Counts as ......... ??

Tried to PM with this query, but the PM system didn't like jpeg extensions ?? :slap:

Currently trying to 'rationalise' the gun collection, as my current average attendance of 1 airsoft event per year and having 2 doz rifles seems a little excessive (she says !? :wife: )

If I get rid of my MP40's, would this be acceptable as a 'counts as' .............. ??

Could pass for a PPSh (they also had straight mags as well as drum mags). Or even a Beretta!

With that barrel and stock, it looks nice and old school, who cares what it looks closest to - it looks 1930s/1940s and that's good enough for me! :D

Cheers for the positive feedback, guys.

I've yet to use it in 'woodland' but in an urban environment it works well; It has a good feel to it and better balance than a Thompson or MP40.

For interested parties, it's a standard after-market wood stock (KM, iirc) and an Asahi Sterling front end (which was originally bought in for an MP28/Lanchester project :roll: ). I'm trying to get hold of a spare set of grips to paint up as wood-effect.

Just didn't want to spoil the 'suspension of disbelief' by turning out with a 'modern' weapon if I do ever get to a CiA bash :oops: :slap:

Kinda looks like some sort of mini German MG. Little bi-pod on the front and a conical dummy drum on the side,.. *ta-da!*

Have now mod'd it slightly ................

-- attachment is not available --

The side-mounted mag is only cosmetic (MP40 mag casing) but can/will hold a custom 9.6v AA-celled battery 8)

.......... with the side-mounted mag, yes MP18/28-ish was the idea :)

Need to brace the inside of the battery space, where the mod'd Sterling mag well joins the body, to avoid snapping the body if the mag gets a whack, but it will all be bolt-on/off, so can be converted back to 'normal' within a few minutes.

Indeed, now looks like an MP28 or MP34 - cool.

Have now moved the side mag-well forward and down slightly so that it's roughly on the centre line with the barrel but more importantly is fixed through the hand guard via 2 offset bolts; if worse case happened and the mag did get snapped off, only the hand guard should be affected, not the main body.

Once I'm happy with the job, I may just sell the package, dependent on interest shown - if anybody wants to register interest and/or PM me re buying it, please do so .....................
