Absolutely amazing. I am close to being speechless, but not close enough... ;->
So THAT'S how you use a rotary table!! I've been wondering for a while, but haven't researched it yet. I am completely stunned that you can build something like that without a mill and a lathe... umm, I'm assuming you haven't upgraded your workshop since the WA2000? If you have, what did you add? 8-) Louis (Machinist wannabe) |

Disclaimer: I am not a legislator, lawyer, or a member of the law enforcement community. What follows should be treated as merely my opinions. I try to be accurate, but I cannot guarantee accuracy.
With respect to building airsoft guns: In Canada, I believe that it is legal to build firearms. The key is that they must be given a serial number and registered once finished. I also believe (and here I am not sure) that one requires a gunsmithing license in order to do this. Airsoft guns are not classed as firearms, but replicas. Here the law seems to get very fuzzy. It is not legal to sell a replica. I believe it is not legal to possess a replica. I've heard the term 'grandfathering' used in the case of replicas, but AFAIK this term only applys to real firearms, which are registered. As well, there are three categories of grandfathering: full auto, assult rifles, and short barreled pistols. Grandfathering for full autos came first. Being grandfathered for one category does not mean that one is grandfathered for all: I have 12(5) (assult rifle) on my PAL, so I could purchase an AR15 but not a Thompson or a Walther PPK. As airsoft are not registered, there is no record of who owns what and therefore they cannot be 'grandfathered' as firearms are. That being said, there seems to be a tacit grandfathering in place: to whit, if the owner does not cause trouble they will be left alone. My guess is that, as airsoft are not normally capable of lethal projectile energies, law enforcement would rather pursue something more serious. After all, airsoft really is a game. Having said all that: An individual should be able to undertake the manufacture and/or modification of an airsoft gun in Canada without much concern. So long as they treat the end product with the same level of concern and care that they would use for a purchased product, there should be no problem. If they start manufacturing for sale, however, they may get into trouble. Disclaimer: I am not a legislator, lawyer, or a member of the law enforcement community. What preceded should be treated as merely my opinions. I try to be accurate, but I cannot guarantee accuracy. Louis |

To paraphrase my comment on one of his other threads here about his guns... With his gun builds, he's given more men hardons than Jenna Jameson in her prime.

lol, thanks, I have a little mill now, I bought it for the Alpine project, it was essential for the DSR, not bought a lathe yet. I only needed 2 bits doing on a lathe so I got a friend to turn them for me, the barrel end and the bipod legs.
love this picture!

I am having a little trouble deciding from the photo where the magazine sits when it feeds. If it is to the rear of the pistol grip, then this is the first bullpup bolt action that I have ever seen. (Was wondering why no-one had come up with the idea before...)

Yes the front is a spare mag for quick changes. The rear loads and works as it should, as the rear gun does. Putting the cocking lever infront of the magazine is...... was a major headache and I think thats why no one made one before! Rather than move the magazine back I opted to move the lever forward, just a different way of solving the problem.

I was lucky the guy I bought the M700 from knew of me and gave me a special price
 Lots of people like the alpine, ive had 3 offers on that so far! the most was £2000, about $4000, but I couldnt part with it. All of the guns are very special to me.
