Gun picture thread

and the other gun I bought at the boot sale was a VFC HK417 GBB (i'll probably swap the LPOV for a Spectre x1.5/x6 DR)

if anyone has a good source for VFC G36 magazine springs, let me know so I can change the mags from 20 rounds to 30.
Mate this may be the next project I take on love this gun looks like it’s built like a tank
 
I present to you the cheapest (and probably crapest) DMR in airsoft the KJW MK1 carbine. The trigger is double action only making the pull ridiculously long and heavy and the muzzle energy can be a bit spicy so I'm adding a HPA valve to the mag to make it usable

God I remember back in the day getting an air rifle that looked like this crosman something I think that was powered by the CO2 capsules
 
Recce rifle build done. Will be my standard go-to rifle that can flex between 1.14J or 1.88J. I still have the standard full auto selector in my MWS parts box, but it's currently semi-locked and I don't really care much for full auto on GBBRs anyway. I think I will generally use it as a 1.14J rifle though, because LPVOs aren't amazing for seeing where BBs are at distance, and at my local site it depends where we're playing whether a DMR is useful or useless, so I can take the mk12 as my DMR and use it if we're playing the top of the site, recce rifle as my 1.14J if we're at the bottom of the site, and only need to pack one set of mags as they're both MWSs. It's nice to have options!

And it has a proper 16" barrel with 15" handguard. None of that half way house 14.5" barrel nonsense. It's an absolute joy to use.

She’s a beauty pal 👍🔫👍
 
It does look almost identical to the Crossman Ratcatcher but it's based on the Ruger MK1 pistol, just with a longer barrel and stock
Yes mate that’s the badger ratcatcher lol 😂

I never realised at the time I had mine it was based on a real firearm

Bloody hell when I think back at what air guns I had over the years when I was younger I don’t know what hobby is more expensive that or airsoft

Hogue rubber AR-15 pistol grip

It's very comfortable, and fills that annoying gap between grip and trigger guard

I don't think the Crossman was a deliberate attempt to copy anything real. Ruger only made the MK1 pistol and KJW adapted their copy to make the carbine.

If anything it's a case of form following function
