When i started collecting replica guns 3 years ago i set to at first try to get guns with different types of actions/loading/ammo to them as well as being replicas

i really wanted to own and display . i have almost completed that task ( i think ) with what i have now, my collection is not very big

and there are guns out there i will prob buy in the future once i have all that i set out to get when i started. i already have a small list of those lol

Want these at some point

1. Colt SAA 3.5"
2. Browning high power
3. Glock17 Gen5 T4E ( i know its modern but looks great )
4. Tokarev
5. M29 (again modern ish but totally bad ass, plus i havnt got a swing out cylinder revolver)
9. M1A Underlever ( because i dont have an underlever rifle lol )

There will be more i have no doubt but for now i will get on with what i can. heres what ive got up to now.

1. Winchester 1895 - Underlever rifle
2. M1 Carbine - Semi Automatic rifle
3. Lee Enfield No1 Mk3 - Bolt Action rifle, Also KAR98

4. Colt SAA 5.5" - Single Action Gate loading Revolver, Also Remington 1875
5. Schofield 5" - Single action break top, Top loading Revolver
6. Nagant - 7 shot revolver, Single and Double action
7. Colt 1911 - Semi automatic pistol
8. P08 Luger - Toggle action semi automatic pistol
9. Colt SAA - Gate loading 9mm Blank Firing revolver

Im saving up at the moment for a full auto Sten gun and a Colt 1911 Blank Firing Pistol ..... Then i REALLY must get the webley mk vi i promised myself ages ago

Myself and Billy were praising your skills at ageing and modifying when we met yesterday. Aren't you worried that you won't have any to do on the M29 and Glock if and when you add to the collection

From what i have gathered from the guys on here the only problem with the M29 is the grips ... Not a 5 minit fix as grips for these look rather difficult ....The glock seems to be as near to the real steel in looks as it can be just a pity it doesnt field strip like the original.

A nice solid collection buddy, you do seem to have most bases covered (action, type, etc.) and it will certainly make for a very, very interesting wall display.

We all started off by saying that we would just get this n that and stop going any further (5's enough, maybe 10, okay I like the number 15, but I do actually like the number 20 more, 25 is a good progressive number, 30 is 5 better than 25 so that can't be a bad thing, 35 ? I think that I may have a problem, lol) but unfortunately, temptation is always there, and hell ! The way I see it is that I don't have a large collection, it's actually a small arsenal....

Hanging around this place is never good for self control, I've given up on such things and have gone to the 'dark side' where self control is for other people and self indulgence is the de rigueur round these here neck of the woods
