Had a nice day target shooting at the range today, yes target rifle shooting is my thing but also have an interest in historical pistols now have 6 in my collection and only planning on 1 more the Schofield. Today the RFD at the range got me to have a go with a MP40 I do like the look of them and my Action man loved his when I was a young lad. Not the sort of thing I was considering to purchase but its a new one never been sold but has been in its box at the back of his shop for a long time and forgotten. He said I will get the full paperwork if wanted the gun £200.

It was the normal version, I had a go with it seems fine, I was advised no full auto in UK, yet he has a crossbow that would go through you at 100 metres

Go and get it. YOLO

I had a list of guns i wanted to get when i started my collection ... there wernt many guns on it ... about 7 or 8 but then of course i joined the RAF and im afraid that now my small collection is nearing 30 ... This place is a bad influence on me lol The Scofield is lovely choice ... i have one that i converted to a 5" barrel as it is more balanced in the hand than the 7" in my opinion also it looks good. i went for a sten as my choice of machine gun as i guess i was feeling patiotic and it tied in really well with my Lee Enfield, also being airsoft it is full steel construction (not zinc alloy) and has full auto option . the Lee Enfield needed some work to bring it in line with wht i wanted ... There are some great replicas on here that will influence you into buying more

Hear Hear regarding the Crossbow/Full Auto reference! I shot my Crossbow from my house, down the garden (100 yards ish) and into a pallet. Not a 'normal' pallet but one of them there heavy blue ones. The bolt went into one of the blocks that seperate the pallet. A pair of Mole Grips couldn't get the bolt out so I had to chisel the block around the bolt to get it free....................and we can't have 'full auto' as you said. Totally crackers!
