Hi all, I'm a retired relative noob to replicas, my main interest is airgun target and general plinking with my PCP rifle. My interest in replicas started a couple of months ago when i got a pellet Sig-Sauer X5 for a laugh and realised how much fun they were for garden enjoyment. Looking deeper into things I discovered the world of replica BB guns and was instantly hooked.  Being in the UK I'm fairly certain these replicas will be the closest I will ever get to holding the real-deal, but with the quality and blowback action I think they are a good second place option. I now have the following... Dan Wesson 715 6" & Snub-nose Sig-Sauer X5 Webley Mk6 Battlefield Finish Colt 1911 Walther PPK P08 "Luger" Glock 17 Gen 4 Hopefully my next purchases will be... MP40 M712/C96 M9A3 'full metal' I'm sure there will be more..... |

That's you all set now Dave, you've now got full access to the ' members only' sections (the 'Saloon' and the 'Bargain Basement'), feel free to have a 'mosey' around and post where ever you want. We're a friendly bunch of guys, so feel free to ask any questions you want and we'll do our very best to help you out. If you're wanting to post any photographs to the forum then your best bet is to have a picture hosting account with one of the many FREE websites that are available (Flickr, Postimage, imgbb, etc.), they'll give you a BBCode link to any of your pictures which you simply just 'paste' into your post. If you're needing any more information on posting pictures to the forum then go HEREAll that's left is to officially welcome you to the forum, so... |

Hello again Dave - out of interest are you David Kearley over on the AGF? If so that 3D printed plunger/depressor for the Glock looks fantastic. Might be worth another post to show off your works over here mate 👍🏻

That would be handy if it's the same Dave |
