WW2 British Airborne Impression... work in progress

[McNair]

True, but then again it wouldn't be airsoft... using a real Enfield at an op would get you a nice stay in a federal pound-me-in-the-pooper prison for the majority of your life

Considering how much I typically spend in a year for paintball, $550-650 for a Lee-Enfield replica is small potatoes.

Speaking of which, I'll be at the Portland gun show this weekend looking for Enfield parts

You're right, it wouldn't be airsoft with a real enfield. It'd be reenacting w/ blanks... which i could put together a basic impression for for the same price as an airsoft enfield i dunno. I always had more fun spending $20 on 50 blanks than $13 on 2500bbs.

Enough with the math war and explain your reasoning.

Darius I think know what your getting at. Airsoft enfields like many airsoft replicas of older weapons cost a lot more than real ones but thats for a really good reason. The real enfield was mass produced for the military and is no longer in service, in other words army surplus. Same thing for the mosin nagant.
Both the real and the replica are sold as low as they can but the replica hasn't been mass produced making each unit cost more than the ones that are mass produced. Also the real steel is used, discarded and plentiful.

Sorry john boy and mcnair thats how business works these days.

Though to get around such costs I have been thinking about buying a real steel mosin nagant and Dboy's kar then cannibalizing them into an airsoft mosin nagant. Same thing could be done with the enfield. But thats just an idea I had a while back I haven't even drew up anything for it yet.

Maybe, rookie.
But some of our Enfields are in fuckin' premo condition.
Are you blowing off m14s? M16A1s? etc?
All of those are in the same situation.
Fact is, an $80 rifle shouldn't cost me $600+ for a replica that shoots bbs. The shit that will kill a human being should be the more expensive thing. That is how the world works.
If you pay more for the fake thing, you're a fuckin' tard.
that is how the world works. Sorry. Anyone who isn't a fuckin' 12 yr old at heart will think so.

Rookie? Right, whatever makes you feel better

Premo condition created using mass production still = cheap.
I was not blowing off any firearm just mentioning a few examples.

What SHOULD be has little to do with what IS. Fact is that the replicas cost more than the real in some situations and no amount of whining is going to change that.

If you pay more for the fake thing, you're a fuckin' tard.
that is how the world works. Sorry.

And obviously "thats" not how the world works otherwise it would be working the other way around and we wouldn't be having this conversation.

Anyone who isn't a fuckin' 12 yr old at heart will think so.

I don't think so as most 12 year olds would not grasp or care about the workings of business and economy. Therefore they would think what you do that its stupid.

It costs more to make an airsoft AK-47 than a real one.
