The_Roach Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 GBBR semi-auto battle rifles. SAFN-49, AG-42, SKS and MAS 49/56, the lot. Real wood, real metal, rubber bayonets. Potentially a BB Trap shower type rifle grenade attachment with those. gavinkempsell, EvilMonkee, Herrgh and 1 other 4
SEAR Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 I'm into heavy weapons. 60 mm M2 mortar I'm starting right now, but I have a weakness for 20 mm Flak gun. It would be much more expensive project though. JimFromHorsham and gavinkempsell 1 1
Supporters TheFull9 Posted September 23, 2023 Supporters Posted September 23, 2023 Standard V2 AEG M4A1 (ideally properly Colt marked) from a high quality brand/in high end form. I know I know big yawn, but we seem to have hit a point of having a million different ARs on the market yet the most basic type is comparatively unusual to find at this point.

I had a similar battle trying to get a bog standard, no frills, OG metal and wood Cyma AK47 a few years back. I remember being on the phone asking a few retailers if they could source one, and all of them saying along the lines of; "What, no rails or anything? Isn't that boring?" No, no it's not. It's classic, you belt-fed throbber. gavinkempsell, Johndaniel4863, BigStew and 1 other 1 3

The last thing you want to be doing is lugging that weight around the airsoft field and I can see why VFC went that route. But, as a collector, having a full weight, GBB M249 in my collection would be awesome. 13 hours ago, JimFromHorsham said: go LAMBDA (my hernia operation is booked for next week ?) That looks spectacular. Is it a full Lambda build or is it Lambda parts on and A&K or Classic Army? Do Lambda parts fit on the VFC?
RostokMcSpoons Posted September 23, 2023 Posted September 23, 2023 (edited) Re: VFC M249 I guess the full weight version would add raw material cost AND delivery costs that sellers might not fancy. So somewhat-sensible business decision not to go the chonky-boi route? Edited September 23, 2023 by RostokMcSpoons Rogerborg and TheFull9 2

OTH21 Posted September 24, 2023 Posted September 24, 2023 Most of mine are almost readily available in the classifieds, just can't justify the purchases at the minute. Wood stocked Ww2 rifle: Garand/Kar98k GBBR Thompson B.A.R Flux Raider build pistol G3 with sliding stock Something that hasn't been made - DP-28 Machine gun. My current build will hopefully be a UK unique AK, but time will tell if I'll get it to look how I want it. And it will need a HPA engine to operate. gavinkempsell 1
