A friend of mine wanted an SA80 purely for display, he asked my opinion as the 6mm SA80 is extremely expensive its very true to the real steel but a bit too much money just to hang on a wall. I reccomended that he just bought one of the Very cheap plastic spring powered ones (cost abbout £35) and i would try to make it look a bit more realistic. The results are below ,,, im happy with the way it looks , ive added a lot of metal weights and black plastecine to the inside to try to make it feel a bit less toy like, i just have to age the green a little now to finish.

Certainly looks the part. It was not a rifle I enjoyed training with.
