly oh and it was spray painted in desert colours.

After much scrubbing, 3D designing the recoil mech and comfort grips and general tinkering it's finished (apart from I'm looking for the correct front sight and maybe some original comfort grips)

The only problem with these is people will think they're nicked from a base rofl.   In some of your other close up shots I could just about see the tiny things that show they're airsoft iirc, but if you showed 99% of small arms qual'd service members these pics they'd assume they're real, and not just real but been in an armoury rotation/active use for 35 years+.  The worn paint pen, dymo labels and athena tags are a crazy good combo in terms of replication.

Yeah I get that bud. I've also had concerns about how far I go. But at same time it's a nice compliment 

When in person there are easy ways to tell. One is the serial number underneath as all ares start stx not avl. 

Second, the little hole at rear of the mount isn't present .

 
Don't get me wrong, not saying the cops are gonna bust down your door or anything lol.  They're just that well done.

I'm all for it myself as the vast majority of high-fidelity replicas out there are over done SF ARs (nice guns, just over done) or maybe some AKs; anything that's super popular internationally.  SA80 family gats are rare enough in airsoft, let alone unusual modifications or faithful replications.

 
I think ‘contraption’ best sums that up!

The workings are insane looking!

It's quite a good design for 1885.

The idea was it was enclosed so nothing could foul up the mechanism, it was intended to stop both a charging soldier and protect from dangerous wild animals. They were all handmade and all seem a little different. 

Mine is based off a 455 calibre one as that one is closest to the 45 calibre Cassieopiea shells. 

The mechanism on the replica has been copied from the real one. 

There's a lot of finishing work left to be done with it.
