Converting from a deac is a naughty, and modifying any existing gun is also a naughty. That being said, if you buy something from overseas that uses demilitarized components and is now for all intents and purposes an airsoft gun, then that's what it is.

Cromulon1994 Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 If anything you're deactivating it more with airsoft modifications. Either way if you "binned" the reciever and barrel from a deac you're really left with a stock, sights, banding ect which are all restriction free items. For a proper shady area look at obsolete calibers, there was a company selling obsolete martini Henry's chambered for madbull shells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tackle Posted March 1, 2021 Moderators Share Posted March 1, 2021 Obviously I'd never encourage anybody to break the law, & therefore my question is purely hypothetical BUT If a genuine airsofter, someone commited to playing & furthering the sport, was to butcher a deac in order to put Airsoft gubbins in it, & then use it for genuine skirmishing, who would care enough to report it, after all it's still non lethal & subsequently even less likely to be modded for live ammo. Also, what does "Shoot & Scoot" use for his smle Springer's etc ?, Denix replicas ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stodgy Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Homage to a scout sniper: KJW M700 as a base, barrel shortened for 430mm inner barrel and a CO2 adaptor for the stock. Just waiting on one connector and will be good to go. GothicGhost, Nick G and CrackCommandoUnit1972 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenuineGerman Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 I’ve always understood that if you interfere with a deact you could be in trouble as you invalidate the deact certificate and could be view as recommissioning it. However I’m not an expert so personally wouldn’t attempt it or purchase one that has been converted. a couple of a years I heard of a bloke trying to sell a fj42 Deact which he converted to fire blanks. Probably just a myth but something I wouldn’t touch Tackle and John_W 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interestingly, the rules have been changed recently, and you are supposed to register any deacs you own, not just have a certificate. If it’s an old U.K. spec, you can’t transfer ownership in any way (sell, give away, prize draw etc) without getting it officially changed to EU spec (that’s fully welded bolt, trigger and mag) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed - It's an oldschool QXL dive light (replica, since they're genuinely impossible to find), wrapped in bike inner tube and held with jubilee clips - just like Larry's in the clip below.

Still to get to shoot it, fitted a London Bridge Trading sling and just got some PTS tan mags for it Love the look of this thing Nick G and GothicGhost 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the file type (usually wanna be .jpg or .png), you can get a pretty big and high quality image (in airsoft terms) at well under 2mb.

SheriffHD Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 My winter project. A mix of parts that didnt want to fit together but were made to comply. (Surpassingly it shoots better than expected +/- 6fps) G&P colt stamped receiver Nuprol Bocca handrail + Silcencer CYMA gearbox (its all I had spare) Big dragon pistol grip (Its horrible and needs replacing) GothicGhost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob Wright Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Picked up this G3 a while ago. Just waiting for a flash hider from LCS to arrive, I’ll chop the inner barrel that extends into the suppressor down so it’s more close quarters friendly. Also got a railed handguard but not sure I want to ruin the classic lines of it, although it would be nice to mount a torch? What do people think?

Enid_Puceflange Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Sorry, going off topic here: I feel something has changed in the websites “settings” so to speak Up until recently, I could quite happily have a photo on my phone and upload it here without hassle, I’m getting the same “Upload exceeds size message” now what I am doing is when making a post that I wish a photo inserted, I do the text and choose Take Photo , instead of the Upload a photo option works fine that way, but kinda restrictive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
