Hi all, just getting back into Replica air guns now I've retired and have some time to myself. Started with a Smith & Wesson M&P which unfortunately developed a fault due to really poor quality "metal" components. Big up to Vector Air for a prompt exchange to a Colt .45 CQCP. It's an absolute world of difference, far superior components and accurate to boot. I've made new Mahogany contoured grips and stripped and polished the slide. Next gun is the S&W M29 6.5" barrel, What a beauty, cant stop holding it and I think I've polished it mote than fired it !! Spent some time making a couple of nice display stands and generally farting about with them. So there I am, thinking about my next purchase, what to have, what to have....

That's you all set now DeadEyeDick, 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... |

Next gun is the S&W M29 6.5" barrel, What a beauty, cant stop holding it and I think I've polished it mote than fired it !! I've just received my replacement S&W 29-6½" today ! Finally managed to get one that isn't faulty and it goes so well alongside the 3" version that I've also got, just need the 8 incher for the full house now, lol  |
